Highlight of the week: I'm gonna go with people in general. I had a great lunch with a student on Wednesday, had a surprisingly good time at a cross country meet on Thursday, met for lunch at Taco Bell on Friday, and ran into a long-lost friend on Friday night. I love people.
Book(s) I'm reading: I read Phyllis Tickle's this weekend. Awesome. I'll be writing up a blog post for it soon-ish. And as always, I'm still working on Tom Friedman's for the nerd book club.
Music I'm digging: Copeland, (link opens in iTunes). Currently, Copeland is my #4 (well, all- time), and of the top 8, only Copeland and Coldplay are artists I haven't seen live. That will be remedied if I can make it up to Minneapolis to see them on the 31st.
Something(s) that blew my mind: My alma mater, , was to collaborate "in a search for breakthroughs in the fight against climate change". Take that, Wartburg.
Ministry update: I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, but LOTS of good stuff is happening at St. Mark. Also, I love ambiguity.
Seminary/ordination update: Next up: 45 -- 60 minute phone interview with someone in admissions; date and time to be determined.
Looking forward to: Reclaiming Paul.
