Monday Brief

Highlight of the week: Kris and Aaron's wedding in Hillsdale this weekend was a blast. Friends from college, it was great to celebrate with them on their big day. A minor "Your Mom's House" Reunion erupted, some funny faces were made, and a NattieMo dance party wrapped up the evening. Good times were had by all.

Joe may not have had fun, but Natalie, Matt and I danced it out (to Maria's jealousy and chagrin).

Book(s) I’m reading: Finished DeSilva's Sacramental Life last week and will make sure it is one I recommend to those inquiring about the Book of Common Prayer. It is a useful tool for understanding the spirituality of the BCP and was impressed that IVP published it. Boyd's Myth of a Christian Religion and David Tracey's Guerrilla Gardening were also wrapped up this week. Boyd wasn't as good as the first book on the topic, but I was generally pleased with it. Tracey was entertaining and enlightening. I'm still working on Jacob's Year of Living Biblically as well as Teresa of Avila's The Way of Perfection, and there are a few other titles on the reading list still as well.

Music I’m digging: New Showbread = WIN for America.

Something(s) that blew my mind: I start teaching incoming freshmen on Wednesday. We have a two-week training program before school starts, but I am teaching for the training program each morning. Man, summer ended quickly.

Ministry update: Lots going on, nothing to say about it just yet. Stay tuned.

Looking forward to: Tigers game with friends on Tuesday. Going to Boston in October.
