• Currently A Deadly Misunderstanding: A Congressman's Quest to Bridge the Muslim-Christian Divide By Mark D. Siljander see related

  Feeling busy but good

  Real quick (or as quick as I can type in the next 6 mins): My last week was busy with good things. I got to spend time with all kinds of different people every evening after work last week. I love variety! Don't you? I met some new and interesting people and got to re-connect with people I hadn't seen/talked to in awhile. (Work was fairly productive, too.) I have a couple photos I intended to post... maybe next time?

  I thought I should update about my hunt for a church. Back at the end of December I had made a resolution to commit to finding a church to call my home. And God has led me to the perfect place! The pastor and his wife are new as of February (and about my age - the majority of the congregation is generally older). I loved this place immediately with it's orange carpet and homemade pillows on every pew. His messages are outstanding - always causing me to think differently about passages of scripture I've read thousands of times. The people are excited about the newness they've been invited into (their last pastor was with them for 25 years) and are getting prepared to engage in the purpose God has for them. I am truly glad to have found this church.

  Sidenote: I've read a couple books recently that I want to recommend to all of you. Both works of non-fiction that have really given me perspective.

  Dead Man Walking by Helen Prejean

  A Deadly Misunderstanding by Mark Siljander

  Okay! Nothing very entertaining in this post - just a basic update. I know everyone is leaving xanga, but not me. No sirree. I don't have the patience to learn a whole new blogging deal. Facebook is ridiculous enough. Peace!
