My brain is mush - and its getting mushier. Actually, is got about nine gillion things running around in it. It should land sometime in the next month - or maybe never.
Thigns that have contributed to this include - watching The Woodsman (several of the movies which only aired in “select cities” are now out on DVD), and reading the following (it was a full reading weekend - and some are not quite done) - from Brian McLaren - The Last Word, and the Word After That and A Generous Orthodoxy , from Leonard Sweet - Out of the Question, Into the Mystery , from C.S. Lewis The Great Divorce, and from Dallas Willard (he only got a chapter - for a Bible Study I am in) The Spirit of the Disciplines. Waiting in the wings are Tony Campolo’s book - Speaking My Mindand Hotel Rwanda
Hopefully in the future I will process some of it here in more detail. Not today.
The Silence Devo was last Wednesday (I am really not sure what to think about this upcoming one - we will wait and see.) It ended up being silence in that there was nothing spoken. All of the normal elements of our midweek gathering were there - prayers, thoughts/message, songs, etc. But it was silence for over an hour. A gathering of college students silent. Next time, we will change some things, and take the journey farther into silence.
My is old. And softball reminds me of that. Each Friday our women spend time at the local park - at the batting cages (and playing catch) together. (Yes Greg, when I am working I get to go to the batting cages. I don’t have to sneak off to go.) It is a good time for them to spend together and get excercise at the same time.
Greg - look at you making such a generous offer.
