Matt Judkins, at Catching Meddlers has a great post this morning connecting Eugene Peterson’s book Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places with the themes of Advent. Check it out here.
In other news I have been reading two very interesting books that deal with a bit different subject matter than I normally delve into here. First, is Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris. I am certainly not qualified to critique a book about TR, but I would just say it is a very readable and interesting book, as is the first one The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt.
The second book I am reading is one that is giving me a bit better idea of what is ahead for me in the next major stage in my life: being a father. The book is called Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters. It can be a slightly terrifying read, but I appreciate her perspective.
It is good to read in some different areas. My brother is a history buff, and I am hoping that he is going to send some other great history books my way for Christmas. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the pingback, man. It was good seeing you at the BOM “retreat.” I was glad to read that you passed! I can’t believe it’s been nearly three years since we were at licensing school together. Weird.
No kidding. In a lot of ways it has gone so fast, but in other ways I kind of feel like I’ve known you forever… for better or worse!
