Yada, yada, yada

I really don't have anything to write about today. Seriously, I just spent about 10 minutes staring at the screen after I wrote the first sentence. Still nothing.

It was cold here today. Pilates at 8:30. Shower. Crossword puzzle. Office. Produce market. Home. Target. Home to read Christianity for the Rest of Us by Diana Butler Bass and another book on theology. Then off to a centering prayer group at 5:30. Followed by a trip to my friend Laine and Sheldon's to return a book. Hung out for a little while and read "That's Not My Train" and played a couple of rounds of peek-a-boo with L & S's son, Linden. Very cute little boy. I seriously want at least one of those things. Then back home for a burrito and to write this blog.

I just spent an hour video chatting with my friend Mary Sue who wanted me to say that she is very tan and skinny. She is leaving for Puerto Rico on a mission trip in two days. Let me just be clear I am so glad that I am not travling to Puerto Rico with a group of teenagers. I am over being a leader on a youth trip. I remember one camp where two of the boys threw pennies at me when the lights went out. Now I absolutely love both of these boys but I am lad that I don't have to sleep in the same room with teenagers like them.

Alright, so I'm hoping for more to say tomorrow.

Good night! (Or good morning which is more likely when all of you are reading this.)

P.S. I'm not editing this because it is late now so sorry.

I'm also currently reading Christianity for the Rest of Us. What do you think of it? I'm reading it with some colleagues and they seem to be getting more out of it than I am. My main problem is that all the churches she discusses are urban or suburban, while my churches are clearly rural. Also, my area is just now going thru all the changes she talks about happening back in the 1970's. Seriously, there is a generation gap in this part of the world. People here who are my parents' age seem more like my grandparents' age. All that to say that although I'm enjoying the book, I can seem to relate it much to my current ministry. What about you?

Oops. I meant I can't seem to relate...

Ellen,

Too early for me to give my opinion. But I'll let you know.
