Finished a book!

So my plan of a book a month took a few months off...  ;-)

However, I just finished the book "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.  If you are a Christian, you have to read this book.  Period.  It is a powerful call to what it means to be truly, completely committed to Christ.  I wish that I could say I'm ready to do all this book says, but I can't.  It is almost embarrassing to call ourselves followers of Christ when we live in what would be considered grotesque opulence by most of the rest of the world.  

I was first introduced to Chan last year at the National Worship Leaders Conference and was impressed by his honesty and his call to basically live better than we do.  Not better/richer, but better/like Christ.  This book continues that philosophy.  Very good stuff.  Check it out.  You can also check out Francis Chan's video podcast on itunes.  Gotta love the free stuff!

Watchin' the Olympics right now.  Swimmers, bikers, and gymnasts are incredible.   I'm also working on the Bowie Choir Handbook for this year.  Naunie is off pedicuring and enjoying not having any classwork to deal with.  I believe that she is taking the semester off from Master's work.  Not that she'll be bored dealing with being ESL chair!
