Up, most laundry done, sermon finished, and obligatory nap taken.
Life is good, and I'm feeling much more normal.
"So," you may be asking yourself, "you spent a week in Atlanta with a bunch of preachers . . . what'd you buy?"
First, let me say that I had visions of buying a few gifts here and there, but my budget didn't allow for that. It did, however, allow for a few books. So here's what I came away with the following:
Preaching the Old Testament: A Lectionary Commentary
Sinners: Jesus and His Earliest Followers (this link goes to the blog of the author, Greg Carey -- that's a cool find!)
Nature's Witness: How Evolution Can Inspire Faith (What looks to be another cool find -- the Clashing Culture blog that has lots of intelligent looking posts I need to read such as, Is this your brain on God? and Theistic embryology, the next science-faith debate?)
Preaching & Reading the Lectionary: A Three-Dimensional Approach to the Liturgical Year
Sex, Sacrifice, Shame & Smiting: Is the Bible Always Right?
So there you have it. That was my gift list to myself. And now, sigh, they go to the bottom of my reading stack. Well, except for maybe the two preaching books; they are, after all, resources.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.
