Back from Moose Jaw today! Glad to be home. I said hello to everyone and then went outside and jumped into the pool. Temp is rising – we’re at 75 degrees F. Very nice.

 

It was a good trip and had a great time hooking up with Jerven and others. The trip there and back in the van with D. and my other co-workers would have made the whole thing worthwhile all by itself. They are all great.

 

I picked up a few books while on the road:

 

– Barth for Armchair Theologians by John R. Franke

– For Young Men Only by Jeff Feldham & Eric Rice

– Dating by Hayley Di Marco (this is for teaching out youth – not me)

– Prayer by Karl Barth

– Christians at the Cross by N.T. Wright

 

Very good books all but the one I am most excited about is The Complete Stories of Flannery O’Conner. There are few fiction writers who have been quoted more then O’Conner. The bio at the beginning and the first story I am reading (The Geranium) have convinced me that I will love O’Conner. The amazing thing about this noted American author is that she died at the young age of 39.

 

Let me know if you’ve read anything by O’Conner.
