...our easter worship service at the manna house was great. we're really grateful we got to meet there this weekend. some pictures are included at the end of this post...next week we're having a worship fiesta and then it's on the to the rec center!
...thanks to my friend april all i listen to now is this guy, rocky votolato...he's amazing...
...on the topic of music, derek webb (formerly of caedmon's call), has a new album coming out in may...he's become a bit of a controversial figure and even if i don't always like the musical direction he chooses he is a very compelling voice for justice in the music world...i'm sure you'll hear more about this from me after the album comes out...
...i started reading this book called "A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder, How Crammed Closests, Cluttered Offices, and On-the-Fly Planning Make the World a Better Place." this book is in the style of malcom gladwell (The Tipping Point) and steven johnson (Emergence and Everything Bad is Good for You)....i love these kinds of books and this one in particular is fun because i've not often been praised for my organization skills. the basic premise of the book is that most systems actually function better and with greater health when there is a certain amount of mess or randomness in the system. there is ample evidence by the authors that the highly organized, "clean desk", neat freak is actually quite inefficient. i'm only about a third of the way through so i may have more to say about this later, but it's quite thought provoking so far...
...my fantasy baseball team is in third place after one week, and this is with pujols off to a slow start and several players not available due to the weather problems that are cancelling a lot of games...i like where i'm at so far...
peace!
