Went to Barnes and Noble today.. looking for nothing and finding far too much. I spent about four hours perusing books, deciding to buy one book a journal and pilates cards. I bought this awesome book called Mexican Lives that is sort of a documentary like book recording interviews of Mexicans since the sixties just talking about their everyday lives, views, and hopes from all different areas and regions. I got sucked in to that book for a good hour and decided it would be a good train book. So at this point I am in the midst of:
Everything Must Change by Brian McLaren
Irresistable Revolution by Shaine Claiborne
Serve God, Save the Planet by J. Mathew Sleeth, MD
Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath
Mexican Lives by Judith Adler Hellman
I finished Irresistable Revolution over the Texas trip and the wedding so I could give it to my sister. Thought she would like it since she is out in Phillie where most of it was happening anyway. Turns out The Well has been working in Love park too so they probably have met a lot of the people working with the Simple Way.
So I am reading and packing, trying to relax a bit before heading out on Saturday. I'll be on a train from Detroit to Minneapolis! with plenty of time to finish the books I haven't yet. I just hope I can take my bags on the train.. hahah.. ehem. No but seriously.
