I’m starting to wonder if these Friday posts are getting a little too serious…anybody care to comment on that? Still working to find a balance of fun finds and food for thought. Maybe I will figure it out one day.
In the past several years this Friday in December also marked my last day of work before winter break…but not this year! UGH. Because Christmas falls on a Sunday, we have to come back next week. I work through Thursday. I know I shouldn’t complain because I still have a longer break than many in the corporate world, but I’ve grown accustomed to two full weeks and three weekends and this 7 weekdays and two weekends seems SO SHORT. I will try not to whine too much.
For Thought:
- Some Evangelicals Question Whether They have Overlooked the Rural Church – a really interesting piece from the Washington Post on the intersection of religion and politics
- Charles Schulz’s Philosophy – really appreciated these thoughts from Layla Palmer – such a good reminder when we start thinking about our (lack of) accomplishments.
For Fun:
- I’ve been playing Starbucks for Life multiple times a day this week. I
needwant to win, though living 35.8 miles from the nearest Starbucks would present an interesting challenge in actually claiming my daily prize. I’m willing to have that burden in my life. - Mediterranean Pull-Apart Bread – I will probably be making this on Saturday afternoon and calling it lunch…and dinner.
One last thought – anybody have a good idea for a small Christmas gift that I could give about 80 people? It needs to be CHEAP and not too labor intensive.
