Happy New Year to you and Ross!! Sorry all your New Years plans fell through but it sounds as if you had a nice day/evening for the two of you planned. We had a wonderful day...just the two of us enjoying being together and attending to our relationship. We watched "Broken Trail", a Robert Duval western movie, age shrimp and drank Champaigne We never intended to stay up until 12:00 but before we knew it we saw fireworks being shot off behind our house from the little leage field and it was 2007. I feel a little like I used to feel on every birthday you had...sad to lose the wonderful specialiness of the year past and looking forward to the one coming. You inspire me to pick up the clothes in MY bedroom.It is time to do it yet again. One of life's repetitive jobs if one lives in a hurry and lacks sufficient compulsive habits of hanging and putting away as one goes along. Have you read any of Ann Rice's books recently? The last one I read-with great enjoyment- was Memnoch, the Devil. I thought it had more substance than her other books and I remember thinking at the time, "This woman is religious". When I saw "Christ is Lord" in paperback I bought it out of curiosity. She gives an interesting summary of her faith pilgrimage in the back of the book including a kind of conversion experience in the late 1990's and a rededication of her writing in 2002. I am curious about whether or not you have followed her and, perhaps, already knew this about her and her writing.
I am also reading A Generous Orthodoxy by Brian McLaren. I think you would really really like it alot. I find it delightful company for this rainey first day of 2007. Happy New Year. I am glad you are in my life.
