This is one of those spring days where it’s impossible to be in a bad mood. Beautiful DC day. And I didn’t have any appointments today so I’ve got my sandals, t-shirt, camouflaged cargo shorts, and backwards baseball cap going. That’s how I roll.

Spent most of the morning on the rooftop of Ebenezers. It’s my watchtower. Love praying up there. And I’m starting to read a bunch of books now that I’m coming out of a writing season.

For what it’s worth, here’s what I’m reading right now:

Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely
The Rule of Saint Benedict
Walking with God by John Eldredge
The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
The Holy Longing by Ronald Rolheiser
Eye and Brain by Richard Gregory

I’m reading all of them for very different reasons. My love of neurology and psychology is the reason I’m reading Eye and Brain. Sight is such an amazing miracle! I’m reading The Rule of Saint Benedict to stretch my thinking about personal discipline. And I was really inspired by The Last Lecture video so I decided to pick up the book.
