Just Random

As you all probably know by now, tomorrow Jana and Kelly are coming down here for the weekend! I am completely excited about that. Tomorrow night we're going swing dancing, then on Saturday we'll head in to DC for the day (and take a stop at the amazingly cool Spy Museum!).

The weather here has been lovely for the past few days. This has put me in a good mood. Another thing that put me in a good mood was that I was able to walk to my Bible study last night! It's the small things in life, you know.

I'm also reading two really good books at the moment. The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom (a book someone recommended to me) and The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer (thanks Joce!). I'll leave you with a quote from each book that I like.

"There is in American society a mad rush to distinguish oneself, and, as soon as something has been accepted as distinguishing, to package it in such a way that everyone can feel included." - The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom

"If we would find God amid all the religious externals, we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity." - The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer
