Home again...

I am home... I did a women's retreat this weekend for Cibolo Creek, and it was so fun. What a fun group of women! I love that they are so down-to-earth and real. It makes for an easy time for me as the worship leader. And, as always, the speaker, Debbie Dittrich, was amazing. I love her and love being able to work with her. This is our third retreat together, and I hope we get to do many more. She is so inspiring.

I am currently reading (among the 14 others) a book called "Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport." I am -- have always been -- fascinated and attracted to Reformation theology, and yet parts of Calvinism seem so harsh (on the surface, mainly). But I tend to snatch up any books I can find on the subject, and this one just came in a couple of weeks ago. It's sort of like "Mere Christianity" for Calvinists. Mouw, the author, explores how Calvinism can be relevant in today's society -- say, in the Las Vegas airport in a conversation with a stranger -- when most of its tenets were written out centuries ago. I'm only a couple chapters in, so I'll post my thoughts as I progress.

I am so ADD when it comes to books. My problem is that there are too many I want to read. I am voracious with them, and I came home from Dallas with a list of "must-reads" that I also have waiting for me.

It's raining. It's cold! Happy times. Fall is here. I heard it may freeze this weekend (!).... what is that about?

Tomorrow is election day. I wil not obsess. I will trust in God. He is in control.
