summer's end

great moment in nerdom: "The church needs to be like the Jedi Order" - Jon, in response to a conversation about the book "The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical"

So as I do with most things I don't fully understand, I consult Wikipedia. As Michael from The Office says, "Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.” Well, according to the reliable Wiki, Labor Day is a day of rest for the working man and symbolizes the end of summer. I'm not sure if that first part is true for everyone (especially my dear friends working in higher education) but thankfully it was true for me.

After a very long Friday at the bank, a three-day weekend was certainly welcomed by all. Jon and I made a B line for the Jersey shore to enjoy what was left of our summer since both of our schedules will soon accelerate. We finally saw Superbad (definitely not one for the kids), and hit up Borders for some new books. In the typical English-major fashion, I couldn't resist my affinity for the classics so I purchased an attractive copy of Wuthering Heights. Currently, I'm reading the book mentioned in the above quote, and so far I'm tearing through it. Shane Claiborne is a captivating communicator with a contagious heart for true discipleship; please do yourself a favor and read "The Irresistible Revolution" when you get the chance.

Although lazier days have come to an end, I'm anxious for the full swing of fall. Sometimes I think I'm crazy for signing up for more school and all the work that comes with it, but I secretly love being a student. Ok, not so secretly. Now that I'm a student again, I promise I'll look to more reliable sources than Wikipedia for information ;)
