Things I've Read Recently

So I'm still working on stuff, which I actually love.  I don't want this semester to end, so I might be drawing it out a little longer than necessary.  I'll have an actual update shortly, but for now here are two things I've read recently that I absolutely love:

Phrases like Worship Service or Service of Worship are tautologies.  To worship God means to serve him.  Basically there are two ways to do it.  One way is to do things for him that he needs to have done--run errands for him, carry messages for him, fight on his side, feed his lambs, and so on.  The other way is to do things for him that you need to do--sing songs for him, create beautiful things for him, give things up for him, tell him what's on your mind and in your heart, in general rejoice in him and make a fool of yourself for him the way lovers have always made fools of themselves for the one they love. -- Frederick Buechner

Anticipate your heaven below, And own that love is heaven. -- Wesley hymn

Right now I'm in the library working on a bibliography for a directed study I'm taking over the summer.  I'd forgotten how much fun getting lost in a library is.  I pity the librarian that has to pick up after me...it's a bit like something exploded in the stacks.  And we're not supposed to reshelve the books ourselves.
