This week...- Travis spent some time reading A Million Miles in a Thousand Years (D Miller);
- Charissa finished Outliers (M Gladwell)* and began The Death of Adam (M Robinson)**;
- Rob Bell was blown away by Art and Physics (L Shlain) and also read Why Most Things Fail ...And how to avoid it (P Ormerod);
- and I kept plugging away at Covenant of Peace: The Missing Peace in New Testament Theology and Ethics (W Swartley) for my 30 hours of reading in Peace Colloquium.

Finished a "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years". Excellent book. I think his best.
He was great live as well. Brilliant actually. But, when he signed my book I chose to talk about bikes and Tom Ritchey and forgot to tell him that Shane said "hi". Oh well.
Also, I really struggled with carrying all five books in with me to have him sign or just let him sign the newest one. I chose the one. Regret followed. Oh well.
Charissa shares this comment on the Death of Adam (M. Robinson):
Following her paragraph on God's desire for us to care for the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the poor, Marilynne Robinson says this:
"I have heard pious people say, Well, you can't live by Jesus' teachings in this complex modern world. Fine, but then they might as well call themselves the Manichean Right or the Zoroastrian Right and not live by _those_ teachings."
