Snapshots from this week

Three days with my beloved little church, away at a retreat on a college campus

Gambling that there would be air conditioning at said college campus, and losing (a bad bet to lose)

Attending a baptism in the river with my little church, punctuated by local boaters backing their boats into the river as the crowd parted. Rejoicing as about ten people (including a married couple) proclaimed how Christ had saved them

Praying with tears for a dear friend of mine who underwent a life-threatening operation, and thanking God that as I write he is still alive

Failing two out of three editing tests

Three job interviews and a temping position

Dinner at a French restaurant with my poetry mentor and her husband, who are beyond kind, and a waiter who called me madame

Going with my mom to visit my grandmother—three generations of women enjoying a Sunday afternoon chat

Reading in my mother’s beautiful garden

Coffee with a dear girl friend

Finishing Gaudy Night, and looking forward all the more to visiting Oxford this fall

Ah, Sarah. You don't know how badly I wish I could've attended. I'm glad to hear it went so well. A few pictures of you were on the slide show at GCC on Sunday.

Campus placetne, magistra?

Campus . . . hmmm. Well, ecclesia certe placet, et ecclesia in campo erat. Ille campus . . . campus similis PHC non erat. Campus ipse non placebat. :-)

Sed coffeehouse placebat, et flumen pulchrum erat.
