My energy finally started to come back Thursday and I've done a couple of tune-up runs and my lungs are clear so I'll give the marathon a go. Should be OK. I still have a nasty deep dry painful nighttime cough, but today's the first day my throat hasn't hurt.
Here are some of the books I've been reading in the past few weeks:
- Jesus and the Victory of God, by NT Wright (scholarship on the historical Jesus)
- Full Dark House, Christopher Fowler (mystery, good but not great)
- Refiner's Fire, Mark Helperin (long, outstanding novel!)
- Blue Latitudes, Tony Horwitz (re: Captain Cook)
- The History of Christian Thought, Jonathan Hill (basic but I need the review)
- Sources of the Self, Charles Taylor (great book by a great philosopher, very deep)
- Spiritual Formation as if the Church Mattered, James Wilhoit (excellent and comprehensive guide to spiritual growth)
- The Unnecessary Pastor, Eugene Peterson & Martha Dawn (various essays on spiritual leadership)

Here's a short demo that I put together:

Swallow a blue tooth? I'd be willing to try it at this point, but:
A: I don't know where to find one- will a gold tooth do?
B: I've been told that 100% of the people who have done this have come down with cancer.
Today my voice is partially back, on a sort of random basis. Before I couldn't talk, and knew it. Now I don't know if sound will or won't come out until I attempt it.
I gotta tell ya, Scotte, you should just be very thankful that you don't have MY problems!
I've been reading A Soldier of the Great War by Helperin and love his writing...I'll have to look for Refiner's Fire by him..thanks for the recommendation!
My favorite Helprin book is Freddy and Fredericka: hilarious and stimulating.
