Sitting…at the kitchen table.

Drinking…coffee with a little half&half. The current bag of beans is Red Diamond.

Thinking…about what I need to do to transition smoothly from Christmas vacation mode back into school mode.

Thankful…for a very quiet morning to read, pray, and think about the day ahead.

Reading…a couple of books on prayer, a short one on philosophy, and one by John Piper. It’s been a few years since I’ve read Piper, and I am remembering why he is one of my favorites. Everyday Prayers by Scotty Smith was a free download the other day, and I HIGHLY commend it to you.

Updating…my Tumblr. I began it a couple of years ago with the intention of sharing silly, interesting items I found on the Internet, but that quickly became a bore. I’ve decided to revive it with quotes from whatever I happen to be reading. If you are a twitter or facebook follower, then you will have already seen these updates. I am sure this will be more edifying than Internet memes. The link is at the bottom of this page (under Take Up & Read) if you want to see previous posts.

Loving…Les Miserables. The book is superior, by far. I read it in 2011, then crammed one more reading in between October and Christmas before seeing the film Christmas Day. I’ve been a fan of the musical since college, so it follows that I would love this movie. This adaptation may be my favorite…I think. I could go on explaining why, but I’ll save it for a separate post. 😉

Watching…Passion 2013 live stream. It’s a great way to start the year.

Hoping…y’all have a blessed Wednesday!
