The life of Jared (3/1)

The week that was:

Fairly uneventful.  Mostly my week looks like this.  I work up until 1 and then head home and Holly goes to her rotation site.  One of us is always at home right now with Karis.  It is amazing how fast time flies when I'm taking care of Karis.  Especially since she is spoiled and loves to be held.  It's almost impossible for me to get any reading done.

We did have some friends over on Saturday night.  That was a good release for Holly and I to have other adults to hang out with, plus they were loving on Karis the whole time.

The week that is:

Not much here again.  Karis has a Dr.'s appointment to get a shot.  Yuck.  I need to keep pace on preparing for my class.  Our last session is on the 14th.  I really need to get on my taxes.  I keep putting that off, but I know that's one of those things that will sneak up on you if you let it.

What I'm reading:

Two main things:  "Surprised by Hope" by NT Wright.  I am loving this book and the call that he is making to the church.  "Angry Conversations with God" by Susan Isaacs.  This is a book that I got a prerelease copy in order to write up a review when it is released.  I am having fun with this one and you should really pick up a copy when it comes out in a couple of weeks.  I'll do a formal write up then.

What I'm listening to:

Right now, the new U2 album that came out today.  First impression is that it's pretty good.  Kind of chill, but still solid.  I also thinking about picking up an album that Don Miller recommended from a group called The Alternate Routes.

What I'm keeping an eye on:

Carolina has two big games this week.  They can wrap up the ACC regular season title with a win on Wednesday of Va Tech.  Of course I'd also love for them to pound Duke.  I'm a little concerned about their defense when it comes tourney time, but hopefully things will click here in the last week.

We are also now in the Lenten season.  I will be doing a devotional blog on my church's website for our youth.  Feel free to check it out and leave some comments.
