I had a lovely lazy day today...the way we're supposed to (but I often struggle to) spend our Sabbath time. I stayed in my PJs until an hour that I will not publicly admit to. Then my dear friend Natalia came over and we went to Starbucks to sit and talk and people watch. I saw a good 1/3 of Malibu Pres (okay, I'm exaggerating...but I certainly will never be without friends...I just need to go to Starbucks)
We sauntered over to Albertson's and then to the nail place to get our mani/pedi...and then off to dinner later at the Counter in Westlake. I had the most fantastic veggie burger I think I've ever had in my life (and I've had several)
It's amazing what good rest can do for perspective and peace. I'm settling in very well here in Calabasas. The pace is just right. I love the constant views of rolling hills and oak trees. It's funny because I remember driving past this place on my way to Santa Barbara and I always thought it was such an enchanting part of the drive up the 101. What a treat to call this "home".
I'm reading Romans right now...just the first read...and then I plan to get a study guide or something to take it deeper. I feel really enriched by reading the Bible. I highly recommend it. Life is so shifty and the news around us so daunting...it's good to have something deep to sink your mind and heart into.
On a much lighter note, I really enjoyed watching this by some of my friends at Bel Air Pres: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs8Ts1Y3UpM
As far as books go...I'm reading a few. A Severe Mercy is the one I'm reading the most right now...but I've also picked up a copy of Rob Bell's "Jesus Wants to Save Christians".
Life to the Full will hopefully launch June 15th (that is if I can meet all my deadlines on time)
and I'm getting really excited about it and ready to see it all come together. I am looking very forward to focusing more on the marketing/sharing end than the technical part.
