I’m finishing up an article today about Compassion Bloggers‘ first outing together in Uganda. It’s for Collide. Heard of it? Me neither until Carlos, Anne and Randy told me about it in Africa. Now I’m hooked. It’s like WIRED without the atheism. The collision of geeky and Jesus – theological conundrums ensue. Fun.
Then I have an interview this afternoon with Worship Leader Magazine about Compassion Bloggers and I don’t know what else. I’ve written devotions for Worship Leader Magazine for – I don’t know – over a year now. It’s a publication for – duh – worship leaders that pushes the definition of “worship” beyond music to responding to God with our whole selves – with an emphasis on service. They’ve recently learned well the lessons I’ve written out for The Establishment and responded to the honesty of the blogosphere with aplomb and grace. I’m sure we’ll talk about that learning experience today as well.
Whatcha reading?

I have heard of Collide! Two of my friends write regularly (Mark Steele and Jeff Huston). And in fact, I just started reading Mark’s latest book entitled Half Life/Die Already, which technically hit stands yesterday…though I got mine before.
I also read this little mag known as Relevant, both online and hard copy. And my blogroll (you included, sir).

The Vampire Lestat, actually. Anne Rice
I was trying Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf, but it was torturously boring, not to mention tortUously syntaxed.

Trouble the Water by Nicole Seitz. Pretty good little book, love the dialect.

Euphrony,
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite movies. I’ve never braved the pages of the novel.
Most of my reading currently is blogs or school books with my kiddo.
I recently read The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip. I learned more about electricity than I ever thought I could. Very fun.
euphrony says:
Shaun, I tried to reply to your question here, but it wouldn’t let me. Too many links, I guess. So, I posted a response on my blog – read it here.
Sarah Chia, The Count of Monte Cristo is actually a very easy read. Give it a shot and I bet you’ll like it.
Grovesfan says:
Other than Shlog, and a few other blogs I MUST read daily to keep myself sane, I just started reading “Jesus Without Religion” by Rick James. So far, excellent read. I love his sarcastic sense of humor and I am one of the few that do possess the gift of interpretation.

yeah that was an interesting discussion on worship leader magazine.
I think it is really cool that the consumer and the company arent too separate any more.
It sometimes can be blatantly honest but like the post you wrote sometimes it can clue you in to a new direction or vision.
I am reading a ton of blogs and in the book world pop goes the church i think is next.
by the way collide is a fantastic relevant read

I just finished two books, Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife, and Darcy and Elizabeth, both by Linda Berdoll. (If you can’t tell, I’m a major Pride and Prejudice fan)
I’m in the middle of reading The Hobbit, but I already know what happens next. That’s what you get for reading the last three books before the prelude.
Oh, and Shaun, the people from Plateville Wisconsin are NOT frozen or mild. I have video proof. (Thanks to the people I assosiate myself with! ;P)
