Kris and I had our customary three walks, spending half of our time looking out into the ocean and the other half gawking at the things folks do on the beach — like parasailing and skiing and other reckless things.

\nRead the bulk of CE Evans, The Kingdom is Always but Coming: A Life of Walter Rauschenbusch<\/em>. I’ll be working on Rauschenbusch some more, so I’ll postpone any comments for now. Kris finished her book; Mark is about done with Blue Like Jazz<\/em> and Laura can’t put her novel by Dan Brown down, and Luke is reading Emerging Churches <\/em>by Gibbs and Bolger while Annika is reading an engrossing book by Francine Grey.
