Good things

I just received Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl, by ND Wilson, in the mail. Woot! This is what is written in the Preface:

Here’s how it happened: Philosophers of various sizes and shapes and flavors and ages crowded into the saloon of my skull and began throwing elbows to make some space. Poets and preachers piled in with them. John Donne said some zippy things about Kant, and the ancients wouldn’t stop snickering at the moderns. On top of that, Gilbert Keith Chesterton (that fabulously large Catholic writer) overheard someone making fun of Milton (it didn’t matter that the insults were all true). 

Doesn't that sound grand?! I love a bit of John Donne, Chesterton and Milton, with some theologians and philosophers thrown in.

Tonight I am going to the next Centre for Christian Living lecture on 'Love One Another! - 'Was Jesus too much of an idealist? and having dinner with a girl I don't yet know very well from church beforehand.

I am looking forward to all of the above.
