My day started with a good and challenging theological conversation with my friend Chris at about midnight last night and today has ended with another theological conversation with another Chris. It is good to have these discussions with people you agree with and don’t agree totally. It has reminded me that I don’t know everything, and that the answers are not tied up in neat little packages for my consumption. And the journey continues…

Here was the rest of my day:

Had coffee with Paul Lewis this morning. Always interesting, inspiring and challenging to talk with him. I really like the guy to say the least. You should check out the Wounded Bookshop off of Caroline St., get a cup of coffee, read a book, enjoy the atmosphere of life and say hi to Paul for me.

Next I drove down to the Montpelier Wine festival in which my boss, Michael, had a tent rented for the company employees friends and vendors. We had a fun time, got to hang out with people outside of work, which is a really good change…it makes those relationships more communal and real. I bought a couple of bottles of wine which I intend to share communally with a few more friends.

On the way to the fest, I drove through rural VA attempting to get a good enough signal on my Treo to catch up with a few friends. I chatted with Jon, a college roommate and fellow artist. Had a great conversation until the technologically sparse, rolling country side dropped my call and my signal. So, it was back to quiet driving, sans my iPod (that is for another blog post).

All the while Jamie is in Maryland enjoying her wedding shower and spending some much needed time with friends. I missed her today Often times you just want to experience the good things in life with the person you love.
