[Magdalen] The Good Book

[Jay Weigel]

I'm a couple of chapters in, and loving it. I had to stop today because I
have two chapters of a book to read for Sunday School (yes, I'm making the
effort to get up and go this year!). We're discussing Barbara  Brown
Taylor's An Altar in the World. Pretty cool for a Lutheran Sunday School
class. I missed last Sunday because of the rock club show so I'm already
behind.
