This last week has gone by in a blur.  That’s to be expected, of course, at the end of a quarter or semester.  The week has been packed with classes and grading and meetings and trying to wrap things up nicely so as to keep my mind off of work for a few days.  I think (hope) that I’ve done a good job preparing for the next two weeks in that way.

But, as you can tell from the lack of posts over this last week, there’s not been a lot of creativity in the day-to-day.  I have been enjoying working my way through O’Donavan’s The Disappearance of Ethics.  And thanks to a random comment from the Franciscan Friars, I’ve finally gotten around to reading Nouwen’s The Return of the Prodigal Son.  I finished the story of Joseph in Genesis (and now onto Moses and the Exodus in line with Easter), which has also been encouraging.  So quality input, just not much, if any, output.

I did listen to one interview while grading this past week that I think is worth sharing.  I’ve mentioned Andrew Root before on the site.  He’s quite the prolific writer, so it’s always good to find succinct accounts of his thinking.  Here’s an interview with “Ryan and Brian’s Bible Bistro” that brought out some of the key themes of Root’s work.  Once again, I don’t agree with it all, but there are some things that I think Root is seriously getting right.

I’m hoping to be a little more prolific myself not that the meetings are over and the grades are in.  I’m a little behind on my Shattering of Loneliness reflections.  There are two weeks to go before Easter, which lines up nicely with our break this year.  Hoping that helps me make the most of things, too.
