We've got a name, we've got a date

MackinleyUpdate as of Monday:  Heather is now going in for a scheduled c-section at 7 am.  This means we will be at the hospital at 5 am.  Which means I might sleep through the whole thing.  Seriously, we are happy it is moved.  This means Heather doesn't have to "fast" all day.



Mackinley Kaelyn will be delivered this Wednesday, August 2 @ 5 pm via c-section.  Incidentally this is Heather and my 9th wedding anniversary.  Very cool.  We'll be sure to keep you posted with some pics later in the week.  In the meantime, we are very excited--easy for me to say, I just get to stand there and look cool in my scrubs, while Heather does everything.

Latest Reading

SuburbSummer reading suggestion for those of you  who might be looking for something that is not difficult to read, but is also insightful..."Death By Suburb."  I am almost finished, but wanted to offer a couple quick thoughts.  I believe the issues raised in this book need to be voiced in our suburban, evangelical culture.  I think we all sense them, but it is good to have them articulated with honesty and vulnerability.  Second, and perhaps most importantly, the author does not "rail" against the 'burbs, but rather points out the aspects of suburban culture that he has to battle against in order to stay alive spiritually.  I anticipated the book being more anti-suburb, and I have been pleasantly surprised to find that the author's desire is not to make one feel guilty about their suburban life (He's a suburbanite, in Wheaton, IL).  The book is not always easy to read, as it points out many of the things we don't want to confront and deal with in our context.  Yet, this is precisely why I would recommend it.  We (myself most definitely included) need to see the unique "dangers" of suburban living.  If you're wondering what those unique dangers are, you'll have to read the book or check out http://www.deathbysuburb.com



That's all for now.
