Rocking in the Free World

Yep, it is summer. Air conditioners are blasting us, making us cool people. Some of my flowers are struggling in the heat, but that's what I get for transplanting them to a sunnier location. However, the basil is doing great!

I'm looking for a part-time job waiting tables (got to put a new roof on the house ASAP), getting geared up for the annual family vacation in Charleston, SC, and reading.

Tomorrow's meeting with my boss is cancelled, so I'm spending some afternoon time reading the first four chapters of Calvin's Institutes for our household study group tonight. And I'm wondering, "Is it harder for us to be convinced of our sin because we are enculturated by Christianity? (Flannery O'Connor would say that the South is haunted by Christ.) Why does an empty image of righteousness so easily satisfy us?"

At the moment I've been put on hold by the kind folks at Macaroni Grill. Oh, right. They're not hiring at the moment, it'll probably be another week and a half. Yep. Uh huh. Lovely.
