Just arrived to the office. Coffee is brewing. I saw the most beautiful bluebonnets all along the side of the road as I drove in this morning. They are just bursting with color. The blue is so striking and beautiful. It is my favorite color. I love the way it contrasts with yellow, but I digress.
The dramatic story with Eric Volz took a turn for the worst. I discovered the recent (possibly not the latest -- see this site for more up-to-date info) when waking up to the NBC News this morning. He was found guilty and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Yikes! He's innocent and has several witnesses that can back him up, yet he confronted the police and pushed them to solve the murder of his ex-girlfriend and then became the chief suspect and thrown in jail. We've covered a little bit of this story on this site a few times. Here is a capsulated story on video about this posted on YouTube.
Good things come to those that wait.
I received some wonderful packages in the mail this morning. One was the new album by Wavorly, which I've been really impressed with. With their album was included a book from CS Lewis' "trilogy" of great philosophical books -- The Great Divorce (sitting alongside Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters as the first three books a new believer or newcomer to Lewis' writings should read, save for The Chronicles of Narnia.). I'm so glad to finally get my hands on a copy. It's been on an elusive list of must-read's for me for many, many years. Maybe now I'll get started (and comment on it in this blog).
I also got a package from the International Bible Society, with uncorrected proofs of The Books of the Bible (TNIV), which is written without chapter and verse separations so it can be read the way it was originally written. This should be cool to check out.
Another most excellent arrival was the new Jeff Deyo album and EPK (electronic press kit), which was all loaded onto a jump drive. This might be an advance look at many future promo releases. The postage on this little package was only 63 cents -- a far cry from the usual heavy jewel case, folder, etc.
Nice.
