I got two Vampire Weekend (Vampire Weekend and Contra) albums this weekend, so good, sort of Paul Simon-y. Really fun. I have been listening to both albums all weekend and really enjoying the last song on Vampire Weekend “The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance.” Richard …

So excited for Trunk Or Treat! There were tons of Trick or Treaters walking down Grand Avenue yesterday while I was running errands. I started my Halloween Celebrating a little early this year.
Some of you know that I had a short term gig as an English Teacher for September and October. Friday was my last day, and since we were teaching the imperative form, I found an eHow article on how to carve a Jack O’Lantern.

We have a call as the people of God to care for the stranger and the immigrant. What I found though that in teaching the class, I was welcomed, cared for and encouraged. Rather than the immigrants and the strangers being taken care of. I found a group of warm hearted men and women who made me laugh, prayed for me, and encouraged me. Sure I taught them some grammar, some American culture. But I think that I was blessed disproportionately.
My favorite favorite song of the year. And yes, you, yes, you look so much better when you SMILE.
I don’t have a long post today for Music Monday, just one line from the song by Mumford and Sons. “If I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I would have won.” It’s powerful, what do you think it means?
