I wonder If there is any image more beautiful Than the embrace of the one Who trains, equips, releases you And when you fail Still embraces you And reminds you that your value Comes from who you are Not what you did. #Euro2020 #Home

10. The Reckless Way of Love: Notes on Following Jesus by Dorothy Day "It is a terrible thought – “we love God as much as the one we love the least.'" Happy reading - please comment your recent must-reads!

8. Babel by R. F. Kuang Provocative, trippy, vocabulary-dense fiction on Oxford, finding home, and the words that make our world. 9. How to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told by Harrison Scott Key Genuinely an insane love story. Comedic, honest, raw, brutal.

4. How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu Trippy apocalyptic sci-fi, if you're into that kind of thing. 5. The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese Some of the most beautiful, moving fiction I've read in a long time. Thanks @tylercstaton.

1. The Second Mountain by David Brooks Book of the year. The best compliment I can give it is that I spent eight months going through it slowly.

If all that happens during my sabbatical is that I deepen in tenderness and wonder, it will be (more than) enough. Thankful to spend October reading through ten years of journals, hiking 300 miles on the coast, remembering not to isolate myself in the questions,

loving my shaved head, poking into the possibility of a few new adventures, reading broadly, seeing the way everything belongs in a true story.

I too give thanks today for my friend and brother Paul and all he was and gave - and pray for all those who still grieve for him.

Is there any worthwhile British academic engagement with Center Church by Tim Keller? I'm particularly intrigued about a conversation on his city model contrasted with the Anglican parish model.

So long, September. (so many stories stretching my heart) The cold crept in this week, seeping into rainy days, crisp nights, grey skies. There is a beauty to the seasons, to the letting go, to the endings.

And in my endings, the kindness of Jesus around every corner; ten days with my nieces and nephew to be reminded of the wild love of children, surprise reunions with international visitors, elegant unexpected transit meals in London,

I'll spend my whole life keeping in step with the Lord, Knowing Him is my great joy. Even when I am weak, I will not fall, His love is holding my hand. Psalm 37:23-24, paraphrased
