Linear Planning Mechanism

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Hedgehog.

Y'all, 

It is that horrible time of year when people look at you with big smiles and wide eyes and hands clasped and say, "Spring has sprung!"  I'm not in love with this phrase.  It's misleading.  It makes Spring seem like an overly-eager Jack-in-the-Box, like it bursts onto the scene like Kramer into Jerry's apartment.   In reality, the beginning of Spring looks an awful lot like the end of Winter.  If it weren't for college basketball, I just don't know if I'd make it to April.  (My brackets are shot, if you're wondering.)

But Spring is here, and that means change, and growth, no matter the pace.  In the spirit of such change, the website's been re-tooled.  Also, you'll find an array of activities up on the Linear Planning Mechanism.  I'll happily refresh your memories as individual events draw near.  Do check them out if you get a chance, and let me know if you've got any questions.

Anything more important than new-fangled websites or group activities?  Hard to believe, I know, but we're also starting an ambitious 12-week series on The Imitation of Christ, a 600-year-old book that might very possibly blow your mind all over your face.  It's that good.

Since this book is such a winner, and since we'll be referencing it repeatedly over the next 3 months, I encourage  you to get yourself a copy to bring on Sunday Mornings (starting after Easter).  You can find it at any Barnes or Borders, but I suggest  grabbing your copy here or here.  The $22 copy is not any better than the $0.99 copy (unless the latter smells like herring or something,  What are the odds of that though?  Trout maybe, but herring? I doubt it.)  That's all for now.  See y'all tomorrow morning.
