Book Review: Serve God, Save the Planet

Real short book review:

I liked this book, although there was not really any "ah ha" moments, I found myself nodding emphatically the entire way through. I suppose if I was more conservative, I would have found the biblical support for "creation care" a bit more startling. Sorry I digress. What I value most is this book's practicality. The author and his family practices the life style that he writes about. He seems to often to write out of personal experience and always has many practical ideas of what "action" looks like.

Square Foot Garden Project

This spring I attempted to plant things, loosely using the "square foot garden" method. I owe much to jared, for building the boxes and giving me fill and compost, and eldon for letting me try this on his property. So far the project is going pretty brilliantly, aside from my carrots not coming up and something seems to be eating my pea plants. Plot One - The empty square is where my carrots should have been. Plot Two - I am sort of concerned that this plot might be a little crowded, but nothing has died yet. Plot Three - This plot mainly produces loads of radishes right now.

My only fear is that I may be becoming domesticated. ha ha.

trip snippets

• I'm returned. Overall it was a splendid trip.
• I wasn't looking for clarity, but I think it found me.
• I also have a acquired an comical belief in karma.
• My machine now needs new parts, I had spokes the kept on snapping and handle bar wrap that wouldn't stay in place.
• I now know dill pickles are a bad breakfast food and cereal transcends the breakfast meal.
• I tasted the feeling of days bleeding together.
• Warm walmart water given by a guy in a car with sharpie drawings all over the dash, parted with a, "f-cking a gentlemen"...restored my hope in folks and partially cars.
• Dreams were common place, now if I could just remember them.
• Oh and parking garages hate me.
• I know this isn't my last trip.

Fixie Tourage

Life ticks by and recently I've grown very restless. The usual seems to be sucking the life out of my soul...I'm ready for a change. My life seems like an huge intersection right now...I'm a planner without plans. Taking a week off for some nomadic fixie tourage...seems like a good start. So tomorrow I drive to DC, with my bike and shit. My plans are to join up with art, for the DC to Richmond VA leg of his three week journey. I plan to be back in a week.

So this time I will fall in love with the road and the rhythm, sure answers are nice but a beating heart is always better.

This is a picture of my machine. Not much to look at, but she is the shit, to ride.
