Indie coffee shops

We usually spend Sunday mornings at a coffee shop; either the Turtle Bread or the French Meadow. If you're tired of Starbucks, I found a cool little website that maps out all the indie coffee shops nearby; it works in almost any US city.

Theology of Hope

I went to the Mall of America for lunch. It's only a few mintutes from our office and I enjoy spending the hour reading in the Barnes and Noble bookstore. (I forgot that today was a holiday; hordes of people.) I sat in the cafe, reading Moltmann's In the End--The Beginning: The Life of Hope, in which he states that the world is not moving toward an Ultimate Battle between good and evil. I wasn't able to read his final conclusions, but his assertions would require another paradigm shift from me. I'm getting a little tired of all these paradigm shifts. To have the mind of a child again.
