The List

In response to e-mails from yesterday and this morning, here is the personal list I gave yesterday of things that stir up my heart and inspire me to pursue my relationship with Christ with greater intensity. I added a couple...

1. Coffee, early mornings, Bible.
2. Playing sports with my boys.
3. Intelligent depressing music: Sufjan Stevens, Elliot Smith, Bill Mallonee, Buddy and Julie Miller, Radiohead.
4. The writings of certain authors: Frederick Buechner, C.S. Lewis, Leif Enger.
5. Being outside in the fall during the two weeks in Charlotte where the light takes on this certain luminous quality.
6. The act of teaching.

What's your list?
