<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u2014 1 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n My next post is going to be a contribution to the Patheos Book Club for Reborn on the 4th of July<\/em><\/a>, a memoir by a soldier turned\u00a0conscientious\u00a0objector. \u00a0It\u2019s been delayed a little, since I had a couple topics I wanted to cover, so instead of one post, you\u2019re going to get enough to take us at least through Sunday. \u00a0In the meantime, you might want to review some of the things I\u2019ve written on radical forgiveness<\/a>, since I\u2019m going to refer back to those posts. \u00a0(I think they also satisfy some of the requests for links to posts that made my friends think I was always a Catholic at heart).<\/p>\n <\/a>\u2014 2 \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n I ended up quite enjoying the new Spiderman movie. \u00a0I went with a group of friends, but, since we were going to a show in the late evening, I had time for yoga class beforehand. \u00a0To be more specific, I had time for extremely-apropros antigravity<\/em> yoga.<\/p>\n But seriously, the new movie was very funny, and Emma Stone is a fabulous, proactive, and concussion-safety aware Gwen Stacy, so I was utterly delighted. \u00a0Also delightful: this Spiderman humor video (in which someone has appropriate priorities).<\/p>\n<\/a>
