The reads are gonna be short this week. Everyone is on vacation - heck I'm about to go on vacation - and let's get real, we're all tired and just want to binge watch some TV and zone out for a bit. Am I projecting? I might be projecting...

Have a big idea percolating, but no time to make it happen? Follow the 90-90-1 rule. 

Be the bitch. 

Take some time to read this one and the associated links...you'll want to noodle on it and really let it set in. What does it mean to be a member of (a community) (and organization) (anything)?

This is a feel good story: GA football player, Malcom Mitchell, joins a book club with some very nice ladies. 

Why do people live together before marriage? Usually for practical reasons, but they never actually discuss the relationship/love reasons! A serious case can be made for having deliberate conversations (no matter how hard they may be).

What happens when Evangelical, virgin men get married? Somewhat predictably, they grapple with sexuality just as much after marriage as they did before. 

"When I’m passed-out drunk on the beach, half buried in sand and getting a nasty sunburn because I forgot to reapply expensive sunblock, these are the sorts of books I want covering my face." Picking a great summer read. 

There we go, short and sweet this week! I think this is the perfect song for a lazy summer night, and never mind that you won't understand a word of it if you don't speak Spanish...just enjoy it!
