praying with the celts

It's my day off...time for a little selfcare as they say. So, I shall venture out into the world to meet with some folk to talk about ministry and life in Chicago. I think that's what we're talking about. We'll see what happens! I'll spend some time playing in the old neighborhood and then come home to spend the rest of the day with my wife. She has the day off...the first day off in quite some time. The theater has been keeping her very busy.

In related news, I am starting an online course this week in Celtic Spirituality. The Seminary of the Southwest has some interesting online options and this one appealed to me. I'll pick up a couple CEU's but more importantly, I'll have a community of prayer and study to hang with for a little while. With all of the gigs that One of the Girls have been lining up, I have had the Celts on my mind. I've been reacquainting myself with some of the Northumbria Community and Iona liturgies as well. You will likely see more of this material here for the next several weeks.

So, the band is playing at the Irish American Heritage Center this Saturday evening. Jeanne T. Arrigo will open the evening at 9:00pm. The Girls will follow and play until the kick us out. I'm really excited to be playing at the IAHC again. Bring on the Irish!
