We tried this exercise in my class the other night
as an opening “check-in.” The idea is to
finish the phrase “I could talk about…,” but then not talk about it. So here goes.
I could talk about…
the book I’m reading for work (For
Better, for Worse, for God: Exploring the Holy Mystery of Marriage)
the book I’m reading for school (Models of God: Theology for an Ecological,
Nuclear Age)
the book I want to read for work (Mercy
in the City)
the book I want to read for my internship (History
of the Catholic Church)
the book I read for my internship (Let
Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation)
the book I hope to read on the red-eye tonight (When
Katie Met Cassidy)
But I won’t. And that’s ok.
