Scattershooting While Wondering Whatever Happened To Prefab Sprout

It's your weekly dose of McKibben happenings, minutia, news round up and misc. stuff.

• So much to read and so little time to read it. I'm working my way through Mere Churchianity by Mike Spencer, Living Resurrection by Eugen Peterson plus the new Texas Monthly is in, with a major piece on Lonesome Dove. Plus there is a new Dietrich Bonhoeffer bio out that I'm itching to get my hands on, and a leftover birthday book on the list named Life on The Vine. Plus there is paint, pool and work to be done.
• Vanessa has never read nor seen Lonesome Dove. That will need to be remedied soon.
  
• Obama has named Harold Hurtt as the director for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Office of State and Local Coordination. Starting July 6, Hurtt will supervise outreach and communication between ICE, local law enforcement agencies, tribal leaders and representatives from non-governmental organizations. Of course Hurtt is the former Houston police chief who supports Sanctuary Cities.
  
• In other news, the White House announced that Richard Dawkins will be an adviser for Faith-based initiatives, the Counsel for Cleric/Spouse Relations will be headed by Walker Railey, and a Fox was named Security Chief of the Capitol Hen House.
• Got World Cup Fever?!?!?! Me either.
• This is too close to the truth to be funny...

• Note to current and future military officers: Reporter from Rolling Stone aren't on your side. Ever. Unless you are asked to give your opinion on the new Nickleback album, just offer your name, rank and serial number.
• The days are getting better, but thanks for your continued prayers.
• More to come this week...
