On a day like today. . .

On a day like today I'd much rather be hiking at Emma Lake (see first picture) or out on the boat on Desolation Sound (see second picture) near my hometown than sitting at my computer in my hot room in the suburbs, inland from the ocean, writing a review paper on a book with the subtitle "Why I am a missional + evangelical + post/protestant + liberal/conservative + mystical/poetic + biblical + charismatic/contemplative + fundamentalist/calvinist + anabaptist/anglican + methodist + catholic + green + incarnational + depressed-yet-hopeful + emergent +unfinished Christian."
