So the TBM brother came and left and the visit was a bit awkward, but pleasant. Sunday arrived and there were things that just needed to be done. I offered to direct him to church, but he said no he would just do whatever we were doing. So, it’s off to Starbucks and then a bunch of errands involving returns, shopping and selling items at Half Price Book. He didn’t blink at my coffee and didn’t say anything about DH’s wine bottle on the counter top. There was an awkward pause before dinner, where I probably should have offered to let him bless the food, but…
I was dying to ask my brother if he knew about City Creek and what he thought, but I didn’t. I didn’t say the “atheist” word or any other belief word. I did give him several books on CD. Science/fact based books that might nudge his brain just a bit.
The Cannon by Natalie Angier.
Blink by Malcom Gladwell.
Freakanomics by Dubner and Levitt.
Thanks for the good advice.
