  • Spotify included a 3 minute AI podcast on my Wrapped. It is like I asked two strangers to comment on my music taste and they just BS’d their way through it and refused to be truthful. I did learn that the artist behind Blue Lake makes all of his instruments.

  • The new buy a sweater and get a giant rabbit promotion. I am down.

  • A prayer for Election Day and everyday.

  • The image on this wrapper represents the only Peanut M&M found in this package.

  • Romans Verse A Day

    Romans 1:5: “Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.”

    This verse needs a glossary of terms. Grace - God’s action to do what we can’t. Apostle - one sent off. Gentiles - non Jews. Obedience - do what Jesus says to do. Faith - Confidence based on reality*.

  • Romans Verse A Day

    Romans 1:4 “who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.”

    We can declare Jesus is Lord by his resurrection from the dead and by his holiness, or set apartness. Paul wants the reader to know in whose name he is writing this letter.

  • A.J. Jacobs’ delightful guide to avoid misinformation. Part One.

  • It is worth booking a flight with Southwest just for these snacks. Trust me. They are excellent.

  • May the latter increase and the former decrease.

  • 7-Elevens are consistently subpar to terrible. I am skeptical that even the capable Japanese can make a difference.

  • Wow. Kathleen Edwards singing Hard On Everyone

  • Great player, great Ranger, the full package, so tough, one of a kind. Congrats Adrian Beltre!

  • When big events happen, I am glad there are still print newspapers.

  • Discipline of Silence

    For at least 10 minutes a day for the next week I am going to practice silence in my life. On the Mount of Transfiguration, God tells the three disciples present that they need to listen to his son - Jesus. We all want to know the best way to respond to Jesus and we think this response will involve dynamic action and big gestures. But, what if our first and most appropriate response to Jesus is to simply listen to him. God commanded us to. I need to listen to Jesus this week. It will require intentionality of time, stillness, and the absence of noise.

  • Paul Verse of the Day: Romans 1:2

    Romans 1:2 “the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures” - The gospel of Jesus has a heritage and an origin story.
