I’ve been hunting for a typewriter and, after a trip to Detroit later, I might have 4 by the end of the day. Oops! 😅

“It’s all going to burn, anyways.” Nope! But it will be laid bare and purified, as gold through fire. 2 Peter 3:10 actually encourages faithful stewardship of the earth, because the deeds done on earth matter. #DailyOffice #Advent

Quote: “The picture is indeed that of stripping off everything that stands between the eye of God and the earth. When the sky and the heavenly bodies are gone, “the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” And that is the goal: to expose all that has gone on and is going on on the earth so that all those things that human beings thought that they were getting away with or thought that that God did not see are suddenly exposed to his unblinking eye. Probably our author believes that this process will do damage to the earth and its structures, but the point is the uncovering and exposing and thus the purifying of the earth.”&10;&10;Peter H. Davids, The Letters of 2 Peter and Jude, The Pillar New Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., 2006), 286–287.

“Cows of Bashan” who hate the poor. I can only imagine what Amos would say to us today! #DailyOffice #Advent ⚓️

Our church uses a translation of the Nicene Creed that goes with “Almighty maker” instead of “Almighty, maker.” And I’ve never seen that before. Because it’s wrong/typo, right?

What’s the best, briefest dismantling of Rapture theology you’ve ever heard/read?

I need a typewriter geek to tell me if this Remington Quiet Riter Eleven is a good deal for $40-50! www.facebook.com/share/1DF…

What if we all logged-off and wrote letters instead?

I’m looking for a functional manual typewriter that I could use to write letters to friends. Ideally under $100. Any suggestions?

On the hunt for something to make my old 1940s Craftsman 113 8-inch Table Saw a bit safer to use. I know I can find some old guard assemblies on EBay but I’m wondering if there are other options? Etsy, aftermarket, DIY. Thoughts?

Y’all I think I might be running out of tools to ask for! …Except for these 😁 www.amazon.com/hz/wishli…

I’ve got mixed feelings about Hillsong, but “Death could not hold you. The veil tore before you. You silence the boast of Sin and Grave” is such a great line. (From “What a Beautiful Name”)

Anyone else smoking the turkey tomorrow? I’ve got a 13lb bird, brined and spatchcocked, that I’ll be smoking in my new Oklahoma Joe’s Bronco smoker! Here’s hoping I get the timing right!

Hey fellow Barth people: Is the “I was saved at 3 o’clock on a Friday afternoon on a hill outside Jerusalem” quote legit? Haven’t been able to track down a firm source.

OK, thanks to some help from the internet on how to use Affinity, I think I like this new JPS logo a lot!

I’m trying to get my “JPS” symbol to be a transparent cutout from the hexagon. Can anyone explain how I’m supposed to do this in Affinity? Can’t get “subtract shape” to work right. #affinity #photoshop #graphicdesign

My “Rev. Dev.” logo and brand helped me pivot from theology/church to a career in tech, but I think I’d like to gravitate back to just my name and initials for “branding.” Here’s my latest attempt at a JPS logo. Thoughts?

How you treat immigrants and refugees is how you treat Jesus Christ.

Dug my undergraduate thesis on God’s unity, atonement, and Church unity back up. I’d write it much more concisely now, but I still stand by it. Read “Reconciliation and the Lack Thereof”: joshuapsteele.com/blog/reco…

Where’s a good place to get some personalized stationery?

What’s your “desert island (English) Bible”? What’s the 1 Bible you’d take with you to church (or the island lol)? I think mine’s the leather RSV New Oxford Annotated Bible. Wish I could take the content of the New Interpreter’s Study Bible and put it in a slightly smaller leather package. ⚓️🕯️
