“Wake Up, Dead Man,” the latest “Knives Out” movie, was fantastic. Highly recommend. Much more gospel in it than a normal whodunnit.
Normally, I’m not one for loud noises. But, when you get to “Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!” in “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” it should shake your church building. Throw the kitchen sink at that stanza and line. Choir, organ, piano, guitar, whatever you’ve got. 🕯️⛪️🎄
Still working through “Against the Machine” by Kingsnorth. Wasn’t ready for his one-sided attacks on a liberal “culture of inversion” in his “Kill All the Heroes” chapter. (He complains about the new Star Wars movies? lol, what?) Does he ever, idk, address the real rise of fascism on the right?
Helped lead a small local caroling expedition at our church tonight and we got rejected or ignored by the first 3 houses. lol. I wonder how caroling response rates have changed over the decades.
Looking for cozy recommendations this holiday season. Could be anything. What’s good/cozy these days?

My new typewriter babies. All FB Marketplace finds. Time to clean ‘em up a bit and make them sing! Smith Corona Silent manual. Smith Corona Electra 220 electric. Royal Quiet Deluxe manual. #typewriters
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
“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!
