My favorite 4th of July was spent in Mexico City, eating homemade tamales and launching homemadee fireworks. 🇺🇸
If you had to choose, would you rather have the Ten Commandments or these “Elementary Laws of Morality” posted in classrooms? www.artofmanliness.com/character…
Holy shit. “My Unsettling Interview with Steve Bannon” www.nytimes.com/2024/07/0…
Groundhog Day, but he’s got 3 little kids and it takes him the entire movie just to realize he’s in a time loop.
If I really love the following, what else should be on my radar screen? This Old House, Ask This Old House, Essential Craftsman, Project Farm, r/Tools, Cool Tools, The Art of Manliness, Farnam Street, James Clear…
Thinking of starting “Anglicans Anonymous” for people like me who got the heck out of the ACNA. Not to be confused with “Anonymous Anglicans,” AKA the asshats in the comments.
Brb, gonna go become a prepper and dig a bunker for when my country collapses… 🇺🇸
The battery life on my iPhone XR is starting to suck more and more. Thinking about next options. Do I go Android? Stay with iPhone? Ditch the smartphone? What do you think I should do?
Anyone else’s wife walk freakishly fast? Or is it just my wife?

What is parenting, if not overstimulation persevering?
I still think that Lent 1, Year A is the best combination of passages in the Revised Common Lectionary. Was brought to tears the first time I heard these lessons together in a service: Gen 2.15-17, 3.1-7; Ps 32; Rom 5.12-19; Mt 4.1-11. https://www.lectionarypage.net/YearA_RCL/Lent/ALent1_RCL.html

One of the best books I’ve ever read is “Lament for a Son” by Nicholas Wolterstorff. It was written while grieving for the loss of his son, Eric, who died in 1983 at age 25 in a mountain climbing accident. If you’ve ever lost someone you love, I highly recommend this book.
Testing out cross-posting to see if this makes it from my micro.blog to Threads!
