Realizing that almost all of our friends with kids have family nearby. Meanwhile, we’re 3.5hrs or more away from family… Do/did you live close to family when raising kids? Did it make a difference?
Hey, if you own a treadmill: Do you use it regularly? Are you glad you have it? Is it worth the space it takes up in your house?
What are the best running shoes for fat guys like me? Should I stick with Brooks Ghosts, my old standby? Or try something different? I’ve tried Hokas before and they weren’t my favorite but I’d be willing to try a different model (I think I tried the Cliftons). I used to be a runner. I’ve run 2 full marathons and a handful of halfs. But that was over 50lbs ago! 😅🫠

For the record, micro.blog is my favorite social network. And I wish all the cool people would ditch FB, Twitter, et al. and come join the fun at MB. However, for the time being, I’ll still keep my cross-posted tendrils out in Mastodon, Bluesky, etc…mainly in the hopes of luring more people to MB!
Testing to make sure cross-posting from micro.blog to Bluesky works!
I’m now on Bluesky. Who else is there? bsky.app/profile/j…

Thinking about Romans 5:10. We Christians tend to make much of being reconciled to God through Christ’s death. But what does it mean to be saved by Christ’s life?
We’ve always lived over 3 hours away from family. We’ve got a 4yo, 2yo, and 6mo. How big of a difference does it make living, say, 30 mins or less away from parents when raising young kids?
I want to read some George MacDonald. Where should I start?
Sure, the Church is a train wreck. Just an absolute dumpster fire. BUT. It’s pizza and movie night. Happy Friday!

Using ChatGPT-4 to help me write a “Book API” that I’m then going to use as the starting point for a comparative demo of various AI coding tools. This is fun!
