“Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.” (Psalm 41:1, NLT)

Looking for a Bible recommendation for a 6yo who’s an excellent reader. Any specific suggestions?

What are you excited for this weekend?

I own and enjoy Apple products, but it makes me irrationally angry that they now own exclusive rights to all the Charlie Brown holiday specials 😡

I like a lot of Keith and Kristyn Getty’s modern hymn stuff. But…all their songs are starting to sound the same to me. Anyone else feel this way?

“Desire of nations”…if only!

Why are headlights SO BRIGHT NOW?? 😵‍💫

Help. Our 6yo just said “skibidi”

When you were at your happiest, what were you doing?

Honest question: Why do certain football players wear crop-top jerseys? Is it just to show off their abs?

Health insurance is such an evil industry. Perfect example of “structural sin” being greater than the sum of its individual parts.

Still waiting for a Great British Bake-Off “Bailey’s Week” featuring Noel as Old Gregg!

If anyone wants to try Kagi for free for 3 months, let me know. I can forward you an email for the deal. Cheers!

“This was the heart of Bonhoeffer’s theological critique of fascism: fascism seduces by promising knowledge of good and evil, shrouding its own violence in a fantasy of moral clarity. His greatest act of antifascist resistance is thus not some act of righteous violence but his own steadfast refusal to see even the most necessary and seemingly justifiable violence as a positive moral good.” www.christiancentury.org/features/…

(Watching the Macy’s parade on TV, a turkey float with T-Pain shows up) Me: “Hey, it’s T-Pain!” 6yo: “Who’s that, another turkey?” 🦃

I’m reminded this week that the huge, selfish silver lining of the 2020 lockdowns was that my young kids didn’t get sick for almost an entire year! Different story now! 🥴🤧

Feels like I’ve got a great big lump of dread stuck in my throat the past few weeks. Anyone else?

It’s a special kind of parenting despair when you’re not quite fully recovered from the illness your children gave you, and they’re already getting sick again with something new. 🤧🥴🤒

OK, I disabled and re-enabled Threads cross-posting. Now, how do I get the yellow error banner on my Micro.blog Timeline page to go away? @help

I still think leaving theological academia was the right choice, and I continue to love my new career as a software engineer. BUT, I really do miss going to AAR/SBL every November and getting to hang with friends, browse the book hall, see how many free drinks I could get at various receptions, etc.
