I don’t know, y’all. Maybe they just. don’t. like. women, gay people, people of color, etc.? 🤷♂️ And maybe it’s been more about PoWeR than about Jesus? 🤷♂️ (If you’re sure this doesn’t apply to you because “not all evangelicals” or “no true evangelical,” fine. Ignore it.)
If you’ve got questions about God’s presence, power, and goodness, does reading the Bible relieve the tension from those questions, or make them more intense? (This thought prompted by a re-read of Genesis)
Feels like Lent 2020 never ended. If you think of it, would you pray for me? My faith’s been all but dead recently. Going to give faith another try, as it were, this Lent.
I love this idea: A blog post is a search query to find your people. austinkleon.com
Still waiting on my “Almost a PhD” Masters degree to arrive in the mail from Wheaton 🤞😅
Not gonna lie, I really want one of those Supernote tablets…
Built a SCIM server that uses (a fork of) Apache Directory SCIMple. Builds, runs, and responds to requests locally (/api/scim/actuator/ endpoints and /api/scim/v2/Users endpoint). But we’re unable to hit any endpoints when deploying with EKS. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

Tell me either your happiest or saddest Valentine’s Day story!
Superb Owl: anticlimactic ending, meh commercials, congrats to Rihanna on Baby #2!
Is your conservative church stone-cold silent about whether/how it should respond to in-house abuse? No problem! Just figure out a way to make it about LGBTQ+ people and you’re sure to get a public response ASAP! 🙃
Started re-watching The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time in a long time last night. Forgot how much I love it!
Huzzah! Got promoted to Software Engineer 2! 🥳🎉
🎶 “Roll with the Changes” by REO Speedwagon. What an absolute banger. 🎶
I’m going to get an AWS Certification this year. Trying to decide between Developer and Solution Architect. Any thoughts either way?
Genesis. What a wild ride. Also, I’m trying to read some Pannenberg (“Jesus—God and Man” and “Basic Questions in Theology”) and some of it sure feels like word salad. 🤷♂️
Do you agree with this “Tact Filters” theory?
“When normal people talk to each other, both people usually apply the appropriate amount of tact to everything they say, and no one’s feelings get hurt. When nerds talk to each other, both people usually apply the appropriate amount of tact to everything they hear, and no one’s feelings get hurt. However, when normal people talk to nerds, the nerds often get frustrated because the normal people seem to be dodging the real issues and not saying what they really mean. Worse yet, when nerds talk to normal people, the normal people’s feelings often get hurt because the nerds don’t apply tact, assuming the normal person will take their blunt statements and apply whatever tact is necessary.”
