I don’t think I’ve ever written 12,000 words over one weekend before. I still can’t believe I did.

My daughter decided to start taking piano lessons this summer from a professional, and didn’t wait to dive in to trying to make her own music. So this is her little bit of original work.

As I am studying Colossians 1:15-23, an unintended potential thread has popped into my head. If Jesus is the one who holds all things together, and he sustains everything physical and spiritual…

Children cannot help but be offended if their parents have secret snack stashes, even if those children have Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, vanilla ice cream, and italian ice for their own options.

This is what scares me the most about having a daughter who looks like she could be an immigrant. She has severe allergies and dietary restrictions. Even one day in ICE custody could be devastating or lethal. It wouldn’t matter if we found out where she was held, took her birth certificate and

Russell Moore is right. Christian Nationalism is just the prosperity gospel on a national scale. Instead of believing it about the individual, it believes it about the collective.

Graham Platner isn’t Donald Trump. But he is proof that Democrats might just be willing to elect someone like Donald Trump if it meant winning. And no, that’s not a good thing.

As I’m going throw bleak falls barrow and just finished fighting the giant spider holding Arven captive, it just occurred to me that the three desiccated corpses in the room that all have lockpicks as their loot, might have been designed that way to show they are thieves that got caught by spiders.

This is one of those messages that seems like a gotcha. It’s not entirely without a point. But it overlooks the actual issues at play here. If Starbucks was a place where people worked with children for long periods of time, you would see just as many predators trying to get hired as you do…

Supporting Platner doesn’t make you the same as someone who supports Trump today. It does, however, make you the same as someone who supported Trump in 2015.

As I’m looking at Jonah for my sermon on Sunday, I’m struck with a thought. If God called you to go proclaim judgment upon Trump and Maga, and you know that means they might repent and be forgiven and blessed by God; would you run away like Jonah did?

Critics of Contemporary worship music. “Too much ‘Jesus is my boyfriend’ songs. We need more robust theology in our music like the old hymns!” Hymnodist “He’s the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star, he’s the fairest of 10,000 to my soul!”

I think I might be able to harvest my first beet in the next week or so. My cilantro is bolting though, and that makes me sad since I never got to use it.

Find something to hope in that is more local than national politics. Find something to invest your life in. Make a difference in your community. You cannot change what the White House, or Congress, or the Supreme Court are going to do today. But you can change your neighborhood for the better.

You cannot simultaneously believe that Trump is a senile old man who can’t hardly function. And Trump masterminded multiple fake assassinations in order to gain and maintain power, and has successfully covered up each one.

It may feel risky to acknowledge what you see with your eyes and know in your gut—that the narcissists and incompetents have power only because they live in a bubble bouyed by sycophants—that the emperor has no clothes—but I promise, once you face it, you will not be alone.

AI taking over education will be a disaster, even if AI is perfected to be able to give accurate answers all of the time. What happens when the creators of AI decide what counts as accurate information, and if they decide who to sell it to and who to withhold it from?
