And, with that, the most stressful experience of my career is finished.
Methodists and Wesleyans are not active participants in America’s meaningful national conversations. Methodism helped to shape America and its democracy. Now it is largely a bystander. Hopefully, a renewed Wesleyan Christianity will contribute to American intellectual discourse. - firebrandmag.com/articles/…
I’d say this is because these days most serious “Methodists” are Anglican or Roman.
A great article from Dr. Noble on wellness. As someone a year and a half into a health journey, it was a good reminder. readwise.io/reader/sh…
I’m excited to say that I’m leaving a really stressful, dysfunctional place for a new role at a company with a great culture and efficient processes. After some time to decompress and refocus, I’ll start my new role at the end of the month. Excited to build and lead again!
After months of applying and interviewing, it feels great to delete LinkedIn from my phone.
I keep checking because I see the Waymo cars all over town. I don’t love the idea in general (would rather pay drivers). But, I do want to try it once for the excitement. 🤖 🚘
St. Joseph, terror of demons, pray for us!
I didn’t post my draft just now because it did not glorify Christ. But… if anyone wants to grab a beer sometime, I have thoughts about “one bag travel” bloggers and Americans traveling in Europe.
Really good observations. I’ve had similar thoughts. — Charlie Kirk’s Assassination: We have gone beyond the pale — The Symbolic World
64 degrees this morning. My office usually sits at around 80 in the summer. Windows are open and it’s so lovely!
Thank you! One of the worst changes in iOS 26 has a fix in settings!
I did it. Facebook and Twitter are both gone. I don’t know why I waited so long. Removing the potential of something being over there, unknown, has removed a burden from my mind. — My friends & family have my number, know my blog, and see me in person. I’m missing nothing important.
I’m strongly considering completely deleting my Facebook and Twitter accounts. Algorithms that seek to “engage” and “enrage” counteract the peace and joy God directs me to in prayer and the study of scripture. — So, if civil war breaks out, would someone mind texting me and letting me know?
Despite having removed social media apps from the phone years ago and only accessing them via the desktop, I’ve realized I was still addicted. They’ve been blocked at the network level for 11 days now and I still find myself drawn to them.
It’s been a good while and it turns out I don’t miss The Verge, 404 Media, and other tech media source that are comfortable with justifying violence.

Google, can we please get an “always in original language“ setting? I never want a channel I subscribe to translated.
I have no idea how I didn’t know this until yesterday. But, The Swiss Family Robinson is actually Swiss and originally written in German. 🤯
I’ve done a lot of unsubscribing today. My RSS feeds are broad, because I like reading across the political and ideological spectrum. However, I have no space for the celebration or justification of violence or death.
Is there a non-political alternative to the Verge out there? I just want consumer tech news and product reviews.
