A perfect Tennessee autumn dinner: grilled cheese and soup. 🍂

The Christmas show at Dollywood was surprisingly good. Only theogical critique was Mary’s song mid-way. Mary definitely didn’t need two men to convince her it was okay. “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

This is not how you restore Jesus to Christmas!

If you have ~30 minutes of time, it would be greatly appreciated if you could read through the very early stages of my final MDiv project and send me feedback.

The Thelio is looking very tempting. Is it time to give desktop Linux another try? Can I really leave macOS X behind? Thelio - System76

Why in the world does West Virginia have 88 octane?!?!

Only through the introduction to Schillebeeckx’s “The Eucharist” and it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is going to be a good read!

The Church of the Epiphany in East Nashville has finally arrived in Pittsburgh. I’ll be at convention all day tomorrow. Pittsburgh Anglicans, give me a shout so we can meet. Awesome to see so many Anglicans in real life!

Preaching Psalm 13, Deut 6:4-9, and John 17:20-26 tonight. We’re going to confront hate with God’s eternal triune love, celebrate a baptism, and go out into the world to bravely reject hate and fear. Lord, have mercy.

Happy Halloween from the Arnolds! 🎃

Very excited to read this with a group of clergy people next month! 📚

I’ve spent the last year with an iPad Pro. It is a truly great laptop replacement for me. Desktop for work and gaming. iPad for reading and communicating.

The new Mac mini gives me hope for a proper Mac Pro. I do wonder, however, what a mini with an eGPU looks like for the simple games I play. eGPU supported under Windows? Upgradable?

I registered for my final semester at Vanderbilt today. Only months to go! Praise God!

I saw this in Green Hills on my way to a lunch meeting. So. Many. Questions.

A great sin of the congregationalist church is seeing the local church as a business franchise. Losing sight of the sacramental reality of Christ’s Body made real in the Church is the root of much evil.

There’s some deeply poor theology in calling baptism Sunday “Yes to Jesus Sunday.” Baptism is God’s gracious work, not our own.

“Christ was the word who spake it, he took the bread and brake it, and as the word did make it, So I receive, believe, and take it.” — HRH Queen Elizabeth I

Speaking of Schillebeeckx. I really need to get his Dutch-language works on my wishlist. Maybe my years of Dutch will gain me more than the ability to shop for exciting cheeses and beautiful tulips.
