Finished reading: The Four Cardinal Virtues by Josef Pieper 📚

If not me, then who?

This quote’s been in my head a lot lately. It’s probably an entire sermon, but we can’t just sit around complaining about the world around us. God calls us to get off our butts and do something. Charity and mercy are not optional. “Go ye therefore…”

Something like this would be amazing in Nashville. But, where do you get the land? — Community First! Village

Since apparently this is a thing we need to be certain about now… Both institutions can provide official transcripts and I can easily find folk who’ve witnessed me on campus and in class.

I’m pumped to finally be kicking this off!

I have found this to be so. Many conversations about God & church started because we prayed over our meal at a restaurant.

Losing my mouse multiple time per day on my work machine was slowly driving me more insane. This, thankfully, fixed it. — Fixing USB disconnects on sleep on MacOS

Christmas and vacation are officially over. Jetzt fängt es wirklich an!

I must admit, Thomas Llewleyn and I share our opinion of tea. It always just tastes like hot water to me. Give me coffee instead. ☕️

Listen folk, if this Alabama boy can remember to get the snow and ice off his car’s roof, you can, too. — If this 5’6” guy can get the ice and snow off his roof, you can reach yours, too. 🧊 ❄️ 🚙

Here are the books I finished reading in 2024.

For the second year in a row, I made an effort to include non-fiction in my reading. I’m better for it and highly recommend it!

Some solid advice from on social media and technology use. Very similar to my practice. — How I Am Getting My Mind Back This Year

Currently reading: Fatal Enquiry by Will Thomas 📚

Und so fängt es an.

Starting back to work on a Thursday has me real confused. Feels like a Monday, but it’s Thursday. The fact we had Mass yesterday, really enforces the Monday feel.

I’m incredibly blessed this year and every year for the support folk give @christouranchor. There is seriously no greater joy than sharing God’s love with His lost and lonely children. Thank you for letting me live His call! 🙏 💚

Finished reading: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens 📚

I’m planning my 2025 reading list. What books should I add? 📚

Cups from the 1987 Arby’s Christmas Collection kept diligently by my wife’s family.

The scene in The Star when all the animals bow to Jesus gets me every time time. Same with the scene in The Chosen when St. Peter falls to his knees before Christ.

What I’m saying is, there are no words sufficient for what I feel for Jesus. I only desire to bow before Him. Only falling before Him in worship and submission even begins to express what’s felt. Even in bowing, I know He bids me to rise for His embrace. That makes me want to kneel before Him ever more.

Hail King Jesus! God in flesh among us. Our everlasting Lord and King. 🤴

Merry Christmas! — Frohe Weihnacht! — Vrolijk Kerstmis!

This was a really great interview. Great work by the Free Press. — Sam Altman on His Feud with Elon Musk—and the Battle for AI’s Future — Honestly with Bari Weiss — Overcast
