We watched The Long, Long Trailer last night. So much truth in that movie! I was stressing for the husband having to drive that blasted trailer everywhere! 🎥
Longer review coming when I get a bit, but my first week with the BOOX Nova Air 2 has been great. It’s nice putting the phone away after work each day and only having pure reading as an option.

I’m trying to lessen the tech distractions in my life and better focus on what’s important. A Nova Air 2 arrives today. My intent is to put the phone away after work and only have serious reading material (books, RSS, and Pocket) available on a distraction-free device.
Currently reading: Presence in the Modern World by Jacques Ellul 📚 — Two chapters in and I’m already wondering why this wasn’t required reading in seminary.
Wow. It’s going to be a very interesting week for orthodox Anglicans. Thankful for the strong witness of GAFCON & GSFA. — Kigali Commitment

Alleluia! Christ is risen! — Happy Easter!
Almighty God, who through thine only-begotten Son Jesus Christ hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may, by thy life-giving Spirit, be delivered from sin and raised from death; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

I love the work Equip does, but I gotta say my initial reaction is to push back against Christian use of “preferred pronouns.” — On Labels, Pronouns, & Names
Finished reading: Of Boys and Men by Richard Reeves 📚— A good, factual assessment of the issues facing boys and men. I’m less convinced of his solutions. Especially his attempt at redefining fatherhood.

The little girl that made me a daddy turns seven today. Hard to believe! I love her so much and can’t imagine life without her.
Finished reading: On Getting Out of Bed by Alan Noble 📚 — An eye-opening account of what mental illness is like and a great testimony to the goodness of God’s creation.

Y’all, seriously. eBikes are awesome. I’ve been a greenway cyclist for ages, but have been hesitant to do city chores because I’m slow off the line and crawl up hills. (I’ve got arthritis.) eBike makes that all go away. The entire city is flat and I can gently throttle off the line before I start peddling. Love it! Just road with my daughter to pick up some groceries and had a blast. 🚴♂️🚲
I am going to be a mayor who delivers not shiny objects and toys for tourists, but rather services and excellence for the people who live here.
