Because you’re good at your job and have been handling impossible situations well for years, there’s an expectation (from others and yourself) that you should just continue to figure it out. When you can’t, it feels like failure rather than a reasonable response to an unreasonable situation.
Somewhere out there, there’s a medium-sized German or Dutch company that needs a remote IT leader who speaks German/Dutch and is American. — I’m not sure how to find those companies, but I pray I do. My Resume
Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.

If you ever wanted a sign that I’ve suddenly come into money. Between St. Andrew’s getting a fancy bell tower, this pen would be another sign.
This review sums up my feelings. I want out of the smartphone world, but just need too many apps to function in the city. I feel stuck. — Mr. Mobile Light Phone III

When God called me to be a priest, children’s ministry definitely wasn’t in my mind. But, He had different plans. Probably only my three today, but it‘ll be my first as a „children‘s pastor.“ May God bless and guide me as I teach His precious children!

Got new shoes for my vacation next week. Breaking them in on the treadmill. I’ve realized I do so much barefoot walking, these shoes feel really restrictive. I can’t believe I used to wear shoes all day long!
This is the goal. Simple obedience and a quiet getting about of the Lord’s work. — The Not At All Secret History of Nicaea
This is silly. Robinson was a clearly political figure who was not focused on ministry as the ACNA expects of her priests. Yes, progressive & un-Anglican theology needs to be dealt with in the ACNA. But, this incident has nothing to do with that. — Calvin Robinson and the Vibe that Shifted
Politiek opsy, as jy ‘n Afrikaans-spreker is wat nou in Nashville woon, kontak my asseblief. Ek is waarskynlik die enigste Nederlandse/Afrikaanse pastoor in die stad en ek is hier om te help.

ACNA Const. Title III Canon 2.1 - Clergy should “be a wholesome example and pattern to the entire flock of Christ.”
The best translation is always the one you read. But, I’ve found time and time again that I keep getting drawn back to the RSV. I love the KJV, but I’m not always ready for that in the early morning. RSV keeps the flow and enough poetry that I don’t stumble over words as much as I find with others.
The Telo truck is super awesome and basically the perfect car for me. But, how are people affording these $45k cars? — youtu.be/uYe-QNRkd…
