I had to go with the “standard” choice here. “God” just isn’t specific enough for me. I trust in God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit made manifest in the person of Jesus Christ. The deist god of the founders and the “neutral” god of American politics is unknown to me.
I’m so over articles like this in The Tennessean! It’s disgusting. Hundreds of words about “reproductive rights”, protesting, and organization. Not a mention of the little lives extinguished. Lord, have mercy on us all!
Ready for a men’s ministry tailgate. Join us at 5:30p!

Y’all! The ending of John has me pumped up today. Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again!

Ready to watch Nashville SC get 3 at home with my #1 soccer buddy. ⚽️
Finished reading: Charity Detox by Robert D. Lupton 📚
I’ve been reading a lot on evangelism and social enterprises/charity. — What recommendations do y’all have? ⛪️ 🎣
Just so y’all know. If I ever respond to a social media post, text, or whatever, and say that I am praying, I have literally prayed for the request before I post that. 🙏
If you’ve read books like Toxic Charity, When Helping Hurts, or Practicing the King’s Economy and want to know what’s next, please contact me. I’m forming a team to bring social enterprise & evangelism to Nashville. Big thinkers and entrepreneurs wanted!
Be pruned. Let God cut back that which is dead, that which is growing astray. Eat this meal, stand in his light, and marvel at the new growth his Holy Spirit will pour into your life.
My two year old daughter just told me I had to put the toilet seat down. The indoctrination starts young!

I’m becoming a single-issue voter in local elections. I live downtown in a major city and it’s ridiculous that I need to own two cars. I don’t leave Nashville all week. I should be able to safely get to church, coffee shops, and soccer without a car. 🚲 🚋 🚌
I kicked the temp down to 72 for some guests. Don’t know how people do it. So cold in here! 🥶
Finally available in the US Kindle store. Looking forward to reading this. — What Do Men Want? by Nina Power 📚
Love my city. Love my team. — Win or lose. ⚽️
Found in my record collection: Andraé Crouch and the Disciples. Very much my jam! 🎶

I watched What is a Woman? last night. AMA
Prayers appreciated for Rosemary who has a minor dental surgery (lip tie release) today. 🙏
For August, I’ll be doing OT readings from New English Translation of the Septuagint. I’m still undecided on what I’ll try for NT.
The month of July has been spent with the NET Bible with full notes. The notes are fun. I’m surprised it’s not more popular with Baptists and other evangelicals.
