This broke and was leaking water. I bought a replacement part and installed it myself. Please, clap.

And, yes, that was “beautiful Jesus” peeping out from behind my chair. I’ve not decided where He belongs yet, but I just had to have Him.

I’m so torn! The reviews… aren’t great. But, I still want a more focused tablet. But, an iPad mini is the same price. But, a mini is harder to keep focused. If this were mini-sized, the decision would be a little easier!

Tapestry has me thinking. I wonder if there’s a system I could setup to muffle posts based off sentiment? Keep the local news, events, and politics without the darkness and anger. 🤔 💭

Analogue Mornings continue to go well. — The morning office was easy to reestablish and I did 50k steps last week. My struggle is getting up at 5:30a (feet not actually on the floor until 6a) and, thus, doing journaling. Onward and forward!

This. This is what gets me when I go to “Big Social”. I don’t mind political analysis. But the moaning, negativity, and drama get me. It’s an evil presence my life is better without. I’m thankful for the slow Internet world of blogs! — Kev Quirk

I finally blocked Facebook and Twitter. What finally pushed me over the edge was Exvangelicals making definitive theological statements about every single political thing. Far too tempting to respond! Internet arguments are not a place I want to go.

omg.lol is a cool little project. It’s actually where I host info.marmanold.com. But, I’m not okay with this type of hateful and mean behavior. When I get the time, I’ll move things away and cancel. — Neatnik Notes · Accountability

I wish there were a non-creepy way to find these young men. I’m literally open to weekly hangouts in a pub. My dinner table is open. My fire-pit has a place for them. - Young and Alone

There is no greater joy than being present when God works miracles. — I pity the folk who are too “busy”, too “politically engaged”, and too distracted to patiently stand by His side.

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…”

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.
