The Collect for Sabbath Rest is a great reminder. So often I seek to pack my Saturdays too full. Today I’ll instead put “away all earthly anxieties” and place my focus on resting with and enjoying my family so, together, will be “prepared for the service of [God’s] sanctuary.”

There is a 12,000 ft^2 maker space within biking distance to my house! I had no idea! So excited! makenashville.org

A very good question indeed.

Why are we taxing bus riders to pay rich people to buy McMansions and luxury electric SUVs?

FaceTime counts as social media?!? Apple needs to work on Screen Time. A 30-minute Video Chat with Granny shouldn’t count against my social media time!

I just finished Bret Fisher’s “Docker Swarm Mastery” course. I really enjoyed it and learned tonnes! I would highly recommend.

I love Screen Time in iOS 12, but there really needs to be a way to exclude Messages from the social media category.

Finished reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear 📚

2600 is, by far, the best tech publication I have ever read. 🖥 🤓

This article is spot on. It mirrors much of my experience in the UMC and at Vanderbilt. — Seminary Confidential

At IKEA in Atlanta. I don’t even want to know the story behind this sign!

Lee Greenwood’s got some unexpected soul in “Ain’t No Trick” 🎶

These DNC debates are awful. We need blue labor or some sort of Christian social democratic party.

I got a TRS-80 Model 100 off Craigslist a while back. Pretty fun little computer. Writing BASIC takes me back to the fourth grade for sure!

Finished reading: Against Calvinism 📚

I love the ‘94 Book of Occasional Services on exorcism. Basically, “Dude, ask yo’ bishop. This is some real stuff!”

I bought “Against Calvinism” six years ago before seminary and Anglicanism. Three chapters in, it’s amazing how Protestant it all sounds to me. Reformed Catholic English “Arminianism” of Bishop L. Andrewes is a much better place for me.

Baptist must necessarily reject the validity of Calvin, Luther, Augustine, and many other immanent theologians’ baptism. Until Baptist theologians find a mediating view that affirms the validity of Catholic baptism without rejecting credo baptism there is no way forward.

Chapter 2 of Olson’s “Against Calvinism” struggles at times with why Calvinist Baptist are excluded from the “Reformed” label. I think it’s clear. The Baptist rejection of Catholic baptism is the stumbling block.

I know it’s unorthodox and I do love the BCP morning office, but I always find myself drawn back to the morning litany in Saint Augustine’s Prayer Book. 🙏

It’s a Rend Collective type of rainy day. Remembering God’s joy and presence in all the storms!

Precisely what I thought would happen.  — Mega-church Pastor Nominate Lifeway CEO

Curses! This episode is making me want to get a stand-alone camera!

Scala Native is pretty darn cool.

Y’all, now is a good time to pray the prayers for peace found in our beautiful new prayer book on page 654. #peace #anglican

“Almighty God, from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed: Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all people the true love of peace, and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility your kingdom may go forward, till the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.” - BCP 2019
