I am a follower of Jesus. I love my family. I’m a pastor and a writer. My project right now is Proverbs4Today on Substack.
I'm curious. If you've ever been through a season of grief, what was the most confusing aspect? What caught you off-guard? What was unexpected?

Remember all the rage about standing desks? If you have an office job where you sit and read all day, they advised investing in a standing desk. Now, some studies are showing that standing may not have the health benefits we thought.
In other words.... let the reader under stand.

When I become president my first order of business will be to mandate that companies diversify the songs playing while on hold. And that you get to select which genre. Hearing one bar of some awful classical music on repeat for an hour incites rage.

Do you think it would be harder for you to leave a known group or to join a new one?

Does it seem to you like Christians are rethinking assisted suicide? I’m just hearing conversations about this a little more than I once did.

I don’t think most people realize that is the mayor of Knox County, TN giving the pile driver
The new Secretary of Education!?

If you thought Gwen Stefani screamed at phone poles instead of screened her phone calls, you’re not alone. That’s my misheard lyric. What are yours?

One of my favorite things to do on chatGPT is to enter in a complicated quoted with big ol' words and then say, "Explain this to me like I'm 5."

Good writers make me want to write. Robert Farrar Capon is one of those.

I’m trying out this app, Threads, and X for a week to see what engagement looks like for each. Will probably only be active on one. It’s going to take clear and convincing evidence to have me back on X, though.

This isn’t an invitation to grab pitchforks or anything, but I really think we shouldn’t supply the word “thing” to Proverbs 18:22. This good wife you find isn’t a “thing” and the Hebrew doesn’t say that. Finding a wife is finding “the good”

Paul (27) vs Tyson (58) is like the difference between doing an all-night youth lock-in as a youth pastor vs senior pastor.

It’s exciting to start something new and build from the ground up. My aim is to make every post here hope-filled and Christ-centered and whatever platform is built comes from that center.
