The house looks so pretty tonight. I pinch myself often that we get to live here. So very grateful.

If you are following along with the daily Advent readings here are the ones for today:

I listened to this podcast episode today about the liturgical calendar. I grew up in a church that used it and then as I moved into adulthood the churches that I was part of didn’t.

I love the idea of subverting time…

As we walk through Advent, I thought it might be helpful to share the daily passages to read during this season.

December 1: Psalm 124; Genesis 8:1-19; Romans 6:1-11

Watched: Landman S2E2, Sins of the Father 🍿

The conversation between father and son in this episode was poignant.

“Remember how you raise your son is how he will raise his. That cycle is real hard to break.”

I am seeing a rising generation of men doing just that and creating new cycles. Ones that are redemptive and beautiful.

I think I am going to try and create a custom landing page for The Pastor Next Door. Do you think landing pages are worth it? If so, what would do you think should be there?

Right now, I have a simple list of recent blog posts.
