It is so peaceful.
The problem with playing the “Last Christmas” game is that you can’t watch a single video. You never when and where that song is going to pop up.

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:
Psalm 124; Genesis 9:1-17; Hebrews 11:32-40 #Advent2025
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.
Finished reading: The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson 📚
The second book of the Mistborn trilogy. It’s such a fun read and the characters are just a blast!
