Solid year in the gym!

Merry Christmas!

We are reminded today that the kingdom of God breaks into the world not by might but in meekness.

The powers of this world shattered by the cry of an infant in the arms of a mother watched over by a guardian father in obscurity.

I am grateful for last night and our Christmas Eve gathering. It was wonderful to simply sing and hear the lessons again.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Advent Readings

It turns out if you forget your phone at home that you:

1. Can still exercise
2. Won’t die

I must have looked like a complete psychopath on the treadmill with no earbuds, just staring into the chasm of nothingness for an hour.

My #whamageddon2025 run ended in the most epic way possible last night. My guy, the Beard had the bartender play the song. Before I realized what was happening I couldn’t escape it.

If you use micro.blog to write long form posts, may I commend to you @obsidian.md. The ability to preview your posts in markdown and also to publish directly from the app or even schedule a post, is remarkable!

Today’s Advent readings…

Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19; 2 Samuel 7:18-22; Galatians 4:1-7

"Reflection requires stillness.

One cost of rushing from thing to thing is that you lose the space to think. Hard work matters, but nonstop motion often hides a quiet truth: you could have used your time better.

If you never pause, you confuse activity with effectiveness. Make time to think. Walk outside. Sit quietly. Create space. Then move again, but this time on purpose."

Multiple times today I have found myself absolutely stopped in my tracks with gratitude for the friends in my life.
