More and more I am doubting the value of online “dialogue.” I want it to be a thing, but I have not seen legitimate conversations happen in a long time. It typically devolves into “gotcha” games and name-calling.

What’s a show or two you really enjoy that you think would help people understand who you are?

I can think of two, Ted Lasso and The Good Place.

I don’t know about your social feeds but most of mine are simply filled with people posting mis- and dis-information. Most of it is AI or other versions of edits.

I was pointed to this speech by Fredrick Douglass in a podcast I was listening to today. It was delivered on December 9, 1860. It is as timely today, as it was then. I would encourage each of us to take the few minutes that is required to read it.

A Plea for Freedom of Speech

I am really digging Apple’s OS26. The unified feel between laptop and phone is fantastic. I really like the way everything looks. It feels very Apple, if that makes sense.

Every time my Session (the leadership of the Presbyterian church) gathers, I am always left amazed by what God has built here. This group of people is something special. I am grateful.

Another phenomenal football Saturday with Libby and the rest of the 236 Fab Five in East Lansing today. #GoGreen 🏈

I am excited to begin taking the communities I serve through the letter to the Colossians this Sunday.

If you live in the Flint area you can join me at 10:45 am for a service of worship at Peace Presbyterian Church.

If you live in the Ypsilanti area join us at 5:30 for dinner followed by singing, Scripture, communion, and prayer at 6:30 in our home.

Today was spent in East Lansing getting Libby set up for Year 4 at Michigan State! Ths Spring she will be graduating with her degree in Public Relations.

We are so proud of her and all she has already accomplished at MSU!

This past weekend was spent loading a U-Haul and traveling to Iowa City, Iowa. Ethan is off on his next grand adventure, University of Iowa Law.

His apartment is nice. The town is fantastic. The campus is beautiful.

Amy and I are so proud of him!

Some days are just built different! Yesterday, we spent the day in Detroit hanging out, exploring, laughing, eating, and being present to one another. Life is good.

As I have read and researched more about this budget bill that was passed today, many verses ran through my mind, this one seems most apropos.
