The #OldGal dropped a 4 today due to an unforced error. Her tea must have been lackluster. Team #YoungPups unite!

Good morning! May you press on and finish your week well. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

My guy E Rose went 3-4, BB, 2 R, 2 RBI.

The team won 12-4! They are 2-0 so far in Arizona.

Jesus’ response to suffering people and to “nobodies” provides a glimpse into the heart of God. God is not the unmoved Absolute, but rather the Loving One who draws near.

This might be one of the most challenging concepts for many American Christians to wrap our minds around. We have been told for so long that God is non-emotional. Yet, in the person of Jesus, we see God draw near in love. This is the consistent response of Jesus in the Gospels to the people who are on the “outside.”

It’s killing me to be in Michigan while he is in Arizona playing ball. But, there’s not much better than seeing your kid do what they love. ⚾️

Good morning! May you push through whatever obstacles you’re facing today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

The #OldGal got a 3. #YoungPups, I got you.

This is not her week.

🤣🤣🤣

Indeed, the kingdom of God will grow on earth as the church creates an alternative society demonstrating what the world is not, but one day will be: Barth’s prescription of “a new sign which is radically dissimilar to [the world’s] own manner and which contradicts it in a way which is full of promise.”

I imagine this alternative society would look vastly different from what we see today.

Somehow, the #OldGal dropped a 5! This means that a lackluster 4 gets the job doneb done today for me. But the scores from #YoungPups are also looking strong!

Good morning! May you create opportunities to laugh today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

If you’re into sermons, here’s mine from this past Sunday about loving your enemies… ordinary jesus - did it stutter?

The #OldGal failed on today’s puzzle. So even my guessing game 5 got a W! #YoungPups with the resounding victory.

Good morning! May you embrace whatever challenge you face today with faithfulness and resolve. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

This is an excellent primer on the service I’m now posting and blogging on.
