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.

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!
I am grateful for time spent with family.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey @OldTallGuy@universeodon.com, I hope your Packers play good enough to keep the game interesting but not good enough to win. I also hope there are no injuries.
More than that, I hope you, my favorite Packer fan, has a wonderful Thanksgiving fillled with gratitude.

There are few episodes of television that have left me in tears. This one makes we weep every time, forgiveness in all its awful beauty.
Watched: Ted Lasso S1E9, All Apologies 🍿
Some days at the gym are stupid hard.
Some days is today.
Nevertheless, press on.

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” - Simone Weil
I think of this in terms of presence. “Presence” is the word I would drop in there for “attention.”
Overnight oats?
Shockingly good.
I’m doing my annual re-watch of Lord of the Rings. Am I assingning characters to my buddies in the group chat?
Yes, yes I am.
