I really enjoyed my round of golf at Signal Hill in Panama City Beach, FL today. Played one of the best rounds of my life and was paired up with two really great guys from Georgia.

This morning I played The Legacy in Panama City Beach, FL. It was toasty but fun. #Rest

Sometimes you have to just stop and create space.

I am grateful to be able to do so this week. Not everyone has that freedom or privilege.

My gratitude is overflowing.

The sunsets in Panama City Beach, FL are second to none.

Finished reading: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown 📚

It was a struggle to get into this one but it got better and better. I am anxious for book five to become available from the library!

This man. He will be missed. May God raise up another. Well done, good and faithul servant.

Wendell Berry has gone to be with the Lord today at the age of 92. He was one of those authors that have influenced me on a profound level.

I am grateful for his words that live forever in so many.

I think this eulogy from C. Christopher Smith - Author hits the perfect note.

There’s a new episode for The Pastor Next Door coming tomorrow. Until then check out this highlight from last week.

Faith isn't certainty in outcomes, it's a relationship.

I have crossed the Rubicon. I get sore after my lifts. To stop being sore, I need to lift again. 🤣

I resonate with this quote from James Clear, ““Long-term thinking changes short-term actions. Spend a little time today doing things that will benefit you in ten years.”

Next week, I am going to post the podcast as a video in the podcast feed. I am curious to see if it shows on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube as video.

I bumped into this quote from Simone Weil today. What does it look to be rooted in your life?

I really don’t enjoy leg day. It’s hard.

I really love leg day. I can do hard things.

What happens when faith fails?

I tried to be a bit more succinct to keep this episode of The Pastor Next Door under 20 minutes for those of you that prefer to watch a video. Thanks to micro.blog I can host the video episode right here! I hope you enjoy it.

Time to get that first lift of the week in. Planning to go Tues/Thurs/Sat this week.
