Good morning! May you love mercy and extend mercy today. #MorningMug

If you are wrestling with what is happening in the world, I would like to recommend two books to you.

First, please consider reading Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. It will provide you with some context and grounding for the culture that has grown up around the advent of the screen.

Second, please consider reading The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt. It will provide you with a scaffolding to help you understand why you think the way you think and just as importantly, why other people think the way they think.

I just finished reading Jesus and the Powers by NT Wright and Michael Bird it was challenging and encouraging in all the right ways. I am going to do a little write up on it soon.

Finished reading: Jesus and the Powers by N. T. Wright 📚

Good morning! May you be able to rest today. #MorningMug

The #OldGal posts a 6 today and we win!

I got to play six holes on our little par three course today. The weather is perfect and it felt good to be back in my happy place.

Styling? Styling.

Aside not beside.

I am noting how nice this looks.

I am alert to seeing this look good.

My friend, @solusspider@polymaths.social, shared this with me today and it made me smile. Hopefully, it will make you smile too.

Hey micro.blog community, if you’re able, consider dropping @Mtt a coffee if you use Bayou, Sumo, or Tiny Theme. buymeacoffee.com/mattlangford

Hey @Mtt, if I wanted to use the “note” or “aside” class in a post, how would I do that?

Today, I went to an open AA meeting with my brother, David. I don’t know if I’ve ever witnessed something more beautiful in my entire life.

In so many ways it is what the Church ought to be.

Welcoming, kind, honest, gracious, and authentic. This was no cheap grace either. I am still processing.

I know that as coffee drinkers we are not supposed to like Starbucks. However, I have to say that I appreciate (1) the Wifi, (2) the convenience, (3) and the dark roast. Yes, I am a Philistine.

I love watching him play baseball. It is so hard to believe this is the final season.

This feels like the perfect first “reblog” for me to post on the Micro Social app!

I am trying out a new to me feature on my site, photo collections. Here’s one I just popped together for our North Carolina trip.
