Microposts
Fridays are leg days for me at the gym. They are always hard. They always hurt. Amy asked, “Since they always hurt, maybe you’re doing them wrong?”
“I’m pretty sure they always hurt because I’m doing them right,” I said.
Pastors, what rhythm do you have for creating space for deep work and at the same time being connected and available through the digital networking tools at our disposal?
I am really liking using Obsidian to craft blog posts. It’s a nice interface and makes it easy to drop onto micro.blog.
Today marks my favorite weekend of the year. It is #OpeningDay for MLB ⚾️! There is hope and expectation and a dream of warm summer nights at ball park or sitting on the patio with a cold beer and the game on the radio.
Just started a new, to me, book by Eugene Peterson. The opening sentences:
“The puzzle is why so many people live so badly. Not so wickedly, but so inanely. Not so cruelly, but so stupidly.”
This book is going to be something else.

Trying out a coffee shop in Eastern Market in Detroit, Anthology. My guy The Beard loves it and recommends the Coffee Tonic. He’s right on the money. Delicious!
This book was really insightful and helpful. I am excited to begin putting some of Dr Li’s insights into practice. For instance, today I began drinking green tea.
Finished reading: Eat to Beat Your Diet by William M. Li 📚
If you’re in the Ypsilanti area, I’d love for you to come out and join me for some intentional conversation tomorrow night at Tap Room.
My first day with an Apple Watch that I got just for fitness tracking and I definitely just went for a one mile walk at 9 pm to close all my rings. #challenge #fitness
Tuesday nights I host a conversation called, Tap Room Tuesday. We meet at 8 pm and have an intentional conversation around three questions. Here are the details for our upcoming gathering.
I get to spend the day exploring Flint,MI again. I’m in the process of missional mapmaking there and learning the place. If you’re around town and want to hang out, hit me up!
I had fun being a guest on a livestream on Twitch this week. I’m thinking I may give it a go and schedule some live AMAs. So, go give me a follow at twitch.tv/danielmro…
If you have a project you’re working on want to be on, let me know!
The World Baseball Classic was absolutely brilliant.
Last night, the game was played at a high level with everything you could ask for.
Ohtani vs Trout with the game on the line in the 9th? Perfection.

I’m so grateful for the life I get to live. Just about every single day I arise to find a day that is filled with things in my wheelhouse. What a life!
