#3GoodThings February 27, 2023

  1. A quiet day of reading, writing, and processing

  2. A good day of eating healthy

  3. Rediscovered the music of Parliament Funkadelic and it made me smile

I’m following all the #baseball micro.blog users I can. ⚾️

Popped on this playlist on a whim, and woo! It was exactly the move for a rainy quiet day off. music.apple.com/us/playli… #funkadelic #gfunk

On Tuesday nights I host a gathering of intentional conversation, Tap Room Tuesdays. Join me! Details are here: danielmrose.com/events/ta…

What are three specific things you’re doing today to help yourself to flourish?

For me:

  1. I exercised
  2. I meditated on Scripture
  3. I am choosing to spend time with friends tonight

When it’s gross outside and you decide to do a body weight workout at home. But then, you realize your body weighs more than anything you lift at the gym! #health #exercise #journey

Jordan Walker is that guy. #cardinals

I’m working hard at becoming the best version of me. So, a green smoothie 5-6 days per week is breakfast. It tastes better than it looks (191 cals, 25g protein). #foodnotpills

I’m pondering my shadow self this morning. As opposed to running from it or hiding it, I want to understand more deeply how to include it and transcend it.

Huge Red Wings game tonight. Two points back with four games in hand. I have become a believer! #lgrw #hockey

What steps have you taken to move beyond dualistic thinking toward a more wholistic perspective that is rooted in grace?

I’ve never really been all that into posting my sermons online. But, here we are. You can find them at Acts 13 Network.

Socrates is quoted as saying, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Let’s make life worth living!

As I sit in front my laptop, there are no ideas in my mind. I am devoid of concepts to write about. As a pastor, I know that I can open my Bible and write about the Scriptures. I do that regularly.

It feels as though everything I want to write is derivative. I’ve already written it before. Or, someone else has written it and written it much better.

So, here I am.

I am staring at a blank screen and a blinking cursor on a clean blog platform. There is no history here. There are no other posts that are filling a backlog.

Just emptiness.

I will write here.

I guess it will be a journal of sorts.

Some days, it will be a sentence. Other days more.

But, I will write something and then click publish.

…click.
