Good morning! May you choose to connect with others today in a shared sense of community. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing
Jesus himself had mixed feelings during the clamorous parade. Luke reports that as he approached the city he began to weep. He knew how easily a mob could turn. Voices who shout “Hosanna!” one week can shriek “Crucify him!” the next.
From: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey 📚
As we step into holy week this quote has been on my mind. Particularly, “how easily a mob could turn.”
Would I have turned?
Would I have shouted “Hosanna!” and then shrieked, “Crucify!”?
Definitely going to have the split screen going this afternoon for Michigan State/UNC and Wings/Predators.
What a fun day of sports ahead!
If you’re on micro.blog, I would encourage you to check out @Mtt’s Tiny Theme. It is really, really good. He continues to improve it as well.
Even in the moment of peace, as he rocked slowly, the #weight of the decision was ever present. He tried to be fully aware of the moment. The focus of his attention was on the heat from the bowl of his pipe and sound of his own breathing.

The #OldGal whipped me with a 3. She did me like me Oakland did Kentucky.
Hopefully the #YoungPups can up with a 2.
This past week I’ve done the “crazy weather/man cold” thing. Yet, I didn’t miss a lift. A couple of years ago, there’s no way that would have been true.
Yes, I’ve lost weight.
But, I’m no longer the same person. I am a person who exercises even when I don’t want to exercise. It’s what I do now.
This NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has been really entertaining to this point. It is one of my favorite sports weekends of the year. 🏀
If you’re into sermon listening, mine from this past Sunday has been published: ordinary jesus - quiet righteousness
ordinary jesus - quiet righteousness // Matthew 6:1-4
We take a look at Jesus’ call to a quiet righteousness
His stubbled face and steel blue eyes revealed a deep knowing. His hands were calloused. The #smoke from his pipe drifted gently off against the setting sun. The only sound was the creak from the loose deck board beneath his rocking chair.
At that moment all was peace.

An unforced error in row three. 🤬
The upside? The #OldGal put up a bigger number like her Grizzlies did against Kentucky. She got a 5!
#YoungPups, let’s roll!
Good morning! May you finish your week with hopeful enthusiasm. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing
