May we not forget that de-humanizing those who de-humanize means we have set aside our own integrity and lost our own moral standing.

Jesus in Conversation - The Sales People
When was the last time you walked into a space and thought, “This is not at all what I was expecting”? I grew up going to a historic Presbyterian church in Pontiac, MI. It is one of the oldest churches in the state. The building is magnificent. It is a gothic style church with a massive pipe organ and gorgeous stained glass at the corner of the two main roads in the downtown of the city. Any time I walk into First Presbyterian Church of Pontiac I am left with a sense of wonder and reverence.
It was a magical place to grow up in my faith.

The #OldGal also posted a 5 today. I am seeing loads of 4s already from team #YoungPup. She once again been vanquished.
I am tired of the deconstruction conversation. I am grateful for deconstruction. I am tired of well meaning people trying to figure out “why” it is going on. The thing is, it seems to me almost very page of the Bible has stories of deconstruction.
It is the spiritual life.
If you have subscribed to my newsletter at The Pastor Next Door can you let me know if you received it today? Or even last week? Thanks!
Why does Jesus do the miracle of turning water into wine? Could it be something more than just to keep the party going? Check out the latest post: Jesus in Conversation - His Mom
Jesus in Conversation - His Mom
Moms and sons have a special kind of dynamic. I know that my mom and I can communicate with a look. We have inside jokes and so much shared history that sometimes we don’t even need to say anything.
As I watch my own son and my wife, the same dynamic exists. They have an uncanny ability to simply understand one another. It’s almost like they can read one another’s minds at times.
Of course, there’s also the reality that sons are male and we often fail miserably at reading our mom’s minds. But, just like that special #girldad bond there is a #boymom bond that is unique too.

The #OldGal also popped a four today! Any #YoungPups floating around with a 3? Her three streak finally broke.
Good morning! May you become more aware of your personal blind spots so as to love well. #MorningMug #discipline2025
