The #OldGal and I both scored a 4 today. Excited for some #YoungPup 3s!

Abbreviated workout today, but it’s better than nothing. #Discipline2025

A fitness app summary displays workout details, including muscle groups targeted, exercise types, calories burned, and volume lifted, along with photos of exercises being performed.

I see a lot of people on the Fediverse talking about getting off the Apple and Microsoft trains. But, I don’t see alternatives ever suggested. So, what are the non-Apple/Microsoft alternatives for laptop, tablet, and phone (I’m assuming Google is also a baddie)?

Good morning! May we offer empathy, compassion, and kindness today. #MorningMug

The #OldGal took advantage of my bad day and posted a 3. I am sure she is giggling…

Do we have a #YoungPup 2?

A fun workflow: sermon recording to MacWhisper for transcription to Gemini for editing and formatting, export to markdown, paste into Obisidian and publish to micro.blog. It takes all of about ten minutes. Fantastic! #pastor #tech

Matthew 21:28-32 Isaiah 9:1-7

We’re embarking on a new series called “Whispers of Grace,” drawing inspiration from the book 15 New Testament Words of Life by Nijay K. Gupta. This series will explore key New Testament concepts and connect them to the broader story of Scripture. This week, we’re diving into the word righteousness.

What comes to mind when you hear “righteousness”? Perhaps negative connotations like self-righteousness or those judgmental “holier-than-thou” types? Maybe you think of the Righteous Brothers? Or if you’re a child of the ’80s like me, maybe Ferris Bueller being called “one righteous dude” pops into your head.

Good morning! May you choose to be in community today. #MorningMug

A black mug with the logo "BIGGBY COFFEE" is being held in a cozy living room setting with a soft couch and a fireplace.

A bittersweet day today at Saginaw Valley State.

Good morning! May you simply be present to the moment today. #MorningMug
