I just finished reading Jesus and the Powers by NT Wright and Michael Bird it was challenging and encouraging in all the right ways. I am going to do a little write up on it soon.

Finished reading: Jesus and the Powers by N. T. Wright 📚

Good morning! May you be able to rest today. #MorningMug

The #OldGal posts a 6 today and we win!

I got to play six holes on our little par three course today. The weather is perfect and it felt good to be back in my happy place.

Styling? Styling.

Aside not beside.

I am noting how nice this looks.

I am alert to seeing this look good.

My friend, @solusspider@polymaths.social, shared this with me today and it made me smile. Hopefully, it will make you smile too.

Hey micro.blog community, if you’re able, consider dropping @Mtt a coffee if you use Bayou, Sumo, or Tiny Theme. buymeacoffee.com/mattlangford

Hey @Mtt, if I wanted to use the “note” or “aside” class in a post, how would I do that?

Today, I went to an open AA meeting with my brother, David. I don’t know if I’ve ever witnessed something more beautiful in my entire life.

In so many ways it is what the Church ought to be.

Welcoming, kind, honest, gracious, and authentic. This was no cheap grace either. I am still processing.

When "Enough" Feels Impossible

Do you ever feel like you don’t have what it takes?

There are days when I wake up, consider the tasks before me, and think, “How can I possibly do this?”

Life is messy. It often feels like the world is on fire, and I’m armed with nothing but a nearly empty squirt gun. When I read the news, I see so much work that needs to be done. The world is so vast, yet I am so small. The problems in my neighborhood, my town, my state, my country, and the world are, at times, overwhelming.

There have been times in my life when, just looking at what’s happening within my own family, I don’t think I have what it takes.

I know that as coffee drinkers we are not supposed to like Starbucks. However, I have to say that I appreciate (1) the Wifi, (2) the convenience, (3) and the dark roast. Yes, I am a Philistine.

The #OldGal heater continues, but her 3 was not able to beat my 2!

Good morning! May the audacity of grace leave you in awe today. #MorningMug

I love watching him play baseball. It is so hard to believe this is the final season.

The Sheer Audacity of Grace - Healing the Undeserving

The following conversation that Jesus has with a man who was an “invalid” for 38 years leaves me scratching my head. I think this is partially because it is a setup for the next conversation in the story. But, it is also difficult because in many ways, it just does not go as I expect it to.

This feels like the perfect first “reblog” for me to post on the Micro Social app!

I am trying out a new to me feature on my site, photo collections. Here’s one I just popped together for our North Carolina trip.

A window displays a logo for Tarboro Coffee House with indoor seating and potted plants visible inside.A smiling couple poses outdoors near a river with a railway bridge and trees in the background.A baseball game is underway with a pitcher mid-throw, a batter ready to hit, and an umpire and catcher positioned behind home plate.Two people are smiling and posing together at a baseball game, standing on a bleacher with the field in the background.A baseball game is taking place at night, with a batter, catcher, and umpire visible, while spectators watch from the stands.A baseball game is in progress with the batter preparing to hit and players positioned on the field.A glass of beer with a logo sits on a wooden table next to a menu.

  1. I made a delicious meal.
  2. I read a fantastic book.

Good morning! May you reach out to that person who has been on your mind the last few days. #MorningMug
