I need the Tigers to get back to the Eastern timezone. This west coast stuff is dumb.
Good morning! May you notice something that is good in this world and share it. #MorningMug

Big victory for the team today as the #OldGal posts a 5! I feel a dog pile coming on, #YoungPups!
Our Tender Nerves - The Power of Care and Harm in Moral Judgment
Why do we respond to things the way we do? How do we experience the world? Jonathan Haidt, a moral psychologist, argues that we possess six “taste receptors” that shape how we perceive the world around us1. These six foundations, and the varying degrees to which we experience each, influence our understanding.
Our moral taste receptors include: Care/Harm, Fairness/Cheating, Loyalty/Betrayal, Authority/Subversion, Sanctity/Degradation, and Liberty/Oppression. Haidt posits that all of these operate within our minds, driving our emotional intuitions as we process the world. They function similarly to taste buds, but for our emotions.
Patio season is here in Michigan!

The #OldGal and I both scored a 4 today. Excited for some #YoungPup 3s!
Abbreviated workout today, but it’s better than nothing. #Discipline2025
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
Whispers of Grace - Righteousness
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 have no regrets today. #MorningMug
