Sometimes you go to the gym because it is just good for you. It’s not easy. But it’s the right thing.

The #OldGal with a strong showing today by scoring a 4. She defeats me. Are there any #YoungPup 3s?
Good morning! May you choose to respond with loving kindness to the circumstances you find yourself in today. #MorningMug
Building on the Rock - Practicing Faith for Life's Storms
What do you do when life gets tough? Do you retreat to bed, declaring it a “no good, very bad day,” hoping tomorrow will be better? If so, we might never leave our beds. Daily, we encounter trouble, hardship, heartache, and suffering, even amidst blessings. The news constantly reminds us of the world’s unending problems.
How do we respond? We cannot perpetually hide, waiting for an easy life. The storms inevitably come, and we often live with a sense of impending trouble, even when things are good.
In the quest to press against rising authoritarianism (for this is indeed what we are seeing and it is reminiscent of the similar rise that took place post WWI in the US as well) in the United States the hardest part is differentiating the signal from the noise.
A key strategy for the authoritarian is to flood the zone with noise so that their political enemies and the public are distracted from the things that matter.
When everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.
When the real crisis comes it is ignored because it gets lumped into all the other noise.
Be wise. Be discerning. Be vigilant.

A five from the #OldGal this morning too. I am hopeful for the #YoungPups to come through!
Good morning! The picture doesn’t do the sky justice this morning. It is overwhelmingly beautiful. May you glimpse the beauty around you today. #MorningMug
New note by Daniel Rose
Tuesdays are becoming very full days. I like it.
It’s pretty humbling to see how AI takes your sermon transcript and edits down from 4300 words to 700.
Trampolines and Broken Bricks - Reimagining Faith Beyond 'Should Have Known'
“You should have known better.”
Have you ever heard that before? Man, I feel like I have heard it a ton. Perhaps it is the result of being the oldest of three brothers. Or maybe it’s because I present myself as someone who knows all the things and is pretty confident. Whatever the reason, “You should have known better.” is a phrase that I have heard often.

The #OldGal has posted a 4, while crushing me, she stood no chance to myriad of 3s from the #YoungPups!
Good morning! May you be fully present with those around you today. #MorningMug
This was such a fun read. I am excited to continue exploring this world in Oathbringer. Finished reading: Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson 📚

The #OldGal also birdied today with a 3 of her own. Hopefully, we score a lucky 2 by a #YoungPup.
Good morning! May you seek to be the good in someone’s day. #MorningMug
