For a long time, I’ve noticed a disconcerting trend: we seem to be losing the ability to truly talk with one another. While the internet allows us to talk to, or more accurately at, people constantly, what about genuine dialogue?
I’m so grateful for the Tuesday night gathering I host, Tap Room Tuesday. It’s a space where I believe we often talk with one another. Yet, even there, meaningful dialogue is becoming increasingly challenging.
Why is this happening?
Things move fast on the interwebs. Over the last few days my friend, @ozzy@fedi.social asked if I would be interested in starting a new project with him.
Today, we have launched our own Mastodon instance, Agora Cafe!The Agora in Ancient Greece was a gathering place where people shared their ideas.
Today, you will get a follow request from there and if you’re looking for a new instance, join us!
Good morning! As we begin a new month, I hope you will experience an abounding grace. #MorningMug

It should have been a three liner but I erred. The #OldGal also posted a 4. 😒
Good morning! May you pursue righteousness even when it comes at a cost. #MorningMug
This Sunday we will be beginning a new series of summer conversations called, “Whispers of Grace.” Each will be focused on a word from a different book of the New Testament. This week is, “righteousness” from Matthew.
Good morning! Do the hard thing today, it will be worth it. #MorningMug

The #OldGal also posted a three today. She’s back on a heater!
Lake Michigan from the wrong side, still overwhelmingly beautiful.
Also? We may have been soaked at this point because someone wanted to try to walk to a lighthouse with the wind whipping 1 billion mph. 🤭
Fifth workout of the week complete. Five week streak of five workouts per week. Ten week streak of at least three workouts per week. #Discipline2025
