The #OldGal took me to task and rocked a 3 today! The grandkid bounce is real folks! #YoungPups we need a 2!


Good morning! Today is Maundy Thursday, may we consider the importance of community in our times of hardship. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

I think, I am going to pull my long form writing out and post it on a dedicated subdomain. Now, what should I call it? Writing? Essays? I need y’all input.


She looked through her reflection out of the window and watched him pace. The decision to be made was his and his alone. Truth is both #ugly and beautiful. There is nothing more difficult than standing in the tension of the two. She wondered, could he hold the tension or not?

The #OldGal came in hot today with a 3! I am confident it is a grandchildren bump. She’s in Baltimore this week for Easter with my youngest brother’s family. #YoungPups, we are going to need a 2!


Good morning! On this Wednesday of Holy Week, may you consider the limitless faithfulness of the Divine. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

I am thinking about how to better organize my content. Currently, danielmrose.com is my hub with short and long form posts (essays). I have thekjd.net that hosts my daily-ish Scripture reflections. I would welcome advice…


Now more than ever he wished the old man was still around. If anyone would know how to #caress the words needed it would have been him. These days, more than any others, the loss of the old man was like a chasm in his soul.

Happy Oberon Day to all who celebrate!


"Yes, there was a whiff of triumph on Palm Sunday, but not the kind of triumph that might impress Rome and not the kind that impressed crowds in Jerusalem for long either. What manner of king was this?"

From: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey πŸ“š

This week, let us consider the different manner of king that Jesus was.


He took a draw from the pipe and felt the slight burn of the smoke through his nostrils. His stare was fixed on the large oak tree. There was a single leaf gently fluttering in the breeze. A deep knowing that he was to become both a #vessel of joy and pain was overwhelming.

The #OldGal kept her streak alive but that’s about all can be said for her 6! #YoungPups let’s sweep!


Good morning! Today is the beginning of Holy Week. May you consider the overwhelming divine grace this week. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

He stood and walked to the railing of the porch as the sun dipped below the trees. Knowing that the decision was inevitable irritated his soul like a #blister. While this moment was imbued with peace the coming moments would not be. #wss366 #MicroFiction

The #OldGal also scored a 4, likely she is feeling bad about her Golden Grizzlies losing in the tournament yesterday.

Perhaps a #YoungPup will pop a two or three today!


Good morning! May you choose to connect with others today in a shared sense of community. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

Jesus himself had mixed feelings during the clamorous parade. Luke reports that as he approached the city he began to weep. He knew how easily a mob could turn. Voices who shout β€œHosanna!” one week can shriek β€œCrucify him!” the next.

From: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey πŸ“š

As we step into holy week this quote has been on my mind. Particularly, “how easily a mob could turn.”

Would I have turned?

Would I have shouted “Hosanna!” and then shrieked, “Crucify!”?


Definitely going to have the split screen going this afternoon for Michigan State/UNC and Wings/Predators.

What a fun day of sports ahead!


If you’re on micro.blog, I would encourage you to check out @Mtt’s Tiny Theme. It is really, really good. He continues to improve it as well.


Even in the moment of peace, as he rocked slowly, the #weight of the decision was ever present. He tried to be fully aware of the moment. The focus of his attention was on the heat from the bowl of his pipe and sound of his own breathing.
