The #OldGal posts a 4 today as well.
I suppose it’s OK to give her the tie on Mother’s Day.

The #OldGal also posted a 4 today. I have a feeling it won’t hold up. But, the word hole today is real.
The pitching match up tonight in Detroit is insane. Patrick Corbin for the Rangers against the best pitcher on the planet, Tarik Skubal.
I hear Comerica is going to be packed. It’s going to have a postseason feel tonight, in May!
This is so much fun. #RepDetroit

It’s a dogpile day as the #OldGal simply keeps her streak alive with a 6!
Good morning! My hope for you today is that you will persevere through whatever circumstance you find yourself in. #MorningMug
We spent the afternoon watching some SVSU tournament baseball. The game didn’t go as planned. But hanging out with the Michigan Capitol building in the background is pretty fun.

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 us. 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.

The #OldGal and I both scored a 4 today. Excited for some #YoungPup 3s!
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)?

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.

Another day, another victory over the #OldGal. She posted a 4 today.
The first sermon in my series, Whispers of Grace. I am using the structure provided by Nijay Gupta’s, 15 New Testament Words of Life.
