The #OldGal crushed me today with a 3! I have a feeling the #YoungPups might be in a world of hurt today.

The #OldGal was off her game today and scored a 5! I have not seen a #YoungPup score worse than a 4. Could we have a magical sweep?
Good morning! May you start this new week with a bit of hope and optimism. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

Not a great showing with an unforced error in line three.
The #OldGal pulled a solid 4. Dear #YoungPups, may the odds be ever in your favor.
The #OldGal came in hot today with a three! I sit here feeling like someone whose partner called up hearts when I have a loaner in spades.

#YoungPups unite!
Iβm looking forward to be speaking at the Cornerstone EPC Menβs Retreat this weekend. I will be teaching from Luke 15:11-35 (The story of the two sons).
The retreat theme is βConfidenceβ and Iβm going to draw the distinction between being a βConfidence Manβ and a βConfident Man.β

The #OldGal dropped a 4 today due to an unforced error. Her tea must have been lackluster. Team #YoungPups unite!
Jesusβ response to suffering people and to βnobodiesβ provides a glimpse into the heart of God. God is not the unmoved Absolute, but rather the Loving One who draws near.from: [The Jesus I Never Knew](https://micro.blog/books/9780310295815) by Philip Yancey π
This might be one of the most challenging concepts for many American Christians to wrap our minds around. We have been told for so long that God is non-emotional. Yet, in the person of Jesus, we see God draw near in love. This is the consistent response of Jesus in the Gospels to the people who are on the “outside.”
Itβs killing me to be in Michigan while he is in Arizona playing ball. But, thereβs not much better than seeing your kid do what they love. βΎοΈ
Good morning! May you push through whatever obstacles youβre facing today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

The #OldGal got a 3. #YoungPups, I got you.
This is not her week.

Indeed, the kingdom of God will grow on earth as the church creates an alternative society demonstrating what the world is not, but one day will be: Barthβs prescription of βa new sign which is radically dissimilar to [the worldβs] own manner and which contradicts it in a way which is full of promise.βFrom: [The Jesus I Never Knew](https://micro.blog/books/9780310295815) by Philip Yancey π
I imagine this alternative society would look vastly different from what we see today.
Somehow, the #OldGal dropped a 5! This means that a lackluster 4 gets the job doneb done today for me. But the scores from #YoungPups are also looking strong!

If you’re into sermons, here’s mine from this past Sunday about loving your enemies… ordinary jesus - did it stutter?
