Being 45 means waking up one day realizing you have no idea where your Inside Wants Out CD is, you can’t find the EP on streaming, and you’re too old to start bootlegging. Relatedly, I miss Napster/Limewire

A lesser known joy of living outside the USA is when the DMV insists you have to renew your drivers license in person, even though your license is already Real ID compliant and you should be able to renew online. It’s the best. I love it.

I didn’t attend a single Intro to Psych class in college, read the textbook in one night, and got a 97 on the final—the highest grade in the class. I can now barely focus longer than 10 minutes. If you’re wondering what phones do to your brain

Watching people I admired when young bend over backwards to defend someone who is comically evil and certainly inept has been the defining sorrow of my adulthood

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

There is always a 50% chance the intro to Psycho Killer by Talking Heads might turn out to be the Fraggle Rock theme tune. And that’s a large part of the appeal.

Me, over my shoulder, sprinting back and forth, breathing fast and shallow: Please excuse my zoomies—I just watched King Théoden’s speech to the Rohirrim on the Pelennor Fields

Composure, Saints! This is a vital witness to our faith in Christ in any era of chaos. Upon waking, let us meet with Jesus and trade our fear & anger for his courage & compassion. Rely on God. Read Scripture. Be brave. Pray valiantly. Act like grownups. Help the hurting. Love defiantly.

I don’t make much money. But I do make fan money. I will never ever in my life remember to buy another fan while out running errands. I will move our one box fan from room to room until I shuffle off this mortal coil or Christ returns.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

I’m enamored with used books. Who was S. Zafar Iqbal? Did he sell his books? Give them away? Die? And how did it end up in a used bookstore in Nairobi? Every book has a life

An Instagram ad keeps trying to get me to buy a fancy watch roll to protect my timepieces. Listen up, Zuck: I’ve worn the same Garmin watch every single day since 2019 and I occasionally sniff the canvas watchband because we’re all a lil weird. What makes you think I own deluxe timepieces?

In 2025, instead of buying more books I’m reading every unread book in my home library. This morning I spilled coffee on the first book. Which means I must buy more books, right? Right.
