Our church has been going through Acts, on that history of the early church and how God moves. Good stuff. Here's a couple weeks' points taken down.

Friday night: Migraine. Out of commission. This morning: Head fine. Proceed to throw my back out in a routine motion. Now stiff, pained, albeit recovering. If I'm supposed to feel more motivated to take better care of myself, MESSAGE RECEIVED. 😅😭

I guess sometimes I really am working for the weekend. Good morning!

Play gives rest for the mind. Games, as a set of rules agreed to temporarily, offer people a chance to explore creativity, risk, exploration, and other human dynamics within a safe environment. How we play is akin to how we live, how we learn, how we thrive. And stuff.

"the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending" is one of those sentences so hopeful you hesitate to dare embrace the swell of joy in its reading

Y'know what movie I think holds up as a family classic? Honey I Shrunk The Kids. My kids like it, anyway. On a recent watch I found myself appreciating Matt Frewer's Jim Carey-esque turn as the Thompson dad. A good time.

I don't like casual chat during the workday. But I felt I was maybe being a little *too* standoffish, so I've been intentional in being more approachable, pleasant, conversational at work. Except now I have a problem: I'm finding people talk to me more often and the conversations are longer. 😭

Did you hear about that Art Of Tetris exhibit they opened? It must be pretty popular -- lines are forming up and down the block.

Wisdom is the ability to make the right decision at the right time. Consider everything in context, think carefully. Oh but also, most people in our society freeze with inaction in the face of an unexpected event. Our larger cultural problem might be complacency, apathy. So.

Parenting is great because about once a week something happens that makes you think "I definitely should not post about this on social media, and I absolutely won't, but it was extremely funny lol."

I was a strange, difficult child. I find myself, in my reflections, growing a deep appreciation for those peers and adults who showed me kindness in my growing-up. I needed help -- and in many ways, I did get it. May we be gentle with our kids.

Hello, everyone. My seven-year-old son explained to me tonight, and I now share with you, that the name of the mermaid lady in the Starbucks logo is STARBUTTS. Thank you.

i-i made a weird little PC platformer five years ago called Octobug, it might make you angry or laugh or otherwise feel feelings, it's about a spider in a world with many flies (too many, one might say), streamers really enjoyed it, you can buy it for $3 look -- tinybookshelf.itch.io/octobug

Highly recommend being generally upbeat and helpful at work... except as concerns one hyper-specific pet peeve of yours. The palpable shift in peer demeanor as they have to approach you on the topic is really compelling stuff. Lots of fun.

It puts the lotion on it skin or else I'm going to start getting really curious as to what the heck else it would be planning to do with that lotion.
