As a Christian, today's Super Bowl got me thinking about how my expectations for spiritual growth can be affected by a culture in love with winning it all. Read about it here: embracewhatmatters.substack.com/p/the-super-... #SuperBowlLIX #SuperBowl

We're in for a cold week, but I got a warm cat on my lap, a crackling fireplace on the TV (YouTube), and a burning desire for peace and good will throughout the world.

So, settle a debate for me: Is it "Augustine" or "Augustine"?

I saw David Lynch has passed. While I haven’t watched many of his darker films, his movie "The Straight Story" is among my all-time favorites. Slowness. Simplicity. Up-close humanity. The deeply endearing, Richard Farnsworth. I truly loved this film.

@drmoore.bsky.social Loved your Advent piece in the latest CT. It reminded me of how I framed the eulogy I recently delivered for my father, but didn't fully articulate as you did with Romans 8. For believers, the pangs of death are really the pangs of birth. My dad knows that now better than me.

This is what AI thinks I look like. Also, I'm not sure why there's a choir in the background.

@kateshellnutt.bsky.social My wife was inspired to send physical Christmas cards this year. She said it was more labor-intensive than she remembered, but absolutely worth it. We've received several cards in return, and she's re-connected with many family members and friends.

@bethmoorelpm.bsky.social Who wins the NBA cup game tonight, Beth? Your Rockets or my Warriors? I actually heard that there’s a benefit to losing. If you win it all (this mini tournament), players bank some extra money. But if you don't, you're playing extra games, which is tough on players' bodies.

@bethmoorelpm.bsky.social One of Jimmy Butler's preferred destinations, it's being reported, is Houston. Would you want him? :)

My latest book is on sale through the New Year. $5.99 for the paperback and $2.99 for the ebook. It'd make a great Christmas gift or grab one for yourself. :) a.co/d/f2IT084 #Christmasgifts #books #booksky

It's remarkable that at the end of the day when I don't think I have it in me to solve yet another problem, I usually wake up the next morning ready to do it all again.
