  • Enjoying this locally-roasted coffee spotted in the supermarket the other day.

  • Dunkin’ has now gone to the dark side; they’re selling Pepsi products now in my area.

  • 🎵 My 13yo son is on an 80s music kick and I couldn’t be more proud.

  • 🍿 Introduced Ang Lee’s Hulk to my son today. We agreed that it holds up well as a thoughtful and character-driven superhero film. We loved the visual style that really sought to capture the feel of a horror comic.

  • St. Paul said,

    “…the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.” (Romans 5:15, ESV)

    Adam’s sin spread to every human because the fundamental relationships between humans were irreparably broken in that instance. We fell down a hole that we could not dig ourselves out of.

    Christ’s salvation spreads to every human because his act of forgiveness does the exact opposite. As we simply trust in Christ, he empowers and energizes every person to follow him in forgiveness in the Spirit.

    Humanity is being healed and hauled out of the graves we have dug for ourselves.

    “Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.” (Romans 5:18, ESV)

    Thanks be to God!

    From a sermon I preached at Desert Mission Anglican Church.

  • Psalm 67

    Deus misereatur

    1

    May God be merciful unto us, and bless us, *

    and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us.

    2

    Let your way be known upon earth, *

    your saving health among all nations.

    3

    Let the peoples praise you, O God; *

    indeed, let all the peoples praise you.

    4

    O let the nations rejoice and be glad, *

    for you shall judge the peoples righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

    5

    Let the peoples praise you, O God; *

    let all the peoples praise you.

    6

    Then shall the earth bring forth her increase, *

    and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.

    7

    God shall bless us, *

    and all the ends of the world shall fear him.

    The New Coverdale Psalter

  • I told ChatGPT: Write a short prayer for Christian unity in the style of the Book of Common Prayer, 1662.

    Result: O merciful God, who hast taught us in thy holy Word, that thou dost not delight in division, but in the unity of thy Church: grant, we beseech thee, unto thy whole Church in paradise and on earth, that, being all joined together in the same faith and in the same love, they may be united in heart and in soul, and may be one, as thou and thy Son Jesus Christ are one; who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen.
