Getting ready to hop on the pod a little later. I don’t typically record these in my office at the church, but this is one of those days where it’s good to have some flexibility. Really looking forward to this conversation. More soon!

The water at the creek was high today! We desperately needed the rain. Bellsy was very eager to investigate.

Hanging out at Kofenya this morning, trying to get a head start on my sermon. Some light rain outside. I’m a little sleepy. Happy Tuesday, y’all.

Nice hang, SC. See you again at Thanksgiving. BTW - the shirt is David Lynch.

What is there really to say about folks predicting the rapture? Other than their flawless, unbroken track record of getting it wrong over 2,000 years?

Last week, I was gently informed by a Gen Z college student here in the Ox Box that what I’m into might have been cool back when I was in high school, but it’s not cool today. Bestie, I’ve got news for you. It wasn’t cool back when I was in high school either. #CollegeTown

Editing Land today. Working on the next episode of "Don't Encourage This." I've had this interview in the can for the last two weeks, but I'm woefully behind getting it finished. #ChurchLife I'm really excited to share this with you all, hopefully next week. It's a rich conversation! #triennium2025

Snapped this selfie in my bike ride this afternoon. No, the bike was not in motion when I took it. I was pulled over for a quick break. But I kinda like it. Enjoying this great weather for good exercise while it lasts.

Just finished up a committee meeting with the presbytery over Zoom, and now the home office is set up for "podcast mode” in the morning. I'm excited to hop on the pod tomorrow with one of the preachers from this year's Presbyterian Youth Triennium. WHO COULD IT BE? #DontEncourageThis #PYT2025

I'm missing a 35th Anniversary screening of the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie this week because a church meeting popped up on my calendar, and I can't get out of it. I just wanted you all to know. #TheSacrificesIMakeForJesus

I would rather have an early colonoscopy than see Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ” sequels.
