Guys, I can't believe this. This whole time, St. Paul endorsed the despicable sin of empathy. He even said we shouldn't keep our mercy and service exclusively to other Christians, but should "love our enemies?!?!" I don't know how we can allow Romans 12 to remain part of God's Word.
![Romans 12:14-21 ESV
[14] Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. [15] Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. [16] Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. [17] Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. [18] If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. [19] Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” [20] To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” [21] Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lbnuo5lxmdxijbztxubw2izl/bafkreihvjctrzkrc3qtqnre6t2na4gg2ypf336zcy67utc2tshvhfsuof4@jpeg)

Was out walking with the baby spending time in prayer. Came across a tree with at least four Harris's hawks in it (though only three appear in the shot). Was pretty #neat

Not a pet pic (too many allergies) but this giraffe from my oldest's field trip fits the silly bill and brings me joy.

My lovely wife helped melt down the sugar to make this a rather sturdy creation. And my daughters did an incredible job working together to decorate.

Today's grub included steam buns and Dan Dan noodles, plus a Guatemalan enchilada from the place where we bought tamales. Safe to say it's a good day.

Speaking of my bike ride, I didn't crash this time! Helps to go out during the day. Still need to adjust the bike and lower the handlebars but feel great about the secondhand purchase. #cycling

Really liked the view I caught of the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona. This was shot from Cathedral Rock on a gorgeous fall morning.

I'll never get sick of Sedona. Well... Maybe the traffic. But not the other parts.

Oh nothing just "fixing" a broken water main in the desert and grappling with existential guilt about living in a place where I frequently shake my fist at God.

In Phoenix, you never know what little gems your car might pick up by simply taking a little twirl around town. Take this melted asphalt, for instance, who decided that sweltering under the brutal sun wasn't nearly as thrilling as hitching a ride to my tire.
