Sometimes you just need to climb up a mountain. Thank God California has plenty to choose from.

I think I found my future obituary photo!

The perfect way to spend the day off. A hike to a quiet Alpine lake and a good book. Life and Art by Richard Russo is a thoughtful read that I’d highly recommend.

A Methodist pastor and Catholic priest go on a hike. That’s it. That’s the story.

I just finished Culture Care by @iamfujimura.bsky.social
I’m not an artist, but found this book inspiring in so many ways. It’s the kind of book that will resonate for a long while. It reminds me that we need not just to care for our own souls, but for the soul of our culture.

I found a show at the local theatre I’ve been wanting to check out for a long time. So we saw Vanessa Collier tonight and she blew the roof off the joint!

A book that will make you think, make you appreciate, will educate you, and may just move you into a new practice of care for nature.
As someone who has always felt connected to the divine when immersed in nature, I found Karen Armstrong’s Sacred Nature resonating and also challenging.

I’m astounded how some people think this is not child endangerment but gender-affirming care is.

My wife and I went to Sacramento to join the Transgender Unity Rally. It was good to see people showing up to care for and support one another in these bleak times.

#Geocaching gives me an excuse to go down to the creek in January.

A few years ago I sat in on a lecture by Anna Carter Florence. Man next me says her book completely changed his preaching.

Well, I finally got around to reading Preaching as Testimony. It’s not a book about form or style, it’s about preaching as God empowers us to tell what we’ve seen and believed
