I’ve always loved @themountaingoats.bsky.social ‘s music, but now I love their cultural analysis.
I don't WANT to preach this morning -- JD Vance is not a serious person, he lacks the intellectual chops to do this kind of work, so rewarding his thirst with response is undignified -- but the Spirit demands at least a brief bit of sermonizing

My favorite day in Intro NT is my “Here’s some bits of Stoic physics… Now here’s Paul talking about baptism and the Spirit” lecture. The red dots are πνεύμα, drawn last week in my setup lecture. Today, I draw “clothing in Christ” and “Christ formed in you” in there.

It’s one of those “Crushed moth on your student’s paper” days. My scribble reads: “Sorry (student)! A moth found its way into my grading folder and then got crushed in my bag! Sic transit gloria mundi.”
