A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

@jewyorican.bsky.social Don’t know if you saw this story about an evil neighbor who “sold” an elderly man’s bees. Fortunately a lawyer is representing the man pro bono and the bee community is Yelp bombing the neighbor’s business. www.threads.com/@kattretina/...

@cruftbox.com You may find this interesting. www.derekthompson.org/p/the-monks-... I think it underplays the negative sides of many men’s lives in the past - alcoholism, mindlessly watching TV. “Today’s kids are worse than ever!” But spot on, need to fix gambling epidemic and home affordability.

@cruftbox.com The Beekeeper was a surprisingly good movie! I’m glad you guys have all that secret agent stuff to fight for justice. Is there really such a thing as a queen killer?

@jewyorican.bsky.social Did you ever see the documentary, The World Before Your Feet? It’s about a guy who walked every block of the 5 boroughs, over a few years, including all the parks and beaches. Kinda cool. It’s on Amazon Prime.
