As nerdy academic man with a Canadian accent who cries easily, I don't like what Jordan Peterson is doing to our vibe.

Thoughts on balancing the desire to change the world with the fact you are a finite being:

"Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection." - Saint Augustine

The media tries to tell us that people who like exactly like Olivia Coleman or Saoirse-Monica Jackson or Phoebe Waller-Bridge or Kristen Bell are just irresistibly attracted to clergy. And I solemnly promise you that is not happening out here. 🤷‍♂️

But one can pray?

It can be challenging in my personal life, because I really feel like people absolutely need to stop talking about their feelings after 61 minutes... (Including me, by the way.)

I don't know that this is actually a useful professional strength, given that I have a watch, but I'm a little proud of it.

I have no reliable sense of the passage of time EXCEPT in any pastoral care/therapy session, no matter my role in it, I can always tell you blindfolded when the 25, 50, or absolute 60 minute mark has elapsed.
