Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 63 - New International Version Psalm 63 - A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no...

Psalm in Question: "You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water." www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

Psalm 63 ends with "the mouths of the liars will be silenced," which I've always applied not just to the lies of the times we're in but also to those in my head. A mental health verse and prayer.

Who robbed the Louvre? Wrong answers only.

Friends, it is rough right now for many of us. I urge all of us to remember; We are loved, We are who we were made to be no matter what anyone says, and that this world is so much better with us in it.

Also? Your brain is a goddamn liar. We want you here. 🫶

It's hard for me not to get sad in the Fall as the days get darker. In a way, it's an act of discipline to find joy in the amazing colors God offers at this time. I got to do that on a walk with my wife today. I do love this piece of Earth where I get to live. I hope you saw some amazing colors too.

My youngest daughter's reading has meant that we take a deep dive into some serious historical research.

External threats to privacy are real. But the biggest threat to privacy is the widespread conviction that your private life is on display. That wouldn't be so bad if your definition of "on display" was grounded in the God-fearing worry that He is watching you. But that's not the definition people are using. It's the idea that people are paying attention to you. And negative attention in this brave new world is better than no attention at all.

continued:

"When the test for a statement's validity ceases to be "Is it true?" or "Is it decent?" and is instead "Will it get a reaction from people?" you shouldn't be surprised if people lose the ability to discern truth or care about it all. Over time, for some, truth loses its real meaning. It becomes a misnomer because what people really mean is "something that gets attention" Candace Owens and similar gargoyles say terrible things about Jews, I suspect in no small part, because she thinks if Jews protest, it must be because she's "on to something" It's a moral universe where slander doesn't exist because complaining about slander is treated like confirmation rather than rebuttal. There is no truth, so we're all free to create whatever version of reality we want and we'll just call that the truth until a more profitable narrative emerges."

I was trying to remember where I learned in homeschool history class about a particular Revolutionary War slogan today and had to chuckle when I located it

Oh hell yeah, I’m in the Big Apple, baby!

Update - she also made Zwiebelkuchen today. The perfect Herbst dish.

Spectacular. One thing I miss about living in the States is being able to witness this, but it is a thrill to wake up to.

Let's hear it for Orlando friends! (And the picked the right month to do that)

Are watching a revival? Or something more like a religious revolution? @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social asks.

'A revolution can make you feel alive with purpose, and when the revolution has religious elements, it can flood you with the burning conviction that you are doing God’s will.'

Cubs fans right now:

"Congress has rendered itself into a studio audience for the Trump show... but the trend predates him by decades." Great article and reminder that the US will not get out of this without a more courageous congress - institutionally, not just politically.

Well worth reading. "`I spent an extra hour with a patient today in my busy clinic schedule, discussing all of the misinformation and all of the fear that the parent felt, ...` she said, noting the parent was getting her information from TikTok."

Yes, but no rotary or long, coily cable, unfortunately.
