Pleased to report that β€œdutiful daughter, all her plans were laid” also made its way into the final cut.

Preaching on Ruth 4 tomorrow and I think only 2 people in the congregation will recognise the (slightly modified) line β€œsoon enough the elders had convened down at the city gate”, but I’m excited about it nonetheless.

Beanie, UK. But beanie + pom pom = bobble hat.

I’m obsessed that chatGPT crashes if you try and make it say β€œDavid Mayer” and nobody understands why.

This was my feeble attempt at finding a loophole, others have tried much more sophisticated methods, ciphers etc.

To be honest Lewis, referring to people who disagreed with one of your tweets indiscriminately as β€œElon lads” didn’t help the online discourse much.

I've just looked up which supermarket sells it cheapest (Tesco), so at this point it could be either.

p.s. I'm still sorry about Mrs Landingham. I just rewatched 18th and Potomac, and was delighted to realise I'm still carrying the guilt from that Appleby day 12 years later.

Put broadly, this was my experience in The Other Place

β€’ Too β€œconservative” for progressive Christian Twitter
β€’ Too β€œprogressive” for conservative Christian Twitter.
β€’ Too much politics & religion for Taylor Swift Twitter.
β€’ Too much Taylor Swift for pretty much everyone else.

Made a start on my Christmas shopping!

(it’s a gift to me from me, but is different from all the other stuff I buy myself because I made it ✨festive✨)

This would be a better argument (against slippery slopes) had we not expanded the provision of abortion services in the last 4 years to cover at-home scenarios without properly ensuring that the original safeguards in the 1967 act are met.

If we were having a debate on the death penalty and a person of faith expressed their opposition based on their belief in the sanctity of all life, I have a feeling that the secular left wouldn’t have nearly as big a problem with religious people having views then they do for Assisted Suicide.

He recently pontificated on Xitter that you can’t be a conservative evangelical and be on bluesy (I had to reach behind my block to see if the screenshot was real πŸ˜‚) so I really doubt this is him.

Someone said to me afterwards β€œyour conviction that Scripture is true and that we can understand it shines through every one of your preaches” and honestly? best feedback I’ve ever had.

Just had a big bout of 1am Unpleasant Thoughtsβ„’ and while that wasn’t fun, once they were over they were over (aka they aren’t still festering at 2am), and it reminded me what a huge difference not being depressed makes. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ§

I’m preaching on Ephesians 5.15-33 tomorrow. Prep has been hard, but it’s reminded me how much I love it when churches don’t skip the hard bits of scripture, as if they are something to be feared.
