How’s the game mode menu looking now? Will it be available for Mister Pi?

1 month and 4 days until my sabbatical. I’m so thankful to my church for providing me with the opportunity to reset and rest.

Jumped on this SO fast

Sweet. Any updates on when Batch 5 of the MiSTER Pi will be available to preorder?

@takiudon.bsky.social Can we get a Wave 5 update for Mister Pi?

I’m building an arcade cabinet and going with the MiSTER Pi. When is the next batch dropping?

Someone should make a Firefox plugin that automatically blocks any YT shorts that have AI voices reading scripts.

“Did you know…”
“This man…”
“Have you ever wondered…”

I want videos made by people for people of people.

Lighting design and implementation is no joke. Pros that do this for a living earn their keep!

Me: “I’m gonna be smarter about my ministry schedule in 2025!”

Also me: puts 3 out of town ministry trips on my calendar in January alone.

I understand that loneliness

Beanie. PNW and Midwest.

Freshman year of Bible College I was given the following advice by a professor:

“If you’re studying scripture and come to a conclusion that nobody else has before, it’s most likely because it’s heresy.”

“Present your evidence.” > “Do your own research!”

Bumbles bounce

I have two favorite things:

Spending time with my kids.
Spending time away from my kids.

“Oh that was wonderful!”

“Aww, thank you!”

“You want to be our pastor?”

“I am one of your pastors…”

“Yes! That’s what I…just…I enjoyed hearing you…it was wonderful!”

“Thank you, it was good to see you too.”

“Well done!”

“Thank you”

“I mean it, you’ve gotten so much better at this!”

“Oh?”

“When you’ve preached before it felt like you were talking to students instead of the church. This time was…I mean…you know it just flowed…”

“Ok”

“Practice isn’t a bad thing. But it was good. Good job.”

“Thanks”

“Where are your glasses?”

“I decided to wear my contacts today because of the microphone.”

“Oh. Well you should do that more often. You can really see the shape of your face without them.”

I’m an associate pastor. Which means I’m the #youthpastor but with a bunch more responsibility. It also means that adults often don’t know how to talk to me.

So here are some real compliments I have received in the past *from adults in my church* after I have preached on a Sunday morning…

Looking back, I blame it on end of semester panic over final grades

Fellow Christians: what explanations/interpretations have you been taught about the Nephilim (mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4)? #theology #church

I don’t understand commercials. Specifically how people get paid to create these 30 second rage inducers. Looking at you, USAA “roomie” ad.

Weekend naps are better than weekday naps

Yes, I apparently enjoy being emotionally bamboozled every season. I didn’t choose them, they chose me.

Currently working on my ministry license thesis with the help of Frame’s Systematic Theology, IVP OT/NT Commentary (Accordance), and CSB and ESV biblical text.

Now to condense my thoughts on “what is the Church” to a few paragraphs so that it fits within the page limit of the whole paper.
