Anyone else sore today?

9 years ago today, my newborn son was rushed into emergency surgery while my wife and I clung to each other and collapsed into the waiting arms of our community to make it through unimaginable and unanticipated grief and anxiety.

while in the waiting room for my car, I've observed a lady in her 60s watching a youtube-algorithm-generated string of videos/ads for over 20min

I haven’t tied a double Windsor knot in forever - only took 8 tries to get the length right 🙂

@MikeMcKeeDrums totally agree. i was just lamenting this yesterday, as a tremendous #StarWars nerd who is going to Galaxy's Edge for the first time this summer (ssshhh, the kids don't know yet)

@RELEVANT @HeyWorship you see this foolishness? If they come for you, I’ve got your back.

[David Calvert @davidJcalvert]

So, @WorshipLeader - your branding company is seriously sending cease and desist to folks who are worship leaders and use that term in their branding…? Tell me I misread that @RELEVANT article

@dustinkensrue @Thrice There was a huge spectrum of scholars in the room, so there was a lot of great discussion. I brought up ‘Beyond the Pines’ and ‘Unitive/East’ as important theological and musicological contrasts. Btw, pumped to see you guys in May at Cat’s Cradle 🙂

My favorite paper presented today - check it out, @dustinkensrue @Thrice

[David Calvert @davidJcalvert]

@dustinkensrue @Thrice The author and I talked about that - he didn’t describe Thrice that way in the paper, but didn’t clean it out of the abstract until it was already submitted.

Day 1 of SCSM conference for me: the ‘worshipscape’ of a rural Baptist church in FL, the gatekeepers for contemporary worship in the music industry, & performance choices of David Crowder—plus a phenomenal keynote on the importance of Black spirituals for the whole Church.
