@MichaelRWear Where are you tracking those numbers? I’m interested in how that is tracking throughout the night.

@mypancreasbroke @BrianZahnd Start with Crime and Punishment. I find it an easier entry point and a very engaging read.

[Kevin Sneed @ksneed]

Beautiful, challenging, tragic. A good read for Christians and pastors alike. Thanks @karabettis !

Keller was a gift to the church. His intellect and keen cultural commentary for the gospel in a secular age has been inspiring and transformative in my academic and pastoral vocation. Most of all his winsome humility was a needed reprieve from the common outrage of our discourse.

@brenick77 No. They are better when they control the tempo and spread the floor. Warriors are better in the half-court against the Kings. Kings are better with pace and in transition. Kings won’t shoot this poorly from 3 again in the series. Game 4 will be an incredible game.

@mikeerre Great conversation on gun violence. Sounds like you’ve certainly already read Walter Wink, but have you read the work of Glen Stassen? Specifically his work “Just Peacemaking.” It’s his anabaptist take on non-violence and what he calls the “waging of peace.”

@dankimball @RethinkLucas I’d love that as well, if it’s okay, I’ll email you also.

(3/3) It also creates a trap—a collective action problem—for girls and for parents. Each girl might be worse off quitting Instagram even though all girls would be better off if everyone quit.”

As a parent of two girls, that last line is haunting.

(1/3) Troubling but important article from @JonHaidt demonstrating the causal (not correlative) link between social media use and teen girls suicidal ideation and depression.

(2/3) This is a growing systemic issue that can’t be unraveled by individual choice/resistance...“What we see in this second case is that social media creates a cohort effect: something that happened to a whole cohort of young people, including those who don’t use social media...

@Samuelthepiper I just don’t know if you’ll be able to overcome the challenges of distribution and shipping at that weight. And I worry about customer retention. And so for those reasons, I’m out.

The PhD journey is a grind. The discipline, focus, and grit needed to keep moving forward is more than anticipated.

Recently I lost 50 pages of a paper - just disappeared, gone. Just devastating. But yesterday I finished the 1st draft of a full re-write. Onward!
