"Pretty much nothing separates us from human beings in earlier eras than how much less disease affects us. . . . If we moderns lived for one year with the sort of death rates our pre-industrial age ancestors perpetually lived with, we’d be in societal shock." - Dan Carlin

This kind of “traveling” is overrated. Tourist destinations are all the same. A resort in Florida is like a resort anywhere else. These kinds of people think they’ve “seen the world” but they’ve seen less of the world than someone who reads books instead.

The aggravating part about Patrick Mahomes is that after he makes the most athletic, back-breaking play he jogs like your uncle at the tail end of the family Turkey Bowl.

Isaac of Nineveh, one of the desert fathers, wrote:

“He who is aware of his sins is greater than one who can raise the dead.
Whoever can weep over himself for one hour is greater than the one who is able to teach the whole world; whoever recognizes the depth of his own frailty is greater than the one who sees visions of angels.”

“What I’ve learned from my sobriety, from the men and women who keep me sober, is how to pray. Blind drunks who get sober get a kind of blind faith—not so much a vision of who God is, but who God isn’t, namely me.”

— Thomas Lynch

Paradise Misplaced.

In Psalm 23, the writer changes from addressing the Shepherd in terms of a "he-me" relationship ("he makes me lie down, he leads me," etc.) at the beginning of the Psalm to a "you-me" relationship in the middle of his darkest valley ("you are with me"). It turns out that the deeper you get into the valley the closer the Savior.

Got the chance to visit with @mrajswoboda about his new book The Gift of Thorns. I think this book will probably be one of the most important spiritual formation reads this year. Here's his book... buy it! https://t.co/5GxGaLyekA
