I never said the book is good. I said I loved it. Those two are VERY different things

What is up with @accuweather lately?!? Over the past few days every time it's raining and I check the minutecast or the radar it says it's not raining...but it's literally down-pouring outside! ⛈

Nighttime reminders:

You did your best today.

One more glass of water before bed would be good.

A square of chocolate or a cup of tea with some honey are a really nice way to end a day.

The iceberg model (e.g.: the “iceberg” success memes) hasn’t been resonating with me lately for a few reasons, so I’ve been experimenting with different imagery. I’m thinking a lot of roots, extending beyond what is frame-able…all that is unseen but still a part of who we are.

Not everyone will choose you.
But I hope you choose you.

Today + every day you are worthy of care.

I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two-
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

- Langston Hughes

He forgives when provoked. He loves when hated. He gives favor in the face of ingratitude. Slaves are made sons. Enemies are made friends. Heirs of wrath are made co-heirs with Christ. Haters are changed into the beloved. His love is unmatched. His grace is overwhelming.

I love owning more books than I can read. I love being surrounded by countless stories and options. I love having a personal library that has something to suit my every mood. I love having many books to give away to people who need them more.

Quite a morning.

Gee I sure hope the day I wake up at 4 am to go to the airport isn't the day the FAA's critical Notice to Air Missions system experiences a historic outage. Now to sit down at my gate and read the news

So many churches in the U.S. canceled Sunday services because of Christmas. Meanwhile in Ukraine, churches under Russian occupation continue to meet daily to pray together— even when all their pastors had to evacuate due to threats to their lives.

Dunno, man. Something is off.

Only 13 more days until the days start getting longer. Hold on. The light is coming back.
