@owroot We’ve stopped returning ours. Life’s too short to spend it standing there returning cans for a dime.

[Jack Peach | Dynastic Dating @ThinkInPeach]

One reason for this:

Regret due to being behind.

No guy who has a great marriage and kids feels this.

He enjoys each season as the natural state of life.

I’ve been posting on X for over two years now and finally took the chance to write about why I started the account

A manifesto of sorts

@AlanShipnuck @sfo @CompassSFO Random Q- but do you ever get funny looks or questions from people when you start writing in a book then put it back? Haha

Is there any better card than the OG Zard to Pokémon collectors?

This one’s gotta be the grail.

There was a deliberate effort in the late 90's, early aughts to make houses easy to resell. Neutral became the goal and personalization was an error. So we stopped making homes and started swapping assets. Kind of like the temporary implication in the emergent phrase "based in [city name]," modern people are too cool to be tethered to a place. Upgrading must always be on the table. We design our houses as the pit stops they are.

Do you remember these? My parents still have this at their house. It was these very microplastics that made me the man I am today.

Agreed, but there's lot of "alsos" that Jesus taught. We're both trinitarian, so we both believe He also taught the whole Bible. Not just the Gospels or New Testament. Christ is therefore also the God that sent the Jews into Canaan as His urban renewal program. He is also the God that dropped a WMD on Sodom and Gomorrah. He is also the God that demanded justice for the poor and afflicted through Amos. He is also the God that through Ezekiel condemned those who didn't warn the people of their sin. He is also the God that demanded mass deportations to stave off foreign influence in the culture. He is also the God that demanded kindness to the foreigner just passing through. He is also the God that sent Nebuchadnezzar to punish the Israelites for casting their babies into the demonic fires at the Valley of Topheth. He is also the God that took the Egyptian babies as punishment for their enslavement of the Israelites. He is also the God that answered David's imprecatory prayers against his enemies. He is also the God that died for His own enemies (like you and me).

How do we reconcile all of these things simultaneously? We cannot. We are finite beings incapable of fully grasping how the only transcendent being in all the cosmos can ultimately be all-loving, all-holy, all-merciful, all-truth, and all-justice all at the same time. The greatest truth to know in this world is God is God, and I am not. All the humility it takes to know all the truth worth knowing starts from there.

The danger here is when we elevate the "alsos" that we can pick and choose as snapshots of Christ's character/precedents to support our narratives at the time. All of us can be guilty of it at any given time. Myself very much included. This is why we need hierarchy, accountability, headship, etc.

Which is also why we have to keep coming back to the constant, which outweighs all the "alsos" and even puts them in their proper context. The heart of the Bible, prophetic HIStory, and the Gospel is the following: We are sinners (which is why there is injustice in the world at all and at times war is sadly necessary). We therefore require an atonement that will deem our repentance worth even considering by God. The only atonement that offers us the redemption we all require is Christ on the Cross. And we can tell who has been (and is being) redeemed by seeing the fruit of regeneration (or Christlikeness) in their lives.

@owroot It seems like there’s this thought that permeates everywhere today - everyone used to be energized and no longer is for some reason. Also that being tired is bad. No, tired means you’ve done something. Go to bed at a decent time and rest. Then get up and go again.
