@_the_last_echo_ Read it out loud and all the way through in one sitting. (Even better: Gather a group of 12 or more friends, assign parts, and read it out loud together. I have an NRSV script if you want a copy.)

@KaitlynSchiess Have you seen this? https://t.co/NAhMd7sC0x

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@JimMartin Thank you. We need this encouragement.

@KaitlynSchiess @HolyPostPodcast He always made Church a priority over performance. He knew that the heart of Jesus was with people. He ministered to common folk and celebrities alike. I think you share common ground and common wisdom with him.

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@KaitlynSchiess Honestly, I followed you on Twitter because of your insightful work on the Holy Post. But please believe me, tweets like these impact the Kingdom of Heaven even more powerfully. May the Lord keep you grounded in the messiness of "life together."

@KaitlynSchiess The mountains always impress humility on me too. But so do the stars at the end of a long hot day at a children's camp in southwestern Oklahoma. In fact, any conversation with a 9 year old longer than 15 minutes humbles me.

#WINGS left it all on the court tonight! Looking forward to an exciting season.

@KaitlynSchiess Say you are a social media influencer and then ask them, "What makes life better for your neighbors?"

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@BrianZahnd I've been following Jesus over 40 years. I don't know of anyone like him. And more importantly, I am still discovering him.

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@KaitlynSchiess I don't know your story, but I've heard your love for the local church. And whatever traumas you have weathered, you authentically witness to the power of Christ to bring shalom in clay vessels. Thank you.

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@JimMartin The s is a difficult word when my grown children are now post-Christian. Do Ilmy wife and I witness through our holding on to deep nurturing relationship with them?

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@bigtallrob Such a beautiful couple! Inside and out!

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@KaitlynSchiess Thank you. I appreciate you for pointing us to excellent primary sources.

[Ron Johns, Jr. @ronjohns2]

@JimMartin I have come to count on reading your tweets every week. As a 20+ year preacher, they restore my passion and lift my spirit. Thank you kind sir.

@KaitlynSchiess Now with experience of God's faithful leading, find comfort when the road ahead seems unclear. And, check yourself when you feel absolutely sure you know what you're doing next.

Just finishing the audio book. Context helps, but this mantra will lead me for a while.
