I’m starting a longer and more ambitious writing project; perhaps it will even become a book. It’s about digital discipline in the church. I see a massive need for digital discipline and have been spending my time looking for resources and conviction. What I’ve found is surprisingly scant and simple. Yet, our society has been flipped on its head by changes in digital behavior...
I don’t think Christians talk about Climate change enough. Unfortunately, if climate and society continues on the path we’re on and Christians choose to do nothing, history may blame today’s Christians for the ideology that is causing it. I’ve started to compile some thoughts to get the conversation going, putting scriptures to thoughts, and I would encourage you to do the...
Baking Cookies When my mother asked me to bake cookies with her, the “with her” part was more important than the “cookies” part. If I made the cookies on my own and gave them to her, she might be pleased with the initiative, but… I missed the point. I think about this simple lesson often. There are many things that we consider doing for people that we should consider doing with them. There...
Sharks not Whales Many of us have experienced a strange thing. After a vacation or a weekend that we intended to be refreshing and exhilarating, we’re more tired than we started. There’s a vague sense, even if we’re physically tired, that our soul is refreshed but no one would know the difference. Monday has become a symbol of tiredness. If the weekend were the most refreshing part of...
Pilot your Life We’ve all seen videos of planes that ascend too quickly (or at least experienced it in a video game). It looks like this: an incredible burst of energy and an exhilarating climb which slows down because it can’t be sustained. The lack of energy to continue turns the plane around in the air, and the fall starts. Only very experienced pilots can save a plane out of freefall. A...
Eternal Trajectory It seems like as we sin, we also age. Signs of “Maturity” in the world are often equated with sin, like being independent and disconnected, being sexually involved, being willing to fight, etc. “Maturity” can be portrayed like loneliness, and joylessness. My parents have a funny picture at home of this perception. It’s a diverging highway with...
A friend pointed out to me recently that men will often tell women that they aren’t interested in pursuing a relationship because the woman is not attractive to them. However, women won’t mention that point when expressing the same feelings. Men apparently feel comfortable saying “I just don’t find you attractive” when putting someone in the friend zone, but women...
I have to write this down; it’s just a shred of a thought, but it seems important. Relationships are comprised of many commitments, and it seems the mismanagement, miscommunication, or lack of understanding of these often make relationships fall apart. I’ve attempted to categorize and put words to these to help myself (and perhaps you) be a better friend. Let’s simplify it to...
TLDR: Great environment, poor fries, good seasoning. I had consistency and quality concerns with the fries even though they still tasted pretty good. Walter’s BBQ is a low-key establishment in Lawrenceville with lots of outdoor seating, games, and a great bar. This place was awesome. I wish their fries had been better. Let’s start with the basics. Were the fries cooked all the way...
Let’s talk about the types of french fries. Some are just always better, and some are just always worse. French Fry Sizes Shoestring Fries Shoestring fries are the really thin and stringy. They have the distinction of being the worst sort of fries. I’ve only enjoyed shoestring fries once, but I still wouldn’t recommend them. These get cold quicker and they taste worse cold...
