I’m think I am about it ready to begin podcasting again. Here’s my current thought:
Begin by transforming my series of post on disentangling (deconstructing) faith into podcast episodes and seeing where that takes me.
A few of you know me a bit by now, what else would be of interest?
Currently reading: The Brothers Karamazov: A New Translation by Michael R. Katz by Fyodor Dostoevsky 📚
A sunny day and nice pipe and diving into a bucket list read.
Psalm 77; Proverbs 30:1-9; Matthew 4:1-11
The tempting of Jesus in the wilderness by the enemy is one of those stories that I find to be quite insightful. It is also one of the stories that challenges me deeply. I’m not sure that I’d be able to pass the test.
As I think about this passage again this morn... danielmrose.com https://danielmrose.com/2024/02/21/psalm-proverbs-matthew.html
Good morning! As the sun rises over my neighborhood it reminds me that there is beauty everyday if we just watch for it. May you see the beauty in the mundane today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing
I’ve decided that I have to read Brothers Karamazov. I have started it a couple of times and never pressed on, but it keeps coming up over and over in my reading. I feel compelled to read it. 📚
Hey Micro Blog community, which theme handles video the best?
"Two words one could never think of applying to the Jesus of the Gospels: boring and predictable. How is it, then, that the church has tamed such a character — has, in Dorothy Sayers’ words, “very efficiently pared the claws of the Lion of Judah, certified Him as a fitting household pet for pale curates and pious old ladies”?
From: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey 📚
It strikes me that when we focus our attention on the Jesus that we meet in the Gospel stories as opposed to the cultural Christian Jesus that we have invented we will find ourselves shocked by what we find. Jesus is a wild man. T... danielmrose.com https://danielmrose.com/2024/02/20/two-words-one.html
Psalm 77; Job 5:8-27; 1 Peter 3:8-18a
Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing.
No exceptions.
It seems that we live in a world where we try to make exceptions to living the way that Peter describes here all the time. To seek to be agreeable, sympathetic, loving, compassionate, and humble we are told simply do not work any more.
It’s a fascinating thing to me that many Christians will tell y... danielmrose.com https://danielmrose.com/2024/02/20/psalm-job-peter.html
Good morning! May you practice integrity rooted in love today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing
The Bear is so dang good. With every episode it rises in the ranks. 📺
I am hosting our Elders for a Session meeting. The plan was to offer crock pot roast. It didn’t really cook, though it had been in the crockpot for 5 hours.
I’ve shifted it to the oven. Hoping it turns out.
I have to say that the support here on micro.blog is absolutely top notch.
“Of the many reasons for Incarnation, surely one was to answer Job’s accusation: Do you have eyes of flesh? For a time, God did.”
From : The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey 📚
For so many years I regularly thought of Jesus as this divine superman. I am so intrigued by his god-ness that I missed his or... danielmrose.com https://danielmrose.com/2024/02/19/of-the-many.html
Psalm 77; Job 4:1-21; Ephesians 2:1-10
I yell out to my God, I yell with all my might,
I yell at the top of my lungs. He listens.
I’m not sure that there is a more comforting phrase for me in all the Scriptures than, “He listens.”
“He listens,” is a complete sentence.
It is remarkable to me that when I cry out to the Divine the Divine listens. I am constantly on a quest to understand what amazing grace means. As I sit here this morning with many things on my heart and my mind, I am struck by the reality that it is amazing grace that God listens.
Why would God listen to me? What is it about me th... danielmrose.com https://danielmrose.com/2024/02/19/psalm-job-ephesians.html

“Looking in retrospect on my years at Bible college, I see that, despite all the devotional intimacies, Jesus grew remote from me there. He became an object of scrutiny.”

This is, I think, one of the great struggles for not only people at Bible college or s... danielmrose.com https://danielmrose.com/2024/02/18/looking-in-retrospect.html

New social plan:
Micro Blog for hosting and creating content (I’m likely upgrading to premium to take advantage of the ability to podcast and post video). This is good as it auto cross posts and easily cross posts to multiple platforms.
Mastodon for consuming content and interacting.
