Not a great showing with an unforced error in line three.
The #OldGal pulled a solid 4. Dear #YoungPups, may the odds be ever in your favor.
Good morning! May you choose to practice rest and recreation today.

Iβm looking forward to be speaking at the Cornerstone EPC Menβs Retreat this weekend. I will be teaching from Luke 15:11-35 (The story of the two sons).
The retreat theme is βConfidenceβ and Iβm going to draw the distinction betweenn being a βConfidence Manβ and a βConfident Man.β

The #OldGal dropped a 4 today due to an unforced error. Her tea must have been lackluster. Team #YoungPups unite!
Good morning! May you press on and finish your week well. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

Jesusβ response to suffering people and to βnobodiesβ provides a glimpse into the heart of God. God is not the unmoved Absolute, but rather the Loving One who draws near. from: [The Jesus I Never Knew](https://micro.blog/books/9780310295815) by Philip Yancey π
This might be one of the most challenging concepts for many American Christians to wrap our minds around. We have been told for so long that God is non-emotional. Yet, in the person of Jesus, we see God draw near in love. This is the consistent response of Jesus in the Gospels to the people who are on the βoutside.β
The Faithful Divine https://thekjd.net/2024/03/07/the-faithful-divine.html
Indeed, the kingdom of God will grow on earth as the church creates an alternative society demonstrating what the world is not, but one day will be: Barthβs prescription of βa new sign which is radically dissimilar to [the worldβs] own manner and which contradicts it in a way which is full of promise.β From: [The Jesus I Never Knew](https://micro.blog/books/9780310295815) by Philip Yancey π
I imagine this alternative society would look vastly different from what we see today.
Mondays, for me, are a time of preparation. I am sure to exercise, read, write, and now that spring has apparently sprung play a little golf.
Each Monday I want to prepare for my week as intentionally as I can through things that bring me joy.
Good morning! May you begin your week with a sense of hope and expectation for the good. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

The #OldGal also pulled a 3! It might be a long time for the #YoungPups.

Today the #OldGal got a 4. My streak lives. I guess a 6 is good when you have multiple consonants and nothing but luck to go with. #YoungPups unite!
Good morning! The adventure is fun but there is great joy in being home. May you experience home today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing
