Jesus himself had mixed feelings during the clamorous parade. Luke reports that as he approached the city he began to weep. He knew how easily a mob could turn. Voices who shout “Hosanna!” one week can shriek “Crucify him!” the next.

As we step into holy week this quote has been on my mind. Particularly, “how easily a mob could turn.”
Would I have turned?
Would I have shouted “Hosanna!” and then shrieked, “Crucify!”?
Definitely going to have the split screen going this afternoon for Michigan State/UNC and Wings/Predators.
What a fun day of sports ahead!

If you’re on micro.blog, I would encourage you to check out @Mtt’s Tiny Theme. It is really, really good. He continues to improve it as well.
Even in the moment of peace, as he rocked slowly, the #weight of the decision was ever present. He tried to be fully aware of the moment. The focus of his attention was on the heat from the bowl of his pipe and sound of his own breathing.

The #OldGal whipped me with a 3. She did me like me Oakland did Kentucky.
Hopefully the #YoungPups can up with a 2.
His stubbled face and steel blue eyes revealed a deep knowing. His hands were calloused. The #smoke from his pipe drifted gently off against the setting sun. The only sound was the creak from the loose deck board beneath his rocking chair.
At that moment all was peace.

Open up the app and see I’ve missed a ton of notifications. Sorry yall! I will have pay closer attention.
I think one of the most important things I learned in grad school was to hold a charitable position when I am reading someone’s work. It is easy to see the things I disagree with. To be able to identify the good often requires a deeper understanding of their position.

A six and I was lucky.
The #OldGal got a 4.
I feel like this will be a tough one for the #YoungPups.

The #OldGal lost her MoJo! She dropped a five today and earned a defeat. The door is wide open #YoungPups!
Good morning! May you practice patience in the midst of whatever stressful situation you might find yourself in today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing ✝️☕️
I know of no more poignant contrast between two human destinies than that of Peter and Judas. Both assumed leadership within the group of Jesus’ disciples. Both saw and heard wondrous things. Both went through the same dithery cycle of hope, fear, and disillusionment. As the stakes increased, both denied their Master.

If this isn’t a “but by the grace of God go I,” I don’t know what is.
Good morning! May you create opportunities to be present in the lives of others today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

Dude, the #OldGal came in with a 4 and was feeling confident. Well that was just like her opinion, man. 🤣
#YoungPups what you got today?
