I agree we need a word for this way of thinking. I’m not certain Pornean is the best choice. Maybe Haysian or something?

At any rate, something about the not adiaphora really stood out to me. I think that’s clearly implied in the cannons of the ACNA and our history & founding proves this view.

But, for t... microblog.marmanold.com https://microblog.marmanold.com/2025/03/08/i-agree-we-need-a.html

"Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

Wishing you all a holy Lent. May you grow closer to God in this season and allow Him to cleanse and renew you.

Yoghurt update: This is amazing. Why didn’t anyone tell me how easy this was? Fresh yoghurt is just the best.

My first batch of homemade yoghurt is fermenting. Mal sehen how things look at 3p! 🦠 🥛

I bought toner for my printer. That’s all. Now, I get daily e-mails harassing me. — All zeros and sent to Spam. Your departmental KPIs & metrics are not my problem!

This is a major problem for my work at @christouranchor.

Thinking more and more that I should be directly posting more to my blog. Also think I should do work on my blog to ensure these micro posts are visible there, too. The domain has been me for 20+ years. Everything else is syndication. https://marmanold.com

Azure Data Studio is going away this month! :-( Anyone have suggestions for a great macOS SQL client? All I need is SQL autocomplete and a quick export of results to CSV and/or Excel. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/data-studio/

My wife and kids have been learning German for the last year. We’re to the point now where I can talk to them in simple sentences and send texts to my wife.

In all of this, one thing’s standing out to me. Never in almost twenty years of German have I used ihr (plural you) so much. As a teenager and a bachelor, it was all du (thou), er (he), and ich (I). Now I’m part of a little team and it’s all wir and ihr.

For years German was a solo language for me. Now it’s a family language. It’s amazing how relationships and family can change even the language we speak.

It seems like a cool game, but I just can’t get into No Man’s Sky. I never know exactly how to do anything in and mostly end up wandering around bored. https://www.nomanssky.com

This is why both Christ and Anglican are in the name of the mission. I wanted to leave myself no room for compromise.

I, too, have stopped using Amazon as much as possible. ChristianBook.com, Bookshop.org, and even Parnassus Books work for me. — How Amazon Hurts Writers https://youtu.be/BfZ81yUtTC4?feature=shared
