📚 I read Andrew Thomson’s bio of Thomas Boston. Boston was zealous in man-fishing, intimate with God, loving toward family and flock, persevering in learning, and patient in trials. Few have influenced my life and ministry as much as Boston, and I’ve still a lot to learn.
😲 I can’t believe how easy it was for our dachshund to blast up and down this steep hill. He did the full trip about ten times in a row!
🔊📚 Finished listening to another amazing Laura Ingalls Wilder book, On the Banks of Plum Creek.
📚 Finished reading Mastering Leadership by Bob Anderson and Bill Adams
🇺🇸📚 Watched fireworks from the roof tonight with my kids and read some pieces in What So Proudly We Hail, a superb anthology on what it means to be American. Get yourself a copy! And happy 4th!
💪🏻 I met and passed my goal of 40 push-ups. It was easier than I thought it would be; the encouragement helped. Thanks!
⛺️ The first campground was full. The second had one old man camping in his van and a zillion frogs. Still, we pitched the tent, that is until @dellachelpkaart nearly stepped on a rattler. “Lot of them out here,” the old man told us. Our final campsite was a La Quinta. So comfy!
📚🔈 My family and I finished listening to The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder. What an amazing story.
💪🏻 A week ago, I could only do 26 pushups spread out over three sets. Today, I did 36. I’m surprised how fast that happened! I’m almost at my goal of 40.
💌 I updated my Now Page yesterday. And if you want the extended play version, subscribe to my (relaunched) newsletter. It’s written and sent with love.
I suppose that when you create your own Indiepaper read-later feed on Micro.blog, you could share it with others. So it’s not locked. But is it discoverable? cc: @manton @cleverdevil

⛪️ One of my elders asked me to write another ready-to-use liturgy in case I get sick or some planned pulpit supply falls through. I did that and created a page to collect these.
