I’ve long had a love–hate relationship with some of Paul’s directions to the various churches he wrote to in the NT. The love is for the blessing of the words God inspired him to write, for the feeling that comes when I really dig in. But the hate comes from my inability to follow the instructions.
I have a lot of appreciation for how Epic Games is handling Fornite. It's not just a video game.
I enjoyed this long essay from Craig Mod on a handful of related topics. Most importantly, he touches on how habits define our identity and why most people would not want to be described as social media addicts. But readers? Yes, very much yes please. > We’re amicable to calling ourselves readers for the same reason we want to identify as rock climbers or marathon runners or exceptional parents or selfless children or humanitarians or folks who’ve written thoughtful and considered books — becau…
I’ve been using RescueTime for a few years now, and I have come to appreciate it. But for whatever reason, I never had any desire to install the version for iOS. Until recently. What I like about it The app tracks your pickups and how much time you spend on your device. I like the way it summarizes the pickups — both the total and the location and timing of them.

All the pain I used to experience…
Yeah, I’m a sucker for this kind of post — I love to read about what people purchase for traveling and how they pack it all to go. Craig Mod shares his kit and since his recent travels are a little more robust than most, the list is long and contains some gear many of us do not need. But it’s fun to read regardless. I didn’t go through the exercise, but I’m betting Craig’s list here is in excess of $20,000. Good gear costs more for good reason and I’m a fan of…
The problem with trying to adopt Niklas Luhman's slip-box method is figuring out how to start. The focus of all materials you find is very much on why you should use this method, but hardly much at all is been said about how you use it. Or rather, how one gets started.
