“There is an extraordinary charm in other people’s domesticities.” ~ C.S. Lewis Lewis places his finger on the magic and privilege I feel whenever I step into someone else’s home. Commonplace to them, each home is a revelation to me.

“In my most evil moments I was convinced that I was doing good, and I was well supplied with systematic arguments. And it was only when I lay there rotting on prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good.” #Solzhenitsyn

@RichNathan Congrats, Naomi -- Way to go!!!

Our granddaughter, Naomi Rose Nathan, graduated from Westerville South High School today! We are so proud of her!

@josephhurtgen My friend, that is a treasured memory. Truly.

@Hollenbach I'm sorry that I'm not there to open the projectionist window for you.

Just went to a *real* movie theater. They ran 20-30 previews of coming attractions, and I loved them all! I would’ve gone just to see the trailers in the big screen.

Also, “Quiet Place Part Two” is 👍🏽👍🏽

@bradjersak “Our Father, Hollowed be thy name”???

Via godfather: apophasis theology among the Cappadocians makes perfect sense given the troglodyte geology, where nothing is erected but rather, hollowed out to make space for the sacred.

As a teenager I applied for a job at the library. “How are you at alphabetizing?” they asked. “Fine,” I answered. “How are you with hearing that song all day long?”

King David knew: One good question is worth more than a thousand easy answers. "One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple." (Ps 27:4)

@jssharlow I nearly died when I saw this!!! The Bucs are *awful*.

This looks exactly like my Pee Wee team!

@andysquyres I think this is "Fisherman Andy" speaking. I wonder what "Pre-Fisherman Andy" might say.

The heat of summer and a 9 o’clock sunset beats winter for absolutely damn sure.

I am finally ready to release the Official Rock Matrix

In my teens and early twenties I had an overwhelming sense that God had destined me for some great thing, some epic achievement. And I still think it’s true. But over the last 40 years he has been gently teaching me the meaning of true greatness. (Mark 9:35-45)

@fitchest All. The. Time.

Sometimes I write tweets in the middle of the night. In my sleep I say "that's brilliant." The next morn I wake up up and can't remember what I said. Anybody else have this problem.

(Regarding living between the ‘now’ and the ‘not yet’ of God’s kingdom. It means receiving and hearing God’s promise.) “But let me tell you: receiving the promise is much easier than *living with* the promise.” ~ @adamleerussell

“Let me tell you something about the journey: no one sprints to glory.” ~ @adamleerussell
