God made me picky and when I spend 15 minutes adjusting a paragraph’s rag, I feel his pleasure

if you know, you know

@ReallyOldLife @presbycast incredible

I saw this somewhere. I wonder if @presbycast has an idea.

@jethrothekenite This is the version I had as a kid, but even better is the recent @banneroftruth edition with no 2CVs!

On this note, I should add that kids sense this, too. The most effective Children's Bible we've used in our home is this one by Catherine Vos. Hardly any pictures at all, and each story is treated with seriousness, without all the "kidisms" that modern Christians think necessary.

If Evangelical Christians treated the Biblical account of Jesus with even a fraction of the reverence that Mormons reserve for their temple ceremonies, there would be no animated depiction of it. Period. Regardless of their view of whether it violates the Second Commandment.

@youarestars @YouTube BRUCE!!!

@oldlife @IVMiles How’d I miss this announcement? I’ll be there live next time.

We did try. The plan was to have a Zoom chat with listeners. We did but only one listener showed up.  Even so, the lack of other chatterers did not prevent the co-hosts from talking about what it means to belong to the church @IVMiles traffic.libsyn.com/e3de9cb7-c07a-…

@chlo_arch I’m absolutely loving your recent Pylemaxxing

George Rogers Clark on His Way to Kaskaskia by Howard Pyle

Pyle thought that “by following European models—and accepting the delusion ‘that a wooden shod Dutch fisherman is really more interesting or more beautiful than his Yankee brother’—American artists neglected native subjects and ignored the particularities of the American spirit.”

Thinking about how good this is. youtube.com/watch?v=ClPHBM…

@WVPitt Thanks. It’s going to my Kindle.

@nigel Of these Balfour is probably the easiest to read.

"But it’s true, his argument is not mainly about the meaning of biblical texts, because the arguments for church establishments over the years have not been mainly about biblical texts." This is demonstrably false, and DeYoung knows it because he tries to handwave away the OT.

@WVPitt OK, I'll bite. Which one to start with?

Here's five books on Establishmentarianism based off Biblical arguments: George Gillespie archive.org/details/aarons… Thomas Houston archive.org/details/christ… James Willson logcollegepress.com/authors-uz#/ja… William Balfour archive.org/details/establ… Alexander Moncrieff archive.org/details/bim_ei…

@Eric_Erins Is this new tile? It's so lovely.

Ehhh

@valerie2776 Agree 100%. The Decemberists are cool again for the first time since 2009 and I love it so much.

Starting a thread of musical discoveries that delight. First. This song from the decemberists new album. I haven’t listened to them much since the hazards of love. But the new album is good and this track makes me go cuckoo banana open.spotify.com/track/6udbWHkp…

@maffrj 100% agree. It’s not cool to prefer these versions, but I mostly do.

#NowPlaying️ #StoneColdClassic There isn't enough talk about what a great country album this is.

@oldlife Cool connection!

@nigel wow. Thanks. His dates are Mencken's for what it's worth 1880-1956

#Mencken (Heathen Days) When publishing was a craft

@oldlife I’m a graphic designer and Dwiggins is a significant figure in the industry. His book layouts are lovely, and typefaces he designed are all over the place in other places too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_A…

@nigel how do you know about him?

@nee_massey youtu.be/987MTbOl0mc?t=…

I like a bit of saxophone. Is there a contemporary track that has a great bit of saxophone on it? How far back to you have to go?🧐

@forcefieldpr @mountain_goats Thanks! Now I have album artwork for this long-cherished concert recording: archive.org/details/tmg199…

a timeline cleanse: pics from a @mountain_goats in-store performance in 1998 at Vinyl Fever in Tallahassee. Just found these in a shoebox in my garage

@bendellwerry same energy: twitter.com/nigel/status/1…
