Of Chaos and Order - Ship's Log

Loving this song.

I was stoked when a #missionary family presented their call at #church yesterday.

I’m grateful for the music of #CommonHymnal and #MaverickCityMusic.

Ran a truck full of sheetrock, tires, baseboard and wall insulation to the dump today.

This is the most rational and persuasive plea to read the Bible I’ve ever read.

Graham built this great white shark lego entirely by himself.

I was explaining prompt engineering to Amie yesterday by sharing that AI can be trained to generate representations of character dialog, say Bart Simpson for example.

I mentioned yesterday how happy I was using native #html, #css and #WebComponents to create a web interface for a service at work.

If I wasn’t already sold on vanilla #webcomponents when I began adding them to my personal #website, I am now that I’ve built an interactive frontend for a web service at work in 1,000 lines of vanilla #JavaScript, #HTML, and #CSS in only two days!

May it always draw my wonder and devotion that the rightful King of Creation uses his eternal authority to adopt and restore me, a privileged descendant of racists.

Trying to see...

It’s my birthday!

“A mark of maturity is surrendering to the person you actually are instead of the one you wish you were… Hate to break it to you, but the vision you’ve always had for your future won’t come true because that vision was predicated on the person you wish you

Yesterday we brought over an ice cream cake to celebrate grandpa’s 70th birthday.

For my 35th birthday Amie planned a three-day trip to Bighorn National Forest, about three hours west of us in Wyoming.

Here are a few highlights from Royal’s birthday celebration last Saturday.

Graham started with a cough a few days ago and Royal had croup-style breathing all last night.

Amie shares with me the best discoveries from her continuing education requirements.

Since he was born, Royal has never shown any hesitation to jump.

My #exercise #habit has been slowly paying off.

When you are spent, how do you #rest with others?

My obedience from our last #DiscoveryBibleStudy is talk with the Father about his plan to let the weeds grow alongside the wheat.

Last Thursday our neighbors came over for a last-minute #DiscoveryBibleStudy.

#prayer Father, give Andrew and Laura courage to speak openly about what you are teaching them of your love and presence.

Dr.

This song gets me every time.

Oh how the boys love gymnastics courses!

Our dojo time has been mostly pillow fights.

Amie and I have been reading The Mysterious Benedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart.

Amie’s been sharing lots of crafts with the boys in the last week.

I’m proud of Graham’s structural design skill.

Since we were sick with the flu the first two weeks of February the habits of exercise, meditation and memorization that started so well in January need a jumpstart.

After the #dmm summit, two priorities were impressed upon me: to focus on my family as my primary team of disciple-makers, and to lean into warfare #prayer.

I’ve heard about the #Asbury #revival from multiple sources.

In my early 20’s guilt followed any “unproductive” time.

The DMM Summit in Mesa, AZ three weeks back was inspiring and life-giving.

I refer to #dmm in my log entries, but I don’t know that a web search does the acronym justice.

I’m grateful that yesterday was a bank holiday.

I no longer have flu symptoms, but was still fatigued when we hosted our friends yesterday.

I built a local demo site with the #11ty static-site generator (#SSG).

I had read my first Ursula K Le Guin a couple months ago, A Wizard of Earthsea.

OneDrive has done it again.

The DMM Summit was wonderful, but I’ve had no time to write about it since our family came down with the flu the day I returned.

The DMM Summit is almost here!

This page an incredible feat.

I’ve also hit my January exercise goal.

Good progress so far.

Sometimes I’m exasperated with Graham because he‘ll fixate on his work and forget about bodily needs then have a meltdown when he becomes aware of himself again.

One of our favorite places to hike is the Flume Trail.

I attempted something unusual today.
