my favorite purchase of 2025 was a butter churn

C.S. Lewis, The Case for Christianity God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can't. If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.

Merry Christmas!

4 months ago I wanted to build an app with little to no knowledge of app building. Since then I’ve learned how to use Cursor, Xcode, how to fix bugs for weeks on end, UX and UI, color theory, GitHub, getting code ready for TestFlight, and mostly how much fun staying up all night building something actually is. In a week or so my first app to help people pray more will be available in for beta testers (and God willing the App Store after that!) 🙏✨
