Hereās the thing, guys. If you spam my YouTube feed with shorts, posts, and random videos I will unsubscribe. I donāt want āengagementā. (Iād be on Twitter if I did.) I just want to know when youāve posted a new video. That is all.
Iām also realizing my Anglicanism is as much fidelity to my heritage and people as it is theological. There are many people, even priests, in the Roman church who hold the same theology as me. If I were German, I could see myself being Roman. But, I canāt turn my back on my people.
Great episode. I realized how lucky my kids are to be receiving a liberal education at home. Theyāve already had a good number of these works read to them and my oldest isnāt even ten yet. youtu.be/Ne7k1lJ1S⦠https://youtu.be/Ne7k1lJ1SvY?si=-kqH9q2dSAVe2FSi
Taking the kids through English history these last few months, I realize how incredibly English I am. Itās no wonder English Christianity fits my soul. It was made specifically for me and my people. Thanks be to God! š“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æ
Smart watches are very cool. But donāt be tricked into thinking you need one. You donāt need a watch to tell you if youāre tired or feeling good.

We have power! ā”ļøI am so proud of my family for making it three days without power. We abandoned our house at the 72 hour mark only because a better life was 25 minutes away. If a quick escape werenāt an option, we could have kept going. Arnold family prepping FTW!
Fun fact: If a laptop has sat at around 40 degrees F for several days, itāll be a few hours before you can charge it or turn it on.
I read Psalms 44 to 46 this morning in my 46 degree living room by our kerosene heater. It was humbling and led me to worship. God is holy and has and will see us through. It is not my job to understand, but to trust fully in His loving care.
Jesus is Lord and God reigns. (Even when you havenāt had power since Saturday morning and are a bit cold.) ā He saved our house and cars from may falling branches. He provided a source of kerosene. Heās kept our pipes from freezing. Heās kept the kids happy and entertained.

Authenticity of Pronunciation: I always struggle with this when coming across words in languages I speak. It feels odd to say āBerlinā as an American instead of German. But, to say it ācorrectlyā sounds pretentious and breaks the flow of an English sentence. https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=72656
Turns out, 96oz per day is the magic number for how much water I need. I drank a lot of water, but not enough. Now that Iām fully hydrated, I feel great!
