Preaching at my church this morning. Two services down, one to go. I’m so thankful that my church trusts me to do this a few times a year (for 28 years now).

Preached at my church tonight (and will again 2x Sunday). Got massively choked up at one point and struggled to get through the next few minutes. Kinda funny that I mentioned in passing early in the sermon that as I get older I’m getting weepier. Then I gave them an example! :)

working on my expense report from my trip to NOLA earlier this week and it's making me salivate for more of those charbroiled oysters from Deanie's Seafood, and that fried chicken from Li'l Dizzy's Cafe. mmmmmmmmm.

Holy cow, the @united flight attendant is wearing so much perfume I can smell it from three rows away. Every time she walks up or down the aisle people start coughing; and I already have a raging headache from it.

Bday dinner with my favorites at a Michelin recommended middle eastern restaurant. Love them, and the food was super tasty.

Teaching in my church’s middle school group this morning, and it’s my birthday. I had them guess how old I am today. The guesses ranged from 47 to 83. (It’s my Beddian birthday - a word I learned this week - born in 63 and turning 63 today.)

Been wrestling with the implications of this fascinating info about young teen brain development for years. Fascinating stuff that really should impact our priorities in youth min: open.spotify.com/episode/1jM…

I’m having a hard time finding much sympathy for people in other states complaining about $4.50.
