Christianity is loving the Lord so much that you really and truly want to love others.

A baby step towards enjoying your life more is choosing to do the less convenient thing that takes you more time and focus. Do things like make a meal for yourself, or choose to mow the lawn instead of paying for someone to do it. Taking ownership of small things is a great start

I played poker tonight with a 20-something year old man who loved to create his own music using AI and even publish it on Spotify. That man immediately became my nemesis, but Lady Fortune added insult to injury by having me lose to him on several crucial hands. I shall persist.

Me when something I post gets 10 likes: Best. Day. Ever.

I implore, for the sake of your own humanity, to consider enjoying and creating things that take effort. Your mind may not tell the difference between the thing that took blood, sweat, and tears to be made for you over the thing digitally summoned, but your soul absolutely will

When you're generously invited to be in a church's belfry during their service to record some stuff for a music project and you forget a wind screen for your mic and it is breezy up here but then you remember you've got nice socks on

I am unironically excited to have been outside to watch this large bird migration. And I live in the middle of a small city. You can just enjoy life, anon.

The Glory-Word. A tune many a Christian will recognize. May it bless you on this day of our Lord.

Alas, what small hearts we possess when there are great and vast loves to be experienced.

The more human things you choose to do, the more alive you will feel.

Those whom you disdain or condemn in your heart are the ones the Lord would share a meal with in joy and love.

Just... go outside

By what metric have we been surpassed? I can create a program that types out more words than me right now on my laptop. I can even make it coherent if I wanted to. But it will never make anything New. "A.I." is literally just a word predictor, not a word creator.

Right now I'm watching the afternoon sun illuminate a verdant tree next door while a breeze gently rustles the leaves and branches, and sparrows and robins sing nearby. I'm tired of the AI shills. It will never create something more beautiful than the world the Lord has given us

We will not go gently into that good night

It's a wonderful feeling to be physically holding my own artwork
