A reflection on my favorite album of 2020 - Keeper of Days by Jon Guerra - bit.ly/3jP02aI (with a special shout out to Brett McCracken)

"All of us experience “dysphoria” between who we are and who God created us to be. The answer to resolving this dysphoria cannot be found by looking within yourself or to others for approval; it can only be found by uniting yourself to Christ."

"...a crowd destroys the spirit as thoroughly as excessive drink and depersonalized sex...The religious hunger [for transcendence] is rooted in the unsatisfactory nature of the self. We hunger to escape the dullness, the boredom, the tiresomeness of me." - Eugene Peterson

This video for those of you who have seen and loved Ted Lasso (and who appreciate Cinematic Orchestra). It's a beautiful reminder of how well this show models kindness, encouragement, friendship, and being with one another in pain. youtube.com/watch?v=YZ0GRf…
