I’m reminding myself today that it’s OK to be un-interesting, unexciting, and un-remarkable and simply be a human who loves his wife in practical ways, makes lunches for the kids, files folders, grades papers, puts laundry away—and that this too is God-blessed good stuff.

If you’ve ever had to ask forgiveness of your children, then this prayer is for you:

O Lord, you who promise to aid us in our weakness, make us brave & humble of heart, so that we might ask and receive forgiveness from the one that we have harmed. In your name we pray. Amen.

It’s been a billion years since I’ve been on the DTS campus but I just had the most marvelous conversation with Darrell Bock & Bill Hendrix about art, theology, hospitality, Sundance, AI Jesus, Andres Serrano, and love as a form of paying attention on their podcast “The Table.”

A happy Veteran's Day, friends. We pray this day in anticipation of that day when swords shall be beaten into plowshares and nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and neither shall they learn war anymore.

Amen and amen.
