Had some dust on my camera lens (easter photos all had a black dot at the bottom) so I cleaned my sensor for the first time yesterday. Much easier than I thought it would be!
Just stumbled across a life planner thing that comes in a fancy black box. I don’t want a life planner notebook, but I really want a fancy black box with cards worksheets, etc (oh and it just so happens to have a notebook).
It’s amazing how packaging can affect your mind.
I’ve started using the health apps “log your mood” feature and I love it. It’s a nice prompt. I’m also intentionally trying to turn negative feelings into positive ones (I.e. I had a few unpleasant logs about work so I picked a fun task. My next work log was pleasant. )
Interesting little fact. We tend to be more optimistic about our local area than our nation. I.e. we think [crime/vandalism/unemployement] is worse on a national level than a local one.
Earlier this year I read Gospel Allegiance by Matthew W Bates. It argues that the greek word we frequently translate as “Faith” might be best understood as Allegiance (even though Bates acknowledges that Pistis means faith/faithfulness/trust. This was a detail I missed in my first reading but caught when preparing the sketchnote.) The standout parts are where he breaks down Paul’s explanation of the Gospel in 1 Corinthians and explaining how works are necessary.
I really enjoyed making this one, mainly because I love any excuse to use a gold leaf layer in procreate.
Finished reading: Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes by Kenneth E. Bailey 📚very interesting cultural insights into core gospel passages (the nativity, the Lord’s Prayer, preaching in Nazareth).
I’m currently reviewing an article for work where we have lots of lists with categories that sometimes have two or more elements. Semicolons, your time has come!
Currently watching the afterparty season 2. I loved season 1, season 2 is solid but doesn’t feel as good as my biased memory of season 1. My wife and I signed up for Apple TV+ again to watch it. I like flicking between streaming services as there’s always something really great then.
