We’ll see how long the trend of “lately” lasts… It’s the end of March, and I’ve had this blog in mind, keeping a note in my phone to track down some of those things for sharing.
It’s all random and not connected…Or is it?
We recently went down to Phoenix and went to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve (pictured) and wowie…This is going to be at least an annual winter pilgrimage. All the flowers and blooms. Worth checking out from December to March.
Lately, I’ve been getting ready for Easter and Galatians, and the first 5 verses have me hooked and excited for our upcoming series. There’s a lot of richness is a small section
“Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—and all the brothers and sisters who are with me,
To the churches of Galatia:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”
I have a few weekly emails that I look forward to every week: (see the buttons below for links)
Jon Tyson is a pastor in New York City and has a weekly email called “Primal Path” geared toward men and fathers. It’s encouraging and helpful.
Travelzoo sends out a “Weekly Top 20” travel deals that I’ve been getting for about 17 years (shoutout to Ethan Stover for the original recommendation all those years ago) - It may not be helpful in that it stokes a bit of wanderlust…But there’s a lot of world to see.
James Clear is the author of “Atomic Habits” and has a weekly email called “3-2-1” that is short, pithy, and helpful in thinking through life, work, and habits.
I’ve been listening to Citizen’s new album “I Can’t Find the Edges of You” on repeat.

Finally, for fun - Anthony and Beth recently shared a wonderful video:
“British Highschoolers Try Biscuits and Gravy for the First Time”
