⛪️ I preached from John 1 for my third sermon on wisdom.
Last night, I finished Loving the Poor, Saving the Rich: Wealth, Poverty, and Early Christian Formation by Helen Rhee. 📚 It’s rich with interesting details and is helping me reflect on my own theology and practices.
Tucson loves her murals. This one is at the Spay Neuter Clinic (Grant/Stone).
My church has a new website! What do you think?

📷 from my study. This honeycomb party-ball hangs over my desk. Someday, I might replace it with a plant or a used chandelier.
I finished The Writer’s Diet by Helen Sword. It is a brief guide to writing well. And it explains how to properly use the WritersDiet online test. Very helpful! Has anyone read her other books? 📚

O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
Finished: Wisdom Christology by Daniel J. Elbert IV. He answers the question, “Why seek wisdom in Christ?” by introducing readers to six important passages of Scripture. If you’ve never thought about this subject before, this book is a good place to start. (25-page preview) 📚

I like the new Indiepaper integration. Since “read later” articles can be accessed within one’s account, I wonder if they could be accessed within the app someday. Thanks @manton for all your hard work.
I finished Paul’s Theology of Preaching: The Apostle’s Challenge to the Art of Persuasion in Ancient Corinth by Duane Litfin. It’s a masterwork of biblical exegesis. He reveals a gospel-shaped rhetoric that is perfectly tailored for preaching. Loved it. 📚
