Some may have noticed that I am quite sporadic these days with a morning timed message. They will continue on days I have something to report or say.

Health-wise, I stay the same with on-off focus periods with my brain where I am sharp or need a nap to reset. Naps / Sleep remains only a few hours at a time. #Concussion #PCS

Today starts a new work week with the #FoodBank, which shall be interesting:
Monday: Split shifts of Office and Home.
Tuesday: Work from Home. #WFH
Wednesday: Split shifts of Office and Home.
Thursday: Arianna has a medical procedure for which she is being sedated. I am taking PTO to be her driver and carer.
Friday: PTO
BTW - Saturday: Podcrawl - details here: https://tuxjam.otherside.network/podcrawl/

Over the weekend I completed a designated batch of typing up #Bible extracts from an international local people group. Sent in my completed work to my #MissionAssist supervisor, and received a new batch this morning.

I shall have my first #Coffee of the day at work.
Take care of yourself, and your neighbours.

“Told again and again that they are the dominant sex, created to rule over and have dominion over not just women but the earth, the land, its animals, and all things on earth—it's often a rude awakening for young, white Christian men when they enter the world and find that most created things are not interested in being ruled over by them.”

~ Ibid., p. 48

(continued from /5):

"On first read, maybe you'd think that means we're taught that we look like God. But ‘no one has ever seen God,’ so when you learn that you're created in God's image—as most young, white Christian boys and men have learned—then it makes sense that you think, ‘God must look like me.’”

~ Ibid., quoting John 1:18

“Many white American Christians are pretty sure they know what God looks like. Most of us won't really say it explicitly, of course: that would invite critique and the possibility that one of our most closely held but unexamined truths could be exposed as false. But most of us heard growing up that we were created in God's image."

~ Ibid., p 43

A second reflection I wrote after being at the Hands Off demonstrations yesterday, this time an exploration of what it means to be "blessed"--even when an angry Trump supporter yells at you from his car window.

Please feel free to join Arianna & I.

Yesterday I attended the Hands Off! Rally downtown Lexington, KY.
It was a blessing to be there among compassionate people concerned about their fellow residents and citizens of the USA. At the same time I could feel a lack of certain hope in their personal lives, the same hope I experience through knowing my Lord Jesus Christ. It is my prayer not only that their daily lives would be increased by a change of government, but also that they and all would come to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

After my lunch and nap I plan to work for a few hours on my current MissionAssist project of typing up Bible extracts from a local language scanned book. Such needed work for these people.

Tomorrow I shall be going to my #FoodBank office, to do the same job I have been doing for a few years, but under a new Vice President boss under the updated department title of Finance and Support Services.
This Food Procurement & Reporting Officer will be part of the data team.
Exciting times, especially as we just past a rolling 12 month period of over 50M LB weight distribution. When I started in July 1999 we were distributing 6M LB per year.

I hope and pray that you have a most fantastic day.
Be there for all around you.
I am here for you.

Stewardship Services have been publishing a daily blog for the 40 days of Lent focussing on different acts you may do to serve God and His Kingdom.
Today, 29th March 2025, is day 22 and focuses on Serving God from home with MissionAssist.
https://www.stewardship.org.uk/blogs/act-2240-converse

Part of the blog focuses on a guy named Rob who types up Bible translations into digital format. This is exactly what I do for MissionAssist. Please consider joining us in this Kingdom work from your own home.
