17 years later, I’m not unaware of the issues around Jesus Culture as an institution along with its celebrities. I get the problems that came with the replacement of properly participatory worship with a kind of soul-less arena rock.

But re-watching this, I can’t help but think there were a lot of hearts in the right place.

And there is a youthful earnestness, and uninhibitedness in the piece and the performance–yes performance, although this doesn’t mean it’s not worship– that is beautiful to me.

Something about this video still ministers to my heart after all these years.

Probably not worth the $15, but the marketing got me.

Already I see gloating
and glee that death
has won a battle.

Already I see response,
rallying for against enemies
perceived to be flesh and blood.

Already I feel desperate
to remind myself that victory
over gloating and rallying

and death

is only in gathering
around a cross

and somehow believing
it is deliverance.

Helpful article on the security risks of ChatGPT’s new agentic AI. I for one am not yet comfortable giving it credentials for anything mission-critical…

I’m not saying I never miss it, but you know, I never regret starting my day with Scripture & prayer.

I know the whole Inbox Zero thing can be taken to an extreme but it does feel good to get there once a week or so.

Been a while since I checked in with Workflowy. The Kanban board view and presentation features are killer. I may transition from Trello.

Dusty had a couple skin tags removed. Inflatable donut seems more comfortable for him than the Cone of Shame

Amazing use for AI – had a client send me an image with lots of text I had to replicate. Instead of typing it out, I just asked Claude to do it for me! Took all of 5 seconds and the transcription was flawless!
