For most of recent history, up until about 60 years ago, the act of creation was just a part of life. Everyone sang or played an instrument or wrote or performed or danced or Something.

But recording technology turned creative output in to a path to fortune and fame. Suddenly, if you weren't exceptional, then why were you trying at all?

This concept is, of course, bullshit.

After about 3 weeks of sewing, and lots of help from our friends, we've built a dodger from scrap canvas and vinyl we had onboard.

It will keep the rain and spray out of the companionway for the foreseeable future.

Mission successful! 🥳

When driving in snow, it is a good idea to occasionally give the wheel a little wiggle or tap the brakes when you’re in a safe spot. This test gives you an idea of how in control you are and how responsive the vehicle is(in the current conditions). It reminds you of the limits of your control so that you can account for them. Likewise, you can test yourself by temporarily abstaining from good things like food, sex, entertainment, etc. Then you will know if these things serve you or not.

If you're a parent or grandparent you need to watch this ENTIRE episode.
Love or hate Glenn Beck, he does some of the best deep dives.

My daughter's team won a trail race today at her horse riding club.

Not a major competition, or anything, but a great time with her pony-loving friends, riding through NZ bush, in the rain.

Plus a ribbon to go along with it all!

Sierra is in light blue in the centre of the photo.

I run A/V at my church and it is such a blessing to continually work out the bugs and do rehearsals with all of the volunteers. They are brothers and sisters(some literally), and it is such a sweet time watching their little kids run around while everyone pours out their highest and best. Every week feels like I’m witnessing some monumental part of history. It is such a privilege to be part of this!
