Really concerned about the #Dallas #Stars at this point. They were competing for 1st seed in the Weat and now they are dropping games left and right. Giving up far too many SOG. Collapsed against VAN, shut out by WPG, now down to UTH… ugh.

Poking around recordings of the Mozart Requiem and it amazes me how much variety of interpretation there is. My favorite movement right now is Domine Jesu, and across the recordings on Apple Music the track length varies anywhere from 3m24s to 4m49s. (I’m partial to the quicker tempo.)

2025 Reads: Where God Happens by Rowan Williams 📚

A lovely little collection of thoughts on Christian community drawn from the Desert Fathers.

That’s an embarrassing and disastrous loss for the Dallas Stars who are in a real playoff race. Led Vancouver 3-0 after two periods, up 5-2 with 3 minutes left in regulation; ended up losing 6-5 in OT. Ouch. #NHL #Dallas

I am thinking that the state athletic association’s decision to move girls’ tennis to a fall sport next year is a good one.

I know that expecting NBA officiating to be even-handed is a fool’s errand, but the calls in this GSW - HOU game are really sus. Yes, Draymond Green asks for too many of his fouls, but calling him for flagrant foul while he’s making a layup is a new one. And Curry is getting mauled and no whistles.

“To value one another is our greatest safety, and to indulge in fear and contempt is our gravest error.” – Marilynne Robinson, from The Givenness of Things.

A month from now I am presenting at the adult forum at my church about my journey from Evangelicalism to Episcopalianism. How to adequately describe the journey of a lifetime in two 45-minute talks and not make it a giant therapy session? Praying for wisdom as I start preparing today. ⚓️

2025 Reads: Moscow X by David McCloskey 📚

Not as great as the first one in the series, but still a lot better than most spy novels coming out these days.
