Crazy how much a 30 minute walk with no phone can clear your mind and reset your mood

If you want to eat more healthy foods cooked from home but don’t want to spend hours cooking every day…

Get a crockpot!! They literally cost $40 (or less if you’re brave enough to get a used one at a thrift store)

1. Put almost any cut of meat in there, a little liquid (broth, wine, or even water), some salt, and herbs for bonus points
2. Turn it on low and wait 8 hours
3. Enjoy!

You can pair this with potatoes, rice, or your carb of choice for a meal that’s healthier than 99.9% of restaurant meals

The most convincing lies are always a partial truth

I used to think partial truths were better than full lies because at least they were leading people down a path closer to the truth

But now I think partial truths are more harmful because they are close enough to the truth that it is harder for someone to recognize it as a lie, turn away from it, and find THE Truth that is Christ Jesus

#asknostr what do you think is worse - Partial truths or full lies?

Thinking a lot lately about how harmful microwaves are (and not the ones in our kitchen - but those are harmful too)

There are metaphorical microwaves implanted throughout our society - the surface level issues such as fast food and “buy now pay later” schemes for commercial goods reveal a lot about the deeper issues such as marriages that end quicker than they began and people seeking quick fixes outside of the Lord rather than waiting on His promises

Just like slow cooked food is better than a microwave dinner, God’s promises are so much greater than the instant gratification of the new age

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

GM good people!

This Sunday - September 21, 2025 - is national “Back to Church Sunday” and over 40,000 churches across the US are going to be participating

What this means is that many churches are going to have block parties, food, or other fun activities after service to invite the community in and help new people get connected

If you’ve been feeling the push to go back to church and don’t know where to start - this is a great weekend to go

If you’re already a member at a church, this is a great excuse to invite someone

(Also every Sunday after that is also a great time to go back to church or invite someone)

Have a great day friends 😊
