    Gary Stevenson - Blessed are the peace makers

    don't do unto others as they did to you.

    Use God's patterns: gentle, loving, kindness

    The need for kindness in the world is as great as ever.

    build others up.

    We can be partners in peace.

    Peacemaking requires action.

    . Before posting on social media ask, will this build bridges or tear them down?

    I found it nice that there was no generic "digital media is bad" message.

  2. The incompatibility of an intellectual and faith-based exploration is a false dichotomy. We can and must put both our minds AND our hearts to work in exploring the principles of eternity.

  3. "But Rick, you're already a Nerd. You're a professional nerd!" "True. For I am a bowtie-wearing, banjo-playing nerd; for me the ship of "hipness" sailed a long time ago. So I may have less skin in the game than you do." The game is being socially accepted and being brave in representing the divine and the eternal.

  4. Time to give my full attention to . Eternity and the bypartite relation beteen Eternity and our current world. Eternity is not just a span of unlimited time, but an alternate place in its own right.

  5. Found out about #easytag for editing cd tags; even easier than #Picard! And it can be set up with #gnudb Now to figure out if I can get #emms to use it instead of random python scripts... gnudb.org/howto.php

  6. #BYUDevo #ElderCook With today's devotional not being on #BYUTV, I thought he was going to address some hot-topic and wanted to avoid the unexpected negative feedback that even the beloved Elder Holland received last time. But then they announced that this was an international devotional. So now I'm not sure why it is not on BYU TV.

  7. The language #Clojure and #ClojureScript languages are so stable, with breaking changes being frowned upon in the culture. But breaking in the (frankly, awesome!) tooling has been my difficulty as I maintain a dozen projects of varying ages. It is a real problem. #cider #nrepl #figwheel #piggyback

    The classic story about #TheProdigalSon teaches that it isn't about competition or comparison, but about healing and love. Love for one does not diminish love for others. Reminds me of the thoughts at goodquestionblog.com/2023/07/2

    I am not sure about the certainty of mortal limited capacity for love.

  9. I spent an hour with the toddler and infant watching youtube.com/@msrachel. The 6-month old liked this, too. Definitely made me think of @DrFreemo #BabyTalk #ChildAboos

  10. I just learned of gitolite.com/gitolite/overview, which seems to be an alternative to #git forges like Github and Gitlab. If I'm not mistaken, I don't manage repos large enough to need it. But I love to see #GPL #FOSS stuff and to learn that some really big players are using #gitolite (Redhat, the Linux Kernel, KDE).

  11. Thoughts from me when I was in Grad School about Gaboon vipers and respecting spiritual danger orys.us/uM
