Here are two stories I’ve been thinking about lately:

Job – particularly Job 42:1-6
Jacob at the Jabbok – Genesis 32: 22-32

“Praise my Soul, the King of Heaven” (Lauda Anima).

Anything from Vulfpeck and REM’s (hometown shoutout) “Murmur” record.

I worked for a very short time at a restaurant. The folks who worked there were lovely. I quickly gained a respect for food service workers but recognized I would never survive in that kind of work.

Laugh at yourself a little.

I am! Love music. I play trumpet, piano, and have grown up singing. Performing, listening to, and enjoying the music world has been a love of mine since I was very little.

Still new to town, but La Fonda de Jaime 2.0 has killer tacos.

2M Smokehouse BBQ is good too.

Eclipse at Little Death is a lovely coffee shop. Go give Solomon your support!

No pets (I’m a little allergic too).
