This is ordered disorder. Life is difficult and not as it was designed, but the challenges that we face and overcome do prepare us for our eventual return to Eden. The daily work of mending our every flaw is only possible with the time, space, and circumstances that life gives us.

Bible Authors Admit They Were Paid $7K For Every Reference To Israel - Babylon Bee
Hey, if the money is available, just take it. I was writing a ton about Israel anyway, for free, so why not make a little extra coin on the side? And people pretend like I’m the one who benefited from the arrangement the most, but I only had one book. You should have seen how much cash Moses came away with from the Pentateuch. ‘Israel this' and ‘Israel that.' He was the O.G. moneymaker with that deal.

Apple’s “new” version of iWork is such a departure.
Ads and upselling within the app is not something I really expect from them.
Creator Studio doesn’t make sense to pay $130 a year when I only use Pages & Numbers.

Discipline is Destiny 📚
February 11,2026It’s a slow start to the year, and I did not pick the right book to start, but that’s okay. Discipline is Destiny is a philosophy book that tries to bring the wisdom of the ancients to the modern mind. That means it’s not really my style, but the substance was excellent.
What started as a slog picked up mid-book, and I am now finished and satisfied with the time I spent reading it. The through line is that we have the opportunity to master ourselves, to the extent we are willing to do so. Though discipline is hard, and feels restrictive, it paradoxically frees us to be fully alive in a way that a lack of discipline boxes us into mediocrity.
The text is good, the philosophy is sound, and I had the discipline to finish the book.

It’s so easy to fall into a rut and forget to challenge the systems you put in place.
My work changed significantly six months ago, and I realized I was still doing things in the order that was optimized for the old work, not the new.
Day one, new plan.
Morning: Create; Afternoon: Administrate.
