"Our kid had Downs Syndrome, so we killed him. Thankfully the clinical murder of the little guy went well." Repent of your murder and throw yourself on God's mercy. May God grant us a state the rightly wields the sword.

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21. The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans

@wadestotts I saw a thing saying writers are being told to write for people who are scrolling while the show plays in the background. This explains the excruciatingly on-the-nose exposition via dialogue. They seem like "movies" but they're being consumed totally unlike movies. Terrible.

@aaron_renn If you visit Pike Place market (you should), make sure to visit Post Alley as well, which if you're a pub fan, has the White Horse Tavern you'd probably enjoy.

Wasting time is costly because it rarely feels dangerous while it is happening. It usually comes quietly. A few minutes here. A distraction there. One more glance at a notification. One more hour given to something that does not matter much. It rarely feels like you are throwing life away. It feels small. Harmless. Easy to justify. Perhaps, you tell yourself you are paying attention because you care. That this is time well spent. That while others sleep, you are staying watchful. It feels like vigilance and preparedness. It feels like keeping informed for the sake of your family, exposing what others refuse to see, gathering knowledge that will one day prove necessary. So you tell yourself. When you are young, this is especially easy because time feels endless. You spend it freely because you assume there will always be more. More time to get serious. More time to become disciplined. More time to repair what was neglected. More time to become the husband, father, worker, or man you know you ought to be. But time does not wait for us to get serious. It keeps moving. Tick. Tick. Tick. And as the years pass, life has a way of waking you up to what was lost. The child you were too distracted to notice becomes the grown son who no longer thinks to call when he is in town. The wife whose attempts at connection were often pushed aside stops trying as much. The discipline you meant to develop tomorrow hardens over years of weak habits. The opportunities to build, teach, shape, save, and prepare slowly pass by. And one of the hardest lessons a man learns is that some things cannot simply be made up later. You can repent. You can change. You can be forgiven. But forgiveness does not always remove the earthly consequences of wasted years. This is what makes wasting time such a costly illness. It steals slowly. Quietly. Almost invisibly. Often you do not realize what it has taken until you look up and see what could have been. What a tragedy to become deeply informed about things far away while neglecting the people sitting across from you in your own living room. What a tragedy to model for your children a life ruled by distant distractions instead of faithful attention to what is nearest. The most important work most men will ever do is not flashy. It is the ordinary work of daily faithfulness. Listening well. Praying consistently. Teaching patiently. Working hard. Paying attention. Being fully present where God has placed you. That kind of life is built slowly. And so is its opposite. Tick. Tick. Tick. Do not waste your time. Spend it on what will still matter when the noise fades, and all that remains is what you built in the lives of those God gave you to love.

@saltypsych You said “the gospel is offensive enough on its own.” The book is about that. I recommend reading the book, it will provide additional clarity, potentially around marketing that offends you.
