I scribbled in the margins this morning that the passage below made me think of the amplifying effect of social media. But then I was struck by the idea that I might still have this Bible in 50 years. If I come across my marginalia 5 decades from now, will social media seem like a distant memory? I think so. But what will have risen in its place? It got me thinking a lot about what stands the test of time, and what doesn’t. It’s crazy to me that I can’t imagine social media, at least as it is now, being around for 50 more years, but these words are from 2,000 years ago.
Ephesians 4:17-19 NIV
[17] So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. [18] They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. [19] Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
I spent this morning writing an outline for a blog post with the draft title: “I spent eight years crafting the ultimate pocket journal setup”. I’ve been wanting to do this post for years, but it feels like it’s going to be a huge undertaking. I care about this a lot, so I really want to do it right and share all the details with more pictures than anyone probably cares to see. I can’t promise it will come soon, but I’m excited to start working on it.
Testing out a new newsletter template. It’s crazy how quickly I can make these changes with Claude’s help.
