Reflections of the History Guy

Ice cream bars, popcorn, frozen taquitos, cookies, and peanuts have led to either an upset or empty stomach, and to ask if my soul is likewise upset or empty

“For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)”

Yesterday, Sunday, I only went outside twice for the sake of the puppy and nowhere else and accomplished little else. The previous day, I saw John Wick: Chapter 4 and having had too many carbohydrates, Being Scott Malkinson made me sluggish all day along with the food choices I described above. Often I have a general feeling of malaise when I think about my present circumstances and what I am trying to do, yet I was reminded by my supervisor that I am here now, and that encourages.

I am Klaus

Surprising no one, John Wick Chapter 4 is spectacular. The first still has the most heart and restraint, but 4 is easily the best of the sequels. So much action, so many great characters and so much beautiful action and visual flare.

“The LORD is far from the wicked,
but he hears the prayer of the righteous. (Proverbs 15:29)”

Love Will Turn You Around

Yes, life does get to me occasionally, but an unexpected call on Facebook Messenger from a Swedish friend, a song by Kenny Rogers, and Buddy Daddies can cheer me up for a little while.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 ESV)”
