Buying a generator has been on my list of things to do for years. Growing up, my uncle, who worked for the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management, often encouraged me to be prepared for emergencies. Back then, he warned that we were already a hundred years overdue for major movement on the San Andreas Fault, and we’ve only added more years since he first said that.

A nation does not collapse because people disagree. Scripture never warns against disagreement. It warns against division — the kind that corrodes trust, dissolves shared standards, and turns neighbor against neighbor. The Bible is blunt about it: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Christ wasn’t offering a metaphor. He was stating a law of reality. No structure survives internal fracture.

History confirms what Scripture declares. Every nation that rotted from within followed the same pattern:[Read more…]

If you practiced any form of martial arts regularly, many of the movements would eventually become second nature, instinctive. If you were ever thrust into a physical confrontation, you’d likely fare better than most because you’d react quickly and naturally, without needing to stop and think through your response the way others might.

Life works in a similar way. It echoes that old idea that we become what we think about most. If your attention is fixed on everything wrong in the world, you’ll have no trouble finding more of it. But if your focus is on[Read more…]

Introducing Favicon FP Suite for FlatPress: A One‑Stop Favicon Generator Built From Real‑World Frustration

Anyone who has ever tried generating a complete favicon set online knows how messy the process can be. Some tools claim to be “free,” but only give you a couple of the required images. Others hide essential formats behind paywalls. And even the paid generators often feel clunky, outdated, or incomplete. After bouncing between multiple sites and still ending up unsure whether the icons were correct for all browsers and devices, it became clear: a simpler solution was needed.

That’s why I created Favicon FP Suite, a plugin that provides a complete favicon and app icon system for FlatPress. It includes:

In anticipation of some projects I plan to tackle over the next couple of months, it felt like the right time to revisit my small shop area in the garage and make better use of the space. I wanted to improve my workflow, increase efficiency, and finally add a workbench with a pegboard back so the tools I use most often would be right at hand.

This post marks the beginning of a new series collected under the AI Perspective category. Over the past year, I’ve been shaping a companion voice — Hank — to help bring clarity, steadiness, and principled reflection to the moment we’re living in. His role is simple: to ground today’s challenges in Scripture, U.S. history, and the founding principles that formed this country. I’m glad to introduce his first contribution here.

Having started in the tech industry during the days of DOS and XT computers and before computer networks were even a thing in most businesses, I’ve had the privilege of watching technology evolve from clunky command lines to cloud-powered ecosystems. Back then, change came slowly. A moderately significant advancement might arrive every year or so, and truly groundbreaking shifts were rare enough to feel seismic.

Today, that rhythm is gone. Innovation moves at breakneck speed. What once took years now happens in months, or even weeks. And while this acceleration has brought incredible tools and capabilities, it’s also introduced a new kind of risk: the temptation to adopt without understanding.

I’ve seen this firsthand, from the early rush into cloud computing to today’s headlong sprint toward artificial intelligence. Don’t get me wrong: I’m excited about AI. I believe it holds immense potential to elevate human creativity, solve complex problems, improve healthcare, and expand access to knowledge. But I’m also concerned.

Are You Equally Yoked? Do you know what that phrase means?

When talking about relationships and dating, you might have heard the term equally yoked. If you’ve spent time in church, odds are you’ve heard a sermon or two about its significance. And if you’re seriously considering marriage, it’s a metaphor worth taking to heart.

I didn’t fully grasp the weight of the phrase when I first heard it years ago from a friend. Honestly, my mind went straight to egg yolks. Curious—and admittedly confused—I asked how eggs related to relationships. My friend laughed kindly and gave a quick explanation: it’s about couples sharing similar values and perspectives.
