Peace, Justice, and Meatballs

BTW #002: Keller on justice, off to first grade, and more.

Hello there, and happy Thursday to you.

Welcome to the second edition of BTW, my new paid feature, where I get a bit more personal and share things I probably wouldn’t share to the thousands of people who subscribe for free.

Here’s the rundown for this week:

• Looking Back…: highlights from the last week or so

• Let’s Talk: a one-take, laid-back walk through what I wrote on Tuesday (and other things)

• The Funny Part: a funny piece of the internet that hasn’t yet made it to The Funnies

• Some Links: thing I’ve been reading online

• A Quote to Consider: something to think about from something I’ve read recently

• Some Art: a cool picture or piece of art I saw this week

Looking Back

Let me tell you what I’ve been up to this week and perhaps make some recommendations for you (or tell you things to avoid, even!).

What’s been on my mind this week? Maggie, our firstborn, started first grade earlier this week. By the grace of God she went in without tears, which Susie and I were both concerned about because she had a hard time going back to school a few times after extended breaks last year. But she saw some staff she loved and ran right in. I’m going to write about our girls going to school soon. So I’ll leave the rest for that piece next week.
