Thanks, Jesse, for thinking of me when you watched Tom Wilson play songs in haiku.
Haikus for a year
Make me want to play guitar
Just like Biff Tannen
Tom Wilson is also on Netflix. I will definitely have to check it out.
I hope you all are having a happy Veteran’s Day.
On Sunday, this is what I’ll be wearing:

No, Mike, I haven’t converted to something, although you gotta admit that my wife’s texts were a lot funnier than my own. (I said I had converted to Awesomeness. She beat that.)
I’m wearing it in solidarity with believers, specifically with Juma Nuradin Kamil’s family, around the world on a Sunday when we remember and pray for followers of Jesus who have been/are being persecuted. (Really, we should remember and pray all year long, which this app (for iPhone and Android) can help you with, but it’s also good to have a set day on the calendar.)
Thanks, Jeremy, for showing us this video that lines up with one of the songs we play. We won’t be showing it on Sunday, but it’s definitely worth a watch.
Art that expresses my heart? Sign me up.
Travis Prinzi of the Rabbit Room has a great article about telling a meaningful story, quoting from Walk the Line:
I mean, you can’t help nobody if you can’t tell them the right story.
I started a new story as part of NaNoWriMo, yes, but also because it’s straight from my heart. Each book I’ve written, I’ve rejected people-pleasing more and more and now write what I believe to be a good story and not what I think will sell (if you’ve watched the majority of what’s on TV, you’ll notice that it’s not always the best story that sells).
Thanks, Futile Ohm, for the link to the NaNoWriMo version of Scrivener. This project has so many character details that it definitely helps me keep all my notes organized. Anyone that has seen me in the midst of writing a novel knows that they should have bought stock in legal pads and tiny memo notebooks.
And for those praying about agents looking at my manuscripts and all that, James 4:2-3 had some insight for me this morning.
