This Week's Recommendations

1.      Where do the Prayers of a Mom Go? I love this reflection from Sylvia Schroeder. She says, " My Mom will never be known through books or media, she wasn’t prominent in her community, nor did she pass on an inheritance of fame. Yet, her life rose much higher than diapers changed and tantrums stilled. It spanned veiled generations."

2.      Caring for Orphans Isn't a Command: Jason Johnson shares that, instead, "our participation in this work - and even more than that, our becoming these kind of people in the gospel - is “cleansing”. It puts a clean, unadulterated picture of the gospel on display, but it cleanses us as well.

3.      How to Become a Name Wizard: Remembering names matters and I need to improve. Dan Duckworth's practical suggestion begins with humility and care: "I became a Name Wizard when I discovered a reason to transcend my ego. Suddenly, what mattered most was that other people knew that I cared, that I valued them for their divine potential, whether we were strangers, acquaintances, or friends. Driven by that purpose, I could no longer tolerate social pretense. I had to be real. And this is real: “I don’t know [or remember] your name, but I want to.”"

4.      What is a Pupper? What is a Doggo? These final two are from my son who loves them. I think they're pretty cute too.

This is a h*ckin good explanation of all the puppers, doggos, and woofers that are popular in memes. DoggoLingo (aka Doggo-Speak or PupperSpeak) is an internet love language for man's best friend. A doggo is a dog. A pupper is a smol doggo. But a big ol pupper is a doggo.

5.      Doggo Chart: Breaking it down :).

There are too many doggos for just one diagram, so here's another chart explaining even more internet dog names. It's another h*ckin educate for all the meme fanatics and pupper-lovin frens. A doggo's tongue does many things. A mlem is when a doggo licks its chops.
