shut up, sit down, and read

up, down, and all around

LINK: up, down, and all around

Currently listening to: Whataya Want From Me – Adam Lambert
The song was written by P!NK but then offered to Adam Lambert.

Hey, slow it down
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Yeah, I’m afraid
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn’t give a damn
But now here we are
So whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

Just don’t give up
I’m workin’ it out
Please don’t give in
I won’t let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

Yeah, it’s plain to see
That baby you’re beautiful
And there’s nothing wrong with you
It’s me, I’m a freak
But thanks for lovin’ me
Cause you’re doing it perfectly

It’s the theme song for millennials that still remains relevant.

Relationships.
Friendships.
Parents.
Jobs that ask for too much.
We’ve spent our entire lives working it out…

It’s 2026 and the song still slaps.

Also, WP, whataya want from me?
Regardless, I still write for me…

    That WP chart… I can’t 😂 “It was the best of times… It was the worst of times.” My subscriber #s have plateaued since they changed the Discovery page and replaced “Recommended” with “Freshly Pressed.” The former was organic and dynamic, reader driven; the latter is up to the WP powers that be and static.

        We satisfied ourselves first with our writing and let others read it.

    I hate graphs with misleading scales. The range there is 20 out of ~1600̀, but the scale makes it look like a sea change. A hair over 1%, a sea change? I don’t think so.

    Or maybe I’m just bitter about my (lower) numbers…

    But hey, you’re up a net 5 subscribers!

    A Prayer For All Pastors Around The World

    Heavenly Father
    Today I lift up every pastor, shepherd, and minister carrying Your people across the world.
    From small churches to big ones, in cities and villages, in every nation and language You know them by name

    Lord, strengthen them.
    Renew their strength like eagles. Isaiah 40:31
    When they are weary, be their rest. When they are empty, fill them again with Your Spirit.
    Protect their health, their family, and their mind. Give them a sound mind and peace that guards their heart. 2 Timothy 1:7, Philippians 4:7

    Lord, anoint them.
    Put fresh fire on their lips when they preach Your Word.
    Give them wisdom to counsel, discernment to lead, and love to shepherd well. James 1:5
    Let their teaching bring light, healing, and freedom. Proverbs 4:18
    Guard them from attack, discouragement, and burnout. Let no weapon formed against them prosper.

    Lord, provide for them.
    Meet every need in their home and ministry. Open doors, send helpers, and release provision.
    Surround them with loyal co-laborers and a church family that honors and supports them.

    Lord, refresh them.
    Remind them why they said yes to You Restore their joy
    Let them see fruit from their labor. Let souls be saved, families restored, and lives transformed through their obedience

    I declare over every pastor
    You are called. You are covered. You are not alone.
    God who called you will equip you and sustain you to the very end. 1 Thessalonians 5:24

    Thank You for raising shepherds after Your own heart. Jeremiah 3:15
    Bless them, keep them, and let Your face shine upon them.

    In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen
