Today begins much change. A new way of living, a sharply contrasted “new chapter.” A necessary reliance on God Almighty, and an adventure to boot. Today is my first Monday self-employed. This morning was my first mass as acolyte. I deserve neither of these opportunities, yet here we are. I’ll also break 2k followers on X today. I don’t care nearly as much about that, but by golly, it all lines up so well…

First 5 orders will receive a free Ryan Hall Leather tobacco bowl!

@nickdelatorre Today I drove home from work. For the last time.

I made a deal with God All of the equity / ownership I have now in Hallow will go back to the Church All of this was a gift given to me by the Lord and His Church. It deserves to be returned. I am the largest individual equity holder in Hallow, so I guess that makes the Church the largest instead. I say all this here just for the folks who fear this whole thing is a money grab. No investor controls Hallow. In humility, I do. This thing exists to help you pray and to reach out to those who are most lost. No other reason. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
