It's been a gift in recent years to collaborate with my friend @gpackiam on various ministry things. We're working on something really fun now. But there's a decent chance the Warriors and Nuggets play each in the first round and I don't know if our friendship will make it.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death." I first read the book around 2018 and found myself forgetting that it'd been written more than three decades prior. Replace "television" with "internet" and one can read it today and…
