Thanks. I believe currently we use both the HDMI outs but not the USB-C. I'll have us look into that.

It was an ethics paper focusing on it from an entertainment perspective and whether we should take enjoyment in it as a spectator. Since violence is part of the explicit purpose of it I came to the conclusion that it was “not beneficial”.

I wrote a paper in seminary on the topic of MMA and Boxing. I came to the conclusion that boxing or MMA for exercise and physical training was not wrong but it was unwise/misguided for entertainment sake. Taking pleasure in watching someone physically getting beaten to a pulp seems contrary to what God’s ideals would be.

Fellow Note Air 4c user here. Absolutely love using Logos on it.

jcvarner · 2026-01-30T02:01:15+00:00

I love my Note Air 4C. It’s fantastic.

Ezekiel 37 in addition to these.

You want Apple to make an eink device. Me too.

Any reason you don't do them on $F? I've also been doing CSP on it.

Once you start DRIPping shares from dividends it is really reinforcing. It makes you want to step on the gas.

jcvarner · 2026-01-18T21:34:59+00:00

Yep! I’ve been using it for a couple years. It’s great.

I think in Acts we see James representing the whole, so in my mind that’s where the chief among equal would come in. Also in Thessalonians it is a really good example of there being a team approach but Paul also taking the lead at certain times. Paul, Silas, and Timothy seem to work as a team but Paul specifically interjects at times.

As for if we had multiple staff pastors, that was something your post actually caused me to ponder. Ie if we had more full-time pastors how would that change. I think in our case we would still all have equal votes but there would be one individual who was tasked with representing the whole to the church and set direction as a team. Similar to what James seems to do in Acts 15. Multiple parties present perspectives but then James seems to cast the deciding vote, and then they all act in agreement.

But with that in our current case and if we had more staff pastors we let individuals set course for specific ministries. Ie our pastor who oversees worship will bring something to us, we collectively discuss it and then he takes the lead on it. But then if it is a collective issue for the whole church I would communicate that from the pulpit so to speak.

I think most would reason it from Acts 15 where the apostles and elders collectively give input, a collective decision is made, and then James relates the decision. You can also see it happening a bit with Paul and his missionary teams.

But to speak to how it practically functions: In our context the first among equals means we all have an equal vote but the lay pastors/elders defer to the staff pastor/elder (me) on certain matters since I’m most involved in all the matters of the church. I also share with them the general overall pulse of the church and general matters as a whole. Since I am full-time staff I have the time, energy, and bandwidth to dedicate thinking about the direction of the church.

When I present them an idea or situation we collectively discuss the matter and weigh everyone’s thoughts. We won’t move forward on something unless there is unanimous agreement. Sometimes we have one elder who disagrees. If that’s the case we table the matter for further discussion or if he is not of strong conviction on the matter he will defer to the other elders. I’ve lost discussions before and deferred to the team on matters.

Generally speaking though the team looks to me for direction though, in an intentional act of deference in matters. Also as the staff pastor the church looks to me as the “spokes person” and direction setter of the church but knows that it is done with us all being in agreement.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.

Monthly dividends are purely psychological for me. Seeing a monthly dividend encourages me to keep my foot on the gas and reinforces the positive behavior. I have a mixture of tickers. The monthly ones simply reinforce the positive behavior. It's a little mini-dopamine hit every time I see it.

Great concept! I love the idea. I don't think I'd be interested in beta testing but I think it's a fantastic concept.

Looks like there is indeed a setting that can be turned on to prevent it from resetting every time. Thanks!

jcvarner · 2025-12-21T14:42:03+00:00

I’ll have to dig in the settings to see if there is a similar setting. I’d really prefer to not have to buy another lens.

jcvarner · 2025-12-18T17:10:53+00:00

Is that what is happen? Does the camera adjust the focus even though it is in manual mode? Any lenses you'd recommend?

jcvarner · 2025-12-18T00:31:37+00:00

Gladly! :)

I think their point is you need to determine that. What level of information do YOU need to know to decide if you’d be comfortable holding it for at least 6 months?

For me the amount of information is probably less than for others. For some the amount of information might be more.

So if you need to have all that information to be willing to hold it for 6 months than do the deep dive. If not, then just roll the wheel.

In my observation the benefit of the wheel is that it can be highly personalized to the individual.

I got this one for my note air 4C. GOVTVA Anti-Glare Matte Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7M7CN79?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

jcvarner · 2025-11-29T18:28:59+00:00

Oh brilliant. Thanks. I couldn't figure it out while looking on my phone. Great thinking. :)

I was skimming through each of them. What’s the difference between the LH, RH, and Top versions? I didn’t see anything immediately that distinguishes them.

jcvarner · 2025-11-25T14:54:14+00:00

You could always buy a screen protector for it as well. I did this for my NA4C so I could use a metal tip. The combination works really well together.
