&lt;p&gt;It was a fine name. It just was not me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When somebody followed that page, they were not following a media company. They were following a husband and a dad in Mississippi who posts verses, picks a few friendly fights about Bible topics, and tries to say true things in plain words.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Vehicle Maintenance Logbook</title><link>https://johneadams.me/books/vehicle-maintenance-logbook/</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://johneadams.me/books/vehicle-maintenance-logbook/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;One book for the whole household fleet: cars, the truck, a motorcycle, up to 6 vehicles in all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-is-inside"&gt;What is inside&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vehicle profile pages for up to 6 vehicles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;336 service entries with a Service / Parts Used column and a vehicle number on every row, so each entry ties back to the right vehicle&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fuel log for spotting a drop in gas mileage early&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trip and mileage log, handy at tax time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yearly expense summary that covers all 6 vehicles on one page&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Renewals and deadlines log for tags, inspections, and insurance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Accident record pages, a contacts and roadside help page, and a warning lights quick reference&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every time based section is sized to the same working life, about 10 years for a busy household, so no section runs out years before the others.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>About</title><link>https://johneadams.me/about/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://johneadams.me/about/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, I am John.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a husband and a father of five, living in Mississippi and working from home. I write about faith the way I talk about it at the kitchen table: plain, direct, and not scared of a hard topic.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Affiliate Disclosure</title><link>https://johneadams.me/affiliate-disclosure/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://johneadams.me/affiliate-disclosure/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Plain talk, because that is how we do things here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click one and buy something, the seller may pay me a small commission. It costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same either way.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Contact</title><link>https://johneadams.me/contact/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://johneadams.me/contact/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey. Glad you want to get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a prayer request or a note about a post, any of these reaches me. For book and business questions, the form topic list below helps me sort things, or just message me and say what it is about.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Privacy</title><link>https://johneadams.me/privacy/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://johneadams.me/privacy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This site is a static site. There is no account to create, no comment login, and no database of readers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;This site itself does not set tracking cookies.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The host may keep standard server logs (page requested, time, browser type) for security and basic counts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you use the contact form, the form provider receives what you type so it can deliver your message to me. Use the Facebook or Instagram message buttons instead if you prefer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When you click a product link and leave this site, the destination site (for example Amazon, Payhip, Etsy, or Ko-fi) has its own privacy policy, and that policy applies there.&lt;/li&gt;

The shop itself runs on the stores linked below, this page is just the front door.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stuff I Use and Recommend</title><link>https://johneadams.me/recommended/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://johneadams.me/recommended/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Everything on this page earned its spot. I recommend what I use in my own house, at my own table, with my own family. If a link here is an affiliate link, it is marked at the bottom of this page and in the footer, and it never costs you a penny extra.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
