In the time since Date::Lectionary was added to CPAN, I’ve been working hard to get a perfect Kwalitee score and make a really solid distribution. Documentation on how to make a module are all over the place and I’ve yet to see a good, single article or post to explain how to do it. This is my attempt, I hope you find it useful.
I like keeping my POD within the code of the module I’m developing and having the README file(s) automatically generated from that. Below is a simple shell script I’ve developed as part of my authoring process to generate well-formed readme files in Markdown, POD, and plaintext. Having all three formats means that GitHub and MetaCPAN both have what they need to render my README as best as possible.

I’ll give a review of the NuVision tablet at some point in the future, but after I spent two! days getting Windows updated to the newest release, I quickly enabled the Windows subsystem for Linux and installed Debian.

From outward appearances in the news and social media, version 2.0 of the Women’s March was even less unified than the inaugural event of 2017. Saturday’s gatherings across the nation involved feminists, Black Lives Matters, labor movements, immigration activists, Democrats, and a host of other concerns. Though headlines were careful to present female-only images of the events, candid photos on my social media feed show many men co-opting the movement as well. — I should also note how the movement is already experiencing commercialization and participation in the march commoditized (especially via social media posts). —

Salvation is an unwarranted gift of grace from God offered to all of humanity. All the children of Adam and Eve are born into sin and death. Humanity has distanced itself from God and has brought corruption into God’s good creation. God, in his infinite mercy, looked down and saw that there was no one to rescue humanity from her fall, so he decided to save her himself (Isaiah 63:5). As his voice created all things ex nihilo at the genesis, so his eternal Λόγος came “mighty to save” (Isaiah 63:1) and to make “all things new” (Rev 21:5).

To enable search, I decided to use the Lunr.js library. Lunr is simple to use and has just the right amount of features for adding some simple search capabilities to your site. To start, you’ll need to create a JSON index of your site for Lunr to use. I put this layout under _default and called it search.json.
A modern English translation of Andreas Althamer’s 1527 Dialloge hoc est, conciliatio locorum scripturae, qui prima facie inter se pugnare videntur extended and translated into early Modern German in 1528 in Nürnberg (Nuremberg) and published as Diallage, das ist vereynigung der streytigen sprüch der schrifft, welche im esten anplick, scheynen wider einander zesein.
Nichts streyten auch dise zwen sprüch / denn das herz Pharaonis ist ein mal verhert aus dem gericht Gottes / nacher nit mehr erweyckt. / Got hat im kein new hertz geben und das staynen herz von im genumen / sonder in seiner blindheyt gelassen / das er an im erzeygte sein glori. Darumb leydt nicht daran du sagest. / Pharao hab sein herz verhert oder sey im aus dem rath Gottes verhert worden. / Denn was Gott in uns thüt / das thun wir auch. / Was die axt thüt / das thut der zymmerman auch. / (Was der werckmeister thüt dz instrument auch) / feyrt er / sie auch wirckt er sei mit. / Der hamer schmidt mit dem schmid und ist baydes war / das fewz macht das eysen weych der schmid macht das eysen weych. / Pharao war ein vaß des zorns / und wiewol er etwo von seiner boßheit durch die mirakel und zaychen erschreckt / abstund / so ist erdoch bald wider in sin art geraten. / Er mochte nit warlich von herzen layd tragen uber sein boßheit / denn das staynen herz ward nicht von im genumen / sonder ye mehr und mehr wurde er verhert / nicts bewegt von wunder und zaychen. / Dann die natur Gottes ist / das sei die gotlosest mehr und mehr verstockt, / verblendt, und böser macht. / wie die sunne den schelmen stinckent macht / und die böse augen haben gar plendt / ist doch die ursach nicht in der sunnen / sonder an den augen und schelmen. / Also erregt Gottes wort die art der gotlosen / wo es auff sie scheynt / und ist doch den gotlosen wesen feynd / Psal. 5 wie die sunne dem gestanck / was für einer natur eyn yeder ist / also wirckt das wort in im. / Ist er aus Got geporen und ein Christ / so wirckt es in im leben und selickeit. / Ist er Adam und nicht widergepron / so wirckts nichts denn todt und verdammus in im. / Wie die sunne das wax waych macht, / den laym hört / das gras grün das hew dürr/ und ist doch ein sunne / die in einem yeden wirckt was es ist / und ist ein ursach aller ding on schuld.
