Faithful thought.
Useful tools.
Better tables.

I’m David McDougal: a Christian, computer specialist, and board-game designer. This is a place for clear thinking, biblical conviction, and the kind of play that brings people together.

About Me My Thoughts

What You’ll Find Here

God, Geek, and Game.

Faith shapes how I serve, technology gives me tools to solve problems, and games create places where people can connect. I am a Reformed Baptist Christian, husband to Ainsley, lifelong support professional, technology enthusiast, and board-game designer. Much of my life has been spent helping people solve problems and looking for practical ways to serve my church, friends, family, and community.

Faith

Scripture-shaped reflections from a 1689 Reformed Baptist conviction: God speaks, Christ saves, and obedience is never detached from grace.

Technology

Practical computing, clearer systems, and tools that serve people rather than adding friction to their day.

Games

Board games, design notes, and the simple conviction that a table can be a remarkably good place to know people.

The Supervision Team

Ninja, Ronin, Bob, and Clio.

Verses That Steady Me

Direction before ambition.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is dignified, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, consider these things.

Psalm 5:3
O Yahweh, in the morning, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

1 Timothy 2:5–6
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

Malachi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says Yahweh of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and empty out for you a blessing until it is beyond enough.

From the pulpit.

Psalm 5 · July 2026

Pray, Watch, Obey

When pressure is waiting at the door, Psalm 5 gives a better first move: bring the burden before the Lord, watch for His answer, and walk in obedience.
