So I watched "The Passion of the Christ" last night. And I am on my back deck tonight thinking.
Think about this.
In the movie, they have beaten him to near death and when they first take him to his cross, Jesus clings to it, and the thief chastised him for embracing his own cross. Mocking him for doing so.
Then Christ gave all he had to carry that cross which weighed as much as him.. They beat him while he did. It came to the point that his physical body couldn't carry it any longer, so a man was ordered to carry it with him. Yet Christ still clung to the cross.
Do you know why?
Because he knew at the other end of that short journey was OUR freedom. Not his.... OURS..... with every single step, with every drop of blood, with every single tear, he knew he was one moment closer to being at the right hand of the Father and his mission complete to free us all.
The man embraced the cross. Begged God to forgive the men nailing him to it. Begged God to forgive those that had beaten him with whips and canes and hammered a crown of thorns on his head.
He embraced it all.... for US......
And now, when times get hard and life gets even slightly uncomfortable, we claim that "God isn't listening and won't take my burden" as if we even know what a real burden is...
How many times would we cling to the proverbial cross for another and suffer as he did to free them from the pain? Would we ever do it at all? Maybe for our own child? Maybe?
As you lay down tonight, pray a prayer of thanks. Not for the normal things. Not tonight. Tonight, pray a special prayer of thanks that he held on to that cross and carried it as far as his mortal body would allow... because that took more dedication than any of us could give for anyone.
By the time you wake up in the morning, he will have risen, 2000 years ago. He will have beat death. 2000 years ago, all the sin you and I will ever commit was paid for because he clung to that cross like it was a lifeline.... not for him... But for you and me.

🚨#BREAKING: Father of 22-year-old Logan Federico is screaming at Democrats in Congress after his daughter was dragged from bed, forced on her knees, and executed...
...by a man arrested 39 TIMES with 25 FELONIES!!!
We need to hold judges & DAs responsible for releasing vicious murderers on innocent victims.
Everyone who let this demon walk freely, should be in prison.

NEW: Jaden Ivey says it is sinful for a man to lie with another man, says no one can stop him from speaking the truth.
Ivey accused the Bulls of lying when they claimed his conduct was "detrimental" to the team.
"I'm not against the man or the woman, I'm against what is contrary to the word of God."
"I can proclaim the truth, what the word of God says. I can do that with freedom. I have a mouth to speak. No one can stop me."
"The devil wants me to stop speaking the truth."

Got a letter from the HOA yesterday
Actual letter
In an envelope
With a stamp
In 2026
The letter said my trash can was visible from the street for too long on collection day
The fine is $50
I checked my Ring camera
The truck came at 7:03am
I brought the can in at 7:14am
11 minutes
$50
That's $4.55 per minute of trash can visibility
My therapist charges $250 an hour
That's $4.17 per minute
My trash can sitting in a driveway is now more expensive per minute than therapy
I looked at the letter again
It was signed by the HOA president
Her name is Karen
Of course it is
I know this woman
She lives four houses down
She still has Christmas lights up
It's March
I know because I drive past them twice a day
And because that's what I do
I checked the HOA bylaws
All 47 pages
Section 4.2 says all exterior fixtures and lighting must be seasonal and removed within 30 days of the applicable holiday
Her lights have been up for 97 days
I went to the HOA meeting
Tuesday night
7pm
In a church basement
Folding chairs
Fruit platter that nobody touched
Seven people showed up
Four of them were on the board
The other three were there to complain
I was there to read
My wife came with me
She didn't want to
But she said "if I don't come you'll end up on the news"
I brought my legal pad
Karen called the meeting to order
She talked about community standards
She talked about property values
She talked about the importance of curb appeal
From a woman whose Christmas lights are still blinking in March
I raised my hand
She said "we'll take questions at the end"
I said "it's not a question. It's a point of order."
She looked at me
I opened my legal pad
I said "Section 4.2 requires seasonal decorations to be removed within 30 days. Your Christmas lights have been up for 97 days. You fined me $50 for 11 minutes of trash can visibility on collection day while you've been in violation for over three months."
The room was quiet
One of the other three complainers said "he's right"
The board members looked at each other
Karen said "that's a separate issue"
I said "it's the same bylaws"
She said "we'll review it"
I said "I already did. Page 12. Happy to share my highlights."
My wife looked at the ceiling
Some things never change
Karen said "I think we should move on"
I said "agreed. I'll move on when the Christmas lights do."
Nobody laughed
I wasn't joking
I paid the $50
Because it's $50 and I'm not going to die on that hill
But if the rules apply to me they apply to everyone
So I filed a formal complaint about the lights
With photos
Timestamped
Funny how surveillance works both ways
The fine for seasonal decoration violations is $75 per occurrence
She's been in violation for 67 days past the 30-day grace period
I'll let her do the math
Or I'll do it for her
Because that's what I do
Make common sense common again
Plz fix. Thx.

Stephen A. Smith calls Marco Rubio “the adult in the room,” saying his experience and leadership make him a formidable candidate against a weak Democratic field:
“Marco Rubio is the adult in the room. I think he’s incredibly qualified. Obviously, he’s been a senator for a long time before he became Secretary of State, and now he’s the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. He knows what he’s talking about. He knows Capitol Hill. He knows the people, and he’s not running up against somebody like me, in all honesty. Because of that, you know what? I think he would be a prime candidate, considering the candidates that the Democrats would roll out there. If it’s not somebody like Josh Shapiro, I don’t see how it’s going to happen, because I don’t see anybody else in the Democratic Party in line to go up against him. I don’t.”

Stephen A. Smith says the Democratic Party is leaderless and in disarray, arguing failed leadership and political missteps have left them struggling to regroup:
“The fact is, it’s leaderless, it’s rudderless, and it has been that way for a very, very long time because of things that happened with Joe Biden—because of the lies that were told to protect him and shield him and the Democratic Party from the kind of things that were going on during that administration. It came back to bite them, particularly with the election. We all know this to be true. And since that time, they’ve been in flux. Democrats all over the place recognize the fact that there needs to be somebody capable of stepping up to be a leader. That person has been trying to be Gavin Newsom, who has decided that governing is something else that needs to be just as much, if not more, of a priority than trolling Trump and trying to beat Trump at his own game. I don’t believe that’s going to work.”
