It doesn't matter who you vote for. It doesn't matter what your political persuasion is. It doesn't matter how much power you possess. It doesn't matter how much you've accomplished, how rich you may be, or how well known you are. This. Is. Not. Okay. “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove.” - Proverbs 24:17-18 This is not a political issue; this is a human issue.

U2’s “Beautiful Day” opens: The heart is a bloom / Shoots up through the stony ground / But there’s no room, no space to rent in this town In the Parable of the Sower the seed sown on “stony ground” sprouts up quickly but faces challenges due to shallow soil. Jesus: “And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.” (Mark 4:5-6 KJV) In the parable, the stony-ground seed represents initial enthusiastic growth that struggles or fails under adversity due to lack of deep roots. Bono’s allusion conveys resilience and hope amid hardship: an image of the heart pushing through obstacles toward beauty and renewal (even if precariously as in the parable). This sets up Bono’s broader message of finding a “Beautiful Day” despite chaos, loss, or barren circumstances — a hopeful twist on the parable’s warning about shallow faith.

Is this the greatest frontman in the history of rock???

In an interview in 1974, Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian pastor once imprisoned for 14 years, shared an important insight on the reason he experienced such intense persecution under Communist leaders: Pat Robertson: "That was your only crime, that you said, I want to bring men to eternal life, tell them they have an immortal soul, tell them about Jesus?" Wurmbrand: "Well, I would not say that this is the only thing. So much they would have allowed. Nothing would have happened to St. John the Baptist if he would have said only, 'Repent. The Kingdom of Heaven is near,' but when he said, 'You, Herod, are bad,' then he was beheaded. Jesus could have delivered hundreds of sermons on the mount and parables. Nothing would have happened to Him, but when He said, 'Woe unto you, hypocrite Pharisees,' then He was lost. And in preaching the Gospel, you have to do two things: to proclaim the Kingdom, but also to denounce sin. And we did this side, and the greatest sin committed in humanity today is Communism, not only that it has killed 60 million people in Red China and 30 million in Russia, but it poisons youth and children with atheism. It uses brainwashing. It puts Christians in psychiatric exams, not only in prisons where simply they break their will and their mind, and they try to subvert the whole world with Communism. So I preached both sides of the Gospel. I denounced the sin, and at the same time, I extended to them the invitation to come to the Kingdom."

guys i think i’m winning

SGA will win MVP again, which is completely uninspiring. His flopping sucks, he's not a great passer, rebounder or defender, yet none of these weaknesses really matter because his team has so much depth. He's never shown he can carry a team that isn't loaded, and he had chances to do so for several years! Great player in a great situation, but at this point, his resumé is more impressive than the actual player.

@MaryBowdenMD Nice! A car is an expense, not an investment

I just signed the papers on a Tesla and am waiting for it to arrive. The biggest appeal was the self-driving feature. Second was never having to go to the gas station again (convenience more than cost.) I decided to do a 3 year lease instead of buy as I suspect the car will be outdated soon given the speed with which the technology is advancing.

@CPowers14 He’s nba-ready

All Praise to Jesus Christ. The Lord Most High

In a league of tanking and load management it’s refreshing to see a guy who will do anything to play competitive basketball again.

Always thankful for having these two as franchise cornerstones. I didn't quite realize I have missed this SO much. The Jays forever, man 🥹
