Sometimes I want to respond to posts with something I think is hilarious and then I realize it will ruin my Christian witness and I need to repent.

@XAVIAERD The baby is responding to the “dad” chastising him. My husband made the point that moms parrot back the baby’s babbling, even if the baby doesn’t “know” what he’s saying. Instead this guy tells the baby “no.” Babies need moms!

Are y’all really acting like the baby understood what he was saying?

@Katy_Faust Also, it seems like the baby is responding to the “dad” chastising him. My husband made the point that moms parrot back the baby’s babbling, even if the baby doesn’t “know” what he’s saying. Instead this guy tells the baby “no.” Babies need moms!

It’s around the same time we started to see chubby mannequins.

@BiblicalBeauty This is so encouraging. Thanks for sharing.

Helen Roseveare, a missionary who faced intense suffering and persecution during her 20 years of service in the Congo, shares one of the times that she saw God answer prayer in a most unexpected way: "I went to have prayers with our orphanage children as I did every day, and any of the children wanted gathered around me for prayer time, and I'd give them different things to pray about. And this particular day, I told the children of this tiny baby and asked them to pray for the nurses that they would stay awake all night to keep that baby warm. If the baby got cold, it would die. I mentioned that the baby had a 2-year-old sister who was crying because her mommy had died. I mentioned the burst hot water bottle. During prayer time, different children prayed for different things, and then one little 10-year-old girl, Ruth, she prayed in the usual blunt way of our African children, 'Please, God, send us a hot water bottle. Now, God, it'll be no good tomorrow. Send it this afternoon. Now, if it comes tomorrow, the baby will be dead.' I'm sort of swallowing hard, and she said, 'While you're about it, God, would you send a dolly for the little 2-year-old sister, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?' And that afternoon, the parcel came. It was the first parcel I ever, I've been out there four years, I'd never had a parcel from home. And despite the fact I live on the equator, somebody packing that parcel had been prompted by God to put in a hot water bottle, and a child from my Bible class at home had put in a dolly for a little girl. And it came that afternoon in answer to a 10 year-old child's prayer, and the amazing thing was, you know, that parcel had been on the way five months to get to us. It had left England in July, and it came that afternoon, cause a child prayed."

I think the internet probably has more to do with it

@nienna121 I Posted this elsewhere earlier: Also, it seems like the baby is responding to the “dad” chastising him. My husband made the point that moms parrot back the baby’s babbling, even if the baby doesn’t “know” what he’s saying. Instead this guy tells the baby “no.” Babies need moms!

Surrogacy is unethical and wrong, but this video isn’t really that big of a deal. This kid is obviously just babbling, not asking for his mother. He doesn’t have the linguistic concept of that! Can everyone please stop being crazy omg

Why does the “what’s for dinner”question make me so mad?

Dads. Autocorrect incorrectly corrected me.

A point from my husband: new dad’s don’t automatically feel a connection to their newborn. The connection they feel first comes through their connection to their wives, which extends to the baby. This doesn’t work with surrogacy.

“He’s five months old. He doesn’t understand English.” Right. The baby understands something deeper. Why is it that “mama” (or some version of it) shows up in nearly every language on earth? Chinese, Arabic, Spanish. Cultures separated by continents, histories, and entirely different linguistic families — and yet they all landed on the same sound for the same person? That’s not coincidence. That’s anthropology. “Ma” is one of the very first sounds a baby can make. It’s the natural position of the mouth during nursing. Long before a child understands words, he forms that sound. And who answers? Across time, across cultures, across civilizations it is the woman who carried him, the woman whose body he knows. Humanity didn’t invent “mama.” We recognized it. So no, he doesn’t understand English. But he does understand that something (or someone) is missing. And what makes that video so disturbing isn’t just the cruelty of laughing at a distressed baby. It’s the denial of the human non-negotiable that children come from, and are made for, a mother. They can mock the baby's babbling. But the can't erase the reality it points to. That baby isn’t confused. The gay men are.

@MrsCMFrancis Plumeria!

Warm Vanilla Sugar what are we even taking about

@CHRISF0GLE The only problem I see is that the person didn’t capitalize “No One,” who is obviously a person who prefers hardbacks and reads a lot.

No one who actually reads often uses commas in that way

@hatfieldtweet Our neighbor came by and asked for butter. We happily obliged.

Anyone here ever been told by their mother to go next door and ask the neighbor for a cup of flour? Does that still happen anymore?

I love living in CA 🙄

Disturbing FACT: 30% of Gen Z Has Been Aborted That statistic blows my mind away...

@SteveDeaceShow @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork Keep it going!

@Anastasia_Hibbs That’ll do it 😂

What's an opinion that will get you into this situation? I'll go first. I can't stand dogs.

@SteveDeaceShow Do it. I know calling out Tucker is painful but we appreciate it! We

I will take on all attempts to mainline Islamism into the American Right and Americana overall with maximum prejudice.

@YourCalvinist Proper dad jokes and good theology are why I follow

Muslims do not love the true Jesus. Trump’s post as well as this response are both deserving of this meme:
