@TrevorSheatz So she slept with other guys, but wouldn't sleep with you...

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

@TerrellTres No

@Thiss_Youu Well, copying from one is plagiarism. But copying from many is called research.

@EndWokeness Wtf

Chicago Mayor Johnson: "We cannot jail our way out of vioIent crime… it's racist"

@tubbyonhere @keithtaylor21 I try

@CyberGhostRecon @keithtaylor21 Thanks ghost recon, how could we ever function without this insightful input

Pope on how injuries affected the team's scheme: "J Lo is a left handed point guard, so we made a cautious decision last spring when we secured his services, that we were going to change the orientation of everything that we did on the court to serve a left handed point guard. You might say, why does that matter? With a bunch of things. One, it actually suits a right handed big extremely well in a lot of ways. And point guards and bigs work together a lot in a general pick and roll. If you have a point guard that comes off the ball screen to his left, you get to have a big man that's rolling to his right. It's way more effective than what you traditionally have, which is trying to serve a right handed point guard, rolling to his going to his right, and a left handed big trying to roll and finish with his left. So you get straight trying to finish a right handed, yeah, a right handed point guard, and then you have a right handed big trying to finish with his left. You get both guys working their strong hand. Really, really important. And we changed the orientation of everything we did on the offense. We got all the way to the blue, white scrimmage. We lose J Lo, but we said, hey, we're going to keep it this way, because we're going to get them back. And we did get them back. And then it was just this, you know, by the time we got to, you know, through St John's to January, find like, you know, this is going to be really he finally decided to have surgery. "

@KySportsRadio It's all hearsay at this point

Glad he said this. Probably should have just said this when asked in Press conference. I always thought the story was false and am glad Pope responded

@KySportsRadio He got hurt before the season began. That's not a good enough excuse on how the season turned out.

Mark Pope says they created the offense around having a Left handed point guard and thus when he got hurt it changed the way they had to play

@DefiantLs Who's "democracy"?

Chuck Schumer on the SAVE America Act: “It ain’t passing, it will destroy our democracy.”

@RoundOfShots @coreyp08 vs @TBrown_80 on the next @RoundOfShots

Kentucky Basketball Season Ends with Round 32 loss to Iowa St, The Port-Mortem Discussion x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@RoundOfShots @TBrown_80 tell us how you really feel lol. Good rant.

@JonRothstein Let's be honest, ESPN and the Refs are in bed with Duke

The ACC sent eight teams to the NCAA Tournament and only one --- Duke --- will play in the Sweet 16.

@BleedBNetwork That guy has no idea what he's talking about. It's not Apples to Apples.

These takes are so incredibly bad

@cartierfamilyZ Because Lindsey Graham is holding Trump hostage to try and get the SAVE Act to pass in the Senate. Same situation as how the Big Beautiful Bill was passed.

If the economy is tanking because of the war in Iran why is this administration allowing this to continue to drag on? 🤔 if it’s America first then let’s put America first and prioritize the citizens no?

@GoodmanHoops The only reason BBN does not want Pope gone now, even though he should, is because we don't want Mitch making another hire.

This Kentucky team fought back this season to make it respectable, but Mark Pope will have some pressure on him entering Year 3. And most important aspect will be putting together the roster.

@CatsVsEveryone "Gold standard"

26 losses in two years.

@NewBBNMemes Substitution tactics

Kentucky has now been eliminated in the first weekend of the Tournament 4 of the last 5 appearances What needs to change?

@BleedBNetwork Mitch needs to leave, immediately. You cannot "retire" yet take a near $1 mil salary for doing nothing.

Mitch Barnhart does not get enough hate for putting UK basketball in this situation…and gets $950K to boot

@SteinsStuds Without cause? Piss poor seasons is not a "cause" to terminate?

Pope’s deal also includes strong protection in the event of termination. If Kentucky were to fire him without cause, the school would owe 75% of his remaining guaranteed compensation. Following the Sweet 16 extension, that figure is estimated at approximately $18 million in remaining salary, meaning a buyout of roughly $13.5 million, according to USA TODAY Sports.

@TristanUda Jokes on them, they were hammered

Kentucky assistant Mark Fox tells the team every game, "Be the hammer, not the nail." They had a hammer taped up in the locker room. Unfortunately, they were the nail today.
