I'm still fairly new to being an elder, but anyone is welcome to listen to my sermons: cccmtairy.org/content.cfm?id…

@VIZMedia My younger self and I are not on speaking terms.

What would you say to your younger self? (via RWBY, Volume 9)

Conventions can be great fun! Fond memories of time with Arryn Zech and Barbara Dunkelman in 2024.

@grahamscheper Something that must be tried is a trend. Someone who must be fied on is a fiend. A companion who must have one of your fries is a friend.

There’s a cool feature in Latin, the gerundive, which is a verbal adjective implying that something should/must happen. A few of them survive into English words: If someone should be revered, they are “reverend”. If something must be cut away, it is a “dividend”. My favorite: if a story is so good that it simply must be read by everyone, it is “legend”! Latin reverendus/a, dividendum, and legenda. Pretty cool that what is sometimes a difficult concept for Latin learners is actually present in English, albeit rarely. Do let me know if there are any good ones I’ve missed.

@Brent_Hobbs I remember being taught, at Southern, in the year 2000, that you don't have to agree with the BFM to be Southern Baptist; the BFM just expresses where most Southern Baptists agree.

My word you all are doing to do the Law amendment AGAIN 🤦🏼‍♂️😂🤷🏼‍♂️
