God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, seek it, or appreciate it after they have been saved by it.

@TedyhereMC Nobody is ready.

Not to be a downer. If anyone could say some prayers for my mother. She is now on oxygen and hasnt really been responsive for 2 days now. We are making her comfortable and have Hospice care at her home with us. Thought I was ready, turns out I am not.

A thought sent back in time to the theocracy panic of 2005: If you dislike the religious right, wait till you meet the post-religious right.

One of the greatest and oldest special effects in history can be witnessed in Rome today And it has been playing out, on cue, for nearly 2000 years... Each year on April 21, the traditional birthday of Rome — the legendary date Romulus founded the city in 753 BC — the midday sun pierces the oculus at the crown of the Pantheon's dome and casts a perfect disk of light that settles squarely on the temple's entrance. For roughly two minutes and fifty seconds, the bronze doors blaze gold... At that exact moment, the Emperor would step across the threshold, his body swallowed in sunlight, as though the heavens themselves were handing him the city. Hadrian's engineers designed the entire building as a cosmos in miniature: the interior is exactly 43.3 metres wide and 43.3 metres tall, meaning a perfect sphere fits inside it. The Roman senator Cassius Dio wrote that the vaulted roof was meant to resemble the heavens themselves...

A short while ago, in full coordination with the local community of Debel in southern Lebanon, the damaged statue was replaced by IDF troops. The Northern Command worked to coordinate the replacement of the statue from the moment it received the report of the incident. The IDF expresses deep regret over the incident, and is working to ensure that it does not happen again in the future.

A young fan at a Pittsburgh Pirates game was spotted wearing a jersey with the number 28 by outfielder Jake Mangum himself. He threw a ball towards her, caught by the girl’s big brother, who handed it to her. @DavidMuir shares the sweet sibling moment. abcnews.go.com

this is lovely; watch to the end

@pilgoth @jdflynn Yes!!

I hate, hate, hate being forced to watch a video to learn something when I could read at 10x the speed. Videos are for cattle. "Hey guys, today we'll be talking about X -- X is a fascinating topic, and a lot of you have been requesting I talk about X, so..." - Shut up, Shut up!

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

@SouthernKeeks Praying for them.

If you would, please pray for my Aunt Diane and her two daughters. My aunt is about to enter hospice care for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer that has spread to her brain. We ask for comfortable days where she’s overwhelmed by love. Life is so very precious. 💗

you will not be sorry you watched this

This has gotta be one of the best Pirate player fan moments in PNC Park history. So cool.

The Bird That Sews Its Own Nest!

I do think it’s telling that David French goes on a show in good faith, knowing it’s going to be an interrogation session, and he posts nothing about it but this while Allie and her team post clip after clip of what they see as “gotcha” moments.

@Andrewnsnyder You def should.

I should buy some books tonight.

Principal Kirk Moore, who tackled the school shooter, walked into prom a few days later to a huge celebration from the students and was named prom king.

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.
