Reading through an exposition of Revelation right now. Very good. I did not know that the Greek of Revelation is apocalypse. Also, this is primarily a book about JESUS CHRIST, not the tribulation. It is a revealing of Jesus Christ. I’ve missed so much in this book before!

I've read the Gospels cover-to-cover and missed the part where Jesus told His followers to blend in and keep quiet.

Petoskey, a small Northern Michigan town with fewer than 6,000 year-round residents, has joined the ranks of Nantucket, Mass. and Napa, Calif. as a luxury housing market where more than half of new home listings are priced at $1 million or above. Realtor.com identified 13 “pure luxury” U.S. housing markets where more than half of all active listings are priced at $1 million or above. The report, released April 8 and based on March 2026 data, put Petoskey in 11th place, with 53% of its active listings priced above $1 million. Petoskey’s median list price in March was $1.11 million, according to the report. Data showed the northwestern Lower Peninsula city has an average of about 104 million-dollar-and-up listings per year. Looks like Pellston (PLN) needs some more service...

My step-dad has been best friends with the same man since they were teens, for 70+ years. This best friend is in his last days with hospice. They played sports as teens, then worked side by side for their entire adult lives, never a ‘falling out.’ What a beautiful gift.

@Jo10030676 @made_in_cosmos My parents did that with my in laws. Sometimes they split a day. We appreciated it so much.

@made_in_cosmos @MizThatch We're 69/70 and look after our grandsons, now 19m and just turned 4 1X a week while our son works hybrid from our home. We make a point of not booking our other grandsons 11m/just turned 3 on back to back days! Son works shift work so we help out on more of an irregular basis.

There's a kid in our neighborhood whose grandpa & grandma take care of her full time. The last time I saw them at the playground she was strapped in her stroller watching an iPad. The grandparents look close to 70, and don't have the stamina to chase her around anymore.

@kellyma_michael @ButtercupPB @made_in_cosmos I said in another comment that my MIL did daycare out of her home. She sent the children of kids she had watched to kindergarten. I don’t think she is the norm, though.

@MizThatch @ButtercupPB @made_in_cosmos YMMV. In our case our daycare had relatively low turnover when we were there and quite often the kids spent 4 years of their life with some of the same people consistently for 40 hours a week.

@ButtercupPB @made_in_cosmos There are a lot of ‘what if’s’ to look at, for sure.

@MizThatch @made_in_cosmos Many grandparents are not as physically capable of caring for an infant or toddler due to age/disability. A toddler isn’t safer with a grandparent if the grandparent is too slow to catch him if he tries to run into the street.

@DermaFaire @VoicesUnheard Yep. Good to talk about it to give other people thoughts & ideas in case they ever encounter a situation such as this.

@MizThatch @VoicesUnheard Unfortunately advocates do not know the steps taken as an advocate in a distressful situation.

Medical gaslighting, this is extremely hard to watch 💔 Using the word "hysterical" in 2026 to ignore a woman's pain is shameful. It's not a diagnosis; it’s a tool for gaslighting and withholding care. 😡

@Ellabelladuh @made_in_cosmos Lol

@MizThatch @made_in_cosmos Daycares do not have screen time.

@kellyma_michael @ButtercupPB @made_in_cosmos I took care of some of the children for iver a decade. In comparison ⬇️

@MizThatch @ButtercupPB @made_in_cosmos Were you spending 8 hours a day 5 days a week with those kids?

@ButtercupPB @made_in_cosmos As a generalization, if I had to choose I’d take the love and protection of a typical grandparent over what is provided by a typical daycare provider all day, every day. (My MIL was a daycare provider when my husband was young - also exceptional, but IMO family is USUALLY best.)

@MizThatch @made_in_cosmos Sure, but that doesn’t mean kids aren’t loved by their teachers. I can tell you right now, my sister would take a bullet to protect any of those kids in her daycare, and we’ve seen teachers do exactly that at Sandy Hook and other school shootings.

@ButtercupPB @made_in_cosmos I was a Peds RN for many years, and we had the same children in & out with chronic diseases, or long term patients. I ‘loved’ them but my investment in my grandkids’ lives is in a different level.

@MizThatch @made_in_cosmos Please don’t think that daycare teachers don’t love the children in their care. My sister manages a daycare and loves those kids to pieces.

@DeaceOnline "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

You really want your mind blown? He didn’t give them a Bible, either. See the problem?

@N0GreaterLove @_jeremiahj Interesting. I’m new to Mr Johnston having just heard him speak on the Shroud of Turin (which swayed my opinion greatly towards believing it is legitimate).

@MizThatch @_jeremiahj Most scholars estimate Jesus walked between 2,500 and 3,125 miles, so what Jeremiah Johnston appears to have done is factor in all the festivals Jesus attended between the ages of 12 to 30 years old, which of course He would have attended as a faithful Jew.

Jesus Christ walked 20,000 miles in his ~ 3.5 years of ministry. - Theologian Jeremiah Johnston Assuming he didn’t walk on the Sabbath, that averages out to ~ 19 miles/day over 3.5 years.

@ProfMChung @kkdumez Read the books by @EllenSVaughn - she was given a lot of journals by Elliott’s daughter, Val.

@kkdumez I heard Lars, Elliott’s husband, destroyed a lot of her journals. How were you able to find source material on Elisabeth Elliott.

5 years after JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE, I’m thrilled to announce my next book, LIVE LAUGH LOVE. It’s a book about Jen Hatmaker and Joanna Gaines and LuLaRoe and Little House and Elisabeth Elliot and Hallmark movies and Erika Kirk. And it’s a book about power—

@tonytypesalot Agree.

A fifty-year legal immigration freeze sounds like a pretty good start to me.

@SammyJankisCPA @DrJesseMorse I mean…when we’re surrounded by toxins that cause disease & disability, it makes sense to go after the low hanging fruit & eliminate the easiest & least costly offenders.

@DrJesseMorse I’ll be getting my 6th tattoo after my dog passes. Not concerned about information you shared when the air I breathe has toxins. The water I drink has toxins. The food in America is overprocessed garbage. Some additional ink in my skin isn’t going to move the needle much IMO

If you are thinking about getting a tattoo, have one, or even several, you might want to read this information below. I have come to the belief that tattoos will cause disease, and possibly even cancer. It’s not all that far fetched either. You are putting a toxic chemical into the largest organ in your body, where it then absorbs and migrates throughout the body, essentially provoking reactions of the immune system. Those reactions might be silent, they might be loud, they might be lurking, slowly developing. Yes, you can have the tattoo ink removed, but the damage is done. Your body, your choice. The message I’m trying to get across here is that you need to understand the risks of tattoos before you make a decision that you can’t undo.

@AppyOrtho There’s a really cute song using that name! ‘Girl Named Tennessee…’ youtu.be/EeujRRzbHqo

You can only name your child Tennessee if they turn out to be really really cool. 🤣

@CVernonSmith Can you give an example to back up your claim? I’ve followed @megbasham on this platform and instagram for several years and I don’t recall ever seeing something I’d describe as vicious. And I mean never. I feel your claim is one of character defamation.

Says someone who viciously, personally attacks anyone who votes differently than her, usually based on trumped-up nonsense.
