@Tyler2ONeil It would be a poor idea to come between me and my kids.

@EricLDaugh I roast turkey randomly. I love turkey. Love the left overs and I especially love making soup..I love the turkey, the gravy made with the turkey juices, I love all the sides that go with turkey. I LOVE turkey dinner.

🚨 JD VANCE: Turkey. Who REALLY likes turkey? Be honest. You're all full of sh*t, everyone who raised your hand! Here's how I know. How many times do you roast an 18-pound turkey randomly? Nobody does it because turkey doesn't actually taste that good!
"But on the most AMERICAN holiday, we're gonna cook a turkey, by God, because that's what Americans DO!"

@matt_vanswol Questioning the resurrection puts you in good company. The apostles questioned too, until they saw with their own eyes. Thomas didn't believe his own eyes. He had
to touch the risen Savior before he believed. Remember what Jesus said to Thomas.

I'll be honest, I've been struggling with the Christian concept of "resurrection" for awhile.
I've talked about this with a few people.
I put that in the “beautiful story” box of Christianity, something I wanted to believe, but just couldn't.
I've loved Church, the community, the moral teachings, the concepts of love, kindness, generosity. Those are the reasons we decided to go back.
But my goodness... I have STRUGGLED with believing the Gospel story.
Rising from the dead?
I don't know, it was something I just haven't been able to get past.
Until today.
I just got past it.
Not blindly, I'm not covering my eyes and running.
But I am trusting that I cannot see, not a blind faith, but a compelling one.
Faith that looks at the hunger for justice I have wired into me and says, “That didn’t come from nowhere.”
Faith doesn’t ask me to ignore reality; but rather demands I face ALL OF IT, in it's most terrifying forms ...and still step forward.
So if I do not have the Resurrection, I have nothing.
No justice, no reunion, and the story ends...
...and today, I just refuse to believe the story ends there
