@nathanafinn I think you need to do more research on cheeseburger joints of the upstate owned by Greek families. It's a real shame if you don't know what I'm talking about.

@Kyle_JBritt So there was a snow storm the day I was born. My dad had to cut through fallen trees with a chainsaw to get my mom (and me) to the hospital. Makes for a great story!

Great weather to have a baby! (We're expecting our 4th any day now)

@BaptistPress Could you please provide a link so this can be purchased?

A new children’s book telling the story of missionary and surgeon Rebekah Naylor released on Dec. 2. Intentionally released during December, all of the proceeds from the book go to support the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

@leahpfinn By chance, do you keep it "seasoned" with olive oil? That's a sure-fire way to produce smoke when you're preheating or cooking with it.A vegetable oil or even coconut oil may solve your problem. Also, I never go above medium-high heat.

If there is a way to cook food in a cast iron skillet without smoking up the entire house, I haven’t found it yet. I may need to trade in my ‘southerner’ card since I am consistently unsuccessful.

@realmattcarr I think it’ll be an up and down process with Ted’s son. To be honest, I hope they address it sooner rather than later.

@realmattcarr Are we ready to say that Roy Kent is the best father figure in the show so far? ✅ Father to niece ✅ Father to Jamie

The truth is, if I'm not bringing things back to Jesus, I've got nothing to say. He has the words of eternal life. & if our apologetics gets disconnected from him, I think we quickly end up arrogant or hostile in our approach. But you can't hold onto Jesus & keep your pride.

@meredithcook716 If you were to put together a "Keelan's Crispy-Fried Catechism" children's book, I'd probably buy it and read it to my own daughter.

In case anyone is feeling like a subpar parent, just know my daughter is laying in her bed chanting "hot dog," "pork rind," and "air fry," so you're probably fine.

@ToddUnzicker @AshleyUnzicker I mean. it’s your birthday tho, right?

Anyone want to take a guess how many times a week @AshleyUnzicker feels the need to say, "Now Todd, you don't need to dress up tonight but you don't need to wear your Camo cargo shorts either."

@jennfrey I’ve worked most of my professional career in comms. I’m fairly certain that a more technical degree would’ve been a hinderance compared to what I gleaned from Philospohy/literature/Christian studies.

Same conversation as always. We'd like to save it, but can't unless students want to major in it and they don't.

Had dinner with a Dean of a small liberal arts college in the Midwest. I asked him how classics was faring. Answer: very bad. Then I asked about philosophy. Answer: even worse, just brutal. Biggest major at his school: media communications. 🙃

@jenniferwilkin @WendyAlsup Yep. Dodge was on to something there. youtu.be/AMpZ0TGjbWE

“The model for Christian manhood isn’t a warrior. It’s a farmer. Once you see it in Scripture, you’ll never unsee it.” Such a well-articulated truth by one of my favorite thinkers @WendyAlsup

@jennfrey "He stared gratefully at the back of Myrna’s head, at the pigtail that swung innocently at his knee. Gratefully. How Ironic, Ignatius thought. Taking the pigtail in one of his paws, he pressed it warmly to his wet moustache."

Describe Ignatius J Reilly in one tweet, go!

@RaleighWx Thanks! I went ahead and postponed it for tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the cooler and more stable weather

@willaltontaylor Not looking great but activity could be scattered enough to sneak one in during a dry window.

@RaleighWx any chance for a cookout tonight in Durham? Think this rain will move through by 7:30 or so?

@ChrisMartin17 The older generations sure know how to do small talk. I love it.

Went to the donut shop about 6:30 this AM. Ran into one grandpa who couldn’t help but talk about how excited he was to have the grandkids over. “Wife’s been cracking the whip on me this morning. Already made me mow the grass.” Idk if he was joking. “I’m gunna spoil ‘em,” he says.

@willaltontaylor Maybe. I think it depends on how bad voicemails scare you.

@LeahBSassy 🙌🙌 My grandad pastored for over 50 years and his favorite hymn was In the Garden. I went to seminary and heck, it might even be my fav at this point and I’m okay with it.

@Natdavewilliams Good thought here, Nathan! I always looked at this data according to world events, fall of communism, 9/11, etc. and not necessarily with how we handled ourselves inwardly.

Rapid secularization likely contributes to so many intramural debates within evangelicalism. We're afraid, and we disagree on how to respond. Yet, at the same time, our in-fighting only exacerbates the problem. While we're focused on each other, we're not focused on the lost.

@KSPrior 😂 I hope you’ve seen yelping with Cormac. yelpingwithcormac.tumblr.com/post/138746601…
