The aggravating part about Patrick Mahomes is that after he makes the most athletic, back-breaking play he jogs like your uncle at the tail end of the family Turkey Bowl.

Trump’s new tariffs aren’t a trade tweak—they’re the first move in a full-spectrum reset. $9.2T in debt matures in 2025. Inflation lingers. Alliances are shifting. One announcement just set a dozen wheels in motion. Here’s what’s really happening—and why it matters 🧵

@TheBabylonBee When people confuse "their" and "they're," it really gets two me.

American friends: I have a spare Thursday evening / Friday after TGC in late April, and could in principle spend it doing something useful anywhere between Indianapolis and LA. Any suggestions?

Arrogance demands and expects. Humility receives and enjoys. Dan Rockwell

Isaac of Nineveh, one of the desert fathers, wrote: “He who is aware of his sins is greater than one who can raise the dead. Whoever can weep over himself for one hour is greater than the one who is able to teach the whole world; whoever recognizes the depth of his own frailty is greater than the one who sees visions of angels.”

“What I’ve learned from my sobriety, from the men and women who keep me sober, is how to pray. Blind drunks who get sober get a kind of blind faith—not so much a vision of who God is, but who God isn’t, namely me.” — Thomas Lynch

“Grief is the tax we pay on our attachments...” ― Thomas Lynch, Bodies in Motion and at Rest: On Metaphor and Mortality

Soften a classic book title. Paradise Misplaced.

In Psalm 23, the writer changes from addressing the Shepherd in terms of a "he-me" relationship ("he makes me lie down, he leads me," etc.) at the beginning of the Psalm to a "you-me" relationship in the middle of his darkest valley ("you are with me"). It turns out that the deeper you get into the valley the closer the Savior.

@JonAcuff I’m 39, I have three kids, and while I don’t tell people they should necessarily have an hour morning routine, there is immense value in chasing the dawn. :) youtu.be/1uV3BWn0HRw?si…

Anyone giving you advice online should have to answer a few questions first:  1. Are they married? 2. Do they have kids? 3. How many? 4. What ages?  A 27yo, single adult who tells you to start your day with an hour-long morning routine has never met a toddler.

A Fremen proverb from Dune by Frank Herbert: "Be prepared to appreciate what you meet."

"The 'burning bush' was not a miracle. It was a test. God wanted to find out whether or not Moses could pay attention to something for more than a few minutes. When Moses did, God spoke. The trick is to pay attention to what is going on around you long enough to behold the miracle without falling asleep. There is another world, right here within this one, whenever we pay attention." — Rabbi Lawrence Kushner
