Don’t give up loving people. Don’t let this world turn your heart to stone. Jesus said the hearts of many would grow cold. We see it all around us. We’ve felt it within us. We won’t keep warm hearts in this culture by accident. We’ll have to battle the darkness to hold onto love.

A major severe weather outbreak is expected today from the Midwest to the Mid-South. The greatest risk for strong, long-track (potentially violent) tornadoes exists across SE IA, western IL & far northeast MO as well as portions of eastern AR, northern MS, & southwest TN.

Just your regular reminder that Christians talking about guns is NOT the norm for Christianity (and evangelicalism) around the world.

A draft revision of @browardschools sex ed curriculum delays menstrual cycle education to 6th grade (it’s currently 4th). A state legislative bill would go farther, eliminating menstrual talk & most sex ed til 6th grade. @Gantt4Florida used blunt language Wed. to question that.

🧵I’ve said before that American evang. churches basically raise girls who are pre-groomed. I’ve attributed that to undue trust in men in the church and excessive suspicion of people outside of it (who could tell girls that what they’re experiencing is not healthy or normal).

So I gave 6YO a grilled cheese sandwich. She gasped, “Mom! You made me this sandwich one time, and I’ve been wanting you to make it again for like 50 years, but I didn’t know what it was called!”

[Deonna Smith @msdeonnasmith]

Desperately hoping that the tragic news of a 6 year old shooting their teacher doesn’t become another talking point in the ‘kids now days are just out of control’ discourse.
This isn’t the time talk about classroom management.
It’s a nation gun violence crisis.

#MLGW has initiated rolling blackouts this morning after TVA re-issued a Step 50 Curtailment which means that all local power companies are required to drop between 5 and 10 percent of their total electrical load. This is necessary to avoid major outages. #MLGWNews

8-yo told me tonight when she finds it hard to like someone at school, she imagines them waking up and choosing their clothes, and their parents helping them get ready and hoping they have a good day, and that makes it easier to care for them.

I have flown storms for the last six years. This flight to Hurricane #Ian on Kermit (#NOAA42) was the worst I’ve ever been on. I’ve never seen so much lightning in an eye.

This was the eye. You can see the curvature. Understand this is at NIGHT. The light is from LIGHTNING.

Thread worth some reflection. “There is trauma in the running.”

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

[Kaitlyn Schiess @KaitlynSchiess]

I love that the Sunday school asks the kids “wondering questions” about the Bible.

Today the teacher asked them to imagine what they would think if they saw God creating everything. Kids said things like “I’d be amazed” or “astonished.”

One little girl said “I would sing.”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

🚨NEWS: We have a deal. Today a bipartisan group of 20 Senators (10 D and 10 R) is announcing a breakthrough agreement on gun violence - the first in 30 years - that will save lives.

I think you’ll be surprised at the scope of our framework.

The witnesses have been sworn in, so I just want to say again that Republicans responding in media will not be under oath when they make those statements and some have already been documented as lying to media about the events of January 6.

Doctor who treated Uvalde victims recalls the massacre: "2 children whose bodies had been pulverized by bullets fired at them, decapitated, whose flesh had been ripped apart that the only clue as to their identities was the blood-spattered cartoon clothes still clinging to them."
