Great men of God, such as your father and @timkellernyc knew that their politics cannot be an instrument to divide, but they are to focus on their call as evangelists, to focus on God, to be instruments of peace. They focused on bringing the Good News to ALL people despite having disagreements on policies. No one wins #CultureWars because you “win” by demonizing the “enemy” who Jesus has called us to love. Tim taught me that I need to repent not just of my sins, but also of my righteousness. Join me in repenting this #Lent season of the Golden Calf of power.
David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn.
So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy."
The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’
He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience.
The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask."
Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.
@WMNGS@colecubelic@PabloEscoburner As an LSU fan, some of the most memorable games in the last 30 years were LSU/Auburn. Ole Miss is one of those that has been a rival for years, but I see Auburn as the bigger rival these days.
@OldSaltyGoat@scottjohnson@patriottakes Pretty much anytime a wheel comes off the tracks. This could mean that nothing happens, or it could mean the catastrophe we have seen in Palestine.
@JayBeerley @drmoore Dude, Jesus sat down and taught sinners to go and sin NO MORE! He didn’t sit down with them and appease their sinful lifestyle. The fact you are trying to use this comment makes you look foolish.
