@jaywhotweets @Quincy04367231 @amalaekpunobi ?

@Quincy04367231 @amalaekpunobi It's literally her hand holding the shoes. Are we serious?

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@AndromacheYbreq @chesscom And as I said, they're not accurate...

@Diamond95806227 @CollinRugg I have compassion for those going through mental crises. I do not have compassion for those who murder their children. It really isn't complicated, Nina.

@MomAngtrades Since the rise of modern feminism.

@mariathies12 Is a threat or a promise? 😂

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@TristanTateUni This is not 1500 chess LOL. This looks about 800 chess. Tate trying to look smart but fails miserably.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@GodlyAction Yes exactly, but we must be careful. Drinking to get drunk is a sin. Having a couple drinks (depending no your tolerance) is fine. That being said, I knew a few people who cannot drink any alcohol because it tempts them into drinking more and more.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@AndromacheYbreq @chesscom Game ratings? LOL those aren't accurate.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@chesscom Defense. Aka, learning to properly evaluate what your opponent wants to do more than focusing on your own tactic. This was hard for me.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@sola_chad It would probably give me a headache.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

to conquer all. Love, especially love for your children who you should care most about in this World, should far surpass the post partum depression that you are going through. Serial killers are mentally insane, do we give them a second chance, doo we let them out of prison?

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

And to see all of the women online that HAVE children and still support her, sickens me even more. You have a blessing in your hands that you resent and most of us would kill to be in your position. Is being a mother hard? Yes. Does it require sacrifice? Yes, but love is supposed

But I'm not posting this for sympathy. I'm posting this because it DISGUSTS me that people are supporting Lindsay Clancy, a woman who murdered her children. So many of us can't get pregnant. Most of us would kill to be in her position with a blessing of not one, but 3 kids!

@SusanPolgar @ECUonline @WOMChess @OnTheQueenside @EuropeEchecs @chesscom @lichess @ChessbaseIndia 2. Men and women have different interests and that should be okay. Not everything has to be 50/50 in life. Just as an example, more women play volleyball and gymnastics, we don't see men crying about it and lowering the standards for men.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@SusanPolgar @ECUonline @WOMChess @OnTheQueenside @EuropeEchecs @chesscom @lichess @ChessbaseIndia I have two questions.
1. Why is the solution to make unfair titles and lower the standards? We support women's equal rights, but only when it benefits us, huh?
2. Why does there need to be a an equal amount of women as there are men?
I will expand on these points below:

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@SusanPolgar @ECUonline @WOMChess @OnTheQueenside @EuropeEchecs @chesscom @lichess @ChessbaseIndia 1. If we want to encourage girls to play chess, we should promote it more. I have no issue with women's only competitions. However, lowering the standard only reinforces the false idea that women are not capable of competing at the same standards as men in a game of mental skill.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@KristanHawkins Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@JesusSavesUs777 It's really about what's in the heart at the end of the day.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@JesusSavesUs777 Yes, it's not a sin. That being said, as you grow closer to God, you will naturally want to listen to music that aligns with your beliefs. Now if you listen to music that glorifies sin and that's the part of the song you like, then I would consider that a sin. So it depends.

[Ella Isley ✝️ @ChurchyElla]

@BiblesForFree Thank you, I appreciate it!

I don't often post personal things on social media, but my husband and I have been trying for a baby for about a year now. We have spent a lot of money, many Doctor's visits, tried different medications, hormones, and even IUI. Another negative pregnancy test just came back today
