I love CeCe Winans. I got to share a stage with her in Chicago one time for the National Day of Prayer. We ended up in a prayer group together along with Joni Erickson-Tada (Joni’s prayers were incredible). Anyway - Cece and Alvin are celebrating 42 years of marriage. Fantastic!
Magali Martowicz, the @iocmedia first head of human rights, who helped introduce a transgender policy which prioritised the social inclusion of a few individuals over the competitive fairness of the entire female category, has left the organisation.
Her departure coincides with new IOC President Kirsty Coventry announcing that the women’s category at the @Olympics at @LA28 will be limited to biological females.
It means that four of the five co-authors of the original report that helped open the door to allow transgender women to compete in female competitions employed directly by the IOC have now left.

I’ve asked Ruby to take over social media for my new single. She hired a couple of talented friends to create some videos for the project. Here’s the first one. Some of the info will be redundant to many of you, but please follow along . . .
@Ferndiggity Ooooo. A few years back we had that when a certain person who will remain nameless, was taking a plastic garbage through from backyard, and briefly put the bag on the kitchen floor! Result: Ants everywhere! Vinegar in water, to wipe areas, definitely worked.
A statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was found standing untouched amid the ruins of a fire in Wayne County, Pennsylvania, on the same day that the Catholic bishops of the United States consecrated the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The pope is on the king of Spain's private plane.
But if you want to understand the man, you need to understand that just four years ago he was in a borrowed Jeep and hip boots, piling sandbags in front of Peruvian houses on unpaved city streets, to keep fetid floodwaters out.
🚨 Pope Leo XIV has sent a WARNING to migrants, telling them how to behave when they arrive into new countries:
'Learn its language, to respect its laws, to get to know its customs, to participate in communal life and to offer your gifts with gratitude'
Pope Leo has CONDEMNED human traffickers who profit from migration into Europe:
'I wish to address a clear message to those who take advantage of people’s desperation, to those who organize death routes, traffic in human beings, withhold documents, exploit workers, threaten women, deceive families and turn the suffering of others into a business.
Stop. Repent.
The tears and blood of these brothers and sisters cry out to God, and their suffering reaches him. The money wrested from the vulnerability of the poor will bring neither peace, nor honor, nor a future'
Today, the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests. It is a day the faithful are urged to pray for their priests that they may be strengthened in their vocation and remain steadfast in their commitment to the Lord.
So the Sudanese invader who tried to behead the man in Belfast was a former police man from a prominent family.
Why was he "seeking asylum" in Britain then?
How was he able to move freely through Europe?
So many questions.
We want answers!
@Ferndiggity Looking forward to hearing it.
I'm sad to hear of those incredibly sad circumstances, Fernando.
First song of yours was Prayer For Home maybe 24 years ago, and been so consoled by your prayerful music, ever since.
Praying for all good things for you & Ruby.

This event brings together two dimensions: the religious, with the Eucharistic celebration, and the commemorative, in tribute to the architect Antoni Gaudí on the centenary of his death.
