[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Joseph of Arimathea pulled a corpse off a cross with his bare hands.

Blood under his fingernails. The weight of a dead man sagging into his arms.

He wrapped God in linen, pressed the fabric into wounds that were still wet.

Nicodemus brought seventy-five pounds of burial spice. A king's funeral for a man the world just murdered.

They carried Him into a hole in the rock and rolled the stone shut.

And everything you've ever done went in with Him.
Every night you can't sleep because of what you did. Every morning, you can't look in the mirror. The thing you did to her. The thing you did to them. The
lie you've been carrying so long it feels like bone.

The version of you that drinks alone and pretends tomorrow will be different.

That man was buried with Christ.

Stone sealed. Done.
Not managed. Not in therapy. Not on a payment plan with God where you slowly earn your way back. Buried. In a tomb. Under rock. Gone.
Three days of silence. Three days of a cold body in the dark.

Then the stone moved.
And when He walked out, the grave clothes were folded on the slab. He didn't stumble out tangled in death. He left it sitting there like a man who's done
with the clothes he used to wear.
Lazarus needed someone to unwrap him. Death still clung to him even after he was breathing.
Jesus folded His own burial linen and walked out clean.

That's the difference between religion and resurrection. Religion unwraps you slowly. Asks you to manage your sin. Attend the class. Read the book. Try harder next week.
Resurrection says the man who walked into that tomb is dead. The man who walked out doesn't know him.
You're not fixing the old you. The old you is in a sealed tomb in Jerusalem, and he's not coming back.
The man reading this, the one who thinks he's too far gone, you're not too far. You're already buried. The funeral happened two thousand years
ago.
Now get up. The stone's already moved. The linen's already folded.

Walk out.

@Verb58 @KentMurphy My worthless opinion...rule says it needs to be in the glove, which is an imaginary boundary inside the edges of the glove. Given that definition, I'd say he's out. But, as close as that is, you'd be hard pressed to argue either side of that call. Baseball, man, game of inches

Likely the best thing you’ll see on the internet today.

During a confessional hearing on Minnesota fraud (featuring Walz and AG Ellison), Representative Cloud (Tx) schools a female woke “reverend” in what Matthew 25 really means and what God really commands when it comes to charity.

“I’m always amazed in DC how much we get to define our personal worth as a politician by how much of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY WE GIVE AWAY.”

@smcroasters @CorndogMagic This is the way. I've cancelled a couple purchases now if the seller only ships Fedex.

Horrible experience with @FlyFrontier at @goingplacesCLE. Baggage handlers at CLE destroyed a brand new Christmas present bag, we go immediately to the baggage office who takes two pictures and hands us a slip of paper to a website that doesn’t work….

[Geoff Starnes @GeoffStarnes]

Call 18 hours later, after we finally get home, and get told that we only had 4 hours to submit a claim, after the paper said we should MAIL the complaint. Mail a complaint in 4 hours???

[Geoff Starnes @GeoffStarnes]

Get the usual run around on the phone passed off from one person who doesn’t care to another. Absolutely terrible. What will @FlyFrontier and @goingplacesCLE do to make it right???

[Geoff Starnes @GeoffStarnes]

@DOBrienATL Thanks for the coverage DOB. Lifelong Braves fan here that appreciates your work and your career. Hope retirement treats you well!

[Geoff Starnes @GeoffStarnes]

Man, I knew streaming prices were going up, but IDK if watching Disney+ is worth this much...maybe I'll just go outside or something. @DisneyPlus I'm hoping there's just a problem with the webpage or something.

Good baserunning @MoneyyyMikeee !!! Clutch hit and great heads up running in the 9th.

[Geoff Starnes @GeoffStarnes]

@GreekGodOfHops At first? Winning. Winning and playing time. By the end I realized that learning the game, learning life, and playing for a reputable human being mattered more than winning games ever would.

[Lake Krehel @KrehelLake]

Any Uncommitted ‘25 C/1B/3B want to make a home in northeastern North Carolina? Actively recruiting for this class still and looking to fill spots with athletes ready to come in and make an impact.
