One lesson that we Christians have not learned in the last 2,000+ years is that Jesus had no political control over the Roman Empire and he still changed the entire world.
We keep trying to change the world the way the Roman Empire did, instead of the way Jesus did.

Years ago, when I was an NBA writer, I suffered a devastating loss in my life.
Jerry West was with Golden State’s front office. I wanted to interview him about something relevant to an article I was writing.
The caring Warriors PR man @DoubleR_PR, who set up the interview, knew what I was going through in my world.
Jerry and I did the phone interview, but when I was done, Jerry didn’t want to end the call. He told me he’d heard about my loss. Jerry West talked to me for probably 10 minutes about love and life and death. He shared emotions from when he lost someone extremely close to him who was young. We talked about grieving and persevering.
It was one of the sweetest, out-of-nowhere things to ever happen to me.
Jerry West was an amazing player and an amazing executive, but he was also an amazing human.
Rest in peace.
Wallace: Trump is, of course, a convicted felon. His worldview is devoid of facts and untethered to reality. He offers no vision for the future and instead rants and rambles about sharks, electric boats, windmills, and toilets. He constantly lies about the border, even though he was the person who killed the bipartisan border deal. He lies about the rule of law and the system of justice. He calls January 6 insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol 'warriors.' Trump has made it clear that his entire campaign is about himself

.@RepMTG This right here 👆 is a prime example of why electing ignorant, vile individuals to represent us is a grave mistake. Such behavior undermines our institutions and hampers any hope for progress and improvement in our lives. Rep. Greene's disgraceful conduct during the House hearing against Dr. Anthony Fauci is utterly reprehensible and deserves unequivocal condemnation. Her persistent refusal to address Dr. Fauci by his rightful title, her baseless accusations, and her outright lies are a blatant attempt to undermine a distinguished public servant who has dedicated his life to safeguarding public health.
Her shameful denial of Dr. Fauci's medical credentials is not only disrespectful but a deliberate tactic to erode trust in scientific expertise. Greene's outrageous claim that Dr. Fauci's medical license should be revoked is a glaring demonstration of her ignorance and disdain for the rigorous standards of medical practice and ethics. Her unfounded assertion that Dr. Fauci belongs in prison, and her vile accusation of "crimes against humanity" are beyond the pale and border on lunacy.
Greene's attacks on Dr. Fauci's scientific recommendations, which were aimed at protecting the public during an unprecedented global pandemic, are nothing short of malevolent. Her baseless claims of financial gain from Big Pharma are a transparent attempt to sow distrust and confusion, devoid of any factual basis. Moreover, her deliberate misrepresentation of Dr. Fauci's email about masks is a deceitful effort to twist the truth to seek attention.
This pattern of behavior, rife with lies, disrespect, and a complete disregard for decorum, highlights Greene's unfitness for public office. Her actions are a disgrace to the institution she represents and an affront to the principles of reason and integrity. It is imperative that we hold Greene accountable for her actions and reject her malicious attempts to undermine those who have committed their lives to public service and the betterment of society.
We have lost over a million fellow Americans to this virus. Most of these lives could have been saved if not for your vile lies. If anyone deserves to be in prison, it is you.
There’s nothing more un-American than thinking everyone has an obligation to share your particular religious beliefs. It’s kinda the whole point of the country.
Bob Costas on Trump: "He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.
You have to be in a toxic cult to believe that Trump has ever been emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be POTUS." *
If you don't vote for Biden, and he isn't reelected, you're not punishing Democrats, and you're not punishing Biden. He'll be fine. He'll retired with his family, build a presidential library, and still be respected worldwide.
This is what you're punishing:
Eight years ago, Hillary called *some* Trump supporters (the super-racist ones) “deplorable” and folks still talk about it
Eight hours ago, Trump called all Biden voters “human scum” and we’ve already forgotten about it
Larry David: You can't go a day without thinking about what Trump has done to this country because he's such a little baby. He has thrown 250 years of democracy out the window by not accepting the results of an election. He's such a sociopath, he just couldn't admit to losing. He’s sick
Bob Costas on Trump: “He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history...
You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion in a toxic cult, to believe that Donald Trump has ever been in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be president of the United States."

Final score from Tiger Field: Fishers 14
Franklin Central 6
Coach Matt Cherry @TigerBaseball17 honored for 300th career victory, achieved earlier this month.
I’m disappointed, no doubt, but some of y’all need a glass of water and a big hug. Rick is a GREAT coach. Pascal is a GREAT player. Tyrese is a historically great player. Last year we were praying for ping pong balls and this year we’re in the second round of the playoffs. Chill.
Republican Former Lt. Governor: I am voting for Joe Biden. He is a decent person. I’m voting for Joe Biden over Donald Trump, who has no moral compass. Does anybody think anything's gonna get done if Donald Trump is the president? I mean, all he's going to do is go on this vendetta tour around the world, doing damage
