@WVPitt As someone who has read the "red books" and Founding Sins by Moore, I am looking forward to this!

@OOCliberalism Georgia only likes voting for southern Democrats for President like Carter, Clinton, and Biden.

@RealColoradoMan We have some oddities today in that they don't follow the normal red/blue pattern. KY and KS have Democratic governors and VT having a Republican governor are the oddest ones in my opinion.

@WannabeAnglican This is how, according to their beliefs page: "We are connected with the worldwide Anglican Communion through our Pastor’s ordination."

@WVPitt I'm so glad it was sang a capella. Sounds beautiful! I wish I could be there this year.

@SharpFootball I really enjoy when in a new place, especially a new country, seeing the mundane places. Trying local restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, etc. It's always a lot of fun in small ways.

@sarahlol1863603 I saw an advertisement in the Philippines suggesting to go to Guam to shop "tax free" with a picture of a Ross Dress for Less in a shopping center. Keep in mind the Philippines has lots of really nice malls.

@TPCarney SNL's "big dumb hat" sketch only aired 3 and a half years ago.

@ShawnMathis1972 Every time I see Gallup polling about the PCA, I think it must be a mix of PC(USA) and PCA folks who are confused about which is which.

[Jake Wasdin @JakeWasdin]

@RScottClark It's still good advice once you're in a Reformed church. I've seen too many people "hop" from one NAPARC church to another over small issues, even in an area where there aren't all that many options.

@hthieblot StumbleUpon is what I miss the most!

[Jake Wasdin @JakeWasdin]

While this questionably true (see the Governor of Oklahoma), it is remarkable that we first got a native American Vice President, Charles Curtis. He grew up on a Kaw Nation reservation (although he was also multiracial).

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic Governor primary.

If elected, she will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.

@em_Lazzy The Bushes get the short end of this. One son gets to be just his middle initial, "W". The next, only a nickname -- Jeb!

Meanwhile, we also have Pelosi and Warren as well as those so famous they can go by their initials like AOC and MTG.

[Presbycast @presbycast]

As the definition of "ministry" has expanded, the ordinary means of grace conveyed in public worship of the gathered church have suffered. The loss of the evening worship service exemplifies this.

[Presbycast @presbycast]

An evening worship service is advisable even from a strictly pragmatic perspective. It's a powerful outreach tool and a great on-ramp for those considering the Reformed faith, and as more people work on Sundays, the evening service becomes even more important to church members.

@fredgreco @CCKPCA Is the "Stated Clerk" of the PCA a full time position?

[Jake Wasdin @JakeWasdin]

@MarioNawfal Teddy Roosevelt tried to reform English spelling, but failed.

[Jake Wasdin @JakeWasdin]

@presbycast My "take" is that baptism should get you wet even if pouring or sprinkling is the mode (which it should be). Some baptisms seem like just a few drops of water. Baptizo still means to wash.

[Jake Wasdin @JakeWasdin]

@JeremiahW2044 I live in Fayette County, which is the closest county to Atlanta still red, but I think it will turn blue soon. I think there are changing demographics, but also I think MAGA style Republicans don't appeal to suburbanites as much here. I know I feel disaffected.

[Jake Wasdin @JakeWasdin]

@ShawnMathis1972 We've got a few in our ARP presbytery (TN, GA, and AL). I don't know the history of how they came to us. The Northeast Presbytery has many Korean churches, and even does a lot of business bilingually.
