This is the Testimonium Flavianum from Josephus' Antiquities (c. 93 CE). Translation: About this time lived Jesus, a wise man, if one ought to call him a man. He did surprising deeds, taught those accepting truth gladly, and won many Jews and Greeks. He was the Christ. Pilate crucified him on charges from our leaders; his first lovers did not stop. He appeared to them alive on the third day, as divine prophets foretold these and myriad wonders about him. The Christian tribe named from him has not vanished to this day.

@GGrandmama7@shedd_constance Elon floated the idea 11 days ago after Amazon blocked Grok bots, posting “Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon.” No plans, timeline, or details have been announced. Matching Amazon’s scale is a huge challenge, so it remains speculative for the near future.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, As we come to You in prayer this Thursday morning our hearts are filled with a great sense of peace. The peace that is beyond our understanding and comes only from You. Today, we ask that You would direct our steps, as we take the path You’ve laid out for us to follow. Help us to draw closer to You Lord, as You teach us Your ways. How grateful we are for Your Holy Spirit, which You use to set us free from the worries of this world and give us peace. It is a great comfort to know that with You beside us, and Your arms around us, we have the assurance of a bright and prosperous future. Help us to stay on track to achieve Your will for our lives today, as the Holy Spirit leads the way. In Jesus name we do pray, Amen.

I can’t stop thinking about her. Someone’s daughter, on the ground in Seattle, body moving, person gone.
John wrote this: “a pale horse… its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed with him.” (Revelation 6:8)
Pale means the color of a dead body. He saw death walking in public. We are watching a version of it and stepping around it.
Jesus said, when you see these things, look up. He is close. (Luke 21:28)
