@social_brains @SeanTrende Their endowment is $10.8 billion with 8% annual growth. Restricting programs is a choice not a necessity.

@megbasham Good choice. Just leaving O’Hare almost always means driving on a tollway. It’s part of the pain of living in this Godforsaken state.

@ABC This paragraph screams AI. Apple Pie and MLK assassination … in the same year!

@roddreher Definitely better than McD’s but 3 fingers is about the right number and good call on no fries. Welcome back to the states.

@IllinoisGolfer Who is watching local TV to find out about a tornado? Seems like a bad strategy.

@Ecnerwal23 @thekapman @paschutz @nbcchicago @ESPN1000 Of course they are because Indiana is giving them the best long term deal. And there are multiple options for a site there. Illinois only has Arlington Hts, and the state doesn’t want to give them a comparable deal. This isn’t difficult.

@drewdyck Is this some type of MMA event? Are these guys going to fight each other? Can someone post the bracket so I can make my picks?

@Katherine111594 If you're charging for VBS, then you've lost the plot entirely. Budget for it. It's a way to bless your community, meet new people, and plant gospel seeds that your local church may never see blossom. But that's not the point.

[Marcus R. Brown @marcusbrown]

@lymanstoneky "Mission impact"?!? Ughh ... Because spending time with kids, telling them about Jesus, and blessing your community doesn't count as "mission impact"? I know so many people who came to faith as an adult and credit VBS as their first exposure to the gospel.

@Kevinulmet @whitesox @MLB Don’t stop believing! We got Pope Leo. And Pastor Bob is pulling some strings this season. It’s a magical season.

@pugsandco She’d be a Loop girl, and she’d be showing up at every bar in the city.

The non-denominational mind can’t comprehend this.

We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

@drewdyck Do you live in 1996? What’s it like there?

@Wells15Kevin How much will Northwestern pay in property taxes for their new stadium? The answer to that question explains the difference between these 2 projects.

Some of the kindest, most generous people I know are Mormons, including close friends & family members.

Mormons are Christians in the sense that Jesus is a part of their theology. But they aren’t orthodox, historical Christians. It’s an important distinction.

I know @djkhaled will see this because he’s been looking at his phone non-stop since tip-off. #nba #nbafinals @nyknicks @spurs Watch the game, bro.
