People: “You must be depressed 7 months a year with that PNW gray.” 🌧️
​Me: Never been depressed a day in my life. From summer hikes to winter skiing, it’s a year-round playground. The fall is elite. 🏔️⛷️
​But honestly? Keep believing that. You probably wouldn't like it here anyway. 😉🤫 #PNW #PacificNorthwest

'Pistol Pete' Maravich sharing his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ in 1987 less than one year before his death at the age of 40:

"I want all of you to know this tonight about Peter Maravich. You may never have heard of me. It makes no difference. I'm just one person on this earth saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. I want you to know this, that the change that came into my life was Jesus Christ.

It was not winning. I won all my life. I won every trophy, award, everything you can think of, but every time I won something, I wanted something more. I had to win again. It wasn't money, because money'll buy you everything but happiness. It'll pay your fare at every place but Heaven. Material things—I've driven everything some of you strive for from Rolls Royces to BMWs to Mercedes to Porsches. It wasn't religion because in the name of religion, Jesus Christ was placed upon that cross.

And the purest thing about Christianity is the fact that it's your choice. You can't work. You can't earn. I knew that, and I understood it now.

I want you to know this. The last thing I'd like to say is this, next week I'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'll get that big ring. In fact, it's a bigger ring than I would have got for the championship, but I'll tell you something about all the awards. They all pale to the glory of Christ and what He's done in my life. It's amazing what He has done in my life.

I wouldn't trade my position in Christ for a thousand NBA championships or a thousand Hall of Fame rings or for a hundred billion dollars. There's nothing like the joy of Jesus Christ in your life."

During an interview in 1974, Corrie ten Boom shared how she once encouraged fellow believers in Africa with one of her father's memorable lessons on why Christians need not fear being strong enough to endure suffering:

"I once said to my father (I was still a little girl), 'Daddy, I will never be strong enough to suffer for Jesus.'

And Father said, 'When you go to travel with a train to Amsterdam, when do I give you the train ticket? Three weeks before?'

I said, 'No, Daddy, the day that I go to travel.'

And Father said, 'That's what God does. Today, you do not need to have strength to suffer for Jesus, but the moment you will have the honor to suffer for Him, He will give you all the strength.' And then I was confident.

And I said to these people, 'When you have to suffer for Jesus, the Lord will give you the train ticket.'"

@Shortstories66 @JoannaCannon So happy to have run across that show and am ready for another season to come out!

Let's see: US and Israeli warplanes range freely over Iran, having hit thousands of targets, and are hitting more every day. The Iranian leadership has been taken out. Its new leader cannot or will not show his face. Its air defenses have been ineffective, destroyed or both. Its navy is largely gone. So It has now effectively blocked ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway vital to its own economy. US media would have you believe Iran has turned the tide in the war because blocking the strait never occurred to US war planners. You can choose to believe this. I don't.

@JohnOSullivan36 @DrDavidVernon I loved that book as well. So good!

@BirdyEdwards5 @CaffeinatedLiha Same for me. I really struggled with that one. I think it was the science that didn’t interest me.

Atomic Habits is great and all, but these books are 1,000X better! 👇

[Melanie Hambelton @Mhambelton]

@BookNoteApp I did love it!

[Melanie Hambelton @Mhambelton]

@harrisonshock @Ameen_HGA Loved this book!

[Melanie Hambelton @Mhambelton]

@lilly_mirren @Ameen_HGA Definitely worth a read!

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

To you, Zohran Mamdani! You stayed quiet when we have faced massacre, when Islamic Republic assassins were sent here in New York to kill us, stay quiet now!

STOP lecturing us Iranians about peace.

I don’t feel safe in New York listening to someone like you, Mamdani, who sympathizes with the regime that killed more than 30,000 unarmed Iranians in less than 24 hours. You talk about “safety” of this beautiful city? Listen carefully; Safety without justice means nothing.
We Iranians do not allow you to lecture us about war while you had nothing to say when the Islamic Republic shot schoolgirls and blinded more than 10,000 innocent people in the streets. You were busy celebrating the hijab while women of my beloved country Iran were jailed and raped by Islamic Security forces for removing it. And NOW you find your voice to defend the regime? No. I will not let you claim the moral high ground.
The people of Iran want to be free. Where were you when they needed solidarity?

New York belongs to people who stand against terrorism not those who excuse it.

This city is stronger than fear.
Stronger than propaganda.
Stronger than you think.

@ConorOrr This book has kept with me for a very long time!

The fact he said “I’m here live, I’m not a cat” was the icing on the cake.

It’s been 5 years since this legendary meeting.

[Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole]

Bravo Carlos, little titan, young wizard of Oz. A worthy champion, a huge talent, wonderful person and history-maker 🙌

And Australia, so much love 🫶🏼. No place like the happy slam. Forever grateful.

[Vuk Jeremić @jeremic_vuk]

There are moments in sport when the scoreboard becomes irrelevant, when what unfolds in front of us feels less like competition and more like history. Under the lights of Rod Laver Arena tonight, Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole stood across the net from time itself—and refused to step aside.

He didn’t win the historic 11th Australian Open title. And yet, what Novak produced felt even more improbable than just another record. At the age of 38, he played on equal terms with Carlos Alcaraz @carlosalcaraz, the best player in the world today—a player who was just ONE year old when Novak played his first Australian Open.

Let that sink in.

This wasn’t a symbolic appearance or a nostalgic echo of former greatness. This was Novak Djokovic competing, suffering, adapting, and believing at the highest possible level—against youth, speed, and the new era embodied in Alcaraz. Nobody in tennis has ever managed anything remotely close to this. Not across eras. Not across generations. Not with this level of relevance.

What we saw in Australia was courage in its purest form. The courage to step onto the biggest stage knowing that time, physics, and history are stacked against you—and conquering it anyway.

Novak’s greatness has never been only about his innumerable titles—it is about his character. About standing alone. About enduring doubt, pressure, and expectation, and still showing up with the same fire.

That is why he belongs in the company of figures larger than sport itself. Like Muhammad Ali, he carried conviction and fought battles far beyond the scoreboard. And he will continue doing so.

Novak Djokovic didn’t lose in Melbourne tonight. He showed us what timeless greatness looks like.

Her family came here from the former Soviet Union and they live in Florida. They picked the wrong girl for this game.
