Anyone who thinks President Trump was wrong to go to war with Iran needs to read this WSJ editorial.

@ACumbow @SlimSparty We can only guess how much difference Caleb Glenn would have made. In Izzo’s defense, he made some very good portal moves, but got stymied by the injuries.

This was not written by me, but it touched me deeply…
Sunday is coming.

“He received 39 stripes because 40 was known to kill a man. They wanted him alive. They held handfuls of his beard, and hair and pulled it out by the roots. They wanted him alive. They kicked, punched, and spit on him for hours. Until there wasn't a single spot on his body not covered in blood. They wanted him alive.

They shoved a crown of thorns down on his head so harshly it stuck in his skin. They wanted him alive. After hours of being beaten, mocked, whipped, flogged, and tortured they made him walk with a cross. They made him carry it. A rough piece of wood with splinters digging into fresh wounds. They wanted him alive.

They wanted him to feel every ounce of pain they could bring. He had to feel it in order to heal us. Crucifixion was historically one of the cruelest most tortured deaths a human could face. Hours upon hours of torture. Torture most of us can not mentally think of because the cruelty isn't normal. It isn't something our minds can comprehend. We celebrate Easter with pastel colors, happy children hunting eggs, and chocolate. Truth is there was absolutely nothing happy about the day Jesus died. It was cruel, bloody, and nasty.

He could have stopped all of it. He could have called every angel in heaven to demolish every person standing and shouting "Crucify Him!" He didn't. He knew in order to have a Sunday you have to have a Friday. He knew in order to have joy you have to carry your cross. He felt everything that day. He felt how your heart broke wide open when you had to watch your baby die. He felt how heavy your life was when you were staring down the barrel of a gun wondering if the man you called husband was going to shoot you. He carried the weight of the burden you have felt since your spouse died, and life just doesn't seem right since.

On that cross he held the rapist and murderers, the sinner and the saint. He leveled every playing field and said ALL of you are worth it. He knew he had to carry the cross. He never promised the cross you carry in this life would not be heavy. His wasn't. His promise is that Sunday is coming.

No matter how heavy Friday is. Financially, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Friday is heavy. That cross is weighing you down and you are about to crumble under its weight. His promise was simply this. He won't make you carry it alone. What kind of king would step down from his throne for this?

Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God did. For you. He did every bit of it for you and me. Oh yes, it is heavy. So heavy sometimes you do not think you can take one more step. But look up, because Sunday is coming.”

The crucifixion and resurrection of Christ means that we Christians live in victory, joy, and secured hope.

Death has lost.

Satan is defeated.

Sin still plagues us.

But we are redeemed.

Victory is assured.

May we live like the work of Christ is FINISHED--for it is!

Wisconsin alum Jason Gay in today’s WSJ: “Arizona will play some night school from Ann Arbor in. The other semifinal.” I laughed till I cried!

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@CountryMichSt Agree with your first three points but not the fourth. We’re gonna be loaded next year.

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@Spartan_Duchess Go Green!!

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@JD_Jerbear @BenBird89912879 @MSU_Battman I agree with you. It’s past time for an upgrade.

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@RealJamesWoods Of course it SHOULD be in effect but I had to vote no because I don’t trust the senate Rs to get it done.

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@MarkMeadows These senators need to wake up, get off their backsides and get this thing passed!

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@daily_msu Score more points!

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Cornyn just CAME OUT IN SUPPORT of a TALKING FILIBUSTER to pass the SAVE America Act after pressure

This comes after Ken Paxton offered to DROP OUT of the race if a deal is struck to pass the bill. This would allow passage with 50+1 votes

CORNYN: "I have supported the Save America Act from day one. I will happily support the 'talking filibuster' if that’s what it takes to pass this into law."

Tell Leader Thune so we can get a 50-51 vote coalition going, Sen. Cornyn. There are GOP HOLDOUTS that must be convinced to make it a reality! 🇺🇸

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@RaphealDavis3 @chrissolari What’s the prediction based on?

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@MSUBaseball Well, nearly perfect.

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@MSUBaseball It was a great game. Chambers pitched 4 perfect innings to close it! Looking forward to tomorrow! #V4MSU

[Jeff Speck @ProfSpeck]

@MSUBaseball @MSU_Athletics @GreenvilleDrive @cartermonks I’ll be there! Good game yesterday. Better game tonight! Go Green!

[Michigan State Baseball @MSUBaseball]
