@1anobody@MassieforKY My son and I made an impromptu summer trip to DC. I sent an email asking if we could get a capital tour, thinking no way I'd get it...too late. I got a response early the next morning saying when I could get it done!
Running a literal bag of sand against @MassieforKY is a total humiliation ritual for the people of Kentucky.
They are basically saying: we can run a complete empty suit, who won't debate, brings nothing to the table and you can't do anything about it.
They want to prove they can purchase a Congressional seat by smearing the other guy and spending 10M dollars instead of presenting a stronger candidate with better ideas.
If you think Easter is nonsense, you’re not alone.
This morning in my Easter reading, something hit me.
In Luke, when the women came back from the empty tomb and told the eleven what they saw, Scripture says the disciples thought it was nonsense.
And honestly, if any of us witnessed a brutal, violent death like Jesus’, we’d probably call it nonsense too if someone told us that person was alive again.
But here’s the part we miss:
At the tomb, the angels didn’t give the women a new revelation. They said:
“Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and on the third day rise.”
They weren’t announcing something new.
They were reminding them of something Jesus had already said.
Which puts the disciples’ reaction in a different light.
We don’t know if they forgot His words or simply didn’t believe them — but either way, they didn’t receive them.
Then in John, we read that later that same day — Sunday night, after Mary had already told them the news that morning — the disciples were behind a locked door out of fear. They heard the message, but it didn’t move them.
Jesus appears to them, shows them His hands and His side, breathes peace on them… and you’d think that would settle it.
But eight days later?
They’re back behind a locked door when Jesus appears to Thomas.
We give Thomas the nickname “Doubting Thomas,” but the truth is:
all of them doubted.
All of them hid.
All of them called it nonsense.
All of them stayed behind locked doors.
And here’s the detail we forget:
In Matthew, Jesus had already told the women to tell the disciples:
“Go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
Meaning — staying in that room for over a week wasn’t just fear.
It was staying somewhere Jesus had already told them to leave.
They were supposed to be moving toward Him.
Instead, they were hiding from the world.
But Jesus — in grace — walked through the locked door anyway.
So here’s the message this Easter:
If you think the idea of God becoming man, dying for your sins, and rising three days later is nonsense — you’re standing exactly where His own disciples stood.
If you believe Jesus can move in other people’s lives but you still keep yourself behind a locked door of fear, shame, doubt, or self‑protection — the disciples were right there too.
But Easter is your invitation.
This can be the year you leave the room Jesus already told you to leave.
This can be the moment you step out of fear, out of hiding, out of the locked places — and go where He’s calling you.
Whatever your locked door is — fear, doubt, sin, shame, disappointment, control — Jesus is appearing to you the same way He appeared to them.
Not to scold you.
Not to shame you.
But to say:
“Peace be with you.
You don’t have to stay here.
Come meet Me where I’m calling you.”
A major winter storm will move across the region this weekend, bringing heavy accumulations of snow and ice to central Kentucky and southern Indiana. Here is the expected snowfall for the area this weekend.
📌Weekend Winter Storm:
⚠️Winter Storm Watch issued for Saturday AM - Monday AM.
❄️🧊Snowfall and wintry precip amounts have increased, though there is still a lot of uncertainty on totals.
🥶Dangerously cold through early next week.
📻🧣🔋Begin to prepare for this storm.
Now that some much needed sunshine has returned after a busy stretch of wintry weather, we finally get a clear view of the snowpack across the Ohio Valley. Notice the sharp cutoff of snow from roughly Quincy, IL to just south of Louisville.
Besides doing it on no pay, these Hurricane Hunters know the risks of being in a Cat 5 hurricane with known turbulence & imminent landfall with few exit routes
Whatever credit we give to them for putting their lives on the line for science and public safety is not enough 🫡
Fri 6:30 AM EDT - It's 68 degrees at Muhammad Ali Intl Airport (SDF) in Louisville... that's the first time below 70 since the Summer Solstice in June. #kywx
