This week, a friend loaned me her mountain dulcimer and I started making Twitter a regular feature of my day (after two years essentially off the platform).

I'll let you all take a guess at how productive I've been this week.

laughing, laughing, laughing.

But seriously, our Black brothers and sisters are at the forefront of shaping culture. What a witness.

I returned a phone call this morning from a woman from another part of the state. She had questions she was trying to get answered about what is going on in Ohio. She had called 10 news organizations in her area of the state. None had returned her calls or emails.

It does mean we should hold science in tangent with other disciplines, let love of God and neighbor (not our fears or pet interests) guide how we apply our scientific research, and fiercely cultivate humility as we seek to understand this world.

[Abigail Murrish @abigailmurrish]

Our study of science will always be limited because we are finite, and the God who ordered this world is infinite and omniscient.

That truth does not make skepticism of science a virtue.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

I do believe in Christianity, and my impression is that a system must be divine which has survived so much insane mismanagement.

Protestants who reject protesting seem not to understand their name.

Here's a list of action steps we can take (in addition to the petition below). I just wrote elected officials in Kentucky using their script as a guide. https://t.co/VOxZnUBTG5

@MattMetcalf no kidding. Thanks for asking the question.

Here’s the thing with the Bible: it’s meant to be read, not brandished.
