Happy Thanksgiving!
From President Washington’s first Thanksgiving Proclamation:
“Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.”
@biggameJames_36 Sending love to you and your family Coleman. I know this is a super busy time of year but I hope you get to take some space the next few weeks.
@KSPrior My attachment is to the place it plays in the things my father was doing before he had his stroke. Enjoying a meal with his wife, shopping for his daughter, buying candy for his grand daughters. I am sentimental about it.
"It’s hard for me to overstate how perfectly suited for propaganda manipulation a generation of A.I. users would be, people who implicitly trust massive digital systems, who don’t generate their own ideas, and who don’t hold important information in their memories."
“Prayer for the good of your elected officials. Pray for the peace of the world. Pray for justice & righteousness to prevail. And let that prayer turn into a desire in your heart so that you never hope that your political opponents fail to do good, only that they fail to do evil”
I really hate this. Nobody should have to go to school and think that possibly they could die from a school shooting. No student should have to experience this. No parent should ever get that phone call.

Jesus is so beautiful. Jesus is so good. Apart from him, I have no good things. At his right thing are abundant good things for ever more. He has the words of life, so who else could I follow?
If that's true, then that's worth building a life around.
