Got to love being back in the central belt. I’m sat in the barbers, woman walks in with her bf and sits down next to me. Slaps me on the leg and shouts “ARE YOU WAITING TO GET YOUR HAIRCUT?” Nah mate I just love the sound of clippers.

@MSidgwick First time I watched The Godfather was in a thunderstorm, and that was some experience. Might be worth a rewatch on a night like this?

Have you ever wondered why the universe is so beautiful? It didn’t have to be, but it is. But why? For what purpose?

Calcutta Cup, 2019. The famous Scotland comeback game. Darcy Graham’s day ends after this incident with Owen Farrell. No card issued, just a penalty. Still happening four years later.

I first heard Tim Keller preach on Christ in Exodus. I’d never heard someone explain like that how the whole Bible fit together.

I read A Reason for God and grew in my confidence to share the gospel without defensiveness.

I read his books on marriage, preaching, work, justice, and other topics and grew from his wisdom and scriptural application.

Most of all, inspired by his mix of apologetics, pastoral heart, piety, evangelism and commitment to the local church.

When nobody raised their hand to go to NY, he went and committed himself to learning that city. God used him to bring many thousands to faith.

The heart of an evangelist. The approach of an apologist, the commitment of a pastor, the precision of a theologian. He was a brilliant scholar who never flaunted his intellect. He could he prophetic without being condescending.

I thank God for Tim Keller.

I honestly don’t understand how yesterday wasn’t the day that Scotland realised what an absolute gift @_KateForbes is.

She had every reason, politically, to lie about her beliefs… yet chose not to.

The number of people at uni I met from the central belt/internationals who would’ve believed this when I told them I was from the Western Isles is worrying lol

Watching the emergency services drive past in Stornoway, each with their own Santas driving. Now wondering how parents are going to explain how he was in 4 different vehicles at once

the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures for ever.’ ”

We’ve sadly seen half of that promise come true today, but she’s now living the other half’s fulfilment

[Ally Macleod @ally_calmac]

Seeing the tribalism on this site, even in the face of what’s happened today, really leaves me sad and confused.

I love football, but I really can’t (and never have been able to) understand why supporting a football team can be the decider on all else in your life. 🧵

That’s the steadfast hope the gospel brought her, and brings us in times like this:

“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For,
