Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it...in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.

It is with great sadness—but greater appreciation for his well-lived life—that we share the news of Frederick Buechner’s peaceful passing at 96. Please share your thoughts, prayers, and favorite quotes here and elsewhere in his memory. #inmemoriambuechner https://t.co/7DOUK0YaS1

The person I want to read right now is @ZachLowe_NBA.

@harvilla I think the "colon" is why we've always wondered what exactly Bill Murray whispered in this scene. Just throws you off.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

Their QB is 12/27, and the Bears are up 23-17 thanks to touchdowns on defense and special teams.

This is home, baby.

@BleacherNation I see some Mookie Blaylock too..

@statmuse A poster of what an offensive foul looks like?

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that released the year you turned 18.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@statmuse Wait. They won? I could have sworn I saw the opposite earlier…

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@JacobyCochran "Joy" is not a word that I have associated with Bulls basketball lately, but that is precisely what Coby brings.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@ATRightMovies Enough said.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

However this goes, this guy played his ass off. Often in really bad circumstances for most of his career. Tough as hell.

Deserves a ton of credit for enduring everything he did, not totally losing confidence when he could've, and improving along the way.

This was awesome. Watch #88 for Michigan.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@byjoelanderson Ummmm, our shot at Caleb Williams (or Marvin Harrison Jr.) resides in Carolina.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@robertmays 4 turnovers, 4 field goals, and not much else. Chicago #Bears football at its finest.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

Today, I have eaten pumpkin donuts, taken photos of leaves, and consumed a Honeycrisp apple. They will have to pry fall from my cold dead hands.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@phligirl I feel like I have been watching the same game week after week for SO many reasons.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@kfishbain It was clearly that 3rd and 19 draw.

[Clifton Johnson @cliftontjohnson]

@Nate_Tice Not watching the game and not a fan of either team, but I have watched over and over and still don't see a fair catch call.
