Good things are happening, and while colder, shorter days can be downers, we can stay #positive by sharing #goodnews.

What's something good you experienced recently? Or, what are you #excited about now or in the near future?

Won't you help me as I walk Oct. 12 to support the National Alliance on Mental Health (#NAMI)? Let's partner for greater #mentalhealth for our community! https://t.co/g1hXc6h7Xs via @DonorDrive

@mockingbirdmin Re:branding & church—Leonard Ravenhill said, “You never have to advertise a fire.” People want to see “God’s fire” active in their church. Many churches are fire-less, dead. They substitute ads & glitz for fire. But people want to encounter God in power. Can’t fake that.

@kdchadw @benshapiro Yes, Kyle. This is the dirty truth no one wants to face because no one has a solution. A lot of men over 55 want to work a decent job but many companies will not even talk to them, and corporate résumé-reading AIs boot anyone who graduated before 2000.

@benshapiro Ben, how many employees at the Daily Wire are over 65 and make a salary that matches U.S. median household income? Please publish a list of companies currently hiring workers 65+ and paying them $70K/yr. or more. Heck, age 60 would be good enough. Thanks.

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@benshapiro Go to any growing company‘s website, especially in tech, look at the staff page, and see how many staff—outside of the owner/CEO—are men over 50. No one with gray hair? Now you know why men over 50 are depressed and ending their lives. No one is hiring them.

@iEricKohn @benshapiro @DavidBahnsen @ActonInstitute Bahnsen’s interview blames the average worker and says nothing about the predatory business practices that explain worker discontent. Bahnsen seems unaware of what the average worker faces or what business can do to address those concerns.

@iEricKohn @benshapiro @DavidBahnsen @ActonInstitute Re: retirement—At an HR staff meeting of a global company, the director announced, “Don’t even talk to anyone with gray hair.” If companies aren‘t hiring people over 55, how does working past 65 and making a livable wage actually happen?

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@benshapiro “Work till you’re 70+” sounds great on paper, but then a lot of companies are refusing to hire people over 55, unwilling to pay the kind of money an experienced, dedicated worker is due. Why is suicide increasing among men over 50? Start here.

@HirookaRicardo This is likely an AI manipulation based on an actual pic of her. I can’t find this image anywhere before last month. Her nose has been shortened, her eyes enhanced, chin rounded, and her necklace looks wrong too. Source pic below…

@RichTatum All fabrications. ;-)

@ianharber Back in the 1990s, this was "Ready. Fire. Aim." Same destructive outcome as Zuck's.

I guess no one recalls "Unless the Lord builds the house, the laborers labor in vain."

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@ianharber Every day God places certain things in the hand of a disciple. If we drop them on the ground daily, then we are not being disciples. But if we want to please God and do with them what we believe is right by God, then no one should judge how we chose to implement them.

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@ianharber The clash: when the path God leads you down is 180 from the one He leads me down. Christians then accuse each other of being deficient disciples. But what if God wants me to design planes missionaries use to fly to the mission field rather than be that missionary?

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@DavidAFrench That any poll has either of these two options at the top…well, it's clear that the problem facing America is neither of those two options but a voting citizenry that has lost its marbles.

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@SkyeJethani Serious mental illness occurs at a 5.5% rate among adults in the U.S. It is important to make this distinction when talking about mental health. A person can have lingering feelings of sadness and not have serious mental illness. (https://t.co/fOlE1tiz2y)

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@SkyeJethani Christians comprise the Church and—in America—"We, the People" in our democratic government. This makes the Church part of the government here. We have no direct example of this from Scripture. Sadly, Erre ignores this crucial nuance.

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@benshapiro The problem will come when the State decides that religious belief is a mental illness. There are folks already pushing that agenda.

[Dan Edelen @danedelen]

@Timcast A mental health provision on ownership seems like common sense—until people who believe in God or who hold to biblical beliefs are declared by the State to be mentally ill. (Which is exactly what it's going to come down to someday.)
