Hard to believe my boy would have turned 40 yesterday. Ian once told me he wanted to spend eternity in the part of heaven with dogs; I’ll meet you there one day, buddy. I wrote something on the 1-year anniversary of when he moved on to the next world at https://t.co/aTxJavKy5B

“Everything happens for a reason!”
“Don’t worry, God is on the throne.”
“God will never give you more than you can handle.”

None of these things are true, none of them are biblical, and all of them are harmful when dropped on people going through really difficult times.

We have to stop attributing the hateful actions of humans to a loving God.

@bonhoefferchild I still have Tony’s 1980s story of throwing a birthday party for a prostitute at 3 a.m. in Hawaii on cassette. That message truly inspired me and showed the kind of faithful man he really was. Bless him.

@ZachWLambert Rev. 22:18 seems to apply here: “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.”

@jonjones You’re a trooper. I’ve enjoyed your wittiness over the years.

[David dB Brown @daviddBstroh]

@Woodall8Sarah Great show. Action scenes in season 1 were off the charts.

[David dB Brown @daviddBstroh]

@MMAdamMartin I watched an episode of Family Guy while the stream was lagging, so it’s not a total loss.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of anyone with great wealth and power who tells you to fear and despise those with no wealth or power.

They are simply trying to distract you from the ways they are using their own wealth and power.

[Nat @natgrace79]

Christians, there is no asterisk to the teachings of Christ that allow us to say the most vile racist or misogynistic things about a person simply because you disagree with her political ideology.

Be better.

@JESnowden The ultimate male takes on all comers at all times.

This member of the #UFC rankings panel has @AngieOverkill at No. 9. Hope the other rankers do the right thing and give her the top-10 spot she deserves.

Had a blast reading “Milo’s Hat Truck” and making faces today at Murphy Elementary School with the Rotary Club of Murphy #rotaryreads #literacy #education

If you think mixed martial arts is the best sport in the land and the UFC is the top promotion, then you might dig my column comparing my rankings as a member of the UFC’s voting panel to the rest of the voters. Check it out at https://t.co/cqhpTtFDdI

@JESnowden Hey, that was a good year in the squared circle, what with Gordon Solie teaching anatomy (“He’s really straining the quadriceps muscles with that hold”) in every TV event …

[David dB Brown @daviddBstroh]

@JESnowden @BloodyElbow That’s some fine opinionating right there.

[David dB Brown @daviddBstroh]

@cniozzy I’m counting on her still digging old dudes in the next world … playing the long game here.

[David dB Brown @daviddBstroh]

@JESnowden @KristinaSnowden Watched Harley Race wrestle Jack Briscoe to a one-hour draw live once, and it wasn’t boring in the least. What a guy.
