@birdchadlouis My life scripture! But well-studied when it answered a desperate need to survive. So, yes, I totally agree with you. No, I can’t cast mountains of despair into the sea. I have learned, tho, God is with me & will show me the path around, through, over or under.

@birdchadlouis If the ark continued to be in obvious existence through time, say into the Middle Ages and on into today, can you imagine the degree to which it would have become an object of idolatry? Yikes!

@RevKimWChafee Amen, amen, amen.

@RevKimWChafee @JosiahHawthorne Yikes! I’d pass, too, especially in this day and time!

@flemingrut Oh! I am so sorry. May the God of all grace and all comfort surround you and draw you close to his heart in the days ahead.

@KSPrior @BethMooreLPM Oh, my goodness! That’s the face of a real character! Just looking at him makes me want to nuzzle his muzzle and give him a treat…or two. 😁

Kirill Petrenko, Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker and the winner of Denmark's prestigious Léonie Sonning Music Prize, will donate the entire prize money - DKK 1 million (€134,000) - to organizations supporting Ukraine.

"For me, especially as a Russian-born artist, it's really completely shocking that all these wars are going on, particularly now in Ukraine, where people are still trying to live their lives while protecting and defending their sovereignty and their future.

That's why I made the decision to donate the money to different organizations that are supporting Ukraine, particularly those helping children who lost their families during the war, and also to some organizations that are trying to restore cultural sites in Ukraine destroyed by the war - churches, orphanages, and other cultural facilities.

I think this is what is desperately needed right now," Kirill Petrenko said.

Thank you for standing with Ukraine!

@davidwwhitlock He had a complicated family. All were in ministry; his mother played the organ, older brothers Richard & Bill were an evangelical team who came to our church. My folks helped take care of them. Bill got engaged frequently! Left ministry to manage Sam.

@birdchadlouis A former pastor of mine ended every service with an admonition: “Remember. You may be the only Jesus someone sees. Make sure you lead them closer to Christ and never further away.”

Picked up a copy of Henri Nouwen’s 1990 book “In the Name of Jesus: Refections on Christian Leadership.” I was struck by the number of times Nouwen characterized the acquisition of power as a foil of good leadership.

@RevKimWChafee There is no endgame.
