A God chasing, wife loving, girl-dad who loves coffee, Husker football, and Jesus. Oh, and I'm a Bible Jedi too.

@AbbieSomething I feel like the patch differentiates the jersey from Wisconsin, Rutgers, et al. Especially when you also change the numbers from block to rounded style. As a fan who grew up in the 80s and 90s I feel like there should be something that makes us different than other red teams

@SkersNews It's a combination of many things already mentioned: success in other sports (bball, vball, softball, wrestling, baseball, etc.); years of meh after "winning" the offseason; the transfer portal eroding fan investment into players that will leave in a year, etc. etc. etc.

As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:

“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”

Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.

But as Adam’s wrote, America:  “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”

The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.  

Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”

As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.  

But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.

Nebraska's defense is simply broken

[Dave Richmond 📖✝️🎈🎈🎈🏈🏈🏈 @dprichmond77]

@Sean_Callahan I agree with this move. The number of big run plays given up either due to wrong alignment or horribly bad angles taken to the runner are signs of poor coaching. Mobile QBs ate our lunch all season, and I think he lost the players after the PSU game.

[Nate Clouse @NateClouse]

This B1G officiating crew at the Huskers game is terrible. Maybe one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time.

[Steven Sipple @steven_sipple]

I don't know what to say about Nebraska's offensive line right now but it needs to get its collective act together quickly.

Feel like I’ve been waiting 30 years for @Huskers to become special again.

[Dave Richmond 📖✝️🎈🎈🎈🏈🏈🏈 @dprichmond77]

@trev11717 @jamespruch Because earlier they let 5-6 seconds tick off when he tries to call a time out. The refs haven't been efficient with the clock at all

[Dave Richmond 📖✝️🎈🎈🎈🏈🏈🏈 @dprichmond77]

If Cincy is able to run that easily on our D, it's gonna be a long season in the #B1G for @HuskerFootball

There are two ways of being a prophet. One is to tell the enslaved that they can be free. It is the difficult path of Moses.

The second is to tell those who think they are free that they are in fact enslaved. This is the even more difficult path of Jesus.

Historian here:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

[Dan Carlin @dccommonsense]

The stuff in the White House today between Trump and Zelinski and Vance is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in American politics. I don't even know how to process it. "Bullying" seems a weird adjective to use when talking about a president...but that's what it was.

"Expect hostility when God is at work. And expect it to come from where you least expect it ---among the leadership of the religious status quo." (cf. John 5:18)

AIDS deaths and starvation rising in Africa... hospitals closing in refugee camps in Thailand... kids watching their grandparents being dragged away in the US.

It shouldn't be controversial to say that any movement that brings "bad news to the poor" is not a Christian movement.

Thomas Merton was once asked what he considered to be the major spiritual disease in the Western world.

His answer: “Efficiency.

When we Americans talk about Canada it would be only right and correct to note that we have fought and died with them in a couple of World Wars and their valor is every bit as legendary as our own. Good luck finding a better friend.

5 things I’m re-discovering about the social and cultural climate we live in:

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven.

[Taylor G. Petrey @TaylorPetrey]

The President demanding an apology for a bishop’s sermon and a congressperson calling for her deportation and the MAGA response to take away tax exempt status and harass staff are what actual attacks on religious freedom look like. Christian nationalism is coming for us all.
