Sojourning Pilgrim

Heaven is my home, Yet here I roam; A sojourner in the land, I live for the Lamb.

And three days later, Jesus rose from the dead.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I compared Muhammad’s last words to Jesus’ last words.

Not just the facts, but the spirit behind them.

And bro, the difference is staggering. It shook my devout Muslim faith.

According to Sahih al-Bukhari, Muhammad’s final words included: “May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians. They made the graves of their prophets into places of worship.”

Those are words associated with his final moments.

No forgiveness. No reconciliation. No peace.

Now compare that to Jesus.

Beaten, betrayed, tortured, hanging on a cross with nails through His wrists, Jesus says:

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

And then: “It is finished.”

One dies speaking curses.

The other dies extending forgiveness.

One ends by drawing lines and reinforcing division.

The other tears the veil and reconciles heaven and earth.

And whether people like it or not, final words reveal something deeply personal about the heart.

That contrast shook me.

Because one man’s final moments reinforced separation, while the other’s changed eternity through mercy, sacrifice, and love.

Please sit with that honestly.

She will be as radical as Mamdani in her second term with no need to think about reelection.

[Sheryl Tolliver @stolliver93]

If our federal government doesnt intervene in this blatant fraud....our country is over. They are doing this in every democrat run state turing them into a shit hole. WHY these governors and mayors that are known crooks.. aren't under crimmal investigations is concerning....especially Bass, a known for founding the M19 radical leftist group that was involved in the 1983 bombing of the captiol!!!!!! Its time....its time to send in the military and stop these Marxists now!!!! Many good people in California that voted republican to get relief and out of the slimy mire they are in... but their votes are stolen right in front of them!!!!

@libsoftiktok The devil hates beauty.

[Sojourning Pilgrim @EdithSCarter]

@libsoftiktok I hope it's being guarded, because these haters are going to try to defile it, especially in the lead-up to July 4th.

Leonardo DaVinci also invented water-walking shoes, though quite different from what we see here. Giving it a try seems like it would be fun, but something tells me Jesus' gait was more natural than this.

I would totally eat at this restaurant. It seems that all their waiters and waitresses have Downs Syndrome. Awesome!

@headcapo1 @OliLondonTV Those people get "ripped" too. But this one seems even more damnable because of the anti-Downs bigotry, and that they are intentionally monetizing all the pathos and melodrama on YouTube for attention and financial gain.

What incredible presence of mind this woman had to be able to reach inside for her parachute and throw it out so it could save her.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

This is nuts. A hang glider gets hit by a Cessna over Austria. She lived!

Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and “See and Avoid” are at play here. The Cessna dude missed the “avoid” part.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

This Danny Bones video explains why British patriots filled the streets yesterday. Though excellent, AI characters are not yet able to imitate the stamp of personality that Yahweh breathes into each human created in His image. May they never.

The Brits are MEGA! They only had boos for UK politicians, but cheers and chants for Donald Trump. Tommy also gives a shout out to Elon Musk for liberating Twitter. #UniteTheKingdom

@HeidiHarrisShow ROFL! "Just have a seat in the back," the officer says. And the guy obeiently gets in, no problem. "A soft answer turns away wrath," Proverbs 15:1 says. The video ended too soon; I'd love to know what happened next.

As someone who was a registered Libertarian voter in California for the first 28 years of my adult life, this is persuasive for me. Kudos to Tom Woodard for such a magnanimous act.

Freedom lovers unite! Let's fight TOGETHER against this bloated nanny state bureaucratic government bossing us around from morning till night! ✊☀️

@DumbFxckFinder He's got my vote; but, to be honest, these adolescent ads are going to wear thin with a lot of undecided voters by election day. They could hurt in the long run.

@ToriatheistTori You only think it works because you have never needed it and experienced the wait times and rationing that make it worthless. You'll more likely be offered MAiD than given any treatment when your time comes that you seek treatment.

@charliebcurran Unfortunately, this second ad may turn off any non-MAGA voters who were drawn to Pratt by the first ad.
