2/🧵it is more than a nutritional supply,
it has been demonstrated that breast milk leukocytes respond dynamically to maternal as well as infant infections, and that reverse flow of milk
from the infant mouth back into mum delivers signals that morph the milk to the child’s needs
the mother of a premature baby produces milk with more fats and secretory immunoglobulin the latter protect the baby until the development of the immune system
Animal studies show the composition of milk even changes when daughters or sons are fed.
Milk even changes throughout the day,
Breast milk contains melatonin, the sleep hormone, and tryptophan, an amino acid that contributes to its production. These components fluctuate in a cyclical pattern that may aid in regulating infants' sleep and wakefulness.
But I think the most amazing study came in 2007. Stem cells were discovered in human breast milk.
A study conducted in 2014 tracked these stem cells in nursing mice and observed that they migrated from the mother's mammary glands, crossed the stomach walls of the pups, and integrated into developing tissues throughout their bodies. Even when when the baby mice grew up, the mother's cells remained present and had transformed into mature tissues alongside the offspring's cells.

When Sue and I became followers of Jesus, we learned many new things and adopted many new practices. Our pastor taught us that one of the things we do to be like Jesus is to “seek out lonely people” and visit “shut-ins” on Sabbath: elderly people, sick people, isolated people.
May I suggest one of the most glorious and Godlike things you can do with your time on Sabbath is to go visit people who are alone. Bring them something to eat. Tell them a story. Laugh your head off with them. Let them experience the joy & dignity of being seen, heard, touched.
He's imploring social media companies to censor Americans. That's state action in violation of the First Amendment.
SCOTUS held in 1973 that the government “may not induce, encourage or promote private persons to accomplish what it is constitutionally forbidden to accomplish.”
Secularity is a new set of beliefs about reality, rationality, human nature—that can’t be proven, are not self-evident, and have as many contradictions as any set of religious beliefs. It is a faith-based worldview that will not admit what it is. (Sum of C.Taylor “A Secular Age”)
Preaching and, especially, practicing the gospel of Jesus Christ is the most #antiracist thing that can be done by anyone ever.
The gospel alone is powerful enough to thoroughly and lastingly fix people, all people. Therefore, the gospel alone has the power to truly end #racism.
