I wish the WH would send out some technologists as surrogates, to explain in plain English that This. ‘Glitch’. Is. Not. Possible. Live platforms are checked by human tech teams continually and bugs are fixed daily if not hourly. If this actually happened many, many people tasked with making software keep working, would have to be asleep, drugged or dead while on the job.

@Brooketaylortv Agree with Dad, especially on being conversational. We see your personality in those moments.

@JamesBlairUSA And what would happen if someone lied? Any verification if someone checked yes for citizen?

This week I’m singing a few hymns for a project and I realize I’d never heard the verses of “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.”

My goodness.

“O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.”

🚨🚨🚨🚨Today the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide.

This is the biggest legislative step this issue has taken in years but it is not law.

The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where there is still an opportunity for it to be debated, amended, or rejected. If you care about health and circadian biology, this is the time to speak up.

The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong:

• Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock.
• Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing exposure to morning light when our brains need it most.
• Later sunrises are associated with chronic circadian misalignment, sleep loss, poorer mood, reduced alertness, and increased cardiometabolic risk.
• Studies comparing western versus eastern portions of time zones consistently show worse health outcomes where people experience later sunrises despite sharing the same clock time.
• The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and numerous sleep and circadian experts recommend permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST, as the option that best aligns with human biology.

The argument for permanent DST is largely one of convenience and preference for lighter evenings. The argument for permanent Standard Time is one of physiology and public health.

If you believe our laws should reflect the best available scientific evidence, now is the time to respectfully contact your U.S. Senators. Tell them that while ending the twice-yearly clock changes is a worthy goal, permanent Daylight Saving Time is not the healthiest solution. Ask them instead to support permanent Standard Time, which preserves the morning light our circadian system depends on.

Please REPOST this. The Senate has not yet voted, and informed voices can still make a difference.

@LeaderJohnThune is the Senate majority leader that will determine when this legislation comes to the Senate for debate. He should know how you feel.

Man doesn’t get any higher than when he overlooks a transgression. That’s his glory. That’s the pinnacle of being a human being when you rise above your anger and your hatred, your hostility, your bitterness.

Forgiveness in the Age of Rage — John MacArthur // August 27, 2017

So I want you to understand what the Bible says about the importance of forgiveness; and we’re going to look at that wonderful little letter by the apostle Paul called Philemon, but not tonight. That’s for next time, because I want you to understand the big picture of forgiveness as presented in the Bible, and we’ll take the bird’s eye view, and then we’ll go down and get the worm’s eye view in the Philemon, which gives us a wonderful illustration of forgiveness. In fact, it’s a whole book written on the subject of forgiveness.

But, first of all, I want to remind you that Proverbs 19:11 says, “A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is a man’s glory to overlook a transgression. A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger,” – discretion being wisdom – “and it is a man’s glory to overlook a transgression.” Man doesn’t get any higher than when he overlooks a transgression. That’s his glory. That’s the pinnacle of being a human being when you rise above your anger and your hatred, your hostility, your bitterness.

Proverbs 10, verse 12 says, “Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions, love covers all transgressions.” And Peter referred to that in 1 Peter 4:8 where he says, “Love covers a multitude of sins.” It is a man’s glory to overlook a transgression.

Of all the human qualities, of all the human virtues, none is more godlike than forgiveness. None is more godlike than forgiveness. None of us would have any relationship to God that would be considered at all positive if God were not a forgiving God. We who know God, we who have been redeemed by God, we who have received salvation have received it because God forgives.

Never are you more like Satan than when you’re angry, and you hate, and you desire to kill. Never are you more like God than when you forgive; that is a man’s glory. That should be on display in the church of Jesus Christ in every relationship, and collectively in the community of believers.

And I will just tell you this: I’ve lived long enough to know that you can go to many, many churches, and you will find, if not sort of smoldering below the surface, hostility, you’ll find open hostility. And it comes down to the fact, not that people were offended, but that when they were offended they refused to forgive. It splits churches. It harms the testimony of the gospel. “By this shall all men know that you’re My disciples, if you have love one for another.” Love forgives.

The price of not forgiving is very high. Let me approach it negatively at least for a minute. The problem with not forgiving is that unforgiveness imprisons people in their past. Unforgiveness imprisons people in their past. As long as you refuse to forgive offenses and the offenders, you are shackled to their offense. As long as you refuse to forgive, you keep the pain alive. In fact, you pour gas on the wound.

As long as you refuse to forgive, it’s like picking at an open sore; you constantly keep it from healing. You’re sentencing yourself to go through your life feeling as bad as you do now, and likely worse, because you fuel that lack of forgiveness. You choose to love hate and to love anger, and sentence yourself to bondage to that horrible reality. Only a fool would imprison himself in a past offense by refusing to forgive in love and move on.

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

A successful life isn't measured by how much money you make or how famous you become. It's measured by your faithfulness to God and your obedience to his commands.

[Holy Bible @Holy__Bible1]

Heavenly Father,
Please bring healing, strength, and peace to every patient. Ease their pain, restore their health, and surround them with Your love and comfort. Give wisdom to the doctors and hope to every heart. May Your grace sustain them each day.
In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏
