Honored to be able to curate a workout playlist for @BethMooreLPM. Others have asked if y'all can use it–of course!👇

@vidIQ Any idea what’s going on here? I was trying to connect/give permission for VidIQ to post to my YouTube account (something I’ve had set up seamlessly for years, and was surprised to be asked again), and when I tried to authorize it, this is the message. What’s up?

When the ground gives way beneath your feet and you feel like you’re free falling into an inescapable abyss, Jesus is there. You cannot go where he cannot reach. Cry out. He will catch you.

@NancyAFrench Her kids keep her humble, but she’s also clearly on the Ozempic BS train, so… Not that I’ve ever cared what she had to say, but she has ZERO room to say ANYTHING about humility.

(Excellent example for her kids, too, taking a trendy med not intended for its current use. Bravo.)

Folks are baffled why some of us haven’t left Twitter. It’s not Twitter we can’t bring ourselves to leave. It’s each other. I tried to explain to someone yesterday, it’s a way of exchange on here that’d be hard to replicate. Including dumb stuff like this. Lol. Thanks @KalebAxon.

No human, no system, no scholar, no leader, no pastor, no teacher, no politician, no spouse, no neighbor, no foe, no demon or friend has the right to take your faith in Christ from you. They are not him. He is not them. They are clay. He is Rock. They are vapor. He is forever.

Some of y’all are acting like it’s 2016 and we didn’t learn a dang thing about public discourse and the successes and failures of social media to persuade in culture wars. I’ve had quite an education in the last 8 years and I’m not playing games with people who love to hate and bait.

Here’s how this is gonna go: you bait/I block. I spoke loudly eight years ago because I was in a state of total shock. I’m no longer shocked.

Here’s what I mainly want to do on here. I want to encourage people in their faith in Christ and love for the Scriptures — that’s my calling — and remind myself and them that the goal of all discipleship is Christlikeness.

I want to enjoy all sorts of people, show those who don’t know Jesus a little love in his name and maybe bring a little joy and hope to them.

I also want to have fun on here and laugh because some of the funniest people on earth are here. I want to learn from people. I want to talk basketball. I want book recommendations. Recipes. And pictures of dogs.

Those are the main reasons I’m here. I’m not your liberal. I’m not your conservative. And if you think I am, you do not know me from a roly-poly. I am Christ’s. My identity is in him alone. My challenge is to view important decisions through the lens of what seems most like Christ. I get that right sometimes and wrong sometimes. We all do.

I’m very likely going to disappoint some of you this election season because you were counting on a big row. As a loved one of mine often says, I just don’t hate myself enough for that right now.

Sobered by last night and trying to practice what people call radical acceptance, not of a presidential candidate because surprising things happen. Just plainly sobered by the thought that, with other individuals to choose from, masses of people still hail Trump. He’s what they actually want in a leader. A bully. A verbally abusive, artfully and purposely divisive bully who has all but left the Republican Party unrecognizable. I don’t know. I just can’t understand it. Maybe I’ve got a mental block. But, you who are staunch Republicans, why don’t you care about your own party more than that?

Forgive me. I don’t want to be a repeat performance of my 2016 self. I don’t. I didn’t like her anymore than you did. I intend to deal differently with this. I do not intend to get obsessed. I do not intend to lose more relationships. I don’t intend to talk about this regularly.

As the Scriptures say, I want to seek peace and pursue it. I want to be a person of kindness, love and compassion.

But I’ve got to move to a place of radical acceptance. It was one thing to cast a vote for a party’s only candidate, reasoning the choice as the lesser of two evils. This is quite another thing. This is wide-open-eyed, “we WANT Trump!”

Anyway, this is where we are. We can complain all we want about our leaders but, in this government by the people, at the end of the day and the beginning of November, our candidates are mirrors of ourselves.

@JeremyWingert79 @Hersheypark And the fact they won’t admit/acknowledge it publicly further highlights the greed of corporations who couldn’t care less how it affects individual families, as long as their bottom line continues to rise. Doesn’t take an advanced degree to see it’s not proportional to inflation.

There is no world in which the constant sticking of heads in sand and gaslighting victims (and doing horrendous things like then when victims speak up) is remotely what Jesus would do.

@BethMooreLPM Sending so much love and prayers for comfort, this is a pain you should not have to be enduring so soon after losing Queen E. I’m so sorry.💔

[Meg @_nomadic_soul]

I just don’t understand people who want our country to be Christian but don’t want our country to do Christian things.

Like care for the sick, feed the poor, take in the refugee, and love the marginalized.

[Bec @grammaticallyso]

@zoeyduatch You chose the perfect clip here. This was a truly absurd choice.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Dear Tina Turner,

So glad you left a good job in the city working for the man every night and day. You did us women proud and made the world stage decisively rowdier. We’ll keep rolling on the river.

What’s love got to do with it? As it turns out, a lot.

We loved you.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

This is ridiculous. This that I’m holding in my hand here. It’s such a crazy thing how you can work so long on something and you’re still taken aback when the intended result appears. This right here has taken 4 years of constant tending and trouble. And I’m still so fumblingly new at it.

I want to talk to you this morning about not letting this frenetic culture take the fruit of painstaking work from you. Social media has made us instant and editor-less publishers. Trains us to immediately say whatever we’re thinking or post whatever we’re seeing. And that’s not all bad. I love some spontaneity. I’m a sucker for social media because I’m a very social creature.

I’m just saying there are some works God wants to do in us then through us that are meant to outlast us. Works that require many weeks and months and maybe years. Works that take pushing through the loss of focus and interest that inevitably come in the middle of a project. This culture is training us to be starters of 1000 things and finishers of none. Reject it. Fight for your focus. This ongoing fight is one of the most challenging parts of my work.

But this right here. This picture right here. That mentee who’s beginning to get it. That kid you thought would be the death of you showing some character. That painting. That class. That degree. That start up. That material in somebody’s hand who writes and says it meant something to her. To him. The thought, the trouble and the tears that went into it. The self-doubt. The editing. Oh Lord, the editing. The critique. The wounded pride. The restarts. And the just plain weariness that hard work brings. It’s worth it. Because in all the project’s getting old and on your nerves, God is doing something new and on his mind.

Do the work. Pay the price. Finish what you started.

[Bec @grammaticallyso]

@theNewBec I loved reading your insight on this, which is unsurprising, because I always appreciate all you share. But I hate the reality that has led to them. And I’m so glad you feel safer there. I just wish so many would embrace the sentiment in your last reeet if this thread.

And here it is. Reason it’s on my mind. And go to seed on it if you must. But I dang well hope Jesus took his mom with him to fold Tyre up in his arms and carry him gently home. Think what you want. But as for me? I hope he said, “Till yours gets here, you can borrow mine.”
