I just lost a foot race to my nearly 17 year old daughter.

My conclusion: She must be ready for the Olympics.

I prefer not “Christian” X…
I don’t know how to fix it, so I just peek in every once in a while.

When Elon Musk was asked, “Why was [Charlie Kirk] killed?”

Musk replied, “He was killed because his words made a difference. Because he was showing people the light, and he was killed by the dark.”

1 Peter 4:12-16

Suffering as a Christian

[12] Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. [13] But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. [14] If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. [15] But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. [16] Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.

Abortion is child sacrifice at the altar of the world’s greatest idol, self.

Psalm 106:36-38

[36] They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.
[37] They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons;
[38] they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood.
