I have Stage IV pancreatic cancer. But it is endlessly comforting to have a God who is both infinitely more wise and more loving than I am. He has plenty of good reasons for everything he does and allows that I cannot know, and therein is my hope and strength.
@EconTalker@pLazLouis813 I have found Tending the Heart of Virtue: How Classic Stories Awaken a Child's Moral Imagination by Vigen Guroian to be a great guide in selecting children's lit.
For years my boss and I have dreamed of more shelter beds for our neighbors on the streets. Yesterday we posted a notice of application. We are taking a big step closer! @ Everett Gospel Mission https://t.co/cxTcRJGcLa
Not sure why it is controversial that when sinful people build institutions and systems their sin gets embedded in the fabric of those systems and the effects outlast the lives the builders, carrying on as long as the system remains unchanged.
@Ygtbkm5 @gblanston09@komonews Also what makes you assume that those released are committing the crimes. Lots of people out of work and opportunists abound in our world talking, who are taking advantage of the confusion.
@RyanKIRO7 @SnoHD@snocounty So is the SnoHD capping test at 2500 due to supply limits? Just trying to understand if there are requests for 4000 tests per week?
There is a lot of talk about how after this virus passes, whenever that may be, we have to "build a better world." This was a theme in a number of mock commencement addresses that the @WSJ collected in yesterday's edition. There is a temptation to dismiss this as an 1/n
@mika_edmondson I think your presentation of a false dichotomy of people versus economy is not helpful to the discussion. People are the economy and the economy are people. A broken and bad economy is bad for people's health and wellbeing. BTW, so is inciting disregard of a governor's orders.
Marriage should be honored.
But faithful shepherds must *always* prioritize the safety and well-being of abuse survivors over the mere maintenance of a marriage.
Like the sabbath, the institution of marriage was made for man/woman, not man/woman for the institution of marriage.
@mika_edmondson I would grow from hearing how people from majority culture, particularly male, cultivate the conversation safely. What practices when in a supervisory role, peer role and subordinate role help? Please help me grow and be a better leader, aka servant, in this area.
If someone is criticizing you and the criticism is mostly mistaken, identify the 20 percent of the indictment that is fair. Without excuse be willing to take it to heart. The strongest Christians are the ones most willing to repent.
