Now that we know the political significance of my $8.75 coral maternity dress from Old Navy, can’t wait to hear what the New York Times has to say about my elastic-waistband pants and compression socks! In the meantime, enjoy my pregnancy fashion (or lack thereof) and a good story with your kids on Storytime with the Second Lady.

School suspends a 5-year-old for fighting.
Dad gets called in. Expecting him to apologize, punish his son, and play the good little parent.
Instead the dad listens to his son:
“This kid was picking on me at recess. I asked him to stop. He didn’t.”
Then the dad turns to the principal and says what every father in America has been thinking:
“So you don’t even know what the bully was doing to my kid… but you’re suspending MY son for ending it?”
He looks at the bully kid and says:
“You gonna think twice before you bully my son again.”
Then he turns to his boy, gives him knuckles right there in the office in front of the principal, assistant principal, counselor, and nurse:
“Son, I’m proud of you. You ain’t suspended. You got a three-day vacation. It’s hunting season. Let’s go.”
Zero tolerance policies are a joke.
They only tolerate one thing: kids who won’t defend themselves.
This dad just reminded every weak administrator in America what real parenting looks like.
Raise men. Not victims.
@annbauerwriter Anyone who gets a DCIS pathology report needs to ask for a second opinion from a pathologist elsewhere. I am so thankful that my breast surgeon did that for me. I didn’t have it after all and that was confirmed via lumpectomy alone. Not uncommon!
Jesus' first miracle wasn't really about running out of wine.
It was about something theologians have argued over for 2,000 years.
The wedding at Cana contains one of the most layered symbols in all of Scripture.
Most people read right past it.
A thread on what it actually means.🧵
Peter is not the Rock, Jesus is.
Mary is not the mediator, Jesus is.
The Pope is not the head of the church, Jesus is.
The Catholic Church is not the way to heaven, Jesus is.
@KeruboSk Several of my great aunts and uncles were born in the 19th century and a few of them lived into their 90’s. I remember them well. I met my great grandmother who was born in 1880’s but I was too young to remember her. I have a photo with her.
I read something I'd never noticed in the Gospels today during tonight's Good Friday service.
We read from Luke 23 where one of the two men who were next to Jesus was mocking Him, and the other criminal responds "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong...Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." Jesus tells the man "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in paradise."
I've heard that many times. What an incredible story of redemption, that Jesus forgave a repentant criminal. As he said himself, he deserved to die for what he had done. And yet, Jesus forgave him immediately upon his confession.
And then we read from Mark 15.
"And with Him they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left."
So there were two there with Him, including the one who repented to Him.
"Those who were crucified with Him also reviled Him."
Wait, does that mean that the penitent thief had been mocking Jesus too?!
When I got home, I looked it up, and it turns out that it says the same thing in Matthew 27.
"And the robbers who were crucified with Him also reviled Him in the same way."
Not only did Jesus forgive the criminal the moment he repented, He did so right after he had been mocking Him.
He forgave him moments later, after he changed his mind and repented.
He truly forgives us, no matter what we've done, or even how recently we did it. We just have to believe that He died for our sins, and repent of our sins to Him.
And He'll forgive you now, if you believe and repent.
The criminal knew how long he had to live. But you and I don't. So don't leave for tomorrow what should be done right now. Surrender your life to Jesus. Believe that His death is sufficient to save you, and repent of your sins to Him.
Thank You, Jesus, for giving Your life for our sins.
A blessed Good Friday to you all.
@DrShayPhD@KALSNAIL@churchtalkative Well dear, you might want to read some more Ellen. I spent over 50 years there, went to all their schools, and I wish you Sabbath rest in Christ.
@KALSNAIL@churchtalkative It’s very much faith plus works. Do your very best and God will do the rest. Assurance of salvation is not a thing. Your personal probation might have already closed. Satan is the scapegoat. The seal of God is the faithful keeping of 7th day Sabbath.

We stayed at a hotel and went to the free breakfast buffet. There's an omelet bar but the line is so long we just ignored it and served ourselves (bagels, fruit, yogurt, juice, etc).
Imagine our surprise when we were halfway through eating and a staff member puts this on the table without a word and walks away. The "free" buffet "costs" $20 each but there's a "discount" because it's free.
We seated ourselves, served ourselves, and cleaned up after ourselves. Why in the world would we leave a tip?
