Walking with Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easier life, it doesn’t guarantee that things would always go our way. Sometimes God may send us into a storm, sometimes He may lead us into a valley. But it’s in those moment where we learn to trust Him and we learn to surrender, which isn’t easy. It’s in those moments where we can see how weak we are without Jesus and how much we need Him. God doesn’t abandon us in the storm or valley and He’s not working against us. He’s with us in every moment and He’s for us. In those moments, sometimes it’s hard to see what He’s doing, but we have to walk by faith and we have to hold on to His promises. The storms and the valleys that He takes us through at times are not meant to destroy us, but it’s to draw us closer to Him and to build us up into the man and the woman He’s calling us to be. Don’t let go, keep holding on!
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
If you grew up in the 80s, fear mongering politics doesn't scare you much because you already survived acid rain, piranhas and solid metal playgrounds. Rain tried to kill you, piranhas could skeletonize a cow in 4 seconds and every playground slide could fry an egg #80sSurvivor
So I just got on this plane with my daughter, and found out our seats weren’t next to each other. I really ain’t wanna inconvenience anyone by asking them to swap seats, but before I could say anything this kind older gentleman offered his seat to Kensli so we could sit together. We both said thank you and as he stands up, I realize it’s THE Martin Short!! So cool and Kensli freaked out cause she’s obsessed with The Santa Clause 3. What an awesome person!

Rhetoric is going to get ugly this week. Remember you’re debating other humans. Remember we are called to love God (why we respect life) and love others (why we shouldn’t be vicious jerks). Just a reminder for us all.
33 years ago today, the nation was rocked by the deadly terrorist plot unfolding at Nakatomi Plaza.
Thanks to the bravery of Officer John McClane and Sergeant Al Powell, the terrorists were stopped and we celebrate their story and friendship every Christmas.
I'm very sad to hear about the passing of my parents' good friend, and my father's wonderful colleague, Justice Ginsburg. May her memory be a blessing. I'd like to share a couple of passages that convey what she meant to my dad.../3
Christ stands ready to receive the poorest, vilest, most miserable sinner. Even me. Indeed, he isn’t just standing ready; he is rushing toward us in love.

Be suspicious of any expert ignoring this paper and discussing anecdotes instead.
