Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
@Calanon24 @djos24 I wonder if this is a “I love Jesus but I cuss a little” type situation… but the Church has been on edge so much lately (I blame Driscoll) that they’re playing it super safe. Not saying that’s what happened but the vagueness makes me think it could be along those lines.
No 86-year-old should fear for her safety when going to the grocery store.
No nine-year-old should be afraid to go to school.
No 18-year-old should be able to buy a weapon of war.
We need to pass commonsense gun safety laws.
My other grandma died tonight. I have no grandparents left. One of my previous pastors died last weekend. I know life will end. I don’t have fear of my life ending soon. The fear is that anyone I love could go to be with Jesus at any minute. &&& that’s on OCD + spiritual trauma.
All Ill say about Hillsong is that no one is shocked anymore when church leaders are accused of sexual assault. And the subtext is purity culture.
Sex crimes will always abound in institutions where sex is rooted in shame, fear, repression, & control. Purity culture breeds abuse

This is a brilliant example of how to be a Christian in the public square. Notice the witness, but in a form the culture can handle. We should desire to have more Christians in these spaces and give them grace as they operate.
I’m no therapist, but the more people I talk to, it is clear how much anger, fear and PTSD people have from the 2021 winter storm.
Forecasters say this pending freeze won’t be as bad, but the mind (including my own) is transporting us back to the darkest — and coldest — of days.
