@jamiebgolden More people need to know that reviews are pass/fail!! If they pass, five stars. If they fail, we contact the company to give them the chance to make it right.

This picture of Hutch may go unnoticed by some, but pay attention to the Latin words on his shirt, “Resurget Cineribus” — To Rise from the ashes.

History Lesson:

For those who may find this puzzling, in 1805, the entire city of Detroit burned to the ground, leaving only one building standing. In the aftermath, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward devised a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. The layout mirrored the design of the nation’s capital, featuring diagonal streets radiating like the spokes of a wheel.

On the Detroit City Flag, the inscription reads, “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” translating to “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” The City of Detroit literally rose from the ashes, symbolizing rebirth and resilience.

The city motto and the sports teams share a profound connection, especially in recent years with the consistent rebuilding efforts of each team. The Lions embody the essence of the motto, “Rise from ashes.” Just three years ago, the Detroit Lions had a first-year coach, an underrated quarterback, and a dismal 3-13-1 record. Today, they stand just one game away from a Super Bowl appearance.

So when the nation wonders why this Lions’ journey is so extraordinary, it’s because it mirrors the unique spirit of Detroit. Through unwavering determination and hard work, we rebuild until the product is perfected. Throughout history, there have been moments when Detroit moved the world, and now, once again, the city and its football team rise from the ashes to inspire us all.

Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊

In all my years of singleness and aunthood, I've never taken much time to imagine single Jesus at a family dinner surrounded by his siblings and their very possible (probable?) spouses and children. How has Uncle Jesus never occurred to me?

So I simply cannot wait any longer to show off our students’ Adopt-a-Shelves!!! Some are still in progress, but the ones who have created their mini book displays completely by their own design have knocked it out of the park! Photos of individual shelves in 🧵

@Nina_0421 @diversebooks Little Bear Needs Glasses by Christine Faust & Bernd Penners was great for our 2yo when he got glasses. The characters are animals, but the vinyl glasses “stickers” were so inviting.

@brettmccracken Pastor Brett, there is wisdom in not assuming that the entire American education system is void of educators that teach wisdom, discernment, creativity, and other communicable attributes of God. Wisdom is taught every day by people in the system.

A neighbor gave me an ornament stand for my memorial ornament honoring my infant niece, who was born on Christmas Eve. #bestofbuynothing

@MieschTodd @courtneyellis Yesss! I came here to say this!!

@BrianMendler Clear is kind. As a substitute teacher, it’s important to me to make clear to students 1) how I work as a teacher and 2) what they can expect from me as their teacher. Students feel safe and respected, so they buy in

@faithinkids @thegoodbookuk @thegoodbookusa David’s psalms are my favorite because they tell a story of a sinful heart that wants a relationship with God.
