She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot. Mark Twain
9:00 AM. Every day, Ukraine stops.
Cities go quiet. Traffic stills. Voices fall silent. For one minute, nothing moves — only memory.
Ukraine remembers those who stood in its defense and did not come home. Those who gave their lives for the right of Ukraine to be free, strong and unbroken. Those whose names live not only in history — but in the heart of every Ukrainian.
Freedom is not abstract here. It has faces. It has names. It has families who still set a place at the table.
Every morning at 9:00, Ukraine remembers why it stands — and for whom it keeps going.
Trump is 80 years old and unhealthy, he’s one foot in the grave but all his enablers? They still have a whole life ahead of them and we all have a responsibility to make sure each and every one of them spends that remaining time in prison.
@ReformedGunn@noedenelsewhere The SBC used to ordain women in the not very distant past. You might not have studied your church history or your Bible but I have done both for many years. You should probably read more
@ReformedGunn@noedenelsewhere Perhaps you need to read about Phoebe, Junia, Lydia, and Priscilla who were respectively a Deacon, an Apostle, a founder of an early church, and a foundational TEACHER and church planter who instructed Apollos . Paul mentions them, by name and position, in the Bible
@ReformedGunn@noedenelsewhere That verse doesn’t say a word about limiting pastoral work solely to men.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Perhaps you meant a different, more applicable verse
@jackbinswitch@LeahRay44 One of our friends from Tunisia would ask us repeatedly who owned all the land and when we told him the people owned it he was surprised the government didn’t. He asked if he could buy it and when we told him anyone could buy land for sale he was so surprised
@LeahRay44 America is a big country. We have vast stretches of open land and lots of small towns along the way. Our cities, even the large ones aren’t as crowded as other places around the world
