This is good 💯

Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis

This is embarrassing for Illinois.

@LifeofFitz Our Southwest flight out of Oklahoma City is canceled. Guess we will be driving it.

@LifeofFitz Sometimes the truth hurts.

@Riley_Gates Any idea why the Chiefs are not being shown on NFL net work in Salina? They are showing Carolina and New England.

[Pat Ochs @OchsPat]

@1_MattHall @LifeofFitz Just listened to the podcast. Wishing you the best!

Imagine @realDonaldTrump, @JoeBiden, @marcorubio and @tedcruz all in school with this gutsy and inspirational young man. Trump is the guy who would have bullied him. Rubio is the guy who would have looked away and Biden is the guy who would have knocked the bully on his ass. 1/2

@DYoungRivals My five-year-old grandson loves their mints.

I’m glad to wear a mask to protect myself and those around me, and to support our frontline workers. You should encourage your family and friends to do the same.

Sadly, the moment we have been dreading has arrived. Saline County joins other counties that have a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 in a local resident.

Homeschooling is going well. Two students suspended for fighting and one teacher fired for drinking on the job.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Holy Spirit, give us the joy of the resurrection, the perennial youth of the heart!

[Trooper Ben @TrooperBenKs]

A BIG shout out to all the kids who didn’t win an award, or make honor roll and barely made it through the school year.

You are WORTHY of a pat on the back.

Kindness, creativity and tenacity OFTEN don’t get the recognition they deserve.

Don’t forget those kids…

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Today, World Youth Day, I would like to mention all those young saints, especially the saints “next door” to us, known only to God; sometimes he likes to surprise us with them. #DiocesanWYD

7 years ago today I woke up on the floor of a prison cell...I had nothing to live for, or so I thought. If I had known the size of the blessing that was coming, I would have understood the magnitude of the battle I was fighting!I got up, there is Hope!! #soberlife #7yearssober

Go get a checkup. My brothers, the thought that you can tough out your illnesses must stop. You are not tougher than untreated cancer. I may have found out too late, but in my time left — be it five years or 50 — I shall preach #PSAknowyourscore until I breath no more.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to https://t.co/ob1Ynoesod today and pass this on — you just might save a life.

And ESPN3 is down. It’s like clockwork every year.
