Just a person living for things that matter. I look for things that matter and share some thoughts about them. As I share, I hope to make us both think more.
When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert.
Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold.
In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4.
He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself.
Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp.
You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets.
Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85.
You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest.
The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain.
One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control.
And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time.
The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24.
It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper.
Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries.
The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it.
I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol.
Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it.
The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.
An old man is selling watermelons by the side of the road.
His sign reads:
1 for $3
3 for $10
A young man stops and buys one watermelon.
“That’ll be $3,” says the old man.
The young man then buys a second watermelon. And then a third.
After paying another $3 each time, the young man picks up his watermelons and starts to walk away.
Then he turns back, grinning proudly.
“Hey old man,” he says, “you realize I just bought three watermelons for $9 instead of $10? Maybe business isn’t your thing.”
The old man smiles and shakes his head.
“Funny… every time somebody comes by, they buy three watermelons instead of one… and then try to teach me business.”
BREAKING: Far-left militants dressed in black bloc accosted our reporter @TaylerUSA outside the Metropolitan Police Department in Los Angeles while he covered a May Day demonstration.
The mob first surrounded him, deliberately outing his work with Turning Point USA to paint a target on his back.
They warned him he risked getting “Kirk’d” and demanded he leave — then repeatedly screamed: “F*** Charlie Kirk! F*** him in his neck hole!”

What’s your favorite abortion method? That’s what @RepBrandonGill asked abortion advocate Jessica Waters in a House Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He described different methods in detail, asking her if it was the suction method (tears the baby’s body apart with strong suction), the dilation and curettage method (baby’s body is cut apart by a looped knife and extracted), the dilation and evacuation method (baby is dismembered by forceps and removed), or the saline method (a salt solution is injected into the womb, burning and killing the baby). Although this is hard to hear, it is the reality of abortion. Maybe you have had an abortion, and that sin has haunted you. Did you know that God loves you and is willing to forgive you? God is in the forgiving business! He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to save you from your sins. Jesus took your sins to the cross, bled and died for your sins, and God raised Him to life on the third day. You can experience God’s forgiveness if you confess your sin to Him and believe on the Name of Jesus Christ. https://t.co/82npnHZLTj

The Lord didn’t check who inside the house was worthy. He checked for blood on the doorposts.
None of us is worthy. Only the blood of Jesus can cover us.

Dear Democrats, I’m Black and I know how to get an ID.
I come from a rough background and the foster care system and even dealing with that, I still figured it out.
So don’t use the hardships some Black people face as an excuse to say they don’t know how to get an ID — because I’m living proof that’s not true.
Even as a teenager, I knew what I had to do.
I knew I needed an ID to drive, so I got my permit, then my license.
When I turned 21, I couldn’t wait to update my ID so it showed I was 21 and over.
I even knew how to go get it updated.
I figured it out, just like millions of Americans do every day.
So now that I vote, I know I need an ID for that too.
Don’t tell me that because I’m Black, I don’t know how to get an ID or vote.
I think it’s racist to assume Black people don’t know how to get an ID or know how to vote.
