I have all these thoughts and I'm pretty sure they all contradict each other!

God of the universe showed up … [and said] I love you just the way you are but I'm not going to leave you that way. http://t.co/C2TzRIbcHn

This is the first time in history that the story of Yeshua has been Number One in the Sunday Times Bestseller List! Proudest thing I’ve ever done. Because it is a story that affects us all. Our futures. Our hopes and confidences and the way we live and approach both adventure and life. Have you read it yet? What did you feel? #greateststoryevertoldbook #numberone

[Bible Society @biblesociety]

Is the Bible still relevant in a world like this?

🌍
In a world of climate crisis, tech overload and constant change, the Bible can seem ancient and out of touch.

💡
But what if the Bible’s story is still the best framework we have?
A story of creation, brokenness, hope and redemption.

📜
The Bible isn’t just an 'old book' — it’s the world’s bestseller for a reason.
Its pages are full of real questions we’re still asking.

🕊️
The Book of Acts shows how faith shaped a community.
A community that faced political chaos, social upheaval… sound familiar?

✝️
The story of Jesus isn’t stuck in the past.
It’s the hinge of history — and it still changes lives today.

🌟
Revelation doesn’t just describe the end of the world.
It shows hope beyond the chaos — a world made new.

🔍
Maybe the real question isn’t whether the Bible is relevant.
It’s whether we’re willing to let it shape how we live.

It seems odd that God would command rest. Like commanding ice cream or beach days. But the human condition is to hurry through life, rebelling against limitations. So in our dysfunction and addiction, God has to command something that is deeply life giving—Sabbath rest (Comer)

I feel physically sick at Trump’s Gaza clip. I just can’t comprehend how a human being could be so vile.

Can I ask EVERYONE TO PLEASE REPOST THIS CLIP as a counter narrative. It’s essential we tell the truth about this horror show.

Let your repost finger do the talking.

@Plusnet switching to a package without a phone line won’t affect the internet equipment I use with my current Plusnet broadband will it?

Millions at breaking point as “shockingly low incomes” leave them hungry and without the basics https://t.co/xevJEXiMbW

NEW report - Over 11 million people – that’s 1 in every 5 of us – is living on a deficit budget, meaning our household income, whether from wages or benefits, isn’t enough to cover the cost of the basic essentials needed to survive.

I’m not one for complaining but I am gutted! I spent 27 years in the Army and today I was going to vote in my local elections.

I was sadly turned away at the door as my Veteran ID was not allowed as formal ID.

I will be fighting for this “special ID” to be “more” formal🇬🇧

@wacaco_ltd the main body of my nanopresso has cracked 😧 shouldn’t the pressure valve have released before this happened?

@ShowcaseCinemas we’re trying to book tickets, including a wheelchair space, and the carer seat isn’t selectable. We don’t have a CEA card, do we still need to select enough seats for our group?

@TheHannahFH I worked for myself for 15+ years, moved to full time employment last year and still can’t get over to joy of paid holiday and sick leave 😂

Nice one @PeterboroughCC, thanks for replacing the vandalised plastic sign with this lovely wooden one. I’m really impressed this got sorted.

@sainsburys could you make sure your red bush tea pans are sealed properly. At least 6 bags completely open on the side, tea everywhere 😢 ☕️

This is the first robot that I've seen that could actually replace many warehouse workers.

Made by the Germans, of course.

Small plug for myself but if it's of use to anyone attending #ExploringDigital, I'm part of a comms resource created by @baptistuniongb called First Friday. They are free webinar series on comms support that may be help.

In the #Laravel 4.x days, I made a prototype for a company that eventually evolved into a massive app with hundreds of classes and tons of functionality.

Today it runs on Laravel 10 and #PHP 8.2. We always upgraded to the next Laravel and PHP release.

The secret? Keep it simple:

✅ Embrace the framework. Don't fight it.
✅ Don't use too many packages.
✅ No quick fixes. Fix it properly.
✅ Tests, tests, tests.
✅ Reread the Laravel docs every now and then, even if you think you know it all.
