Very happily married. Trying to be a devoted son to my Lord Father. I believe that Romans 12:9 applies to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

@WesleyLHuff @britishlibrary Thank you for highlighting this. I went earlier today and loved them. Such a beautiful collection.

@MrTimDunn I knew they were old, but I had no idea they were that old! I've only ever seen them at a distance; I do home some are preserved when the new tender is filled.

@DrHelenFry I'd heard of neither. Thank you for educating me.

Have you heard of the Military Intelligence Museum?

It’s moving to one of Britain’s best-kept secrets: the London Tunnels.

Built to protect us during the Blitz and hidden for nearly 70 years - these mile-long tunnels are about to open to the public!

I’m proud to be an ambassador for this exciting project!

@Aestheticsn1 No.

@Longtstanding Not well, but that's not really a conversation for Twitter. Also not that important for you and the war. More importantly I hope you're well.

@Kristinartz It rather depends what country it's in, but looks like the 1970s.

@NoContextBrits I think we may have been there ourselves. Must be very tiring for the owners.

@LumenX_ Honestly, I don't know. I hope so.

@loveisfreeangel Well the croc is so badly deformed it probably can't eat anything else. On the other hand, that's a white rhino on the right, and given the lack of any cover it'll definitely see me coming, so that makes it by far the safest route.

In 1943, the Gestapo finally caught Raymond Aubrac — one of France's most wanted Resistance leaders. He was sentenced to death. His execution was days away.
His wife Lucie was six months pregnant.
Most people would have hidden. Would have grieved quietly and prayed for a miracle. Lucie Aubrac did something else entirely. She obtained forged identity papers, constructed a cover story, and walked straight into the office of Klaus Barbie — the man history would remember as the Butcher of Lyon — and convinced him to grant her a visit with the condemned man.
She wasn't there to say goodbye.
She was memorizing guard positions. Counting minutes. Mapping the route the prison truck would take.
On October 21, 1943, that truck rolled through the streets of Lyon carrying Raymond and other prisoners toward what should have been the end. Lucie had spent weeks quietly assembling a team of Resistance fighters, planning an ambush with the precision of a military operation. When the truck reached the ambush point, the team struck — fast, coordinated, and without hesitation.
In the chaos of gunfire and confusion, Raymond Aubrac was pulled free.
Lucie — visibly, unmistakably pregnant — had organized every detail of his liberation.
They went into hiding. Weeks later, Lucie gave birth to their daughter in a safe house while German forces searched for them across France. When liberation finally came, the Aubracs didn't merely survive — they rebuilt.
Raymond became a celebrated engineer and entered public life. Lucie became a historian, pouring decades into ensuring that the women of the French Resistance — so often unnamed, so easily forgotten — were written permanently into the record. They raised three children. They traveled the world. They argued and laughed and grew old together.
When journalists asked Lucie, years later, what had compelled her to risk everything that October day, she didn't hesitate.
"He was my husband. What else would I do?"
Lucie Aubrac passed away in 2007 at the age of 94. Raymond — who had once needed a commando team to be freed from a German prison — lived on until 2012, reaching 97 years old. In his final years, he continued speaking publicly about the Resistance, about memory, about the obligation to tell the truth.
They had been married for 64 years.
Not a love story built on grand gestures or perfect circumstances. A love story built in occupied France, in safe houses and forged documents and a prison truck ambush on a Lyon street — forged in fire, and never broken.
True love doesn't wait for rescue. Sometimes, it does the rescuing

Outstanding series!

Each life matters.
"I would like to think that if I was sitting entangled in plastic and a seal came past me and he had the means, that he would help me too."
These words from Naudé will stay with me for a long time.

@RailwaysAfrica @transnamib I look forward to seeing what comes of the process.

@DLFlosi @WesleyLHuff That is one of the reasons I often switch translation for my read-throughs. Every one highlights different aspects in my mind.

@WesleyLHuff A "superfluity of naughtiness" - I do like that! I wish I could find a version of the 1611 KJV on either @OliveTreeBible or @Logos

[Rob 🇳🇦🇬🇧🇿🇦 @RobsFelines]

@WesleyLHuff @MikhailaFuller I did indeed stick around to the end. Thank you. This gift has long been challenging for me to understand (no pun intended). Your explanation makes perfect sense to me, although I suspect others will disagree.

[Rob 🇳🇦🇬🇧🇿🇦 @RobsFelines]

@WesleyLHuff Thank you for providing these details. I knew some before, but certainly not all.
