🚨PRIDE MONTH🚨
The Texas Rangers are the ONLY MLB team not acknowledging “Pride Month.”
The Rangers are again not hosting an LGBT night event.
Instead, on June 18, they will be hosting a Faith and Family Night.
According to their website, the event will feature “personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, Cody Bradford, Jacob Latz, Jalen Beeks, and others, sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field.”
@lisa_eqz Need different reaction emoji that means read and understood and technology smart enough that if actions are required emojis are not allowed.
The evidence of true faith is not that a man never falls. It is that he no longer walks comfortably in the same old road of sin.
A believer is not known by flawless performance, but by a heart that has been made alive to God. He grieves over sin. He runs to Christ. He desires holiness. He may stumble, but he cannot settle down in rebellion as though Christ has no claim over him.
“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments” (1 John 2:3).
This is where many deceive themselves. They think a past prayer, a religious memory, or a Christian label is enough, while their lives show no repentance, no hunger for righteousness, and no love for the Lord. Scripture does not give comfort to that kind of empty profession.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The true Christian still fights weakness, temptation, and remaining sin, but there is now a war inside him that was not there before. He does not make peace with what nailed his Saviour to the cross.
“For if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (Romans 8:13).
So the question is not, “Am I perfect?” The question is, “Has God changed my heart, turned me toward Christ, and begun a work in me that I could never produce myself?”
“He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).
@MikeNellis Democrats will look at you dead in the eye and say we need to feed kids…
…and then tax you for it, funnel it to NGOs that don’t feed children, and then steal all the money
With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
Dear @JohnCornyn
I did not vote for Ken Paxton because Trump endorsed him.
I voted for Ken Paxton because you joined Joe Biden & Democrats to pass the largest federal gun control bill in 30 years.
Texas gun owners didn't forget.

Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.
THIS 70-SECOND VIDEO CAPTURES WHAT THE DAY IS TRULY ABOUT. 🇺🇸
@Somsadgulia@EricLDaugh Decades in office is a good reason we kick 'em to the curb. Endorsements mean nothing to me. Do your homework and vote accordingly.
@EricLDaugh@FaithfulThomad And the fact that people from Texas said we don't care who you endorse we are NOT voting for Cornyn had nothing to do with it.
FYI - Trump endorsed a X MLB player for Chip Roy's old district. A carpetbagger!! Why? 🤔
@imPenny2x I am on my 6th time through. Chronological readings... makes more sense to me. Like a story.
I also listen to a 10 minute recap with Tara Leigh Cobble. It is called The Bible Recap and is SO GOOD. https://t.co/DsbQ9zWCLG
