13\ In March, after bragging about bombing a "Hamas terrorist with an RPG" & being challenged on this lie, Israel quietly admitted those were 2 starved Gazan civilians one with a bike & the other with a bag of flour.

@LeagueOfLegends Blitz, all the way. Could you imagine the efficiency of snatching that combo meal from the highway?

[Samuel Marks @samuel_e_marks]

@markchironna It’s a stupor for what Howard Thurman called an “upsurge of power” or “energy”. It’s a kind of collective enamoring, it’s set against reality bc the lie seems so promising. Part of what makes this stupidity so dangerous is that it’s very successful and seems righteous

@dumbandfunn “On Love” by Khalil Gibran (devastatingly beautiful poem) and “Love” by Billy Collins.

I have learned, that in this current culture, where "many voices have gone out into the world", that we may not be able to change the beliefs of individuals who hold strong biases or cognitive dissonance.

Yet, our efforts may still have an impact on others who are open to considering different perspectives.

If we can engage in respectful and evidence-based discussions, we can contribute to the broader conversation and help promote a more informed and rational discourse in the public square.

Deception thrives due to gullibility, resulting from a lack of diligence, healthy skepticism, and the application of critical thinking skills. Reputable fact-checking sources exist, and are are known for rigorous fact-checking processes. Paying attention to them matters. Make it a practice. Learn to consult these multiple, reputable fact-checking sources. Cross-reference information to gain a comprehensive understanding on the topics you are convinced are the way you believe you see them. Stop relying on only hearing the voices or voice you prefer to listen to.

@andysquyres Amy be like, “ok but could you bring the dishes from the table now?”

I am not a fan of bringing to my lips a spoonful of chili *thought* to be thoroughly reheated. Still recovering.

I’m probably late to the party but the final two episodes of Ted Lasso had me either cheering, laughing, or crying through their entirety.

Fight me @andysquyres

@andysquyres Bro, you’re just describing what life feels like most days.

@reachjulieroys @TBN @AdventHealthCFL What in the Arabian Nights is that logo anyway?

It’s insane that he can’t see it. Eric here is only participating along in a culture that can’t stop staring at women.

Acceptable occasions to wear yoga pants…

Alone in your house w/ your husband.

Working out alone in your private gym while your husband watches you.

The end.

No public venues. Not social media.

So I pray for you, for me, for that pastor, for those who claim Christianity and those who don’t, that we would wrestle for truth of our lives and find grace and peace all the way down.

[Samuel Marks @samuel_e_marks]

When I was an associate pastor in Chicago-land, the senior pastor used to teach that it was our job (family and staff) to “cover” him, which was a perversion of “honor” intended to shield him from the consequences of his abusive actions (first verbal then physical.)

[Samuel Marks @samuel_e_marks]

It’s only Jesus that can — like with the Samaritan woman at the well— tell us everything we’ve ever done, and we hear it rejoicing. Jesus can wrestle with us in the night for the truth of our story — a truth that has no room for shame, only responsibility.
