The magical atmosphere of snow at night.
It’s always the right time to play in the snow.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Silence can help us most to recognize the voice of God, since it fosters attention and recollection. Freed from the noise of a thousand voices, we come to recognize that some voices deceive our desires, others buy us without nourishing us, and still others speak out of self-interest. In silence, we understand that ideologies pass away, while truth remains. https://t.co/lbaMqHx1cJ

When seeking the truth, you will find it.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I would argue & say we had the same prophets as Christians.

But this one broke me:

Surah 17:101: Allah gave Moses 9 clear signs.

I knew the list. The staff. The shining hand. The drought. The flood. The locusts. The lice. The frogs. The blood.

I held onto those 9 signs like proof I had the real story.

But bro, you know what shook me?

There’s a night missing.

After all nine signs, right before Israel walks out of Egypt, something happens that the Quran goes completely silent on.

A lamb is slaughtered.

Its blood painted on the doorposts.

And death passes over every house covered by that blood.

The Passover.

I grew up hearing the whole Exodus story. But nobody ever told me about the blood on the door.

Islam just skips it.

And here’s what wrecked me.

The Bible, the book I was taught was corrupted, mentions the Passover over 70 times.

Exodus. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. The Psalms. The Prophets. The Gospels. Paul.

70 times.

So I had to ask myself the honest question:

If men corrupted this book, why would they obsess over the same story for 1500 years? Across dozens of authors who never met?

You don’t forge a document 70 times.

That’s just not corruption.

That to me is preservation.

And then I read the line that finished me off.

1 Corinthians 5:7.

“Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.”

That’s when it hit me.

The whole story was never just about Moses.

It was always pointing to a King.

The final lamb. Whose blood, when applied to your life, makes death pass over you.

Forever.

The Quran gave me 9 signs but hid the one night that explains why any of them happened.

Because the moment a Muslim understands the Passover…

he’s one step away from the cross.

@Watchman_motto An observation that many don't even notice, since bland or blank structure for the back and sides of a home is now "normal".

We talk about Millenial gray and how we’ve lost so much color in interior design but we don’t talk enough about the loss of TEXTURE

[SB 🇻🇦 @sssblev]

It can’t not be shared. :D

[SB 🇻🇦 @sssblev]

@realMaalouf This happened where I live 10 years ago. Thankfully, after a few months of silenced bells, we were able to legally work around it and restore the ringing of church bells. https://t.co/3F87s720es

Friends, it was an honor to attend Rededicate250 in Washington, DC. There, I had the great privilege of sharing a few words about our nation’s founding principles and dedicating our country once more to God.

You’ll find my reflection on the event—and my closing prayer—here.

I know he talks a lot, but I do enjoy his perspective. Russell Brand.

@RepAndyHarrisMD Agreed. I see it more and more. Please help stop the solar panel occupy movement in Maryland.

@BishopBarron I've been looking forward to this documentary. Finding out it will be in theaters is even better! Thank you.

@Watchman_motto I have these exact beautiful, original Anderson wood windows. I’ll never paint or replace them. These also have the storm windows. Air is the best natural insulator. The older windows are better. So long as you keep them maintained.

@Watchman_motto @blaketiggy I am new to your account and think it’s great. Keep positing into the void. I love the Craftsman and other architecture, design and the gardens.
