For those who are hoping these earthquakes x upcoming eclipse bring to fruition some sort of magical Exodus/Jonah/Revelation fulfillment...
Nope. But, bless your heart. For 2000 years, people have tried (and failed) to predict the end times. Go ahead and love your neighbor.
Ohhh..?? I wonder why this got 0 tweets..oh wait, because the way the LSU women are viewed is so shallow and so ignorant that literally ANYTHING to deem them as "less than" will generate clicks
when i interviewed Angel at LSU a year ago after winning the nat’l title — she spoke to me about these very things. i gave her her flowers on being so strong beyond her years, but it was also (& still is) clear she’s very much still just a young woman trying to figure it all out
If our Christianity is somehow offended by the idea of everyone having food, shelter, drinkable water, and healthcare, not only does this paint a deeply uncaring picture of our faith, but it also reveals that capitalism informs our beliefs more than the gospel of Jesus.
A spokesperson for the Department of Defense has clapped back at right-wing conspiracy theorists who claim the government is working with Taylor Swift to ensure the win of President Joe Biden this November. https://t.co/I9rau6z0Lg
@AshNicoleMoss This important context is always helpful. Granted, he can opt out for whatever reason he wants, but this also gives us a chance to celebrate the upcoming new season of life (fatherhood) Dak is entering!
Sobered by last night and trying to practice what people call radical acceptance, not of a presidential candidate because surprising things happen. Just plainly sobered by the thought that, with other individuals to choose from, masses of people still hail Trump. He’s what they actually want in a leader. A bully. A verbally abusive, artfully and purposely divisive bully who has all but left the Republican Party unrecognizable. I don’t know. I just can’t understand it. Maybe I’ve got a mental block. But, you who are staunch Republicans, why don’t you care about your own party more than that?
Forgive me. I don’t want to be a repeat performance of my 2016 self. I don’t. I didn’t like her anymore than you did. I intend to deal differently with this. I do not intend to get obsessed. I do not intend to lose more relationships. I don’t intend to talk about this regularly.
As the Scriptures say, I want to seek peace and pursue it. I want to be a person of kindness, love and compassion.
But I’ve got to move to a place of radical acceptance. It was one thing to cast a vote for a party’s only candidate, reasoning the choice as the lesser of two evils. This is quite another thing. This is wide-open-eyed, “we WANT Trump!”
Anyway, this is where we are. We can complain all we want about our leaders but, in this government by the people, at the end of the day and the beginning of November, our candidates are mirrors of ourselves.
Dear politicians/political influencers:
When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.
Don’t just quote him.
Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.
Heavy lake effect snow bands with gusty winds will occur east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario Saturday through Sunday night. The snow bands will oscillate north to south, impacting the Buffalo and Watertown Metros. Travel will be difficult to near impossible within snow bands.
As we prepare for MLK weekend, we should remember that although we 1000% condemn the ignorant, racist actions of this shooter - Dr. King was strongly opposed to the death penalty. So, that's a unique tension we need to deal with.
