[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

In Georgia I entered a Chick-fil-A drive-thru line of forty cars.

I turned off my engine. I prepared to wait the way my ancestors waited out a siege.

Six minutes later I was holding chicken.

I do not know what happened to the other thirty-nine cars. The line moved like water that had somewhere to be.

A young woman walked between the cars taking orders on a small tablet, on foot, in the sun, smiling like the sun was her idea.

I said thank you.

She said, "My pleasure."

I did not think about it then. I should have.

At the window I thanked the young man for the food.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for the sauce.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for thanking me—

"My pleasure."

I want to be clear about what was happening.

This was a duel.

In Japan I trained in courtesy for forty years. Bowing angles. Seasonal greetings. The correct depth of apology for seventeen distinct situations.

I was a white belt in that drive-thru.

I escalated. I used my most formal English. I thanked him on behalf of my entire family line.

He said, "My pleasure," and gave me extra sauce.

Extra sauce. Unprovoked. A counterattack.

I returned the next day to reclaim my honor.

It was Sunday. The restaurant was closed.

All of them were closed. In the entire country. They close every Sunday, and they have closed every Sunday since the beginning, because the founder made a promise, and the promise did not expire when he did.

I stood in the empty parking lot and understood I had lost twice.

Once to a teenager with sauce.

Once to a man I will never meet, who kept his word so long it became a building.

In my country we say a samurai's word is his life.

I had never seen a restaurant say it back.

I returned Monday. I ordered. And this time I said it first, before she could.

"My pleasure."

She smiled and said, "It sure is."

America, I surrender.

It was my pleasure.

[Atlanta Braves @Braves]

Legend.

[Brandon Gaudin @BrandonGaudin]

Thanks for everything, Snit.

Our crew could not have asked for a kinder, more welcoming leader. He always made us feel like part of the team.

Grateful to have been up close for seasons 47, 48, and 49 as a Brave.

🥂 Cheers to you and Ronnie on this next chapter 🥂

Love this for Charlie👏🏻

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

Over their last 9 games, the @Braves:

haven't lost
haven't committed an error
haven't scored fewer than 5 runs
haven't allowed more than 5 runs

No other team in MLB history has done that over a 9-game span.

AOC called Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric ignorant, while making an ignorant statement.

She also misrepresented what Charlie said about the Civil Rights Act.

We can’t keep doing this - it’s putting people in danger.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Charlie Kirk didn't even believe in race.

Do you think he was offended?

[Basically Biblical @BasicBible1]

Jesus had all authority!

The Braves signed a reliever to a Minor League deal and he’ll be in camp today. If you can’t guess who it is, then I can’t help you.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

The purpose of worship is not to sense God’s presence but to bring glory to God.

That is, you are not failing at worship if you fail to have a sense of God’s presence. You are failing at worship if you fail to glorify God.

If you have a subjective sense of God’s presence it’s wonderful. But it’s also subjective. It’s not the purpose of worship. And it is NOT to be taken as a requirement for believing that God is present as you worship. His presence is guaranteed in the life and worship of every single person who has been born again and is sealed with the Holy Spirit.

If you have found yourself measuring worship by your subjective sense of the felt presence of God, or thinking that this is the purpose of worship, it’s going to cause you a lot of problems.

No fault was found in him. But he was still punished. Luke 23:22

[Basically Biblical @BasicBible1]

So I’ll be honest, I watched this clip and really didn’t get what the issue was.

Then I went to the comments and saw approximately 98% were Calvinist agreeing with the statement.

Now I get it.

Say what you want, I personally know people that have come to God because of watching the chosen, getting curious, and picking up their Bible.

Maybe you should place a little more focus elsewhere?

[Tiffany @tiffanyrw7]

I love Chick-fil-a… but chicken minis are overrated 🙈

[Basically Biblical @BasicBible1]

I used to not understand Romans 1:18-20. Then I read the blind watchmaker my Dawkins in which he says “Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.”

No excuse when you see the evidence for what it is and reject it out of hand

[Lance @SportsGuyLance]

Georgia showed me more in a loss than what I would have seen in a 24 point victory. This team will be ok.

[Basically Biblical @BasicBible1]

The Grace of Christ is a gift that relieves us from the burden of the law. But we must accept that gift in order for it to be applicable.

Paul states in Galatians 5 that if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The implication is the reverse. If you are NOT led by the spirit, then you ARE under the law. And you will be judged accordingly.

We also know that if you break one part of the law you are guilty of breaking it all. I'd say the best thing to do is just accept Jesus, be led by the Spirit, and seek to do the Fathers will
