@lukedsimmons I’m an EA and have been for ten years. I work virtually and a face to face weekly meeting is vital.

Cartoons used to be extremely slow.

Little Bear is one among other greats like Berenstain Bears and Franklin.

Believe it or not, these were expertly designed to soothe young minds. And you can still watch these today!

My kids have seen these and more. 99% of modern cartoons are brain rot.

What’s extra cool about these shows is that there’s zero woke ideology and the morals taught and encouraged are rooted in the Bible.

So, the next time your kids ask to watch Cocomelon, reply with “The answer is no but I found you something better.”

Amazon Prime has all these shows. You gave no excuse.

@AppWireless your mobile network is not working. You might want to post something on social media explaining why.

[Voices of WW2 @VoicesofWW2]

On the night of June 5, 1944, Eisenhower stood on a tarmac in England and watched 13,000 paratroopers board their planes.

He already knew what Air Marshal Leigh-Mallory had told him in private: up to half of them might not survive the night. 6,500 men. Dead before a single soldier touched the beach. Eisenhower had approved the mission anyway, called the decision "soul-wracking," and said nothing to the men.

Instead he drove out and visited them.

He chatted. Laughed. Asked where they were from. Shook hands. Cracked jokes. Not one of them knew their general had just signed what might be their death warrant.

When the last plane disappeared into the dark sky, his driver Kay Summersby looked over at him.

There were tears running down his face.

He drove back to Telegraph Cottage in silence. Then he sat down, picked up a pencil, and wrote a note he prayed no one would ever read.

"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

Look at what he edited.

He had first written "This particular operation." He crossed it out and replaced it with "My decision to attack." Then he pressed the pencil down hard and drew a long, firm line under the words "mine alone."

He misdated it July 5 instead of June 5.

He was so consumed with dread he had forgotten what month it was.

He folded the note and put it in his wallet. He carried it there as 156,000 men stormed the beaches of Normandy. When word came back that the beachhead had held, he took it out, crumpled it, and threw it in the trash.

An aide quietly pulled it out and saved it.

That note is now behind glass at the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas. You can still see where the pencil pressed hardest.

Right under the words "mine alone."

82 years ago tonight.

Most days now, I sit and marvel that for most of my life I simply assumed that people in leadership, particularly in the church, were by definition people of integrity, competence, consistency, and moral clarity.

I no longer assume.

I rarely weigh into the women in ministry conversation anymore, but I have to say:

As I watch people come up with rule after rule after rule about what women can or cannot do, it’s not hard to understand how the Pharisees totally lost the plot.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I’ve never pastored a church. Couldn’t pay me a jillion dollars to. Never been ordained. Have no desire to. The only paid staff position I’ve ever held in a church was as an aerobics teacher in our church gym. But how in heaven’s name a woman discussing a sermon on a podcast could be objectionable to some is beyond me and what I believe to be beyond scripture. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, good. Stay sane. If you do, I’ve lived a long time and this has been my observation:

Extremism, whether in conservatism or liberalism, whether in politics or religion, is never satisfied. It will always inch a little bit further. It’s a constant test of the purists.

[Tammy Potter @trpotter71]

@TempurPedic I wish I could tell you how asinine I think it is that I spent $5k on a mattress that I have to sleep miserably on until I “break it in”. I guess that means I’ll just go without sleep for 90 days. Ridiculous.

That one can excuse or ignore this while claiming to be “pro-life” is a sign of a seared conscience. God have mercy on us all.

@TeamYouTube Thank you. Is there a number I can call or a chat? I don't want to ask in Community. I want to speak with a live person via phone or email or chat

[Tammy Potter @trpotter71]

@TeamYouTube I am trying to get in contact with someone about me account. I have a payment to collect but your Ads section says there is an issue with my tax documents. Is there’s phone number to call?
