Can we get everyone to celebrate people like Teyana Taylor celebrates her peers.

Well worth the watch and listen.

Love this person!!!

No surprises if this is accurate.

It is impossible for me to see bobsledding and not immediately start hearing “Jamaica we have a bobsled team” being sung in my head. Cool Runnings forever.

My home has become a “cozy trap” per Google.

I just walked in the door and realized I felt relief but also tired as soon as I walked in. My body and mind went to “home=recliner=do nothing” and I felt myself get lazy immediately.

Now to figure out how to change it.

I am rarely stirred up from sermons these days, but after Pastor Rachael’s message this morning on Micah 6:1-8 I am wondering where are our Bonhoeffers, our Barths, and our Confessing Church? Where are our Corrie Ten Booms?

The embarrassment our country has become is staggering. The fascism that is taking over is disgusting. We are a country losing all love for humanity.

AND IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN THAT SUPPORTS WHAT IS HAPPENING YOU HAVE COMPLETELY MISSED THE GOSPEL.

All while the White House tweets pictures of our president walking with a penguin in Greenland because he wants to take it over.
PENGUINS DO NOT LIVE IN GREENLAND!!!

Our country is in disarray right now. ICE running around killing and creating mayhem. Families destroyed. Politicians using phrases mirroring the Nazi ideology in WW2.

We can share videos, soundbites, and statements on both sides all we want, but until people are actually willing to listen to an opinion not their own what is the point? Many seem to have decided already what they are okay with.

Most people that know me probably know where I stand, but all in all I do not share a lot of political views online. Those that agree with me probably would say I do not share enough. Those that disagree with me probably say I share too much.

The call is coming from inside the house.

"Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!" "I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house." "This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed. "I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied. "I will arrest you!" the officer threatened. "Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned. "I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward." "Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship." "You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?" "Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN

I heard this question on a podcast and liked it

“What could you give a Ted talk on right now with no prep?”

CBS just played Goo Goo Dolls “January Friend” when they cut to commercial during the Jags game. Not only is this a song hardly anyone knows from Dizzy Up The Girl, but it's sung by the bassist, who probably very few know ever takes lead. What a wild choice!

Jags win!!! #gojags #nfl

Everything Advent is ultimately about Love.

Congrats to @nyknicks on NBA Cup champs. #NBACup #NBA

Some things have to be handled asap, and others are not that urgent and can wait. Permit yourself to say what can wait, and then let it.

We are (I am) loved for who we are (I am), and for who we are (I am) becoming.

This is hope.

First Sunday

Advent

Tell people how you feel. We all have no promised tomorrows. Steve Easter of the band Half My Home was a great dude, and great songwriter. Gone too soon.

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

I don’t know why, and I don’t want to make a big hairy deal out it so ICE’s Special Media Prosecutor Division doesn’t notice, but People Magazine has been incredibly straightforward with their Trump headlines when he’s being a weird old asshole.

They’re a quiet Facebook behemoth, so this is good.

If ICE agents can’t operate without masks and no IDs, maybe the problem isn’t California, it’s whatever you’re trying to hide.

📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.

The Don came to play tonight! #lukadoncic #nba #lakers

Safe travels to you!

Can we get some more Hayley Williams-type people please?
