Yep. Totally agree. That’s what I meant.

Jeffrey Epstein and the Myth of the Culture Wars - Christianity Today Some leaders of different political stripes teach us to hate each other, but they’re playing for the same team.

The Epstein files reveal many things- but one is that dark and cynical people have an interest in keeping us divided and distracted while they prey on the innocent and plunder the vulnerable.

Theology 101: To me, the existence of the cocoa bean and coffee bean in the same world—along with creatures like us with the wisdom and creativity to enjoy both—is evidence enough for the existence of a wise, powerful, benevolent God.

I live in Indonesia. My two countries presidents are a lot alike, so they get along because imho they understand each other. 1 billion is huge for Indonesia, where the economy is struggling, and in my corner of the country education and health are massive issues.

So wild to be watching the old show What’s in the Bible (made by Phil Vischer) with my kids and hear jokes about Donald Trump as the Apprentice host. If only he was a laughing matter worthy of a kids show these days.

Loved this book. Bring on all the anabaptist theology!

If you want the trauma survivor to understand that God is a refuge, then be one.

I actually for real burst out laughing at that headline. So surreal.

Can we get a stat on percentage of detainees and deportees that are Christians?

Irony. The only illegal immigrant I know in Minneapolis is white.

Is there any research on what percentage of deported folks are Caucasian?

The complaint that his family is rich and famous and all about building the brand, well, yes, but his wife’s family is also rich. And she and Brooklyn have been actively curating their own fame and brand. So that also falls a bit flat.

The complaints here may look like they are coming from Brooklyn, but I guarantee he’s not the one who got mad about the wedding dress or dance with his mom. Most of this looks like the resentments of a young and sensitive bride, and Brooklyn has had to take her side to maintain a good marriage.

Strangest list of invitees to this Board of Peace. Vietnam, Pakistan, Paraguay, Argentina?

Psalm 146 opened my day of prayer last week and made me smile. Unsourced it would probably be accused of coming from a modern woke pastor. The word of the Lord, thanks be to God.

Dude posted on his socials that he was, “Just literally lynched by an anti white mob.” I felt sorry for him until I read that he stormed the capitol on Jan 6 and beat a police man with a bat and shield. Pardoned by Trump, never regretful.
Well. Hard to be sympathetic. Mobs ARE rough, aren’t they🙄

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.

He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.

(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Opinion | Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Unhappiness

We Americans like to boast that "we're No. 1." But a careful new study suggests that in quality of life, we rank No. 32. And we're slipping. This study should be a wake-up call. Here's my piece, and I welcome your comments: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/o...

We are watching the Jim Carey Christmas Carol, which in my opinion is underrated. It’s intense but super faithful to the original story and full of the symbolism Dickens puts in it.

Dickens sees the spirit that is light and reveals and says, “Are you the spirit whose coming was foretold?”

“I am”

First photo - Kristi Noem, 2025. 2nd photo - DC Stevenson (KKK Grand Dragon), 1923. Third photo - Donald Trump - 2025.

The rhetoric and sentiments are increasingly the same.

It’s terrible. I wonder how this era will be written about one day in the history books.

Oh I thought he was because he went to Southern and is involved in the SBC. Glad he’s not a pastor, but southern baptists have elevated him as if he is one!
