Our church is currently going through Judges. As we talk about the cycle of the Israelite people during that time of following God, turning from God, losing their blessing, and crying back to God for help and Him saving them is eerily similar to America today. Lord come quickly

Dear Diary,
There are two days left in deer season and I don't want to use any more sick time. This must be how Gideon felt threshing wheat in the wine press.

Well, Oregon. At this point, we are doing it to ourselves.
Please explain to me how a governor with 20% approval rating can lock in 52% of the vote.
a) Oregonians are dumb as shit with no sense of self preservation
b) This is RIGGED AF
All they have to do is toss out enough of the late arriving based ballots to keep their Kotek. But I'm praying the late returns pull Drazan through.

Finally went and gathered up my trail cam from last year. It was up there a lot longer than I was anticipating due to tearing my Achilles so it felt great to be able to hike back up there again.
I finally got around to going out hunting this last week and of course, nothing is moving around and it's still so dry

It's this simple and obvious
On "VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS"
If godly people refuse to vote for the LESSER of 2 evils, godless people will vote to ensure you, your children, and your grandchildren get the GREATER of 2 evils.
NEWSFLASH: You will be voting for a "lesser of two evils" until Jesus returns.
Wise Christians can differentiate between a FALLEN candidate and an EVIL candidate.
FALLEN CANDIDATE: Has personal sin in his / her life.
EVIL CANDIDATE: Leads entire communities, states, and nations to sin.

Could be me.
I don't know if it is or not because I didn't bother to click through to see what this was in reference to.
"mental health"
No, we have a spiritual crisis that leads to mental health crisis.
We need a revival and a return to Jesus. Everything short of that will lead to more and more of this.
Bend Oregon shooter was armed with a shotgun.
So the AR-15 weirdos need to sit down.
A lunatic will use anything to harm people.
A few hours later a lunatic in Portland Oregon started stabbing people at random.
We have a mental health crisis and lunatics are not being locked up in Oregon to protect its citizens.
This falls under lack of facilities to get these people help and off the streets.

This is the ghoulish behavior of Oregon politicians.
My heart is with the victims of today’s shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School and their loved ones now facing the consequences of another school shooting in America. Once again we must ask how many schools must be shot up before Republicans agree to act to curb gun violence.

There's a local woman who is trying to make a farm stand work...but she is on fb constantly complaining and always saying she might have to close due to finances. I feel her pain, but I find the approach very annoying
Plus, she just butchered her pigs at 44 lbs and I can't even
Hero.
Praying for him, and all the families involved. Horrific.
JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco.
Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots.
After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school.
He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom.
Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face.
The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital.
Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11.
According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children.
You are a hero, Kalub.
This is correct.
I played basketball and baseball in college. I wanted my kids to learn the lessons that youth sports is supposed to teach, the ones I learned with hand me down gloves and scavenged baseballs and the cheapest rubber basketballs you could find.
I resented being guilted into $300 bats and $1200 sportsball weekends so I didn’t do it. The stupid comments, “don’t you want your kid to get a scholarship?” Etc…
I was like, not really, maybe if they like it. I just want them to have fun, feel part of a team, experience winning and losing, doing their best and coming up short, getting a good bounce or a bad hop, etc and be better human beings.
I played youth sports, mostly baseball, my dad’s sport—he was great! I started playing basketball in a youth league when I was 12. I played 1 year of JV basketball in HS and then I walked on at a small college and became a starter. I didn’t know how to do a 3-man weave. I loved the game, and I hustled, sure. But I had a pure jump shot and a 36 inch vertical.
The talent was the only way I got that opportunity. Would never happen today. These kids get thrown into a sorting mechanism and the talented kids get more coaching, more floor time, better competition. The other kids get their parents to pay for a dream that will never come true.
Look what they took from us.
