I just lost a foot race to my nearly 17 year old daughter. My conclusion: She must be ready for the Olympics.

I prefer not “Christian” X… I don’t know how to fix it, so I just peek in every once in a while.

When Elon Musk was asked, “Why was [Charlie Kirk] killed?” Musk replied, “He was killed because his words made a difference. Because he was showing people the light, and he was killed by the dark.”

1 Peter 4:12-16 Suffering as a Christian [12] Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. [13] But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. [14] If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. [15] But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. [16] Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.

Abortion is child sacrifice at the altar of the world’s greatest idol, self. Psalm 106:36-38 [36] They served their idols, which became a snare to them. [37] They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; [38] they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

"A Christian brings a truth from God's word to someone else, praying that God would make that word bear fruit through the inward working of His Spirit. That's vine work. Everything else is trellis." (Trellis and the Vine, 39)
