Goal: Get back to under 200lbs. Get back in shape, so that I have more energy for family, friends, work, etc. Current weight: 235lbs. Let’s go!

What if the real demonic possession, collapse of civilization, and loss of our collective sanity…were the “Like” and “Share” buttons we clicked along the way?

Alan Jacobs: “It’s especially sad to me when I see so many ‘Christian conservatives’ who don’t conserve one single solitary thing and never speak of Christ — indeed show no evidence that they are aware of anything that Christ has commanded of us — and evidently assume that if they hate the right people hard enough the Earthly Paradise will miraculously emerge.

Good things come in threes, right?!? We just found out that Baby Steele #3 is on the way!

I wonder: If Paul had been reliant upon churches for his livelihood, and had not preached free of charge (1 Cor. 9), would he have been free to preach/write as boldly as he did? Did he purchase his freedom by making tents? Can one really preach the gospel without such freedom?

Tried to explain to our 3yo daughter that we should pray for people in Ukraine who didn’t have food or houses because of “mean people.” She then prayed that Jesus would “help the mean people become blind, and not to be mean anymore”!
