“He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.

Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

(Philippians 2:8-11)

Today is April 17th, and Jesus Christ is still Lord of lords and King of kings.

According to some folks on social media, educated people don't believe in 'fairy tales'

The data says: Someone with a masters degree is just as likely to believe there is life after death as someone who didn't finish high school.

Just finished this wonderful book. A great little read in the wake of the Second Vatican Council and an insightful exposé from a Father of Vatican II.

TC. I was wondering last night, why did Tuberville release his hold on military promotions now and what strategy is behind the 11 exceptions of highest ranking leadership positions just before we go into holiday recess and the start up of the 2024 election cycle? Then, I got to remembering Trump's promise to clean house, get even, and make day 1 of his presidency a day to remember. I don't know a lot about all of the 11 highest ranking nominations/promotions on hold, but why those to remain on …

Well, unfortunately there are a large cohort of senior military who live up to the caricature of the Military Wingnut Dumbass, along the Curt LeMay prototype, so yeah, given the 11 are all the senior operational theater/major command commanders, Tuberville could be holding them open for the election. Not a good sign. But with only 11 the Democrats could break things with individual votes, if they're smart enough to realize it's Important (always a question whether they do).

I believe Schumer has decided to do this.
