Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

World-class writing
The best stories, ideas, and culture right at your fingertips.
You hit publish, and there’s no reaction.
No likes. No shares. Just silence.
But writing isn't about receiving praise.
It’s about leaving parts of yourself for others to discover.
It may take days.
It may take years.
But keep writing, regardless…
What you consume, you become:
• The books you read.
• The content you watch.
• The people you spend time with.
• The thoughts you feed your mind.
Choose wisely.

I just had someone respond to a post of mine about loving our neighbors by saying, “It’s people like you who distort who our neighbors are! Illegal immigrants are not my neighbors and I’m not called to love them!”
This person had “Christ is king” in their bio and many posts advocating Christianity.
Unfortunately, this is an all too common sentiment these days. It is as untrue as it is callous and dangerous.
As a pastor, let me explain why:
First, every human being is created in God’s image and is t…

The irony of making mercy the central theme of an article advocating for a mother's "right" to mercilessly kill her own child
I’m pro-choice but I disagreed with this piece because SCOTUS sent it back to the states, it did ban abortion.
I had an abortion during college, & it was a traumatic experience. I am older now & was blessed with two children. I can never know what life would have been like if I hadn’t had my abortion.
I don’t need to share my story because it’s hard to even write about it. But I am. I’ve been a Democrat since I first voted, and over the years they went from “safe, legal, rare” to “shout your ab…
I’m sure your pain is sincere and tragic; I am sorry that you carry that with you and I pray you find relief some day.
I agree with the disingenuous nature of much of the pro-choice side. They also have a large share of ridiculous cherry-picked atrocities (like raped 10 year olds) and faked situations (like “women with ectopic pregnancies will be left to die.”). It’s all designed to paint pro-life as evil. Meanwhile they also minimize or deny the fact that a life is killed. That is where the…
Father's interest? I have no doubt that many abortions occur due to the father's lack of interest.
Undoubtedly and unfortunately. I think that is likely the larger portion. But I can imagine that there are some men who might wish to allow their child to live.
No doubt and their interests should be part of the conversation. All I'm saying is that if men were more proactive about supporting progeny, or, if society censured or penalized men who did not support instead of letting them off scot-free, like it does now, the the number of abortions might go down.
As it currently stands, most people on the pro-life side want to punish the woman for promiscuity. But no one ever suggests that any penalty be levied upon the men who are promiscuous and who cause …
100% would love to see men be more responsible and be held to financially support and care for their children. Also support offering vasectomies and tubal ligation to adults (even subsidized).
I am pro-life, a Christian married to a ministry leader for 32 years, with 2 family members who volunteer at prolife centers. I know hundreds of pastors & thousands of Christians. I cannot say what each of these believes, but I assure you, I’ve never heard anyone teach that women ought to be punished if…
You are kind and I like kind people, even when they differ from me politically. Kindness is the only way our world is going to hang together. Goddess speed to you as well!
