There is a different version of the Christian faith, one that is far removed from the political headlines.
This faith loves its enemies. It mends the broken heart. And it declares, by word and deed, that no one is too lost to experience the love of God. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/o...

Opinion | A Resurrection Faith Needs a Resurrection Church
As anger and fear dominate the public square, a church that follows a resurrected savior should be a balm, not a blowtorch.

This is one of the most shameful things I've seen in my life. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people are fighting for their lives, and MAGA is all up in its feelings because no one is allowed to disrespect Trump. He can be grotesque, but everyone else has to genuflect. Pathetic.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

One of my earliest hockey memories is Mike Lange's call on Darius Kasparaitis's Game 7 overtime goal in 2001. That game - and his voice - are what sparked my earliest interest in hockey.
Pittsburgh, and the world, lost a great one tonight. Rest easy, Mike Lange. You'll be sorely missed.

The Penguins have acquired the Rangers’ 2025 first-round pick (conditional), forward Danton Heinen, defenseman Vincent Desharnais, and 2024 third-round pick Melvin Fernstrom from the Canucks for defenseman Marcus Pettersson and forward Drew O’Connor.

FWIW, I’ll tell you when there’s going to be a “fire sale” in Pittsburgh.
Not some dude who doesn’t cover the club.
Also, buddy … it’s a hard cap NHL and Penguins have players with fill or limited NMCs and/or unsavory contracts.
Complete farce. Shouldn’t even have caused a stir.

Donald Trump believes it’s okay to assault police officers in an attempt to overthrow American democracy, as long as it’s done in his honor.
So much for the party of law and order.

There's a lot of talk about the job #LetsGoPens GM Kyle Dubas has done in Pittsburgh and whether or not a plan is in place.
Not only is a plan in place, but Dubas is also giving this team a real shot in the near future.

The Steelers have been stuck in football purgatory. Unable to bottom out, unable to make meaningful playoff inroads.
Pittsburgh must ponder significant changes at all levels, writes @mikedefabo.bsky.social, from the coaching staff to roster construction and more.

Wonderful day connecting with a dear friend for an @pittsburghpenguins.bsky.social game. Sorry outcome with 0-5 loss to the Sens but always love the atmosphere in the ‘burgh. Hoping for better against the Lightening tomorrow.

Sad to see the @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social season end. Put up a better fight in the second half but the outcome wasn’t really in doubt.
Steelers fans, look away 😬
Pittsburgh's playoff woes continue with six appearances in eight years without a win.
