"When the truth is distorted to justify evil, that’s heresy. It allows people to feel righteous about doing something that is wrong..."

A good read for anybody, although it won't appeal to those with itching ears and hardened hearts who fail to understand that #empathy is essential to Christian orthopraxy, and that dissing empathy is nothing short of #heresy.

A fascinating look at how Ole Miss and LSU became the linchpin at the center of a multi-team coaching carousel... all in a span of 72 hours. #NCAAFB #SEC #OleMiss #LSU #Arkansas #Gators

Lane Kiffin started the fire, but it spread quickly when a different coach cooled on another SEC program's pursuit.

NO ONE could coach this #SacramentoKings team to greatness as assembled. Give us a team of Perry-picked rooks and Doug is the man for the job of building them into a team we all want to see. Contract math takes time. Adversity is the opportunity for Faith that you'll someday be bragging about.

I would like to see the #SacramentoKings run as a non-profit... no hedging on progress over fears of the financial hit, just focused on directing every asset towards the strategic plan and mission readiness.

Why not?

My view on the Kings’ Russell Westbrook addition, their mishmash roster that’s in flux, a new coach with a daunting challenge, and the Clippers - amid all their controversy - offering a reminder of how dangerous they might be, at @theathletic.com

Adding Russell Westbrook to a mismatched Sacramento Kings’ squad? Why not?
The Sacramento Kings are a confusing mashup of expensive contracts and ball-dominant players. But they will be entertaining to watch.

If we can lift our voices and not our fists, political tension can help us find workable paths and grow forward as a nation. When we deny each other's humanity we all lose. 🇺🇸

The animosity has remained & evolved long after the #CivilWar era skirmishes. As a #Missourian I'm ashamed my state's side of those conflicts was pro-slavery. Still, no other victories are nearly as sweet as beating a Jayhawks team. Thankful the fighting is done through sports these days... #MIZ

...the pressure that might prompt either side to change its stance doesn’t actually start rising until mid-September. With the qualifying offer deadline set for Oct. 1, and with training camp starting right before then, that’s when everyone will finally start to get truly antsy here. #SacKings #NBA
