My last born and only son off to his senior prom with a good friend from church. They’re both graduating this year and headed to college. God has been so gracious to us in giving us this son. Proud of the man he’s become.

Why write to the White House, though? Surely we don’t expect an honest answer. If this isn’t just some performative stunt, demand congressional inquiry and start holding people accountable.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA):

"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

OK, found my thread on this film to mark this day, 85 years ago.
I'm low key obsessed with the Danish movie, 9 April about the German invasion in 1940. The resistance only lasted a few hours and the Danish defeat inevitable. But it shows the heroism of one bicycle (!) platoon, doing their duty until their King surrendered. #hatm

All Christ’s churches need a way to ensure all God’s daughters flourish. One church uses shepherdesses to round out their ministry of the word and care.

Sen. Cory Booker spoke for more than 24 hours. That’s my new standard for a long sermon! 🤣🤣

The devil really does destroy people.

He uses the pleasures of sin to do it.

But he uses religion to do it as well.

Hyper-progressive, lukewarm moderate, and hyper-conservative varieties may be as serviceable to his subtle schemes as the other.

Be ever returning to God.

It’s not just Pete Hegseth who should resign. *Everyone* on that group chat should resign. Each of them showed a tremendous lack of everything by participating in that chat. We knew they were not qualified, and they prove us right at every turn.

Anybody watched “Adolescence” on Netflix? Tragic art imitating life British drama. Man, the poison so-called masculinity blogs and influencers have done on young people is frightening.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Some good news. I pray more is to come.
Some federal workers are going back to work.

The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.

Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.

The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

If an introvert tells you:

you just received the highest imaginable compliment 🤣🤣

Psalm 55:20-21

[20] My companion stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
[21] His speech was smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords.

I read that men mature 11 yrs later than women. The average male matures at 43, compared to women at 32.

I don’t know who researches these things, but I’m flabbergasted. Both at the age of male maturity (43!) and the size of the gap (11 years!).

Guess we still raising girls and babying boys, huh?

When the books are written about the decline and fall of the American empire, there will be multiple chapters on the role of Evangelical Christianity in its destruction.

How are Musk’s legal? How can a foreign-born citizen, who is not eligible to be president, wield the power of the presidency at all, much less as autocratically as Musk? And how is no one making any noise about this??
NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it.

He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
