Eternal freedom is greater than political or national freedom. Think on this. We will all die one day no matter where we live, who we are, and no matter our politics. Are you eternally free?

These people that find dirt on other people and then post it publicly to humiliate them on social media or other websites, I have one thing to say to them. If they're without sin, then let them cast the 1st stone. My guess is they are not without sin so any attempt to publicly humiliate someone else is at best hypocritical and at worst, childish. Human nature hasn't changed since Jesus' encounter with the woman caught in adultery. I swear he wrote "peeping Tom" in the dirt.

My bedtime routine. Peaceful Gregorian praise.

The politics of this nation. I need popcorn. 🤦‍♀️

A little blurb:

Do you know what one of our root problems is in America? We don't have constructive conversations about sex in safe places with safe, trusted people.

We let Hollywood tell us what sex is. Hollywood is an entertainment industry. They entertain, not educate. We let "entertainment" magazines tell us what sex is. They entertain, and occasionally educate. We let hurt people tell us what sex is. Hurt, unhealed people have been hurt by the very thing they are trying to tell the rest of how to apply. We let fictional books tell us what sex is. The key word here is "fictional." We don't have candid conversations in our homes or churches. We leave it to the govt to have that conversation in our schools. Why? Because we are afraid. What are we afraid of? I can't say other than being uncomfortable and perhaps having to confront our own sin.

Even the Church is afraid to have the real conversations about sex. The Church is good at telling people what they should not to do and reading from a prepared sermon, but heaven forbid we have the hard, honest conversations with real people. I see a few Christian speakers, organizations, and writers trying but mostly we are just scared. And we wonder why our kids are doing what they are doing and why this country is the number one exporter of porn and sex trafficking? It's time to have the hard, uncomfortable conversations. Now or never.

So Mikey the Monkey can stare at me all day with his spiked hair and hands folded. He is ernestly hoping and praying for no more Monkeypox.

I need the levity! 🙊🙉🙈

I took a walk to clear my head tonight. I was looking up at the stars and I was reminded of something that my frustration would not see. The same God who hung the beautiful, diamond-like stars that twinkle without a care each night is the same God who is not surprised by anything on this planet or in this nation. He who hung the stars, holds and cares for me and you.

Check her work out! We have to get back to nuance. This vid is from 2020.

Ya'll, What is a Women doc by Matt Walsh, wow! My heart is sad.

God doesn't save you from responsibility and the consequences of your actions. He is not obligated to do that. He can't be manipulated.

I refuse to rejoice with evil, people's suffering, and pain. Love does not do that.

This is what the Lord says: "Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.....But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin."

Jeremiah 22:3 , 5 NIV

So too can a nation become a ruin.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

Or woman.
