@RDennie1 @MerriamWebster I am that girl, but I do not know you.

@menzelmenzel86 @nytimes You misspelled pfft (which is my license plate) and humph.

@jilltowers I actually use that word, but!!! Not good for a word game.

@ThrillaRilla369 Blessed

It was the middle of the night, at about 1.30am, when Norway lost to England. Yet thousands of Norwegians went to the Palace in Oslo and celebrated with one final Viking row. They did not riot. They did not burn cars. They did not smash bus stops or glass windows of shops. They smiled. The laughed. They saw the positive in their performance. They celebrated their heritage. They were proud of who they have been in the past and who they are today. Norway might be out of the World Cup 2026 but they are in our hearts. In the last three weeks, I think we have all fallen a little bit in love with Norwegians.

@StevieJohnson13 I like both, so shouting for all good plays.

“If Jesus was God, why did He cry?” When I was Muslim, I used to smirk at the shortest verse in the Bible. A crying God? Weak. “Jesus wept.” John 11:35. Two words. It should bring you to your knees. Then I actually read WHERE He’s standing. At the tomb of His friend Lazarus. And here’s the part that undoes me: He’s about to raise him. In sixty seconds He’ll shout that dead man back to life. The victory is already loaded. And He weeps ANYWAY. He didn’t have to. The happy ending was already in His hand. But He looked at the grief around Him — the sisters, the mourners, the sheer wreckage that death makes of everything — and He entered it. He let it hit Him. God, with tears running down His face, at the graveside of someone He loved. The God of Islam was too majestic to weep. I was proud of that. Until I met a God who was strong enough to. “We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses.” Hebrews 4:15. Whatever you’re burying right now — He’s not watching from a safe distance. He’s the God who weeps at gravesides. And then empties them. Now you and me get to rejoice forever with our Lord Jesus Christ.

There’s one word I think about when I think about America and that’s blessed. We are so blessed. The land is beautiful. The people are gracious. The opportunities are massive. I cannot even begin to say how thankful I am for my family and friends. This surely is a country that has been blessed by God. And I am grateful for all America has given me. Happy 250th Anniversary to the best place I know.

JK Rowling could have used her platform to encourage millions of children to sterilise themselves, but instead she just helped them to fall in love with reading. What a evil Bigot.😡

@Notwokenow Yes

@peggycarter1776 @unreMARKLEble Why not both?

When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert. Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold. In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4. He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself. Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp. You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets. Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85. You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest. The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain. One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control. And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time. The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24. It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper. Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries. The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it. I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol. Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it. The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.

@AlisonMoyet Happy birthday!

@thurmanthomas No. Not “a Super Bowl.” Super BOWLS.

I find it sad you cannot imagine a good deed that does not announce itself, and so you assume that where you see no announcement, no good has been done. Like a man standing in a dark room insisting there is no furniture, simply because he has not troubled to feel for it. Suppose a man gives away a great sum and carves his name upon the walls of a building. And then suppose another gives quietly, so that not even the recipient knows who did it. Which of the two has performed the purer act? The first has made an exchange: dollars exchanged for glory, He has been paid. He has, as an old Book puts it, received his reward in full. The second has bought nothing for himself at all. He has simply done the thing and walked away. And that… that my friend, is Elon Musk. There’s a quote from Elon that has stuck with me for years, it goes like this: “What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. people who care about looking good while doing evil.” So, my friend… Here you are standing in public and saying Elon Musk is a waste, on no evidence but the absence of self-advertisement… …has perfectly revealed a truth within yourself that you really should sit with for a moment: That you yourself can conceive of no reason to do good except to be admired for it. And that, I am afraid, tells us exactly whose lifetime is in danger of the waste you so freely diagnose in others.

@JenniferSey @RealJessica Don’t point that out… they will change it to “boobs” and “no boobs”.

@kelly1952 @QLoTII And. What seems to be the problem?
