Evidently, it's not polite to talk about abused wives right now and how churches have failed to shepherd and discipline abusers while #JohnMacArthur is on his death bed. But it's fine for women/children to endure abuse for decades waiting for church leaders to help.

Because of men's/women's "biblical" roles, I stayed in my lane. Now, as a single homeowner, I have learned to snake my basement drain (out of necessity), and I also made two self-wicking 4 x 8 x 32 in. raised garden beds.

Now I'm driving in both lanes. Watch out!

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We should refer to the El Salvador prison as a concentration camp, because it is.

We should refer to the process by which we're disappearing people as kidnapping, because it is.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

You be mindin your business & then BAM! Here come a reformed Christian breaking all their own hermeneutical rules to point to ONE verse in Isaiah (53:10) that literally no NT author quotes in speaking of Jesus to insist that penal substitutionary atonement makes all kinda sense.

EPA Launches Biggest Deregulatory Action in U.S. History | US EPA EPA News Release: EPA Launches Biggest Deregulatory Action in U.S. History

"driving a dagger into the to heart of climate change religion." Wondering WTF? I can explain. This is Christian Reconstructionism & it's fundamental to their theocratic vision. There are only 2 categories of anything: God's, and everything else. Everything is religious

Today, a woman at church reminded me that she'd followed my blog for years. My personal story of spiritual abuse helped her in her own spiritual abuse journey. Telling your personal story may help many who are trying to make sense of what they experienced.
