I didn't realize consumer sales of Christian goods equaled more Christ-likeness. Maybe I should buy more...

We need pictures!

No Marvel one. I'll skip this year

(Bonus reply) Maybe this is why women's ministries tend to be so shallow in doctrine, teaching, or training. Not that they don't want anything deeper, but the mental bandwidth isn't there for anything deeper with so much load on their minds.

(2/2) In reality it looks more like the husband doing a lot more sitting or socializing while the wife runs around managing the kids, household, etc.

(1/2) I have definitely seen this played out in marriages. The husband goes to work and does the "man's responsibilities" at home (mowing etc). Wife handles everything else. Sounds good when you put it that simple...

In my experience, when things are looking down the only thing I can do is do the next step. No matter how small it is, it is a step towards progress. I hear your frustration with what is going on and will be praying that it is resolved quickly and your lives will begin to look up!

I've been showing this to my family all day. So fitting for the current situation this Independence Day.

I've been doing this exact thing lately!

I love the cover of X-Men #4. I've got two copies. Great issue.

I have one and love it!
Here is the TLDR: It does not play games on its own. Your WIFI will completely determine your experience. It is great playing anywhere in your house, especially when others want the TV.

I remember a "Christian" relative tell me that "he says just what we are thinking." All I could think was that their internal thoughts must be so ugly and un-Christ-like.

I love James 2:5-7.
You guys, the poor aren't the problem. The rich are the reason you have it so bad!

The real star of the movie is revealed!

I'm interested in learning more about this "mission from God" that is depriving the world of the gift of an Andrew Tate for women!

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie.

Magnificent 14

I liked it. Hated what they did with one character early on. I feel there were missed opportunities for character development for Bob early on, which would have helped us care more deeply for him later in the film. But overall entertaining and it gives Marvel films a direction for the future.

Needed $0.03 more to get free shipping for my order on Amazon. Guess I had to buy your book!

Got those V-bucks ready!

What's the point of going back at this point? I've moved my business elsewhere. Why would I return if they "changed their minds"? They buckled under pressure and will again.

I agree with your assessment. It's fun to play around with, but not a game changer or solid win card.

On Phil 2:5-7a "the New Testament’s encouragement here seems like its (empathy's) purest expression — a way to stop seeing ourselves as the protagonists of everyone else’s experience and, instead, as their servant." Such a great way of expressing the thoughts of these verses!

No, Empathy Is Not a Sin A recent book tries to make the case that empathy is leading Christians astray. What it really reveals is a fear of losing power.

i wrote about empathy, the recent push by some conservative leaders to retcon it into a vice, and what i think they're really afraid of.

Great article! ”To be empathetic is to admit the limitations of your own experience and the fallibility of your own judgment." Very well written.

It also may be these women are looking at the examples in their lives. Do they see wives treated unequally, or wasted talent from missed careers? If they aren't seeing truly happy fulfilled marriages why would they be so ready to jump into one?

I can't wait for this movie! I love most of these characters. Bucky, Red Guardian, etc. I am excited to see how they interpret the Sentry as well!

I work in manufacturing and agree with everything you said. As I talked with people outside the industry over the 20+ years I've been working, unless you have done it you RARELY understand the toll it takes.

Following...

As for personal friendships, those in my experience those that are hard Trumpers were those that I have personally seen with sliding morals. Lies for the results they wanted, cheating the system because everyone does it, veiled racism, outright lying gossip are all things I have seen in their lives

Totally agree. I'm also getting tired of the related argument of, "yes they endorsed Trump, but they do have many good things to say." Clearly they don't have good judgement and we can't trust what they say, so why bother weeding through to "find the good stuff."
