I’m a runner who enjoys running with friends and likes the challenge of the marathon and beyond. And I’m in love with God and try to walk closely with him every day.

How much of an immigrant do you need to be? Legal visa? Green card? Natualized citizen? I think free speech should be free speech. No threats of deportation for legal immigrants. The president should not be micromanaging people's opinions and expressions, right?

So this whole deporting of immigrants with opinions different than the sitting president is really a slippery slope. Do we deport Elon when the next democrat is elected? The president dictates what immigrants are allowed to publicly express? Is that what we believe is right?

Got to do a peri-dawn run in Brisbane on Sunday. It has a beautiful waterfront that is very much alive early in the morning and late at night. I hope to go back and spend more time there some day. Even at 6 am there were hundreds of runners.

Carter lived more modestly than any ex-president since Harry Truman.

He and Rosalynn, who were married for more than 77 years, remained until the end in the ranch house they built for themselves in 1961, where they both will be buried next to a shady willow tree. wapo.st/49ZLa55

Died: President Jimmy Carter, Politician, Peanut Farmer, and Christian - Christianity Today A Baptist from Georgia, he challenged categories with his evangelical witness and progressive politics.

"I am a peanut farmer and a Christian. I am a father, and I am a Christian. I am a businessman and a Christian. I am a politician and a Christian. The single most important factor in my own life is Jesus Christ."

What I Learned From Praying With Jimmy Carter “Everything has a way of coming back around,” the former president said. “What seems unstoppable and inevitable never is.”

They should also focus on bad years, since climate variability should increase the frequency of climate shocks.

What is your “why” for running? I have several. First, I have made some of my closest friends through running. Second, I like to take on new challenges and find out what my body can handle; e.g., I ran a 24-hour race earlier this year. Third, running alone, I can think and pray and find peace.

Crop modeling suggests that except for maize, climate change on average has only a slightly negative or even positive effect for the major crops when CO2 fertilization is taken into account. Focus instead on specific locations where the effect is projected to be large and negative.
