Saw a reel on Matt Chandler's channel today with a woman saying how encouraging it was when pastors encourage women and give them "permission" to lead.
Just want to say--women, you don't need a man's permission to do what God has called you to do.

Okay, who is the one being selfish here?
So the husband wakes up early in the morning and wakes his wife up for sex, and she's the selfish one if she says she's still tired?
Over the years Iβve struggled to describe the mind of Donald Trump. But, for the moment, I think the best way to think about what passes for his thought-process is to think of a bag of ferrets and scorpions.

In the end, as on January 6, we stand together. Many remained silent. Others, while claiming to support the rule of law, lie about our actions, service, and sacrifices. No matter how much they try, they canβt erase history.

Can't argue with facts. Well, some do, I guess.

So many emotions: shock, denial, fear and anger.
