With any hope, when that 12 year old puts together that she could have just as easily been murdered and discarded like gutter trash, she will be a strong anti-abortion advocate.

After they ejected his lawyer, they should've given Fauci one of these to keep him company.

Here’s the reality: there’s a not insignificant chance that this deranged, sexually deviant, and likely demon-possessed individual lashes out in violence, because for years his fantasies have been coddled and now reality is reasserting itself.
A group of military families at Fort Bragg is expressing deep concern about a teacher at their children's school who identifies as a transgender wolf. One mother said her daughter expressed fear, saying, "Mommy, I'm scared he's going to come eat me," referring to statements the teacher made about turning into a wolf at night.
Another child reportedly said, "Mommy, Ms. Roxxie says he was born in a male's body, but he's actually a woman, but he likes boys!"
Liberty Counsel is fighting to have the teacher removed, citing several names the teacher purportedly uses, including "Roxxanne Wildheart," "Kiera Blackheart," "Lilith Deathhowl," "Captain Roxxie," "Artemis Deathhowl," "savagebeastqueen" and many others.

I love this.
Build for today. Plant for tomorrow.
What if we planned 400 years in advance?
Oxford college was founded in the 1300s, and the roof was made of wood. Four hundred years after it was built, the massive oak beams supporting the roof were rotting.
You can see how this would create a problem.
The larger problem, a tree that size and that could support a load that heavy is likely to be quite uncommon. Old growth oak isn't going to be a common natural occurrence on an island with a growing population.
So the college started asking around. They contacted the college forester, which is amazing that the title even existed, and he replied something akin to, "we wondered when you were going to ask."
You see, four hundred years ago when the college was built, they knew that the oak beams would eventually rot, and they also knew that the types of trees needed to support the roof were not likely going to be common.
So they planted an oak grove.
They planted an oak grove to replace the beams, and they left specific instructions that the grove should not be cut, "these trees are for the roof at Oxford."
Four hundred years later.
We struggle to think a year or two into the future. But what if we could plan generations into the future? What if we just tried?
Partly, I think, we don't because we've all been tricked into believing that the world is just going to burn up any day now. It's all going to pot, no point in investing in it or planning that far ahead. No point in leaving an inheritance. No point in building institutions to benefit the next ten generations. No point in architecture to stand four hundred years.
But what if I told you that was a very new mindset? A very new interpretation of history?
What if the moves we made today, the institutions we built and funded today, we did in light of what we anticipated for our great great grandchildren?
I think we'd change the world.
Or at least we'd be giving our great great grandchildren the chance to.

Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape.
Porn has saved more marriages than it has broken up
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Frequent porn use is linked to lower marital satisfaction and higher divorce risk. Heavy/solo use often correlates with reduced intimacy and trust. Effects vary by gender, shared use, and relationship quality.

An amazing story, inspirational for long-term vision, the kind that will outlast us all.
Such an approach is entirely foreign to the way so many institutions tend to think and act today.
Hope has consequences.

Wives, whatever amount of physical affection you have been giving your husband, double it.
Husbands, whatever amount of conversational attention you have been giving your wife, double it.

Not just biblically allowed; biblically *required.*
Love for God and neighbor means you must resist the spread of public idolatry that dishonors the Lord and harms people.
Half the Old Testament was written to rebuke God’s people for allowing and participating in such things.

There has never, in the history of cinema, been a nude scene or sex scene necessary to the plot.
It's just lust.

This is a moment where Trump’s administration needs to hear that we are not OK with this. We cannot be a free or great nation if we are killing our children. God will not bless America if we continue to destroy our smallest citizens who bear His image.

I’m always amazed at the evangelicals (like @gavinortlund here) who overtly advocate for *selective* imitation of the character and speech of Christ, the prophets, and the apostles.
“Imitate Christ’s gentleness, but not his serrated edge. Imitate Ezekiel’s zeal, but not his rhetoric.”
It strikes me as a subtle attempt to be holier than God.
