The hope of the incarnation in the face of cancer.
Friends- This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die. Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence.

This is a helpful thread that gives an insight into your pastor's life. Much of it resonates with my own experience.
Yesterday, I posted about asking your pastor to lunch or coffee, and apparently a lot of folks have strong feelings about such things. I noted that it would be excellent if you'd tell your pastor what you'd like to talk about beforehand - "Pastor, can we get lunch? I'd like to

I suspect future historians will point to this as one of the key moments in the DJT presidency. Plenty to criticize in other places, but this most recent statement is being almost universally condemned, even by his allies.

Another AI caution. I was using my Logos Bible software to do a concordance search. After this, I asked Grok to see what it would answer. And the answer it gave was factually wrong. I then shared the results from my software and it admitted it had made a mistake. Double check.

"...violent crime is overwhelmingly the work of a small group of repeat offenders—that is, it is highly concentrated." Refusing to enforce the law is not just wrong headed, it is wicked.
Tal Fortang in @cityjournal -- Incarceration Works: We can keep chasing root causes while communities suffer. Or we can return to the essential work of protecting civilization from acts that are “destructive to the very possibility of society.”

The FDA now recognizes that the covid vaccines killed healthy children who were in no danger from covid itself. That’s the tip of a gigantic iceberg—bioweapon leaks, science fraud, regulatory capture, a global coup by the “public health” bureaucracy against traditional

A friend told me that the NYT just published a piece criticizing me, fearful I wouldn't recommend a lockdown if another pandemic came along. Not sure why that's a criticism. Lockdowns were the biggest public health disaster in history and it's true I won't ever recommend one!

You can put the savings toward your 50 year mortgage.
New car loan interest deduction created under @POTUS' tax cut: — Lets carbuyers write off up to $10k/year in interest paid on qualifying auto loans — Starts with purchases made in 2025 and runs through 2028 — You won't have to itemize to claim the deduction

Obamacare was broken from the beginning. I saw this firsthand working in healthcare. It was not concerned about making the system better it was about taking control.
Obamacare is broken Double digit premium increases around the country, mostly for reasons unrelated to the Covid subsidies And plans are demanding a Taxpayer Bailout to maintain the status quo of free coverage for many and heavily subsidized for the better off Wrong answer

This is true. Horrible service.
Shame on you @YouTubeTV & @espn People are paying a premium with an expectation for your two multi-billion dollar companies to deliver a service. Absolutely inexcusable that we are unable to watch the #NFL game tonight, because of your corporate greed.

"So you can't afford a 30-year mortgage, but you're going to take out a 50-year mortgage to pay $300 less a month but pay $500,000 more to the bank by the end of the loan?" "That's correct, Dave."

Hey @grok how many times have republicans voted this year to approve a budget that included snap benefits this year? Answer: 13 times. Governor Newsom, we are not dumb and can look up the news ourselves now.
Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby party while SNAP benefits were about to disappear for 42 million Americans. He does not give a damn about you.
