SMH and wonder how we r all experts of every subject that we never studied or earned degrees. Instead, a 5 minute read (or skim) has now made us medical experts, legal experts, mental health experts, political experts, financial experts, and a whole assortment of other experts.


If your convictions cannot withstand critique or criticism, then they probably should be questioned.


Cancel culture has turned into elimination culture.


Next time you feel frustrated at the work of transformation that God is doing in you, remember that if he didn't care and love you, he wouldn't waste the effort.


Defeat and surrender always feel the same to me But what does it matter? They both bring me to my knees. @MumfordAndSons


Unless we're Jesus (which none of us is), discipleship should always be a two-way street. If we aren't leading AND learning, we're doing it wrong.


I think we've moved into a "Yeah, but" place in our culture. Everyone has an opinion, and we've all got to voice it. Haters gotta hate, and talkers gotta talk. I think we do far more talking than listening.


When we fail to make ourselves available, we shouldn’t be surprised when others fill the gaps that are left by our complacency or immaturity. Don't wait to be asked, be available and offer that availability.


I am legitimately curious. There is an environmental crisis with global warming. Is there not also a financial crisis in the growing deficit of the US? Are they equally important?


What would happen if we spent as much time scrutinizing the acts of those with whom we agree with as much as those with whom we don't agree? Perhaps we might establish dual and mutual accountability. Now that would be something.


I thought the halftime show was fine. I listen to @kendricklamar and appreciate him. Lots of people out here acting like they're huge fans and they know lots 'cause they read an article or saw a meme. 🤦🏼


Pretty happy I didn't watch the Grammys last night. I feel like the Oscars and Grammys are just self-indulgent echo chambers.


Ever have one of those moments where something just clicks and you get it? Well, that happened today when on social media, I truly saw the definition of gas-lighting played out in front of me. SMH


If these #drones were seen in Texas or some other southern states, they wouldn't last long. Just saying.


News agencies report the top 10 richest people got richer due to the election "because of a surge in US stocks on Wednesday as investors anticipated a low-tax and regulation-light policy platform." Didn't anyone invested in the stock market ALSO get richer?


Only one MLB team has gone up 3-0 in the ALCS to eventually lose in 7 games... Only one MLB team has gone up 5-0 in a World Series game only to lose the game and the series...


Remember George Carlin? Eddie Murphy? Mel Brooks? Comedians used to make fun of anyone and everyone, and people laughed. Now, we get offended at everything.


My 2024 World Series prediction: Down 0-2, the Yankees will take 2 of 3 from LA in NY only to lose Game 6 back in LA.


Failure can be a lousy teacher, because it seduces smart people into thinking their decisions were terrible when sometimes they just reflect the unforgiving realities of risk. @morganhousel
