I predict we’re going to start naming heat waves like we name hurricanes.
I had a friendly conversation with my ex yesterday at church. We talked about many things, and I even asked if she would set me up with somebody. She just laughed and then said something about teachers. I also told her I thought it would be neat if she would use one of the dating apps on my phone to find me a partner. She thought it was a bad idea and she didn’t want to get into my business. Heck, I thought it was a great idea. No one knows me better than her, so I’d like to see what kind of girl she would swipe right for me. But before all that, I said she stated she prays for me, so I asked in what way. After she answered the question, I asked if she could add one more thing, to pray that I can let go.
I was channel surfing yesterday and noticed QVC was pushing Halloween products.

“Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—’turn the other cheek’—[and] to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?'” Moore said.“When the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ’ … The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,” he added. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”Moore went to to say that he did not think it would be possible to “fix” Christianity by “fighting a war for the soul of evangelicalism,” urging his concerned brethren to instead fight “small and local” battles like refusing to go along with the current “church culture.”
