- Regarding the image above. That text was sent to me yesterday morning from a woman I met for the first time later that evening. We did talk a little theology. When asked about one of those gray areas, she replied, “I don’t think anyone is going to Hell for that.” I’m sure it was a flippant remark, but my immediate thought was that people shouldn’t approach things with the fear of punishment or going to Hell; you should or shouldn’t do whatever out of love and respect.
- I bet a lot of folks will assume that when a fighter jet falls off an aircraft carrier, that’s the end of it. Nope, not at all. The U.S. wants to protect its technology, so it will actually retrieve those two fighter jets that fell off the USS Truman. Don’t believe me? Well, back in 2022, the Navy successfully retrieved the F-35C Lightning II aircraft that had crashed in the much deeper South China Sea.
It’s worth noting that the Titanic sits roughly 12,500 feet below the surface. That fighter jet was recovered from a depth of approximately 12,400 feet.

Here’s some background from Gronk:

The image captures the Attari-Wagah border ceremony, a daily military ritual since 1959 where Indian and Pakistani soldiers perform high kicks and rapid maneuvers to lower their flags at dusk, symbolizing both rivalry and brotherhood despite tensions.
-
This ceremony, often called a “dance-off,” takes place at the heavily militarized India-Pakistan border, reflecting decades of conflict, including three wars and a nuclear arms race, yet it persists as a cultural spectacle drawing crowds on both sides.
