Last week I rescued a cardinal who hit the window, and now’s he’s bringing all his friends. Kindness counts. Even the birds know that. 😇

@JoeDoty9393 @utism_ Here’s the problem I have with that unfiltered statement: what are the weak men doing to stop the foolishness or to make anything better? Playing video games in their parents’ basement till they’re 40? The men to step up. This is basic Genesis 101 here.

@NPC_Sensor @RealCandaceO I love the sentiment here and understand your intentions, but actually worshipping Mary, praying to dead “saints” for dead people, purgatory, confession to priests,…none of it is Biblical. Salvation comes by faith through grace in Christ alone.

It’s hard to lose friends we’ve made here, but I honestly just don’t get what’s causing the panic. We are totally uncensored and have free speech here to say whatever we want, right? We can control our algorithms by engaging with our peeps and blocking anyone we don’t want to.

I’m grateful. This week I got a couple of acceptances for stories that have been homeless for a long time. And a Pushcart nomination was the cherry on top. 😊.

@libsoftiktok I went to high school in rural Virginia, where most of the guys had guns mounted above the back window of their pickup trucks. None of those good ole boys ever fired a single shot. It’s not the guns. It’s the crazies.

@HMMCoach Do you see the female one hidden in the lower branches? She waited for her mate to come home and it broke my heart. I wasn’t sure he would make it. When he flew back to her, I cried like a blubbering fool!.

@VivekRammaswamy @RealCandaceO And Vivek can’t declare “Christ is King” because he worships a false god. Interesting how enters this arena with such confidence though. Yes Christ IS King and I pray Vivek will one day believe that truth himself.

I just saved this birdie.🥰 He hit the window and fell on the deck. One second slower and my dog would have eaten him. I’ve never seen one take so long to recover. I prayed for him. He flew away.

@CarolCLawrence I love all the birds. My feeders are swarming with them all year. But cardinals are extra special. They mate for life, and they always come to the feeder together. That’s what broke my heart so bad about this little guy. His wife just sat there waiting. 😪.

Layers of emotions in this one by @eeswanson9 . What a roller coaster ride. Loved this.

@SabrinaSmolders @OliLondonTV I struggle to push my mother-in-law in her wheelchair, and she’s half that woman’s size. If there’s an incline, forget it, I’m out. I don’t have the strength. It’s hard work, sometimes impossible work.

What a clear-headed whole-hearted fresh perspective⬇️.
While people were losing their minds over last night's election results, my family and I were serving our homeless population with We See You San Diego. 90 volunteers joined us to feed and clothe over 150 guests. When you have NO house what happens in the WHITE house isn't quite.

@EP_AnimalLovers @timecaptales This made my day! This little boy reminds me of my grandson and every little boy that age, who tends to see the world through such innocent eyes. He’s as carefree and kind in his heart as his canine companion. Love this!❤️.
