What I mean when I say I am praying for someone else is just that I have been telling God about the intense concern I have about them and the love, and letting that love feel connected to God and other people's love for them

An enduring, defining memory I have of my Gram is her pulling a perfectly ripe red tomato off the vine in her garden as she was working in it, biting into it like an apple, her face turned up to the sun in pure gratitude and joy, red juice dripping off of her chin.

Such a heartbreaking thing to hear about, as a parent of my own two adult kids who came out, the 1st about 8y ago, then 2y later the other. The amount of fear and pain she must be in right now, wow.
@macduckworth
Thank you for speaking up. My son was bullied by some boys abt being gay&being autistic in HS. The worst was that he trusted one of those guys as a friend&another Christian. I know the destruction he lived with, so Im giving you a Fierce Mom Hug. Im so angry for how they hurt you

Not even the point. She isn't saying that they are the first or that Harry Potter books are real, she is saying how much the books have inspired these and so many other young people to make change in our world, my young adult kids included. A book doesn't have to be centuries old

My 23 yo son, several throws&pillows, his switch, headphones&laptop. You're welcome. He comes w accessories, but not ever a belt. I think he's allergic to wearing one. No returns or exchanges. His volume control&power button weren't installed properly when we got him, so as is.
@RevDaniel
I use the word gay instead of lesbian when it comes up about my daughter bc that is the word she uses herself. For me it's a easy form of respect, like a person's pronouns or just pronouncing their names the way they prefer. Simple easy courtesy! Grouchy Old Broad Alert😡
@AmyWiggs
Just to encourage you, I had to do that,my son was the same age. Now he's 25. He still struggles w his depression&anxiety, but he's doing better than even 6y ago when he graduated hs. He volunteers for NAMI, a mental health advocacy grp, & in college now. But it was hard as H💔
@LEBassett
My Dad died right before tfg took office, and honestly, I know the stress of seeing that destruction of our country, that he fought for and helped to literally build, would've been too painful for him to see.

Is your oldest okay after that? That must have been very hard to see. No, your family certainly doesn't need to see it, of course not. 💔💔💔💔

Um, if China is investing in Hunter's business is "concerning" to Jr, he must be horrified by their investments in his sister and her patents there, right?

That's really horrifying, and I'm grateful for your wife and her dedication and bravery, especially with having a beloved sister in law and 2 nieces there in TN who will be teens way before we know it. I'm worried about my other sister in law and niece in SC too.

No. Never be quiet. We all need you to continue to speak your truth, and your mind. I for one value your opinion and your wisdom. And I also value your work at the hospital. Both my mother inlaws, a beloved aunt & a cousin were/are nurses. Hospital work is important for everyone
@prestonmaxallen
I said something similar to a evangelical dimwit attacking my friend on FB last year. I told her I have 6 autoimmune diseases, and I certainly take meds and will be having surgery for things my body has wrong, how is fixing this way of a person's body going wrong any different?

Nope. It's just not possible, seriously. People who are lbgtqia and love Jesus deserve honesty, and if you choose not to be supportive of their faith, they should understand that. They have been hurt enough, especially by the church, honestly.

do you really want this kind of publicity? You do realize that the disability community is huge and very interconnected, right? You must make this right. And you have to do it immediately. Not sure this is the optics you want guys.
No, Sidney Powell, hon, listen. You actually are toxic. You did this to yourself. You chose to be one of the traitors. People don't like their government getting taken out by thugs plotting a coup. Consequences. Rats.
Sidney Powell says she has been persecuted for representing Trump: “The lawfare has just been atrocious. Over 19 people filed grievances against me with the TX Bar. They want to make us toxic in our communities, destroy our reputations, and our ability to make a livelihood.”

It is her truth because it is her wisdom coming from her work and experience. Just like anyone else's wisdom they have learned from their lives and experience. And also, that people are dying from guns is truth. There are also drunk driving accidents and the laws about it do help
I'm going to just be honest this morning. I'm devastated 💔. My Baby Brother, Fred, 49, died suddenly last night. He had copd already and heart issues, and he smoked. But yesterday he developed pneumonia and then went in to tachycardia and might have had a stroke My daughter (1)
As always

It's their job as elected officials in OUR country to point out OUR country's issues, talk about them, and work towards solutions to fix them, which is exactly what they're doing. Criticism of OUR country is OUR responsibility in this democracy. As congresswomen it's essential.

When you had a miscarriage these bans weren't in place, and doctors were able to do a d&c without being arrested worse for doing it. When I had a miscarriage in 1990 it was the same. Now in Texas there is confusion and fear about providing ob/gyn care after a pregnancy goes wrong

You want to erase my two kids? Nice. They both have more of Jesus's love&grace in their left pinky toe than you do, hon. They're also Christians. No, being lbgtqia ISN'T A SIN, either. What a disgusting, evil thing to say. You have to repent your hate bud. You are hurting peo.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Yes. They are all meds for anxiety, serious depression, bipolar disorder for reducing the worst of the manic cycles, possible schizophrenia, and reducing suicide ideation. These are not safe things either to just stop taking, and it's very dangerous to be telling random people on

Not all women want or need a husband (or wife or spouse), let alone children. Some people are independent and fulfilled loving the purpose God has for them, and loving their family, bio or chosen family. Your experience isn't truth for everyone.

I agree, being married for 32y, dating him for 3y before that, but those conversations can be very hard work. We both find that discussing our own needs to be awkward, we're both neurodivrse, even though we feel implicitly safe w each other, we often have trouble expressing them
