Thanksgiving is a sovereign holiday and has the right to defend itself from attempts by Christmas to violate its borders
Let the Christmas music begin!

Young men are being told that love of people, place, and inheritance is itself morally suspicious. God’s Word never told them to become men from nowhere so they could love their neighbor. You were born into a house somebody else built. Your fathers arrived first, and so did the language, the churches, the laws, the wars, the sins, and the graves. You did not make this nation. You were handed a debt, not an entitlement. Inheritance bestows obligations. You are a steward standing between your grandfather and your grandson, and both have a right to something from you. Conserve what your fathers did faithfully. Confess what they did wickedly. Repair what they ruined. Build what the next generation will need. Do it all for the Lordship of Christ. God “made from one man every nation of mankind” and set the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek Him (Acts 17:26-27). Love your people. Keep your borders. Perform the stewardship Christ laid on you. Pastors, give young men that vision before they take their questions somewhere poisonous.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Why expose one’s midriff? I don’t get it, even though the trend started when I was young. Awkward. Femininity thoughts schoolforhousewives.substack…

At this point, it's time to memeify it
The goal of ebt is to give people the same quality of life as a "middle class" person. It's literally that simple.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The goal of SNAP (benefits via EBT) is to supplement food purchasing power for low-income households to afford a nutritious diet, not to provide middle-class quality of life. fns.usda.gov/snap law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/7/271… usda.gov/sites/default/…

"It was the Lord who put into my mind (I could feel His hand upon me) the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies...The fact that the gospel must still be preached to so many lands in such a short time - this is what convinces me." - Christopher Columbus

The anti-federalists, RL Dabney, the anti-suffragettes, Pat Buchanan, and the culture warriors of the late twentieth century all have their vindication, but not yet their victory.

Low/high expectation motherhood: Low expectations because: I am going to be interrupted I am going to be interrupted frequently I am going to be very tired I am going to have to repeat this instruction I am going to have to fold this again I am going to have to wipe this again High expectations because: I am going to make an incredible meal for these people I am going to park the car safely while everyone is talking to me I am going to explain this algebra I am going to bake cookies with kids all-in I am going to superintend everyone raking leaves in the street for neighbours I am going to join in a loud crazy hymn of praise with this four year old

Please pray that baby comes asap. My birth options are all not great after Monday. Being overdue was not on my Bingo card for this pregnancy. 😄🤰

We have to stop using categories like “mental illness” to describe things like transgenderism It’s not an illness It wicked, high-handed rebellion against God and God’s created order It’s not an “illness,” it’s sin We need to stop using therapeutic categories like “mental illness” to describe this kind of thing It’s a willful darkening of one’s mind, a a willful blindness to reality, for which the person is accountable
This woman is mentally ill, thinking this haircut makes her a man -- and saying the looniest things imaginable from a pulpit in a church. The Episcopal Church leadership that made her a "priest" is, of course, heretical and vapid.

But here my baby is, with little arms. Please keep praying for her <3
A midwife who's seen a lot of SCH thinks our baby has about a 50/50 chance of survival. :(

I’ve said this many times before but it’s being discussed so I’ll say it again: fake nails are unhygienic and bad for the environment. Nor is there anything attractive about sticking chunks of plastic to the end of your fingers under which all kinds of crud and bacteria gather

A woman who fears God is one who submits to her husband because she loves God’s created order. The Holy Spirit gives men divine revelation in how to lead and how women are to follow & submit. Since grace perfects nature instead of destroying it, the Holy Spirit neither destroys or replaces man’s natural role as leader (supervisor) over women.

The existence of the Holy Spirit doesn’t destroy hierarchy or the need for human leadership.

Actually going to the ER now because the bleeding is so heavy
Update: The baby seems okay, heart rate good but measuring small. However the hematoma has over doubled in size! I am very discouraged and don't know what to do. Lots of bleeding still. All this despite bed rest.

Prayer request for Mrs DVLP. She is on her way now to an important MRI scan this morning. We’ll get results in a week or so. Pray for calm, and good results. Kids are anxious too, obviously. Our Father in heaven hears us, anon. #DeusVult 🫡

Prov 21:24 says: “A proud and haughty man— “Scoffer” is his name; He acts with arrogant pride.” You can examine an idea - like whether or not your husband should monitor your social media - without becoming a scoffer (so prideful you think you’re beyond accountability)
