Good Saturday thread. But we also need to deal with the issue of taking back control. Because, to put it bluntly, the Government's deal doesn't do that, whatever the PM says.
Citing economic damage from no-deal also doesn't work, because frankly nobody can state accurately what it will be, and if it is less growth than we'd otherwise have had, that might not be noticed. No deal feels like taking back control.
I oppose no deal because it is an unpredictable economic and potentially supply shock and I don't think it is sensible to do that with limited time to prepare and no vision beyond. But then no side has much of a vision.

Another year is here, welcome!

"A fire goeth before him..." Psalms 97:3

Age may come with many things, but certainly not with everything. Kings and old people in the Bible have counsellors; meaning no one is all-knowing. You need God to navigate through life, and, this year!
"A fire goeth before him…" Psalms 97:3 (KJV)

There is only one Person to follow in the journey of life, and that Person is God! He is the Maker of the heavens and the earth, and thus has the layout of both in His palm! Follow Him, but ONLY through JESUS!
"...What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour..." Heb. 2:6-7

Good morning.
The recently released video that went viral where SATIRE was MISinterpreted, used as a tool to AUTHENTICATE that #BuhariDouble or #JubrilFromSudan is a possibility shows you the reality of our respected voices.
Welcome to #SatireCongregation
Since we need to start elementary class afresh on twitter because of our highly educated folks who have become part of #SatireCongregation, we need to get it DEFINED:
What exactly is the English definition of SATIRE that our Professors, Pro-Chancellors, PHD holders did not get?
SATIRE:
/satʌɪə/
noun
the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Helloo, #SatireCongregation,
"to expose and criticize people's STUPIDITY"

Good evening fam, thanks for joining us yet again on this platform.
Happy Sunday to you wherever you are, it's sure getting really exciting as the year is running fast by.
We just want to thank God for His goodness all beyond what obtains around us.
#Audacious
I am tempted to do a session on taking stock of your year but I won't do it, a lot of other platforms will be getting ready to do such and I won't bombard you with any more of that. Our teachings are going to continue, nothing changes in the calendar.
#Audacious
I believe that our year has been good so far, and if it hasn't been the way we would have wanted it, we'll just pray about it and tell it to God 😀✌.

Every Mothers' Day, my ex-girlfriend would always prank text me that she's pregnant and that I should greet her.

Last year, the usual. She texted me the same thing. Only this time, she's actually pregnant. Not with me. But with the guy she cheated on me with for about two years.
She made me happy so it's only fair I talk about her the way I would have years ago. :) Let's call her "K". K was/is beautiful. Not the kind that drew way too much attention when she walks into every room. It was the kind of beauty that revealed itself when you're alone with her.
I guess, I was one of the (un)fortunate ones who caught sight of the universe inside her eyes. I think I've told her everyday how it was my favorite part of her. Her warm brown eyes have always spelled out her thoughts, even before she gathered the courage to say the right words.
