I cannot go back to the night.
O Truth, O small and unexpected thing,
You have taken so much from me.
How can I bear wisdom's pain?
But I have been shown: and I have seen.

--from "One king's epiphany," by Madeleine L'Engle
I figure some of my #Exvangelical friends might like this quote. fyi @brchastain
(I'm writing a foreword to an upcoming new edition of the book in which this poem appears. The poem is powerful.)

Geez. GenXers really can't get a break, can they?
I think this proves the point that my GenX friends have been making for at least two decades.
Like is there NO ONE in America between ages 37-54????

Everyone should watch HBO's Brexit:
"This is who we are. This is what we've been reduced to."
It explains so, so much. About Brexit, about Trump, about what's going on with pretty much all our institutions -- including religious ones.
"It's about the soul of our country. I worry. I worry we won't be able to heal."

Call them. Insist that this student -- and all of them -- be disciplined. This is a disgrace. And, frankly, evil.
Honestly, if I were his mother, I'd ground him forever. After, of course, I took him to a native community and made him do about a thousand hours of community service.
And publicly apologize to the entire tribe.

The night of January 14th 1966 must have been a regular night. In 1966 it was a Friday night, people going home after a long week from work, kids tucked into bed, mothers chatting with their husbands or their friends. Some men having a drink at the bar.

An Open Letter To Any Minister or Priest Who Teaches that “the Jews Are Israel”
DEAR MINISTER, BIBLE TEACHER, OR CATECHIST:

"I understand you believe that the people we know today as "Jews" are God's "Chosen People," the Israel people of the Bible.
"You, and others, call them "The Chosen Race," "God's Chosen People," "Israel," "The Children of Israel," and other very complimentary names in relation to God.

Thread: Kevin Spacey: The Cabal’s Loose End
#KevinSpacey
1. #KevinSpacey (KS) was an A list actor w/ many leading & supporting roles in Hollywood films & television. I believe he has participated in some very evil acts with many important figures in Washington DC and Hollywood. Kevin Spacey is one of the biggest cabal liabilities ever.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.

So, it's about time I finally did it. Join me as I play Thief: The Dark Project; I've never got further than The Sword before. Thanks to the No Spiders mod from @adurdin I hope to actually finish it this time. #ThiefTDP
I'll be playing Thief Gold. I have multiple copies of The Dark Project but they'd require me to dig through boxes to find. Thief Gold is the only one reliably available online. I am reserving the right to level skip past the Thieves Guild, though. #ThiefTDP
I'll be using the New Dark version, but sticking to a 4:3 aspect ratio. #ThiefTDP
