I Found Out…
“In 2024 I found out how many people would celebrate murdering a president. In 2025 I found out how many people would celebrate murdering me.” When I read my Bible, I found out why. “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.”John 15:18 ESV
Charlie Kirk on Empathy
Do Charlie Kirk’s opinions on empathy excuse not having any compassion towards him, his family, or his supports? Does it make us bad people for saying that Charlie Kirk was a good man? Claim: “Charlie Kirk said ‘I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up new age term that doesContinue reading “Charlie Kirk on Empathy”

Teaching Daniel 2 and 6 to Kids

Vows
Another family wedding happened this past Saturday! It was full of joy, affection, and happiness.
