For those of you who are Christians and who feel disappointed or despairing of the election results, it is a blessing to be reminded that our security does not rest in men or governments, which are finite and will eventually crumble, but in God alone who is ever sustaining.

Is it possible to agree that one can want to protect the vulnerable and also open the economy? Why does that seem so difficult for people?
Hey , why isn’t ever on the Person of the Year list? Hey , why isn’t he ever picked for the #jeanhersholt humanitarian award? He raises $30M a year to build homes for wounded vets along with his #goldstarfamily support. Retweet!

If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.
Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns. Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?
Waking up in London to find my tweet about #BuzzLightyear generated more of a kerfuffle than my tweet about the box of aborted full term babies found in DC. Let us all ponder the state of our humanity.
I don’t understand why pro-life people want to know if they are “welcome” to join the democrat party. Why would any civilized person want to support a barbaric platform that champions abortion for any reason through all nine months funded by taxpayers?
Hey - why aren’t you letting me follow ? I’ve tried eight times to support my friend and won’t let me. Others are having the same issue. Please correct this. Thank you.
Hello . Today is Easter Sunday, the holiest day of the Christian calendar. Some of the faithful were murdered today while they worshiped. But you ambush Robert Mueller outside of his church and chuckle about it afterward. This is loathesome. Shame on you.
Iceland isn't actually eliminating Down Syndrome. They're just killing everybody that has it. Big difference. #Downsyndrome #abortion
I know this is hard for you to grasp, but women of all kinds who are pro-science and anti-violence don’t believe that ending the life of your developing son or daughter in your womb is liberating or progressive. It’s tyrannical and barbaric. twitter.com/womensmarch/st

For me, twitter has always been fun, funny, and a great way of connecting to all kinds of good people because I curate my feed that way. Now it’s still all that but also endlessly fascinating and an incredible roller coaster ride. I’ve never enjoyed it more.
Our medical pregnancy clinic serves client families for five years, providing superior services for anyone who asks. We raised $250K for a mobile medical clinic for underserved areas, treating everyone. Because of people like we now have to hire armed security.

With Roe gone, it’s more important than ever to crack down on so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that mislead and deceive patients seeking abortion care. My bill with @SenatorMenendez would stop these harmful practices.

Friends, be prepared for social media to be filled with an onslaught of arrogant pronouncements based on breathtaking ignorance of religion in general, Christianity specifically and Catholicism in particularly by people who wouldn’t recognize God if He bit them on the bum.

I truly don't understand people getting upset and offended that their blue check was removed. Wasn't everyone's removed? It's not like it's personal. We now have to pay for the verification service to protect our identity - cool. What's the big deal?
A reminder: neither Trump nor Biden, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can save this country. That can only happen thru personal repentance, replacing the hate in your heart with love, forgiving those who wrong you, and using your God-given gifts to help your neighbor.
1. I'm seeing what I believe to be sincere apologies from some journalists and verified media persons regarding their lack of professionalism in rushing to judgement re the #CovingtonCatholic situation.
I went all day without my phone today and I’m still here.
If everyone initially assumed the best about everyone else (especially on twitter) until definitively proven otherwise, what a wonderful world it would be.
My poor bible is at that point...duck tape. Buts it’s got that thin tissue- type paper I love and old illegible notes in the margins and I can’t give it up.
Simply astonishing - and humbling. I thought I was a Christian until I saw this. I have some work to do.

As we head to the brink, I highly recommend a daily rosary and tuning out social media/tuning in classical music.

A woman is arrested in England for quietly standing outside an abortion clinic. The crime seems to be that she was possibly praying in her mind…

Police in the UK arrest a woman for silently praying:
"Are you praying?"
"I might be praying in my head."

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The woman in the video, Isabel Vaughan Spruce, was not arrested for silently praying. She was arrested for breaking a temporary Public Space Protection Order on four separate occasions which was used to ban protests outside of an abortion clinic due to safety concerns.

I don’t care if every previous Pope is exposed. My allegiance is not to any man or institution, but only to Christ crucified and risen, who warned that it would be better to drown with a millstone around your neck than to cause his little ones to stumble.
Again, why is this news? When I worked on “Thirtysomething” I was also summarizing depositions to pay my rent. Why are you trying to humiliate this honorable, hardworking actor? Shame on you! #geoffreyowens - many great blessings are coming your way!

2. These apologies are welcome and necessary, but they don't address the damage that cannot be undone which was inflicted upon young people who are about to embark on adulthood - applying to colleges, looking for employment, etc.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his…Psalm 100 (great way to start your day!)
There are two holidays I pretty much loathe. Halloween (I hate going out in public in a costume) and New Year’s Eve (I hate forced jocularity). So my New Year’s Eve is normally very low-key. How do all of you lovely Tweatons feel about it?
6. Some kind of compensatory action would go a long way in signaling their recognition of the seriousness of their transgression and help to restore what's left of the public's very fragile trust in their reputations as trustworthy journalists.
Exactly:

5. It seems to me that an apology without some kind of accompanying action which speaks to the seriousness of their transgression - a suspension from work, some loss of pay - renders any apology empty.
4. And yet those who perpetrated this destruction, no matter how unintended, are still at their jobs, with nary a consequence for their reckless behavior.

3. These young people will forever have these smears follow them through their life every time they proffer their resume with the word "Covington" on it. It will also affect anyone who ever has or ever will attend that school. The damage is incalculable.
2022 brought the loss of my only brother Michael, then shortly after my cousin John, then recently my cousin Molly. Grief brings deep sorrow. It also makes each day richer. I feel all you who experienced the holidays through loss.

Being a mother is indescribable; joy, worry, delight, frustration, but ultimately the greatest satisfaction and deepest human love of your life. So grateful.

And now, some words of wisdom for Twitter from Proverbs 18:2 “A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in airing his own opinions.” Hard to believe what was written in between 700-400 BC is still relevant today, but here we are. Only Jesus can save humanity.

I’ve been mad at lately but I appreciate this: “Interrupting a pregnancy is like eliminating someone. Is it fair to hire a hitman to solve a problem? It is not fair. We cannot take out a human being, even if it is small.”
