This brief from The Economist today. 🤣🤣 (I mean, if this deal isn’t signed today, is anyone going to ever believe the President on anything?)

A great reminder. Even Jesus washed feet.

Three-mile walk with my lovey. I will neither confirm nor deny if she spent part of the walk catching lightning bugs. 🤣🤣

Wow. Bonkers. I know they control the press over there, but at some point, you can’t hide the fact that this special military operation isn’t going according to plan.
🚨 Russia: Fuel rationing imposed in Moscow. 20 liters limit - 5.3 gallons. Same restrictions reported in St. Petersburg and Kazan.

I really hope lots of tankers are making it through right now.
Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones in an attempt to strike commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have downed all of them in recent hours as traffic flow through the strait continues unimpeded. The international trade corridor remains open for transit.

Trump apparently just lives in his own head these days. It is increasingly impossible for his enablers to defend his comments and his actions. (H/t @RonFilipkowski)

“Let’s go grab a beer.” Or: “Nah, I don’t feel like exercising.” Or: “I hate reading and writing.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let's have some fun. What's ONE thing you could say that would immediately let people know there's something wrong with you? Be honest. 😄 Mine: "Coffee? Ew, no thanks. I can't stand coffee!" 👇

Another busy week. Let’s slow it down and think clearly. New episode drops tomorrow. If you want the episode as soon as it’s live — and the occasional written note — the email list is the best way to stay connected. Link below. #Military #WorldEvents #PoliticsWithPerspective

Yep. 💯
If you have anything to do with Jesus, you must get right away from your own good works; I mean from all reliance upon them, and come to rest in him, and him alone, for it never will be Christ and company. He will save from top to bottom, from first to last, or else not at all.

This is hilarious. He’s clearly trying to keep the stock market from dropping hard today, but I wonder how much affect his words will have. With every passing week, we have seen how meaningless his words are on this subject.

Bless you, brother. I'm out both my parents now and it still feels so hollow and weird. Like the family history is gone or something. And like I'm now the old man who has to keep the family stories alive, even though almost no one wants to hear them.
