One of my cousins just sent me this old school photo.
Any guess which one is me?

Which celebrity's death made you cry?

@tanjaostman 😂

You ever meet judgemental Christians that like to argue? You know? The ones that ALWAYS have to show how superior they are in their adherence to the Bible and those that don't agree with them are living in sin?
Now imagine what they would be like if they were NOT Christians.
Now imagine that they believe in the mask mandate.
That's California.
I just arrived in Los Angeles and all I want is to eat at In-n-Out and leave.

@tanjaostman movies do not necessarily have to be really scary to scare small children. We watched Little House on the Prairie with my boys as they grew up and there was one episode about the plague - and it COMPLETELY traumatized both of my boys. we spent a lot of time with them in prayer and explaining to them that no one was going to die in our family of the plague.

@MaryMamuzich I remember seeing an Alfred Hitchcok movie before I was familiar with him. It was not a scary movie (at first), but was about a guy trying to escape prison. He developed a plan to have the coroner sneak him out of the prison by allowing him to crawl into the casket of a deceased inmate. He would be buried and at night the coroner would come and dig him out of the grave. As planned, the prisoner got into the casket at night, was taken out of the prison and buried. When the prisoner lit a lighter to see who he was buried with he saw it was the coroner of the prison. That's where the movie ended. def freaked me out.

@ChristieLeanne ouch. that is a tough one. I saw that one during movie night on ship in the Marine Corps. The tv in our berthing area was right outside my rack, so I saw all of the movies whether I wanted to or not. One of them was Silence of the Lambs. I am not a fan of horror movies, so I didn't pay much attention at first, but I find myself watching it after some time. it was a heavy movie.

Slavery is alive and well.
Christians are not helpless - there is a way to help stop it.

@ChristieLeanne 😯

Did you ever watch a movie that traumatized you as a child?
I remember I had chicken pox at 7 years old and stayed home and watched the poltergeist on HBO by myself. I was so scared out of my mind, that I went outside and sat on the front steps of our house until my mother came home from work.

@Joshua_D_Jones nothing is true.

@bethany yes. if you want to eat your cake AND have it too, you are wanting to have something both ways.

@bethany Noted.
.....none of them make sense. "He wants to have his cake and eat it too."
?
Isn't that the purpose? If you have cake, isn't the purpose to eat it?

She is having an 18th birthday, but she can't be there to celebrate it.

@bethany I have never said it any other way other than "I could care less." 😂
but NO ONE should take language instructions from me. EVER. I think in America, we like to say things wrong on purpose.
Just like, "they want to have their cake and eat it too...." when it is supposed to be "eat their cake and have it too."
"For all intensive purposes" and not for all intents and purposes.
Case in point instead of case and point.
"That'll learn him" instead of "That'll teach him."
And we even adopt brand names for generic language.
"what kind of coke would you like" instead of "what kind of soda would you like" - even when talking about Pepsi.
"Can you pass me a Kleenex" instead of "can you pass me a tissue."
Sometimes I think that the early Americans hated the British so much that they kept the language just to butcher it.

@tymektt there are far too few vowels in that word brother! 😂

@Rymiller843 "I need to akks a question."

What word, when mispronounced, DRIVES YOU CRAZY?!

Canadian Pastor joins us for our next intense podcast.
This is normal life for us in China, but perhaps it's time for western Christians to have this conversation?
