Romans 10:9-10
English Standard Version
“9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.“
They would never.

Pacific Koel, a couple of days ago. These visit every year but are usually heard and not seen. I was pretty happy to get this.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

45 people at church this Sunday. I won't be looking a gift horse in the mouth but I've got absolutely no idea why when it wasn't a remembrance service or anything...

Numbers were up last week too. Interesting to see if the trend keeps up and the new faces decide to hang around.

There's something kind of magical about those serialised non-prestige TV shows of the 2000s where every episode is plot important but it has to fit 22 episodes so the pacing is glacial.

Then you have the half seasons from the writers strike where suddenly after 10 episodes it wraps up too quickly.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament.
