Let us celebrate the Feast Day of St. James of Jerusalem!
"Grant, O God, that, following the example of your apostle James the Just, kinsman of our Lord, your Church may give itself continually to prayer and to the reconciliation of all who are at variance and enmity; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."
—The Book of Common Prayer
Shocking nobody, the anonymous accounts angry at my common sense have not changed my mind
Kids don't want to hug their grandparents because they think they're too cool for it.
The Left weaponizes this by promoting "consent" so that you will trust the government who gives you what you want, over your family, who loves you. It's pure manipulation.
Not all physical contact is sexual. The modern idea of consent is based on the assumption that it is. Collapsing all physical touch into something that needs consent because it is implicitly a violation of one's sexual autonomy, causes distrust in one's family for no good reason.
CS Lewis spends a lot of time in That Hideous Strength describing the motives behind the propaganda machine of the
N.I.C.E.
Boy was he dead on.
The boundaries of human nature are good. Rejecting those boundaries in favor of "possibilities" will only ever make you unhappy. This is for many reasons, but the most basic is that no matter what you try, or what you theorize, you cannot change your identity as male or female.
The modern "concent" movement implicitly teaches that all forms of physical affection are sexual, which will only make the problems they think they are solving worse.
It's also clearly aimed at fostering a deep distrust of your family so that you'll trust the government instead
Everyone begins as a child by liking Wether. You learn the art of disliking it as you grow up.

I accounced a partial ban on cheating during the test and wouldn't you know it, all of my students cheated.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

This seems well in line with Article 6 of the 39 Articles, so it is fine.
On Sunday, my church had a reading from Ecclesiasticus (Apocryphal). Instead of our typical,
"The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God,"
the reader ended simply with
"Here ends the reading."
We still had our Psalm, Epistle, and Gospel readings.
Do you find this is acceptable? Why or why not? Comment below. 👇🏻
This is the worst stat you will read all year. The second worst is the stat about how many mothers have killed their children since the Lindsay Clancy trial.
Psalm 82:4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
It was an honor to speak at @AquinasKC with @CredoMagazine. What a conference!
I spoke on how finding happiness in God can only be done by embracing human nature.
A girl on my flight was reading Return of the King and it reminded me that everything is going to be ok
I really want to know what the conditions are for being assigned boarding groups 1-4. Seems like everyone is either first class or group 8.

It had been 3,689 days since I last watched Arkansas win a true road game in person. Sept. 10, 2016 … over 10 years ago. 22 straight losses. The streak is over! Arkansas 31, Vanderbilt 21. #wps
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

I was reliably informed AOC's bank account consisted of nothing more than $12, a bunch of student loans, and a dream because she's one of us everyday normal people
Breaking News: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez transferred $1 million to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive running for Senate in Michigan. The transfer represents a huge sum for a House member to give to a Senate race, especially one in a different state. nyti.ms/4zzoswn

If you read Lewis' children's books as an adult and come away thinkings he's an unserious thinker, it's likely because you are an unserious reader
