*Maturity taught me that* not every woman is a Proverbs 31 woman. And honestly, that’s okay.
*Some women are Deborahs* — called to lead, speak boldly and stand on the front lines.
*Some are Ruths* — loyal, humble and faithful even when nobody is watching.
*Some are Esthers* — positioned for influence, with courage rising when the moment calls for it.
*Some are Marys* — chosen to surrender and carry a purpose they didn’t fully understand.
*Some are Hannahs* — shaped by prayer, waiting, tears and a faith that refuses to die.
*Some are Abigails* — wise, discerning and brave enough to step in before things fall apart.
*Some are Miriams* — worshippers, leaders and women who know how to praise God after surviving battles.
*Some are Rahabs* — women with complicated pasts who prove that your beginning does not have to determine your ending.
*Some are Naomis* — women who have lost so much, yet somehow find the strength to begin again.
*Some are Lydia’s* — business-minded, resourceful women who use what they have to make room for others.
*Some are Priscillas* — women who teach, guide and build alongside others.
*Some are Mary Magdalene’s* — women whose lives were transformed by God and who carried their testimony boldly.
*And then there are Jezebels* — a reminder that influence without humility, power without accountability and manipulation can destroy everything around you.
*The Bible didn’t give us only one type of woman.*
*It gave us leaders.*
Warriors.
Mothers.
Worshippers.
Entrepreneurs.
Intercessors.
Survivors.
Women who waited.
Women who fought.
Women who failed.
Women who were restored.
And women whose lives became warnings.
*So stop expecting every woman to look* the same, love the same, lead the same or walk the same path.
*You don’t have to be another woman*. You just have to become the woman God created YOU to be. ❤️🔥🙏🏾

Keith Jarrett’s solo performance of “Over the Rainbow” in Tokyo in 1984 is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding and moving piano solo covers of all time. Rather than simply restating the familiar melody, the legendary pianist infused the piece with new life through his brilliant improvisation, refined harmonic structure, and profound emotional depth.

As a mother of two sons who do this, and a third who I’m SURE will start soon, I can confidently say this is a completely valid crash-out.

Kids making fun of influencers just restored my faith in humanity. Nature is healing🤣

This is superb.
The lesson begins with the usual catechism: J.K. Rowling has “bigoted opinions”.
Then someone makes the unforgivable mistake of reading what she actually wrote.
Suddenly, certainty requires definitions. Slogans require evidence. “Everyone knows” requires rather more than everyone saying it.
Critical thinking really is murder on a fashionable consensus.

Tom Brady says his career turned around when a sports psychologist told him to stop complaining about what he wasn’t getting and start stewarding what he had the right way
“Greg said to me, ‘Why don’t you quit bitching about all the things you’re not getting, and how about you do the best with whatever opportunities you get?’, ‘Stop worrying about what the other quarterback’s getting. Stop worrying about what the coach is saying to you.’”
“‘Every time you get in there, you bring the juice. You bring the energy. You bring the enthusiasm. You treat practice like a game.’ Because if you just decide to go out there and you’re blaming everybody else, where does that get you? So I started to change my attitude.”
“I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself. And when you don’t have a lot of confidence in yourself, you blame other people. When you gain confidence in yourself, you start pointing the finger at yourself.”
“I would encourage every athlete to look in the mirror after every day of practice or a game and say, ‘What can I do better to help the team? What can I do better?’”
“Not, ‘What does the coach need to do better?’ Not, ‘What do my teammates need to do better?’, ‘What do I need to do better?’ If every player does that, you’re going to have an incredible team.”
“You can’t have a false confidence. You don’t only gain your confidence because of your physical ability. You gain your confidence because you’re prepared, because you’re competitive. I couldn’t just show up and be better than everybody.”
“I had to show up prepared. I had to show up with energy. I had to show up with my body feeling right. I had to show up like I was on a mission.”

This really should be the scandal of the century, how two huge product manufacturers working with regulators bamboozled the world with claims of 95% effectiveness that completely fall apart on closer examination. blog.openvaet.info/p/pfizerb…

Rita Moreno’s unforgettable performance of “Fever” on The Muppet Show originally aired in 1976, with Animal wildly backing her on drums. The performance became one of the most memorable moments of her appearance—and it ultimately earned Moreno a Primetime Emmy Award in 1977. 🎶❤️

Someone reposted it & I felt like I should too.
I have watched this an infinite number of times & I still can't make it through with dry eyes.

The people who say they're busy are lying.
What they mean is they're unclear about their priorities.

If you belong to Christ, then nothing that happens to you can un-belong you. Thank you, @BenSasse for demonstrating how true this is.

My statin thread went viral. Thousands of you read it. But the messages that hit me the hardest were the ones that said: "Mark, I have heart disease in my family. My dad had it. My grandfather died from it. Am I next? Is there any hope for someone like me?"
I need you to hear me. There is hope. Real hope. Backed by science.
Look at this chart. A 2016 study in the New England Journal of Medicine followed 55,685 people. Even those dealt the WORST genetic hand for heart disease cut their risk in HALF through lifestyle alone.
You are not your diagnosis. You are not your family history. Let me show you why. 🧵

Ben Sasse: "What’s really happening is these superdevices in our pockets — the largest tools any median individual’s ever had access to in all of human history — allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live, the places where we break bread, the people who are living next door to us, the people that you can physically touch and hug, the small platoons of real community, and we allow our consciousness to go really far away"

Ben Sasse has the face of Christ. His bloodied visage is the result of treatment for his pancreatic cancer; the new treatment might give him a few more months. Read or listen to the interview. It's staggering, this man's hope and faith. nytimes.com/2026/04/09/opini…

Joseph of Arimathea pulled a corpse off a cross with his bare hands.
Blood under his fingernails. The weight of a dead man sagging into his arms.
He wrapped God in linen, pressed the fabric into wounds that were still wet.
Nicodemus brought seventy-five pounds of burial spice. A king's funeral for a man the world just murdered.
They carried Him into a hole in the rock and rolled the stone shut.
And everything you've ever done went in with Him.
Every night you can't sleep because of what you did. Every morning, you can't look in the mirror. The thing you did to her. The thing you did to them. The
lie you've been carrying so long it feels like bone.
The version of you that drinks alone and pretends tomorrow will be different.
That man was buried with Christ.
Stone sealed. Done.
Not managed. Not in therapy. Not on a payment plan with God where you slowly earn your way back. Buried. In a tomb. Under rock. Gone.
Three days of silence. Three days of a cold body in the dark.
Then the stone moved.
And when He walked out, the grave clothes were folded on the slab. He didn't stumble out tangled in death. He left it sitting there like a man who's done
with the clothes he used to wear.
Lazarus needed someone to unwrap him. Death still clung to him even after he was breathing.
Jesus folded His own burial linen and walked out clean.
That's the difference between religion and resurrection. Religion unwraps you slowly. Asks you to manage your sin. Attend the class. Read the book. Try harder next week.
Resurrection says the man who walked into that tomb is dead. The man who walked out doesn't know him.
You're not fixing the old you. The old you is in a sealed tomb in Jerusalem, and he's not coming back.
The man reading this, the one who thinks he's too far gone, you're not too far. You're already buried. The funeral happened two thousand years
ago.
Now get up. The stone's already moved. The linen's already folded.
Walk out.

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036.
"If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me.
And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance.
And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."
