Gethsemane - in the New Testament, where Jesus spent the night before his crucifixion and chose to follow God’s will
As I do with any geographical region where I don’t have a good grasp of size, I went to thetruesize.com and compare to Texas (which I have driven across in all directions). For those like me who need a comparison, Nigeria is basically Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas combined.
Compare Countries With This Simple Tool
Drag and drop countries around the map to compare their relative size. Is Greenland really as big as all of Africa? You may be surprised at what you find! A great t...

Legos were always a favorite. Books and DVDs - I’m a big proponent of physical media and kids that age like things that are theirs. If kid is interested, I thought the branded Lego games (Marvel, Star Wars, etc) were good entry level games.
And for every blonde over the age of 15 or so, how much maintenance for that hair color costs
Legitimate question: if I have to check the source, what value is the AI bringing me? Is it just its value as search engine that led me to the source that I have to read to make sure the AI is producing the correct answer?
Shawn Colvin’s This Must Be the Place
My 17-year-old still does this.
His namesake did have some trouble with a no kings movement.

I believe I heard or read something from Tyler Mahan Coe a while back that said country music is pop music plus 20 years and a steel guitar so that tracks.
That’s exactly my reaction!
Which is crazy, because at the same time Suzanne Sugarbaker was putting Ben Gay in her husband’s jockstrap
In high school American History, we had an assignment to connect the events leading up to the revolution, the issues listed in the Declaration of Independence, and provisions in the Constitution/Bill of Rights on a chart. It was a pretty effective teaching tool.
This is also true of practicing law.
In a similar vein, Indecent Proposal is a very different movie with Dustin Hoffmann in the Redford role, which I have heard was a possibility.
All of Texas deserves better. Don’t be surprised if this goes down the same way at UT-Austin.
My father is of an age with Joe Biden and also had a childhood stutter. What I have observed as he has aged was so much like what we saw with Biden. The stutter is stronger than it was during his middle age, so he speaks more slowly and carefully, but he’s still pretty sharp.
