Found out a couple of years ago that it was also translated into Portuguese (third bleet of 🧵).

Hard to find much about the architects online, but googling this sort of stuff always yields interesting results.

Captures an era, like this bulletin. Feels like going through a grandparents' desk -

A good friend of mine's church began leasing this space in Dearborn, MI. Was originally an American Baptist church, now multi-use.

Love these exterior lines. Classic mid-20th century stuff.

Architects: Schmiedke and Storrer, 1964.

Coach Son in Law's HS team pulls out a narrow 10-8 win against their biggest rival (since 1941!).

They are now 4-4 on the season. The last three seasons before this they were 4-26 overall. Already tied the past three seasons wins combined. Real FNL stuff.

Honestly, I will take what I can get these days. Realpolitik can have some good results.

I really hope this is true, and with no negative strings attached for Ukraine. Pray for peace, and for these families.

I can't tell if this is the 1960s or the 1850s and that's scaring me a little.

I have had people sit under my preaching for years and end up far, far left of me, theologically. I've had people sit under my preaching for years and end up far, far right of me, theologically.

My only prayer for us all is that we remain in Christ. Then One Day, we will all sit together and laugh.

You'd be surprised what foreign military forces might find themselves involved in CWII.

What??? No idea.

I mean, when I went through Officer Basic at Ft. Sam Houston, we had this one doctor from Malta (one of only four in their entire armed forces). I thought that was pretty cool, but can't imagine him storming the Alamo. 🇲🇹 ⛪

I get that we have to figure out immigration. I don't get making the most vulnerable - and likely most pro-U.S.! - types pay. Our church is filled with second generation Americans grateful for a chance to make a new life here.

Listen, I am a big alt-history fan, but nobody foresaw Qatari Air Force jets playing a big role in Civil War II from a joint base in Idaho. That's crazy talk.

A longer essay here from earlier in the year. Heartbreaking stuff. Please say a prayer for these families, whatever you think about how best to solve the refugee* issue.

*this is distinct from general immigration policy, though tied to it

Send this around my friends/family on WhatsApp before posting, they are all normally over-the-top, 'Oh that's brilliant' etc. but this one got 'Not as good as your other work' for the first time ever! Anyone guess where this is? #painting #art #landscapes #artist #painter #landscapeart
