From now on, I will refer to the plastic wine bladder as a wineskin
People are always mocking bag wine like Franzia as if ancient wineskins weren't basically the same thing. Jesus drank bag wine, you guys. 🍷👝 collections.mfa.org/objects/1867...

This probably won’t help Dallas make the playoffs, and it likely has eliminated KC from a wildcard. My 2 favorite teams (I grew up in Kansas and live in Texas). Boo 😒

Having classes scheduled (university) the two days before Thanksgiving Break seems like a tradition that needs to end. Two of 18 of my first year seminar students came to class. Everyone just goes home early, even the ones who just started and are still learning how to college. 🤷♂️

Just 15 years before I was born. She graduated high school just 4 years before I was born. This is very recent history, but when I learned about it, it seemed ancient, as did the Vietnam War and Watergate. All so recent. Lest we forget.
Reminder: Ruby Bridges is only 71 years old today. She still remembers how one woman she passed on her way into school would threaten to poison her every morning, and how the US Marshalls would only allow her to eat lunch brought from home, just in case.
This history isn't ancient. It's recent.

Sandwich Guy is the hero we need.
Such a ridiculous case to begin with: “Jurors showed no appetite for the [DOJs] case against ‘sandwich guy,’ the D.C. resident who chucked a Subway sandwich at the chest of a federal officer, finding him not guilty Thursday after several hours of deliberations.” 🥪✊

This is a remarkable explanation of tithing
Time to post this again it looks like⚓
As many churches kick off “stewardship season”, a quick reminder that the biblical concept of the tithe is a tenth of the produce of the land, falling squarely on property owners with no burden on waged workers. It is a progressive tax on the proceeds of ownership, not a regressive flat income tax.⚓️

It’s a good read, but it is somewhat over plotted, and some of the twists towards the end strain credulity. Put it through your typewriter, and submit it again.
