DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask that You will grant us each a clear understanding of how important our final years are in Your sight. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
CATHOLIC: Powerful words! Make time to hear them with all your mind and heart. [21:09] – In a world that often neglects the elderly, Cardinal Sarah reminds us that God never forgets His faithful servants. Our lives continue to have meaning and our presence still carries a divine assignment.
DARWIN WAS WRONG: [14:26] – Dawkins and Meyer remind me a lot of other left-wing and right-wing apologists. On the left, we see sneering, personal attacks; on the right, we see calm and rational logic.
EPSTEIN: [7:36] – And people wonder why the files weren’t released during the Biden administration?
MICHELLE: CLICK https://x.com/MrReaganUSA/status/1989538382720970765 [1:01] to hear this hyper privileged woman whine about how persecuted she is. “Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out CURLY. When we straighten it to follow YOUR beauty standards, we are TRAPPED by the straightness! That’s why so many of us can’t swim, won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all! It’s exhausting, expensive and takes up so much time!! Why do we need an act of law to tell White folks to get outta our hair?!” — Michelle Obama
Are we also responsible for her decision to have her black nose caucasized? This woman needs Jesus.
PANTS ON FIRE: CLICK https://x.com/amuse/status/1989620769459245191 [:16] to hear AOC falsely state that Trump had a “close personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.” What is horrifying is that AOC can lie and slander so glibly. The emails prove the opposite. In fact, they show top Clinton and Obama officials were Epstein’s friends and associates.
PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, We pray today for those who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome that they will seek You and find peace and eternal life. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

Politics is their religion and it’s all they have, which is why they have mental breakdowns when things don’t go their way.”
GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AckSKU6IX24 to see what Stella did. A commenter posted, “Kid had a strong spirit, she will go far in life.” Indeed! On her first time out on skis, our #2 took off down the hill before we’d taught her how to snowplow. She face planted into a snow drift at the bottom of the hill, got right back up, and wanted to go again. She is now a wife, a mom, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. military. :-)<3

Michelle is as ignorant as she is insufferable. To hear her tell it, black women are the only women who have ever had to spend any time or effort on their hair; everyone else wakes up in the morning with perfect hair and never has to do anything to maintain it. If only. I wish I had back all the time I wasted when I was a teenager trying to straighten my naturally curly hair, which at that time was seen as a birth defect. I tried everything — setting it on soup cans (hideously uncomfortable), chemical straighteners (expensive, time-consuming, and toxic), even ironing it (awkward, damaging, and immediately undone by humidity, sweating, or dampness of any kind). Thank God I finally came to accept myself the way nature had made me and stopped torturing and abusing my hair to satisfy the vagaries of fashion.
At the time Michelle became first lady, she was easily the most admired woman in the country. If she had worn her hair in an afro or braids or dreadlocks, every hair salon in the country would have been inundated with Michelle groupies demanding to have their hair done like hers.

100% true. Remember Vidal Sassoon’s geometric cut fad? My naturally curly hair (which I now bless abundantly for hiding post-menopausal thinning!!) would NOT cooperate. I remember going to school one day with rectangular rashes on my face after sleeping with strips of tape over my “sideburns” …. which still refused to lie flat.

I hear you. I could write a book about the tortures I inflicted on my thick, coarse, curly hair in a futile attempt to be in style. It was our bad luck to be born in 1954, meaning that our prime fashion-conscious years coincided with the years when stick-straight hair was the only acceptable look. By the time I finally outgrew my adolescent fashion obsession, curly hair was back in style, and other girls — the ones who had been considered pretty in high school (when I was the ugly duckling) — were torturing their hair with permanents and other obscenities to make it do what my hair did naturally.

Yup. Meanwhile, I gave up on long hair entirely and just lt my “basic bush ” do what it will. Thankfully, I have a stylist who knows exactly how to cut it so it looks good most of the time. 🙂

Lucky you! Stylists who know how to do curly hair are rare. Most of them want to treat it the same way they do straight hair.
