At this point it feels like a bad relationship, I don't want to leave. Great baseball though. πππ
Coming back to this because I've been reading lots of hype regarding Drake Baldwin.
Happy Jackie Robinson Day
Robinson is a classic case of black people who left the republicans when they became a clearly identified "white man's party" and added their southern strategy. I bet some have been waiting for this to be done to him and his legacy, for a generation now.
Was reading about Elston Howard tonight. I just assumed he was already in the Hall of Fame. I was very wrong.
Hurricanes might be the only they don't have. Had a conference in July one year, and it felt like Lucifer was breathing hot smoke on me every time I stepped outside. Then they told me, we also do below zero regularly in winter.
Like why??
Think there's a decent argument that tattoos, especially ones like y'all's, designed with such meaning, can be like modern day tassels. In fact, your meanings say as much.
Love the idea of a God who wants people to remember they're royalty, and that they belong to God and each other too.
Russell got Coltrane in his name. We might can just let it slide this time.
Yeah at this point, I'm not sure I can name even just five modern.
I get that the game and African American representation has gone down. But yeah, catcher is impossible.
I got Charles Johnson in thirty, forty years. Veterans Committee? π
Yes please.
Anyone freely choosing to go deeper into the ocean, with things already here with us... that we don't know, that get bigger the further down we go, and in utter darkness with all that pressure?? Lawdamercy.
One of the most helpful things someone asked me was, does it look like Jesus or just Jesus you've created in your image??
That was enough at 17 l, all those years ago.
And it's still enough now, all these years later.

But yeah, been trying to find the next African American starting pitcher to get in, on the google. We may have to just rely on the Negro Leagues because it's not looking great.
I try to tell them and myself, Christianity was always more African than it was western or European. African-American Christianity may have been used by God to save the faith in this here country.
And following Jesus, being led by the Spirit, and trusting God now, in all of this, is the work.
Had to do a double take like that's not David Justice. πππ
For the kids, I can respect that. We're blues in this house. Up the CHELS!!
I don't think anyone should call him that, ever. πππ
More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre
The report says the attack βwas so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violenceβ
It's not weird at all. The grind is still the grind. Grateful to have it. Even more grateful to love the work. But the grind is still the grind... and downtime just reinforces that.
Even before homeschooling was all the rage, "Christian" schools popping up after Brown ruling is another marker.
