Color photograph looking at the front of a small house at night. A porch light shines brightly from under one of those aluminum awning things, illuminating a picture window with curtains drawn and shining onto green lawn over a pair of red camping chairs. Trees in the yard and behind the house loom up all around silhouetted against a glowing overcast night sky

Color photograph looking at the front of a small suburban house at night. The porch light shines a bright burst of light in front of the door, illuminating some green lawn, against which you can see a small circle of camping chairs. The street and yard are dark, with trees looming thick silhouettes against a glowing overcast night sky

Color photograph looking at the front of a small white suburban house at night with a brightly glowing picture window and in the yard a statue of Mary and of the Nativity with bright decorative lights around the shrine. Trees in the yard and behind the house loom up into the sky, making everything around the window and shrine very dark against a glowing overcast night sky

I don’t remember if Mike Johnson’s story about engaging in an anti-masturbation accountability partnership with his teenage son included the name of the app he uses for that or not

Who can deny but the president general will be a king to all intents and purposes, and one of the most dangerous kind too; a king elected to command a standing army? Thus our laws are to be administered by this tyrant; for the whole, or at least the most important part of the executive department is put in his hands.

I hope it’s delivered soon! Yeah, not really to say I think it’s likely what’s happened here, but it does happen

fwiw, I recently mailed an order whose tracking never changed from β€œlabel created” or whatever it is until the package was suddenly delivered. It was maybe a day late. I was pretty anxious about it. That’s only happened once to me, but I guess it does happen

9β€œWoe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
to set his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!
10You have devised shame for your house
by cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.
11For the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond.

12β€œWoe to him who builds a town with blood
and founds a city on iniquity!
