Beautiful Feet: Let’s Be Real. Really.
“Abby and I sat back and marveled, recounting how Jesus also went through lots of difficult moments in his life. How he chose to become human and experience a world full of harshness. He didn’t remain aloof, or skirt over touchy issues. He dug into people’s messy, broken, dirty lives and loved them with a perfect heart. And when his friend Lazarus died, Jesus wept. Jesus was real.
"Abby and I talked of the blessings God has given each of us.
"God loved us enough to become a man and ultimately conquer sin and death in order for us to be with him forever. (Hello, Good News!)”
This is pretty much how I feel whenever someone wants to talk about how dangerous firearms are.
[A] wise and frugal government … shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
—Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, 1801
Studio 60 O Holy Night (by Oceandreams313)
Look, I get it, not everyone liked Studio 60. It wasn’t as even or as steady as West Wing, and for that it was (unjustly) pilloried. But, if there’s one hour of it that you should watch it’s “The Christmas Episode” if just for this scene, in its whole context.
Follow it up with Pahrump. Trust me.
My wife and I watched Studio 60 and were disappointed when it was cancelled. This is easily the scene I remember most, and I would have to say is my favorite of the short-lived series.

And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.
