Katy, rest easy in your joy of having your beautiful car. Your heavenly Father LOVES to see you enjoy His creation. As a father myself, I smile from ear to ear to hear my precious daughter share her excitement with something meaningful to her. I may not get it, but the Father does. She is precious to me, and you are precious to Him. Enjoy But consider a 1965 Pontiac GTO! Now THAT'S a gorgeous car!

This one has an AI symbol also. I don't believe at all that you have AI writing these. Why is that there?

I think Maria was talking about the podcast "The Surprising Rebirth of the Belief in God" by Justin Brierley. It is a refreshing, informative docuseries. I highly recommend it and would love to hear it on your recommendations list!

Great resource for commentary on current issues and worldview from a Biblical perspective. Each weekday, listen to 5- and 1-minute commentary on current events. One weekends, enjoy the in-depth discussion of the week's major stories.

Love listening every week. But after hearing John repeatedly refer to Glenn Sunshine as "The Bearded Gandalf," I feel convicted to point out that the original Gandalf had a beard, so this moniker for Glenn doesn't distinguish between them at all. May I suggest "The Writing Gandalf," or "The Spectacled Gandalf." Perhaps even "The Midwestern Gandalf." Keep working at it, John. 😁

Christmas albums:. Bruce Cockburn's album "Christmas". Get the CD because the liner notes bring it all together.

I never tire of having my Christian worldview strengthened and grown by Breakpoint. This is my go-to source for what is happening in the swirling world around me, where I as a Christian can take hold on The Rock. And ways and encouragement to wisely defend my stand. Breakpoint is intelligent, educated, outreaching, and centering for the truly "thinking" man or woman. It is meat, not milk.
