Article: people who browse social media but never post aren't necessarily passive — they may have quietly opted out of the pressure to perform. Millions of others simply aren't on social media at all.


Must see vacation destinations, according to one source: European river & canal cruises, Italy's Amalfi coast, Ireland’s castles and countryside, a month in Provence France, a Galápagos Islands Expedition, Australia, exploring the Greek islands, a bungalow in Bora Bora. 

Henry Winkler is the nicest man in show business. Before he landed his iconic role of The Fonz on Happy Days in 1974, he made one time appearances on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Bob Newhart Show. After becoming famous, Winkler noticed a downtrodden actor trying to get his handwritten script made into a movie, and decided to help him out. That's how the movie Rocky was made.

Caitlin Clark made WNBA history - again. Angel Reese was quoted as saying "I know I'm a great player". In Sunday's sellout game at State Farm Arena, Reese shot 1-8 from the field, with eight turnovers. 


The Day Ted Turner managed the Braves.

Denison: "it is vital that I write, speak, and respond to cultural issues in ways that offer biblical truth with personal humility. What God says is what matters, not what I think. And what I think comes from a finite, fallen mind couched in experiences that limit my perspective and understanding. Given the differences that exist in a culture as disparate as ours, can we find hope beyond humility and unity beyond tolerance?" ME: it's sad that so many other "Christian" voices that I hear don't think and speak and act this way. 


Article: an angry Muslim man refused to sit in his assigned seat on the plane, which was next to an elderly woman reading her Bible, and demands to be moved. The only open seat was in first class, so the flight crew upgraded the elderly woman to the first class seat so she wouldn't have to put up with the belligerent Muslim.
