Here’s a thought: stop voting for people that don’t have your interests in mind. Example: the Republican parties only aim is to eliminate taxes and destroy the federal and state governments. That’s not in your interests unless you’re a billionaire or a corporation. Soooo… maybe pay attention?

I got George. Lincoln was a tall stick, while teddy was an asthmatic. If I recall correctly George’s clothes ordered from England in his prime were for someone 6’-6’2” likely a natural 180.
He somehow managed to fall into a freezing Pennsylvania river while Indians were chasing him and the guy with him ended up with frostbite

In the preface of the Seven Pillars of Wisdom my takeaway was that he disapproved of the British actions there and that he generally wasn't happy with the turnout of those events. But it has been a few years since I read it, so perhaps my memory is off.

I thought this headline was Trevor Lawrence, thinking this after losing the game in the UK this morning.

Yes. Take Damascus before everyone else. So they have control and they have the power in negotiation.

Hardly a surprise.
You want a surprise? Here’s a surprise. Peter O’Toole was 6’2”. TE Lawrence? 5’5”.
Important? No. But it was a surprise, at least to me.

I read the first page and it became very apparent in my mind of how highly he viewed Scripture. I put the book down and felt that I couldn't approach the book until I had inculcated that same level in order to respect the work.

If someone doesn't have the time to get through it, there's also the abridged version Revolt in the Desert, which is a good read.
