Hey, Neighbor! Luke felt led to pray for his Unbelieving co-worker--but he wonders if he prayed the right way?

Also, should we just ask for "God's Will" to be done every time, or is that kind of a cop-out?

Later: A woman's 10-year-old daughter suddenly stopped walking, and she wants to help you learn how to buy crutches for your child as well. (That sounds sensational, but she DOES have a Parenting Course.) Let us explain why social media is full of this nonsense...

TCND: Tiny Crowds and Racist Right vs Reality (100 Surrogates) 51:09

för 3 dagar sedan51:09

51:09

John had a pretty shockingly small crowd at his most recent show. But--he was in the same room with real human beings, and that's happening less and less these days! The future of stand-up comedy seems to be uncertain. But, good riddance, amiright? Why did people EVER want to watch someone be funny? That's super weird, when you think about it. Then: what makes The Peaches laugh? Oh, kid quotes, for sure. And also forcing loved ones to try things that are unreasonable bad-tasting. Later: social media skews our perception of reality. It shows us more of what we're already clicking. But what about the people who are fighting racism? Are they spending too much time sitting on busses with Crazy Guys?

TCND: Public School Board Silliness (OMG, Parental Authority?) 47:14

för 4 weeks sedan47:14

47:14

Neighbor, here's a PSA: if you're going to take your kids out of public school, you should have to look every other kid in the eye and say: "My kid deserves more than you do." LOL!!!!

And what happens to first-year teachers--fresh out of college--that imemediately turns them into crazy, union-loving, copying-and-pasting activists? Finally: If you try to change the church by-laws, you may have to step over the bodies you leave behind you. And also--you can't make kids eat good food. That's bad.
