For those who like the riddles: what do you get when your parakeet flies into the blender? Shredded tweet. Okay, seriously…
Overheard — the motto of Christianity nowadays is “And now these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is truth.”
“Where could you take Jesus to church and not feel like you had to explain it to him?” — Jim Henderson (good article, with the “line of the day” according to Mike Todd)
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift

[D]uring a private conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, [George W.] Bush “all but disowned” the agencies’ Dec. 3 National Intelligence Estimate on Iran. A “senior administration official who accompanied Bush” on the trip confided… that Bush “told the Israelis that he can’t control what the intelligence community says, but that [the NIE’s] conclusions don’t reflect his own views.” The NIE—which was signed by all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies—concluded “with high confidence” that Iran had “halted its nuclear weapons program” back in the fall of 2003.
