I'm just seeing if this will show up, since I can find a video that I uploaded, and I think may be lost permanently.
I can re-upload it, but, not the point.

BREAKING: Pope Francis dies at 88, ending historic pontificate marked by mercy and reform
I'm shocked. I knew #PopeFrancis was sick, but, as recently as #EasterSunday, he was at apparently giving blessings after #Mass.
For the Non-Catholics I have here, I think now would be a good time to research how the #Pope is chosen. Avoid any #conspiracytheorist websites that say he wasn't really the #Pope.
As for Pope Francis, #Restinpeace. I am curious who the next Pope will be. Pope Francis was the first Pope born in the Americas, and the first #Jesuit pope.
I remember telling my friend Bill (God rest his soul), that the next pope, "will be American", after Benedict died, and I was right! (SOUTH American is a type of American)!
I'm not going to make any predictions for the next Pope. But, I pray that he serves God and his #Church, and brings the #Gospel to the whole world. Pope Francis was really good at telling people, not just to know the Gospel, but to LIVE it.
He was also a friend to #EasternCatholics, and celebrated the #UkrainianGreekCatholic #DivineLiturgy in #Argentina, and spoke #Ukrainian to some extent
May he rest in peace!

The Christ Haunted South
#FlanneryOConnor spoke of the #SouthernUnitedStates as being " #Christ haunted", and in a way, it is. Seeing #Bible verses everywhere you go, people telling you #Godblessyou and legitimately meaning it, asking you where you go to #church instead of if you go to church, this is what the culture is like here. I think y'all are in for a treat on this one, because you might be an outsider looking in, and you might want to know, what #TheSouth is really like.

The Peace of Christ
#Peace isn't simply the absence of #conflict. And sometimes the conflict is entirely within ourselves. But ultimately the only peace that matters, is the Peace of Christ.
Please join me, as we discuss this very concept. It's not my longest #article, but right now, I think it's my most important.

How you know someone doesn't know what they're talking about
I see suggestions on #YouTube that say " #Mexican dad tries white people #tacos". #Mexico is one of the most diverse countries on earth. Or, "Rock vs Metal" quiz. Umm, Heavy Metal has historically been considered a derivative form of #HardRock music. Stuff like this is grating on my nerves.
Anyway, #Jesusdiedforyoursins
