I grew up going to this one next to our backyard. I always wondered how iconic it was to south tulsa cause to me it was just that big building we got in trouble for playing in on weekdays if they left the doors unlocked.

"Well, how about that"
Full-length colorized historical photo of a baseball player smiling on the field. He wears a dark blue long-sleeve uniform with "CHICAGO" arched across the chest in white letters, loose-fitting blue pants, a matching baseball cap with thin white stripes, high white socks, and dark cleats. He stands with his hands on his hips against a blurred background of stadium seating.

I think what they should do is let the Islamic Society of Norman paint their logo on it since they're located in the same block.

I remember thinking, God, don't put that guilt on me. I've given you the best 40 years of my life. Besides, I can't save the whole world. I'm doing the best I can. I can't save this whole world. And that's where I remember-- and I believe it was God saying, precisely, you can't save this world. That's what we did.

You think we're sucking them into hell? Can't you see they're already there? That's hell. You keep creating and inventing that for yourselves. I'm taking them into my presence. And I thought, well, I'll be. That's weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. That's where the pain comes from.

We do that to each other. And we do it to ourselves. Then I saw emergency rooms. I saw divorce court. I saw jails and prisons. I saw how we create hell on this planet for each other. For the first time in my life, I did not see God as the inventor of hell.

as a poor person in a red state with many poor friends in blue states i think this one is more stupid
Class consciousness is not a party, plan or something you can vote on. to pretend a poor person in a rural red state is going to have the same beliefs as a poor person in an urban blue area is a reach
