What I’ve learned since 2008:
If you do everything the right way. Save money, work hard, and pay your taxes you lose in the end.
If you grift, scam, and lie your way through life or by some chance you’re unbelievably wealthy you win.
There is no in between.
Just like sports, life comes with seasons.

I'm old enough to know a government grift / power grab when I see one.
I was a kid and was told we MUST build up a massive pile of nukes "to beat Russia in the arms race".
Before that, we had to spend gazillions of dollars to beat them in "the space race".
Then we needed to have a War on Drugs.
Then a War on Terror.
Then they brought the Russian boogeyman back out and we need to sink countless billions down the corrupt money furnace called Ukraine.
Now we need to run around the planet eliminating anyone Israel calls a bad guy.
Now we're told we need a million data centers, sucking up our fresh water and quadrupling our energy costs, to "beat China in the AI race".
And finally, we need to allow our governments to install Flock cameras on every street corner; our loss of privacy is somehow worth it if we can track a bad guy as he drives across town?
AI and Data Centers are so important for our government because they are for mass surveillance. Period.
Donald Trump has earned more money in his first and second year, in his second term as president, than in the previous 60 years of his life, per Bloomberg.
Being mean is bad for your health.
A single hostile interaction:
+ locks you in a cortisol penalty box for 60-90 min
+ suppresses recovery capacity
+ elevates your heart rate
Kindness conserves your energy resources.
Darryl Strawberry says World Series rings, All-Star success and fame still couldn't fill what he calls the "empty void" in his life.
The MLB legend shares how his mother's prayers and his wife, Tracy, led him back to church, where he says he found new life through faith in Jesus Christ.
"Jesus is the way. All these other ways that we go, we find ourselves in darkness. We find ourselves trying to fill the empty void with all this stuff, and it just does not fill it."
WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU AFRAID OF
- Death : We’re all gonna die.
- Bankruptcy : You can make it all back.
- Shame : Everyone will forget in a week.
- Rejection : It happens to everyone.
- Failure : It’s part of the path.
- Judgment : They’ll judge anyway.
- Losing people : Not all are meant to stay.
- Making mistakes : You’ll survive them.
- Taking risks : Regret hurts more.
Live every day like it's your last day.
Flock cameras need to be banned from the United States, period. It’s clear & obvious mass surveillance state, Orwellian shit. In my small town alone, there are hundreds of them, many pointed at preschools, parks, etc. They are clearly NOT just gathering license plate data.
The U.S. and Iran have a deal to work on a deal. During the next 60 days, there'll be a ceasefire and the Strait of Hormuz will be open. In other words, the same situation we had before the war, only lives have been lost, oil is far more expensive, and about $100B has been spent.
You should be able to read your own bloodwork. Not wait 2 weeks for a 7-minute appointment, to get told “everything looks normal” with no explanation.
Your health data should belong to you.
The storm that you are in will end. It will run its course. All you have to do is keep fighting. Keep believing. Make the proper adjustments.. God has something special in store for you and you will see the sunshine on your life if you don’t give up.
What happened to tarrif checks?
What happened to getting rid of income tax?
What happened with the investigation into Ilhan Omar's immigration?
What happened with the Fort Knox gold audit?
What happened to $1.50 gas?
What happened to no new wars?
It's all political theater.
I just walked out of church after great service , and I can’t shake this feeling… we’re wasting way too much of the little time we’ve been given. Not because we’re lazy, but because we’re distracted by things that don’t matter. We stress over money, opinions, validation, social media… we hold onto resentment, bitterness, anger, things people said years ago, and none of it serves any purpose in God’s kingdom. None of it is coming with you when this life is over.
The Bible openly acknowledges the tension of seeing wicked people prosper while the righteous suffer. In passages like Psalm 73 and Jeremiah 12, people question God honestly and feel discouraged by this apparent injustice. The turning point is realizing that this success is temporary, while faithfulness has lasting, eternal value. Jesus reinforces this in Matthew 5 by redefining “blessing” beyond immediate, visible outcomes.
what you see now isn’t the full picture..justice and meaning unfold over a longer timeline. 🙏🏿
The world said this about Jesus.
“Some said, “He’s demon possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man like that?”
John 10:20
God The Father said this to Jesus.
“Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.”
Mark 9:7
Jesus reminds us as His Followers
“—If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!”
Matthew 10:25
The world calls us crazy, but God calls us Sons and Daughters.
