In 1697, Natives kidnapped Hannah Duston from her home in Massachusetts. Then they bashed her newborn baby's head against a tree. Today, people want to vilify her, because she killed her captors in their sleep and scalped them.
Hannah Duston simply did what any true English mother would do.
Pro-Tip: many American Indian tribes weren't exactly nice people.
This week, as the preliminary hearing rolls on and we're all forced to relive his tragic murder, I find myself wanting to remember Charlie's incredible life. Our team put this CK tribute together, and they did a great job. I hope you'll watch it.
My 13 yo son has become a huge fan, he started playing himself a couple of years ago, he loved watching every game. Thank you for your wonderful examples! To the moon!!!
Dear America... Thank you for standing with us and for believing in this team. Thank you for believing in the future of soccer in this country.
A toda nuestra gente... Gracias por su apoyo y por creer en este equipo. Gracias por creer en el futuro del fútbol en nuestro país.
It has become a modern idea that marriage even when children are involved, is treated as something that is only between two spouses
But this is not true
When children exist inside a marriage their needs, their wants, and what is best for them matters even in that marriage
This is why infidelity is not just betraying your spouse, it is also betraying your children
This is why your personal happiness and wants are not the only thing that matters
Marriage is not just a private romance between two adults, it is the foundation of a family, and that foundation comes with certain obligations that often require us to place someone else’s good before our own desires.
Love is not measured by how well we pursue our own happiness, instead love is measured by what we are willing to sacrifice for the people we made promises to, and the people entrusted to our care
It was honor to root for a team that unapologetically gave glory, honor, & praise to Jesus Christ throughout the World Cup, in victory & defeat.
God bless the United States Men’s National Team 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?
You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.
At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:
“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”
The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.
Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction—moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.
It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.
And that deliberate, cutting language, paired with emotional steadiness, is precisely why the words still land 250 years later.
Today, we’re blessed to be the inheritors of the great nation those steady hands wrote into existence.
Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
“Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.”
George Washington

God blessed America,
by His grace we’ll continue this great bastion of freedom, hope, and faith. 🇺🇸
If anyone doubts that Ben Franklin was a man of faith at the end of his life, read what he said at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
“The manner in which the whole of this business had been conducted was such a miracle in human affairs, that if I had not been in the midst of it, and seen all the movements, I could not have comprehended how it was effected. I had no doubt of our finally succeeding in this war by the blessing of God. This is the greatest revolution the world has ever seen....I have lived a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men! If it had not been for the justice of our cause, and the consequent interposition of Providence in which we had faith, we must have been ruined. If I had ever before been an atheist, I should now have been convinced of the being and government of a Deity. It is He who abases the proud and favors the humble! May we never forget his goodness to us, and may our future conduct manifest our gratitude.” --Benjamin Franklin
