Dolly Parton is dead, and the church never knew what to do with her.

Half my feed is posting rhinestones today. The other half never trusted her, because she would not wear the uniform.

She never preached a sermon.

She just did the works.

One man. Fifty-eight years. In an industry that eats marriages. No scandal reel, no reality show, no trading up. Just Carl, and a promise kept until death did them part.

She could have built towers in Nashville. Instead she built in the mountains she came from, so the people she came from could work.

Two hundred million books. Given away to children, free, no strings, while the rest of us argued about what to read.

A million dollars for a vaccine in the middle of a plague, and she called it what it was: helping.

She was a feminist who never used the word, a superstar who never left home, and a believer who never made you watch her pray.

"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works." James 2:18.

We spent years asking whether she was one of ours.

She never asked whether we were one of hers. She was too busy feeding children.

I do not know her heart. That was never my job. I know her works, because the whole county she came from lives on them.

"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:20.

You want to honor her today? Put down the tribute post. Put a book in a kid's hands. Stay married. Do the works.

That was the whole sermon. She just never said it out loud.

One of the clearest places our Christianity is tested is not in church, online, or around people we want to impress. It is inside our own home, where the public image disappears and the people closest to us see what we are really like.

It is easy to speak graciously to strangers and then be harsh with a spouse. Easy to post Scripture while our children experience impatience, anger, or neglect. Easy to appear humble before the church while demanding our own way behind closed doors.

Jesus repeatedly condemned religion that looked righteous outwardly while concealing corruption within. “You clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self indulgence” (Matthew 23:25).

The gospel must reach farther than our public reputation.

Paul tells husbands to “love your wives and do not be embittered against them” (Colossians 3:19). Women are called to godliness, kindness, purity, and love toward their husbands and children (Titus 2:3–5). Parents are warned not to provoke their children (Ephesians 6:4). Nobody in the home is exempt from the lordship of Christ.

None of this means genuine Christians never fail at home. We do. Sometimes terribly. But when the Holy Spirit exposes us, we repent. We confess. We ask forgiveness. We do not defend a double life as though public ministry somehow excuses private ungodliness.

Our family should not receive the worst version of us while everyone else receives the polished Christian.

The real test of godliness is often what happens when the Bible is closed, the church service is over, the phone camera is off, and nobody is watching except God and the people who live with us.

Christianity that exists everywhere except home deserves serious examination.

@DrWaldmiller @its_The_Dr I got that in 4th grade for continuing to talk in class after the teacher told me to stop. I’m a girl it embarrassed the hell out of me. He would just look in my direction after that and I obeyed. 😆

The popular brand Primal Kitchen was bought by Kraft Heinz, and now 90%+ of their avocado oil products are fraud

UC Davis did testing and found that 93% of chips and 100% of dressings all came back as having no avocado oil, even though they were labeled as having avocado oil

“Kraft Heinz bought out Primal Kitchen for $200 million, and people immediately started to notice differentiation in taste. But what people didn't realize is that the labels started to change what was actually inside the products”

48 of 54 samples were inconsistent with avocado oil in the US Davis testing. Many other brands also failed

- Chips: 93% failed
- Salad dressings: 100% failed
- Mayonnaises: 71% failed

@RealShahriqKhan Favorite book in the Bible.

[Mike Posner @MikePosner]

A year ago, I experienced a series of Christ based synchronistic events including:
1. a friend prophesying in Christ about my life events that I had told him nothing about. 
2. Attending a tiny church service where electricity shot up my spine and I was left with a deep feeling of Oneness that lasted for hours
3. A friend in Christ who brought up an event in my life that happened 9 months before that I was JUST thinking about. 

I interpreted this signs as signals for me to take a step towards Christ.
I did so.
A year ago, I got down on my knees and gave my life to Christ. 

The veracity of these events and whether they could be pure happenstance versus “signs” from God is not that interesting to me. 

What is interesting is what happened afterwards. 

After getting up from my knees, I really didn’t know I now believed in.

As I tend to do, I went all in and started reading my little tale off.

CS Lewis, Mother Teresa, and The New Testament (amongst others) where all devoured but still I was a little confused on what it meant to me to be a Christian.

Some of the doctrine I heard espoused in church felt true to me and some didn’t. 

But in the last few weeks, that has somewhat been filled in for me.

FOR ME; To be a Christian means to aspire with all your mind, body, and soul to live as Christ did. To forgive all other people. To treat ALL other people, especially the least among us (whether that be the poorest of the poor financially or the loneliest of the lonely) with an impossible level of compassion, grace, and most of all LOVE. 

It means to forgive every single person in my life including me and LOVE CHRIST BY LOVING PEOPLE. 

It means to live with an impossibly high standard of goodness towards others, so much so that I NEED God’s help to even get close. 

It means listening to the little voice inside me (that I believe comes from God) that tells me to do right thing, even when I don’t feel like it. 

It’s not just a doctrine or theology, it’s a way of life rooted in faith. 

For me, if it isn’t causing me to LOVE MORE PEOPLE MORE FULLY, it isn’t God. 

A few weeks ago I was baptized…

Christ has not made my life or my heart smaller, but much, much bigger. I’m working on developing more and more of a personal relationship with God. 

Why doest this even matter? Do I think that my job as an aging pop star qualifies me to tell you what to believe? I do not. 
But to not share this would feel inauthentic and like I was hiding a part of myself from my audience and I am not hiding this part of my life. But I am proud of this part of my life.

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.”

- Søren Kierkegaard

Søren Kierkegaard wrote these words in an 1847 letter to his ailing sister-in-law, emphasizing that walking was essential not only for physical health but also for mental clarity. The Danish philosopher, who was known for his daily walks through the streets of Copenhagen, believed that constant movement was one of the best remedies for existential anxiety and mental stagnation.

By saying he could walk away from even his heaviest thoughts, Kierkegaard portrayed walking as more than a simple distraction. He saw it as a powerful way to work through grief, anxiety, and life’s most difficult questions. His words remain a timeless reminder that physical movement can inspire emotional and intellectual progress, while remaining still can leave us feeling trapped.
