STUCKEY: “Why should people have hope?”
VANCE: “Because Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He came down from heaven and is ultimately the author of history … If you actually believe that God himself became man and died to give grace to human beings, you just have to have hope.”
@RealSpitfire Guess what America 🇺🇸 Forgot?
We are amazing and we all should be proud to be Americas!
Watch through the eyes of International visitors here for FIFA- they are reminding us why we are awesome!
The vibes are insane. Driving through the great state of Louisiana on our way to New Orleans. It’s crazy how diverse this country is, every day the scenery looks different.
We decided late night yesterday to go to Bourbon street, so today was a late start on our way to Houston. And yeah that place was a little crazy. I honestly don’t even know how to describe it. Why are people throwing beads at each other everywhere?😭😭
This is all so insane. We found this when we got back to our room. And then someone even sent cupcakes to our room. I genuinely don’t understand how it got to this point. We’re just normal World Cup tourists.😭😭
I assume you asked genuinely, so I’ll answer genuinely.
I live in the country, but I’m certainly part of the demographic that you might see as “boring” like this.
Here’s my Friday:
I wake to the shouts and giggles of two little boys. Get some hugs and some coffee, now it’s time to make money. At about 1pm my sons busted into my office and asked me if I’d take them to play golf. I said yes because I’ve built a life in which I can.
When we get home, I finish work. Later, we have dinner as a family (chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes, it was 🔥). My sons ranked their days on a scale from 1-10 like we do and they said today was a “10.” Whatever high yall city folk get from “going out,” I got it from that.
Then I played basketball with my sons. We watched a little TV on the couch together. Now it’s bath time, bed time, Bible and prayers. As my oldest closed his eyes, he told me how he makes his friends pray before they eat lunch. I felt that “high” again.
Kids are asleep. So now it’s time for mom and dad to do some fun things that married people do.
This is my Friday night. And I’ll be absolutely WIPED by 10pm - it was a full day. And while it might sound insane to you right now, I wouldn’t trade places with any person on Earth.
I have what men search for all their lives; what men would sacrifice everything to have. Some have lost it chasing the things you’re suggesting I’m missing out on.
I mean this with all the love in the world. I’m not defensive. But I know with certainty, what you find rewarding will change the instant you are holding your first child in your arms. And I’m so excited for you to experience it one day. Good luck out there.
Sincerely,
A boring dad
