🚨APPRECIATION TWEET🚨
My Wife: @VeronicaBurgio
My life WITHOUT you pales in comparison to life WITH you.
You're an amazing wife and an even better mother. You support and believe in me as I chase my dream, my biggest fan. I couldn't ask for a better woman.

Stop treating resurrection power like a history lesson.
It’s a present-day reality.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
To whomever is reading this, God Loves you!
He calls us out of the wilderness and into His Kingdom.
He put on flesh and died so that our sins could be forgiven so that we may have eternal life with Him!
Put your faith in Christ, put on His yolk for it is light, He will be our rest when we are weary.
He will uphold us and strengthen us, for He is our God!
He will not abandon us in the realm of the dead, He will prepare a table for us in the midst of our enemies!
Faith of a mustard seed can move mountains!!!
#ChristIsKing
Amen!
Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.
My son texted me the letter "X" at 11 PM.
That is our agreement.
It means: "Things are getting weird. Get me out. But make it look like you are the bad guy."
I called him immediately. I used my "angry dad" voice.
"I told you to clean the garage before you left! Get home right now or you're grounded for a month!"
He hung up, rolled his eyes at his friends, and said, "My dad is such a psycho. I gotta go."
He got in the car. He was safe. He didn't have to be a "snitch" or "uncool."
He just had to be the kid with the annoying dad.
I will wear that badge every single day if it keeps him safe.
“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”
The message came in at 11 PM:
“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”
Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.
New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”
She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.
Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.
I stopped the interview and said:
“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
We hired her.
She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.
Why?
Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.
Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.
Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.
If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.
You’re filtering for privilege.
