On this D-Day, June 6, we remember the courage of those who stormed the beaches for freedom. At the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA, this brave soldier reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice.
“Thank you, Lord, for the heroes You raised up that day. May we never forget their faith and valor. God bless America.” 🙏🇺🇸

@annecgw@7NewsDC We’re already doing that to the tune of $200 Billion+ per year. The money spent to regild is a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of billions in fraud uncovered during the past 16 months. Regild away!
Lord, You’ve given each of us a limited number of days on this earth. We can’t add more time to our lives, but we can sure add more life to our time.
Help me not just exist, but truly live fully present, walking in faith, loving the people right in front of me, and making every moment count for Your glory.
I don’t want to reach the end and realize I was just going through the motions. I want to live with purpose. Amen.
@FightofFaith Amen!
John 14:9 (NIV)
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?”
@SecretaryBurgum@POTUS Great work Doug. My friends in DC metro are elated. Albeit secretly, due to their associate’s who can’t like anything good done by this administration.
Grief is just love with nowhere to go on this earth, but it finds its perfect home in the arms of God. Some days grief sneaks up on you, even 30 years later. I’ve now lived longer without my father than I did with him, yet I see his impact on my life every single day. Losing him made my childhood memories louder and more precious, teaching me to cherish every throwback as a gift from the Lord, knowing I’ll be with him again one day in eternity.”
These moments aren’t distractions from “real ministry.” They are the ministry.
I’ve wasted far too much time and energy trying to do something great for God, when all He ever wanted was for me to be faithfully present. Holiness isn’t found in a packed schedule. It’s found in love that notices, love that lingers, love that stops.
The most righteous thing I can do some days isn’t another meeting or project. It’s being fully where I am, with the people right in front of me.
That’s effectiveness.
And I believe that’s what God truly values.
God Doesn’t Want You Busy, He Wants You Effective.
For years I believed that constant busyness was a sign of holiness. The more I did “for the Lord,” the more spiritual I thought I was. So I filled my calendar, chased important-looking work, and told myself I was being faithful, while quietly neglecting the very people and moments right in front of me.
I’ve come to see that was a lie.
It’s my son wanting his dad to play 1v1 basketball after dinner.
It’s my daughter still reaching for my hand so we can take a walk.
It’s stopping for the elderly veteran holding a cardboard sign; not just giving him money, but looking him in the eye and reminding him he’s seen.
It’s noticing the woman in the grocery store wiping away tears because her mother just passed, and quietly praying for her right there.
