Staying married, a happy household, evidence of the parents working hard, childhood sports and watch all competitions, lots of hugs, reward merit, punish only egregious misbehavior, don't yell, restrict social media, monitor messages through 8th grade, the real expectation is college and academic excellence without pressure from parents, get children reading books early, no pacifiers, respond to needs not wants, babies sleep on their own through the night by 6 months, identify develop and support any talent or aptiude, one sport after age 10 is ok, communicate openly and easily with kids through grade 12, allow mistakes, and leave them alone in college. And then hope.

It might take 1 year.

It might take 2 years.

It might take 3 years.

But eventually, you’re going to make it.

And once you do, it won’t matter if it took 4 or 5.

Nobody cares how long it took once the story finally works.

So whatever you do…

Don’t quit.

[Tevin Macharia Mukabana @TevinMacharia]

There is something powerful I noticed during my Bible study this morning while reading the story of Joshua and Caleb.
When Moses sent twelve men to spy the land of Canaan, they all saw the same thing. They saw the same cities, the same land, and the same giants — the sons of Anak.
But when they returned, their reports were completely different.
Ten of the spies came back with fear.
They said the cities were fortified, the people were strong, and the giants were too powerful. They concluded that the land could not be taken.
But Caleb and Joshua had a different confession.
They did not deny the presence of the giants. They saw them too. But their focus was not on the giants — their focus was on God.
They remembered what God had already done.
They remembered how God delivered them from Pharaoh in Egypt.
They remembered how the Red Sea opened before them.
They remembered how God provided food in the wilderness.
So instead of spreading fear, they spoke faith.
They said: “We are well able to go up and take the land.”
This story reveals something very important for us as believers today:
Two people can see the same problem but respond with completely different faith.
Many believers today are surrounded by giants.
Some people are facing the giant of rent and financial pressure.
Some are battling the giant of sickness.
Some are facing the giant of unemployment.
Some are struggling with depression, fear, or addiction.
And sometimes these giants can make people feel like going back to Egypt.
The children of Israel forgot how God fought for them. Because of fear, they even said it would have been better to return to Egypt — the same place where they were slaves.
That is what fear does.
Fear makes people forget God’s past faithfulness.
Sometimes rent pressure can make someone return to compromise.
Sometimes sickness can make someone lose faith in God.
Sometimes lack of employment can make someone return to sin or begin to doubt God.
But today I want to remind someone reading this:
Do not take your eyes off God because of the giants.
The size of the giant does not determine the outcome — the power of God does.
If God delivered you before, He can deliver you again.
If God opened a door before, He can open another one.
If God protected you yesterday, He can protect you today.
What matters is your confession and where your eyes are fixed.
Caleb and Joshua did not allow the giants to control their faith.
They chose to trust God even when the situation looked impossible.
And that should be our mindset as believers.
No matter what you are facing right now —
no matter how big the problem looks —
no matter how impossible the situation seems —
Do not allow the problem to become bigger than God in your mind.
Keep your eyes on Him.
Because the same God who fought for Israel is still fighting for His people today.
And when God fights for you, no giant can stand.
Stay in faith.
Stay in prayer.
Stay in obedience.
Your victory is not determined by the giants in front of you —
it is determined by the God who goes before you. 🙏🔥

The Bible is so clear on how important it is to never look back. Not at an old position, an old ex, an old friendship, or even old ways that God has brought you out of. There are many people in the Bible but in clear words, God tells us to "remember Lot's wife"; who turned into... a pillar of salt! Stuck in time. I pray that when you're tempted to "go back," the spirit of God reminds you that you have too much to look forward to

the biggest change by far in the last 100 years is how fast sacred sundays vanished....

just 50 uyears ago, basially everyone was going to church on Sundays, meeting up with their community, listening to a pastor, hanging with family...

there was no work at all, shops were closed and the day was dedicated to remembering whats most important in life

now sunday is just any other day, full of doomscrolling, emails and more work.

we need to bring back sacred sundays...

a ritual to prevent us from getting lost in our own shit...to take a step back and remember why we're really here

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

I truly believe the massive spike we’ve seen in anxiety goes hand in hand with the movement to take God out of society. Anxiety stems from fear of not having control, whole God promises to have our entire life under control. You take away God, and people are left with no backbone

[Ryan Woodward @_Ryan_Woodward]

Growing up we’re taught we can do anything…til we get older, then we’re told to only do what’s “realistic”. If you listen to what an unhappy society tells you, you will soon join them. God places a dream in all of us, but only a select few will gut out the storm to reach theirs.

WHOLESOME: President Trump just made 13-year-old DJ Daniel an honorary Secret Service agent.

DJ, who dreamed of being a police officer, was given months to live years ago due to a rare cancer.

Bring back parental controls. Bedtimes. Leap frog. Making your child read for 30 minutes daily and during the summer. No electronics at the dinner table. Completing chores before going outside.

Give these kids structure. Something!
