Kindness, is one of the most underrated traits in the world. We focus so much on material things and attention, but forget that it is kindness that brings us a fulfillment that warms our soul. - The better man project
Brownsville Veterans Memorial did it! The Chargers become the first Rio Grande Valley team since 2003 Port Isabel — and the first Brownsville team since 1951 — to make the state semifinals! What a moment for the RGV. #TXHSFB
Food for thought: PSA be careful tagging and not tagging college coaches. It's OK not to tag us, but then don't expect us to take you after you don't get the response you wanted. #notabackupplan
Sad. God gets the glory on the good and bad days. His promises and plans are always better than our human comprehension. We could have nothing on this earth, but if we have Christ we are fully satisfied. He’s already given the greatest blessing we could ever have. 🫶🏼

“The word says who Jesus is, He’s knocking on the door, all you gotta do is get up.”
This is a powerful story told by Saints linebacker @demario__davis. A must watch!
The Jesus Revolution Baptism of 2023 was the largest baptism in American history. 4500 people were baptized. It’s a day I will never forget. Here is a ‘behind the scenes’ video of some of the lives that were changed.
NO ONE IS TOO FAR GONE
No one is too far gone for God’s love to reach them.
It’s been said, “God’s love is chasing every one of us down, and the sooner we let it catch us, the better.”
God is full of grace and mercy and He says that today is the day of salvation. If you need to come home to faith in Jesus, I pray you will respond to the Spirit of God tugging on your heart today.
💀 🏴☠️ PIRATE’S COVE
The waters of baptism signify death to living for ourself, and raising to new life with Christ.
Here are some pictures from the largest baptism in US history which took place yesterday at Pirates Cove, the historic site of the Jesus Movement in Southern California.
God is still speaking, moving and doing a new thing!
The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day:
Today marks the 103rd anniversary of the opening of Sul Ross State Normal College (now Sul Ross State University) in Alpine, Texas. Sixty-seven students enrolled in the first class on June 14, 1920. They studied education and liberal arts subjects leading to teacher's certificates and junior college diplomas. The school was renamed Sul Ross State Teachers College in 1925, the year the first bachelor's degree was awarded. In 1945, after the curriculum had expanded, enrollment had increased, and more facilities had been constructed, the name was changed to Sul Ross State College. In 1969 the college became Sul Ross State University. I'd love to attend school there and get a master's degree or two.
Mom shares heartfelt message about her daughter who wanted to be a boy.
PLEASE READ AND RETWEET:
"This is my middle daughter Hope at 3 and 18. When she was about 2.5 yrs old, she told me she wanted to be a boy. This continued in different forms until she was 12-13. She asked me once: “When am I going to grow a winkie?” (Side note: she had an older sister and brother and had seen it all as I often bathed them together!). I explained that she wouldn’t because she was a girl. She told me she wanted to tee-tee standing up, so I explained how that wouldn’t work for her. Unfazed, she decided to try it! It didn’t work, and life went on.
She was all tomboy! She played sports and was hyper-competitive. Almost all of her friends until 7th grade were boys. She only wore boys underwear! She had to wear a dress on Sundays as we attended church and that was our rule but she often walked into her class, yanked her dress up and announced, “I’m still wearing my boy underwear.” I never argued with her about her clothes. I remember her coming home in 1st grade and asking me what a “lesvian” was because some boys had called her that on the bus. I explained it was when a girl loved another girl. She said, “Oh!” That was it! She was 6 and didn’t need a discussion on sex at that point.
We often talked about her being able to do anything a boy could do, and she could still be a girl. She was a 3 sport athlete, 3 sport captain, All-state volleyball player, and jr college (scholarship) basketball player. However, she was still a girl and a freaking awesome one! When she was 12-13, she asked for girl panties but still only wore athletic clothes.
She’s as beautiful today at 23 as she is athletic. She loves to snowboard, hike and still loves sports. We allowed her to work out who she was with perimeters that allowed her to be successful. She’s engaged to a great guy whom she will marry August 19.
I would have NEVER medicated her, surgically changed her, hormonally altered her or done ONE thing differently than what we did. I don’t care what the world, social media, trans activists push: these are KIDS!
To do anything that could change them before their brains are fully developed is ridiculous and honestly, abusive! Guide them, talk to them, advocate for them, accept them but for the love of all that is right, do not CHANGE them.
I just read a heartbreaking story about a person who physically transitioned as a young adult who is now 17 years away from that and says it was their BIGGEST mistake. Hope has often said how different her life would be for her and us if she was growing up today because the pressure to transition her would be so great. I can assure you that would have had zero affect on us.
PARENTS: please don’t get swept up in this madness. Be the voice of reason your child needs. PLEASE!!
