Me: at a Japanese aquarium.
peaceful day, families everywhere, soft piano music.
then I notice one employee SPEED WALKING past us carrying bucket.
Employee: Excuse me.
another employee runs by, then another.
suddenly whole aquarium staff moving with Avengers-level urgency.
Me: ...
Friend: Something happened.
we follow crowd to penguin section.
absolute chaos, one penguin missing.
not metaphorically, ACTUALLY escaped.
staff members whispering intensely into walkie-talkies.
tiny child beside me: The criminal has escaped.
Me: WHY DID HE SAY IT LIKE THAT.
then I spot the penguin.
bro is BOOKING IT down hallway at shocking speed.
sliding on stomach around corners like furry torpedo.
staff chasing respectfully.
one employee holding fish like hostage negotiator.
Employee: Kenta please.
PENGUIN'S NAME IS KENTA.
Kenta ignores authority completely, runs directly into souvenir shop.
now people buying keychains while rogue penguin commits grand theft atmosphere.
finally old aquarium worker appears.
everyone parts ways dramatically.
this man kneels down calmly.
pulls out single sardine.
Kenta stops immediately.
walks over with zero shame.
Old Worker: Enough adventure.
penguin allows himself to be carried away like drunk friend after party.
crowd applauds.
Friend whispering: He'll do it again.
Honestly? absolutely.
As we prepare to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary, I am calling for 50 days of prayer—from this Friday, May 15, through July 4. We have one pastor from every state who will lead us in prayer for America at noon every day here on my X page or at https://t.co/kjOvqLJdJT. Let’s join together in PRAYER for our country! “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12).
Today we enter into a period of mourning for the 8 innocent children who lost their lives in Shreveport last month.
We will never forget the precious lives of

May they rest in eternal peace.
Don’t go chasing waterfalls...cautiously approach and be careful of slippery conditions. In fact, you may just want to stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to.
Joseph of Arimathea pulled a corpse off a cross with his bare hands.
Blood under his fingernails. The weight of a dead man sagging into his arms.
He wrapped God in linen, pressed the fabric into wounds that were still wet.
Nicodemus brought seventy-five pounds of burial spice. A king's funeral for a man the world just murdered.
They carried Him into a hole in the rock and rolled the stone shut.
And everything you've ever done went in with Him.
Every night you can't sleep because of what you did. Every morning, you can't look in the mirror. The thing you did to her. The thing you did to them. The
lie you've been carrying so long it feels like bone.
The version of you that drinks alone and pretends tomorrow will be different.
That man was buried with Christ.
Stone sealed. Done.
Not managed. Not in therapy. Not on a payment plan with God where you slowly earn your way back. Buried. In a tomb. Under rock. Gone.
Three days of silence. Three days of a cold body in the dark.
Then the stone moved.
And when He walked out, the grave clothes were folded on the slab. He didn't stumble out tangled in death. He left it sitting there like a man who's done
with the clothes he used to wear.
Lazarus needed someone to unwrap him. Death still clung to him even after he was breathing.
Jesus folded His own burial linen and walked out clean.
That's the difference between religion and resurrection. Religion unwraps you slowly. Asks you to manage your sin. Attend the class. Read the book. Try harder next week.
Resurrection says the man who walked into that tomb is dead. The man who walked out doesn't know him.
You're not fixing the old you. The old you is in a sealed tomb in Jerusalem, and he's not coming back.
The man reading this, the one who thinks he's too far gone, you're not too far. You're already buried. The funeral happened two thousand years
ago.
Now get up. The stone's already moved. The linen's already folded.
Walk out.
NEWS: Elon Musk's @boringcompany has announced that the company will be building three tunnels for free.
Locations & tunnel purpose:
• NOLA Loop: New Orleans (passenger transport via vehicles)
• Ravens Loop: Baltimore (passenger transport via vehicles)
• University Hills Loop: Dallas (passenger transport via vehicles)
The Boring Company will pay to build all three, pending due diligence and feasibility, as well as two additional tunnels: Hendersonville Utility Tunnel (Hendersonville, TN) and Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel (San Antonio, TX), if those last two are feasible and can get approved.
@BrettFavre Sure would have been!! I hear you’re speaking in Bossier on the 22nd. All men’s conference. Wish I could come! Myranda and Maddie’s mom! 💚💛
