Connection steadies us. A real conversation with someone who knows you can do more for a hard day than a hundred distractions.

New goals don't change your life. New daily thinking does.

For generations, kids had three worlds:
1. Home
2. School
3. A third place; the park, the field, the neighborhood, the church gym, the rec center.
That third place is where kids learned: • how to solve problems without an adult
• how to read emotions and faces
• how to handle conflict
• how to lose
• how to make friends
• how to negotiate and compromise
• how to sit with frustration
• how to just be a kid
But today?
Most kids' third place is a screen.
A screen doesn’t teach boundaries.
A screen doesn’t teach emotional regulation.
A screen doesn’t teach cooperation or conflict skills.
A screen doesn’t teach patience or self-control.
So all the social and emotional skills kids used to practice before they walked into school…
they have to learn inside school now.
And that’s why:
behavior feels different
attention feels different
emotions feel bigger
classroom management is tougher.
This isn’t a “kids these days” problem.
It’s a cultural shift.
When the third place disappears, childhood changes.
And schools end up carrying what the community used to teach.
Until kids get their third place back, we’re going to keep seeing the fallout

Happy 4/20
Don't confuse the two!

Education isn’t broken because of teachers. It’s broken because we ask teachers to be counselors, social workers, parents, and miracle workers—while still demanding perfect test scores. Fix the system, not the people holding it together.

Jesus said to “love your neighbor.”

Not control your neighbor.
Not mock your neighbor.
Not shame your neighbor.
Not dehumanize your neighbor.
Not demonize your neighbor.
Not defeat your neighbor.

Jesus said to “love your neighbor.”

On Wednesday night, at the Democratic National Convention, America was introduced to 17 year-old Gus Walz, the son of Gwen Walz and Gov. Tim Walz, who instantly became a national treasure due to an unexpectedly emotional moment of pride and joy for his father.

Women don’t owe the world children.

They don’t owe men babies.

And they don’t owe you an explanation.

Here’s one by the extremely underrated Chris Knight. The pride of Slaughters, KY. He was named an honorary Texan by the Gov in 2006. This is a great tale of doing what needs to be done and keeping your mouth shut about it.
