A year ago today at 8:17 AM, our world was forever changed with the arrival of the world-famous, galaxy-renowned Prince Baby Hayden Thomas.
Little man, from the very first moment you entered our lives, you brought a joy we never knew was possible. Your bright smile melts your Poppy’s and Nana’s hearts every single time. When you reach up for me with those trusting eyes, wanting your “Poppy” to take you places, pure happiness overflows. Your sweet personality, those precious hugs and kisses, the way you tilt your head and flash that big smile, and your joyful laughter — you fill every room with light.
One day, sweet boy, you’ll truly understand just how much love we have for you. You are deeply loved — today, tomorrow, and always.
Happy Birthday, Prince Hayden Thomas. You are a gift beyond measure. ❤️
I only wish your Mimi Evans could hold you here on earth. She would have been absolutely amazed, covering that precious face with endless kisses, saying, “There’s nothing like him!” You carry her beautiful spirit and loving heart in you, and you remind us of her every single day.
But I believe with all my heart that God allows her to see you from Heaven. She smiles down on you with overwhelming pride and joy, watching over her great-grandson with the same endless love she poured out on us.
Just Truth and Facts 🤷♂️
Over the last two-plus years, I intentionally stepped back from initiating calls, texts, and messages with friends and family.
I’ve always tried to be loyal, stay connected, and invest in relationships. But I finally realized I had been chasing connections that weren’t truly mutual. When you’re the only one consistently reaching out, checking in, and making the effort—while the other person never reciprocates—it’s not really a relationship. It’s one-sided pursuit.
During this time of stepping back, only one or two people reached out to me. That spoke volumes.
For most of my life, I’ve worked hard to earn respect, show love, and make people proud. But I see now that much of it has been a one-way street. At the end of the day, the vast majority simply don’t care as much as I thought they did.
It’s been a sobering but freeing realization. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop pouring energy into places where it’s never returned.
Just food for thought.
If the cup says it has to be true… then it’s true! 🤷♂️😁
We took our world famous, galaxy renowned Prince Baby Hayden on his first trip to Bass Pro Shop with Poppy and Nana to get his lifetime hunting and fishing license. What a special day!
I just wish my mom (his Mimi Evans) could see him. She would’ve been amazed — “That’s nothing like him!” — and she would’ve hugged and kissed that sweet face right off. He reminds us of her love constantly.
But I believe God lets her see him from heaven, and she smiles down on this precious boy every single time. ❤️
Ready to celebrate the 250th anniversary of this great republic we are blessed to call home!
July 1st belongs to our world-famous, galaxy-renowned Prince Baby Hayden Thomas as he celebrates his 1st birthday. Then we honor the birth of our nation on July 4th — 250 years of freedom, faith, and God-given liberty. And closing out this special season, July 10th is my own birthday and Ashley the 14th. 
What a powerful month of blessings, family, and gratitude to the Lord for His goodness in our lives and in the land we love.
God bless America, and God bless our precious family!
PROVERBS 20:7 NKJV
• [7] The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.
You are a righteous man who walks in integrity. Your children are blessed after you.
Happy Father’s Day
From we’re on our way Rodney and Teresa 
It truly is a beautiful sight! 🇺🇸 That bold red, white, and blue (with the gold accents) on the new Air Force One radiates strength, pride, and American excellence. It’s a powerful symbol of putting our nation first again — a flying reminder of the greatness God has blessed us with as a country.
Great choice President @realDonaldTrump in the colors 🇺🇸👍🏻 just think this will be in your Presidential library in the near future… definitely will have to make a trip to Florida to see it.. unless someway you would bless me and let me see it before then. God bless you, President Trump. 
Happy Flag Day, America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And a very Happy Birthday to our President, @realDonaldTrump ! 🎂🇺🇸
What a powerful day to celebrate the symbol of our freedom and the leader who continues to fight for it.
Now I understand why so many on the other side are upset… because today is a day of pure American pride, strength, and victory!
I can’t wait for the festivities and the fight tonight at the White House. Let’s honor Old Glory and keep standing strong for this great nation.
God bless America and God bless President Trump! 🙏🇺🇸

Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸
Today we honor Old Glory, first adopted on June 14, 1777 — a beautiful symbol of freedom, sacrifice, and God’s blessings on this nation.
As believers, we declare: “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Let us thank the Lord for America, honor our defenders, and pray for His continued favor and protection.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this land and our flag. Bless the United States of America, unite us under Your truth, and keep us one nation under God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God bless you, your family, and the USA! 🙏❤️

Choose Wisely — Both Your Friends and Your Walk with God
The old saying is true: Choose your friends carefully, for they can steer you toward either blessing or ruin. The people you spend the most time with will either draw you closer to God or slowly pull you away from Him. Scripture warns us again and again about the power of influence:
• Proverbs 12:26 – “The righteous choose their friends with care, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.”
• Proverbs 13:20 – “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.”
• 1 Corinthians 15:33 – “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’”
Bad company doesn’t just annoy us — it erodes our character, weakens our faith, and can lead us down paths we never intended to walk. Godly friendships, on the other hand, sharpen us, encourage holiness, and help us grow in wisdom and righteousness.
Yet even when we surround ourselves with wise and godly people, we still need something deeper. True and lasting change begins with repentance — a sincere turning away from sin. Repentance is more than a feeling; it is a deliberate choice that involves three powerful steps:
1. Recognizing your sin for what it truly is.
2. Feeling genuine godly sorrow over it.
3. Making a firm decision, with God’s help, to change direction.
Forgiveness — both from God and from others — flows most freely when it meets authentic repentance. This means more than simply saying “I’m sorry.” It includes offering a heartfelt apology, making restitution where possible, and actively changing your behavior going forward.
Here is the bottom line:
The most important decision you will ever make is to repent and get right with God. Humble yourself. Confess your sins. Turn from them. Receive His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
Choose heaven over hell.
Choose light over darkness.
Choose obedience over compromise.
Today is the day.
Choose wisely in your friendships and in your daily walk with God. Both choices matter — and both lead to life.
Hi friends,
When God finishes fulfilling every promise He’s spoken over your life, the enemy will bitterly regret ever coming against you. The Lord will restore everything the devil stole — and He’ll do it with interest! 💥💫
May God fight your battles, scatter your enemies, and give you a mighty victory for His glory! 🙌👊
Have a #blessed and powerful evening .
#MemorialDay
🇺🇸 #MemorialDay 2026
Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.
Memorial Day began after the Civil War as a solemn day to decorate the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers. Over time, it grew to embrace every American who has fallen in military service — from the fields of Gettysburg to the mountains of Afghanistan. What started as Decoration Day has become our national day of remembrance.
While this weekend also marks the unofficial beginning of summer — a time for family gatherings, cookouts, and joyful moments — let us never allow celebration to overshadow solemn gratitude.
Remember.
Remember those who laid down their lives so we could live in freedom. Remember the husbands, wives, sons, daughters, and friends who never came home. Freedom is never free — it has always been purchased with a price. As Jesus Himself declared:
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)
Let us give thanks to God for their sacrifice and pray for comfort and strength for every Gold Star family that carries the heavy burden of their absence.
To every man and woman currently serving in our Armed Forces — thank you. Your willingness to stand in the gap protects the liberties we too often take for granted. To their families who sacrifice alongside them: we see you, we honor you, and we pray for you.
May we live lives worthy of their sacrifice.
May we never forget.
May God continue to bless the United States of America — the land of the free and the home of the brave.
God bless our fallen. God bless our troops. God bless the USA. 🇺🇸
Breaking news!
This is sad praying for Tulsi Gabbard and her husband!!
Statement by President Trump!
Unfortunately, after having done a great job, Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving the Administration on June 30th. Her wonderful husband, Abraham, has been recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, and she, rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together. I have no doubt he will soon be better than ever. Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her. Her highly respected Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lukas, will serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence. President DONALD J. TRUMP
“The person who owns their mistakes doesn’t stay chained to their past—they rise above it.
Admitting fault isn’t weakness; it’s the key to freedom.
Learn the lesson, release the regret, forgive yourself (and others if needed), and keep pressing forward.
Your best days aren’t behind you—they’re ahead. Keep it moving!”

Fake friends and some family are like shadows on a sunny day—they stretch close beside you in the golden light of your brightest moments, but vanish completely when the storms roll in and darkness falls- when they are needed the most…. 
“Pro tip: Want your Toyota team to dominate? Just sue #NASCAR. Apparently that’s the fastest way to turn stock car racing into Toyota Auto Racing.”🤷♂️
“I fully support President @realDonaldTrump —I’ve voted for him three times and agree with his direction. Iran should have been dealt with years ago.
That said, I’m worried about the 2026 midterms on November 3. The stock market has been up and down this year with recent drops, many 401(k)s are lower, and gas prices are up around $3.85–$3.88 nationally because of higher demand and tensions.
Voters usually vote based on their wallets—if things feel tight, it hurts Republicans. If Democrats take back the House and Senate, they’ll try to impeach President Trump and VP Vance, putting the Speaker ( a democrat) in the White House. That would be a disaster.
We can’t let that happen. The current cabinet needs to focus on fixing the economy, achieving energy independence, and showing strong leadership. What do you think— what can President Trump and his cabinet do and etc…. What can we do if anything?
People can conceal many things from others—secrets, motives, actions—especially in large cities or anonymous settings. In a tight-knit small community, it’s much harder; word travels fast, and eyes are always watching.
But no matter where you are or how cleverly you hide…
Nothing can be hidden from God.
He sees everything, knows everything, and hears everything. As Hebrews 4:13 declares:
“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” (NIV)
His omniscience is perfect and inescapable—He discerns every thought, every intention of the heart (Psalm 139:1-4). There’s no darkness deep enough, no mask thick enough, no excuse strong enough to veil anything from His holy gaze.
This truth should humble us, convict us of sin, and yet bring profound comfort: the God who sees all also loves us deeply, sent His Son to redeem what we could never hide or fix on our own.
Live transparently before Him today—He already knows, and His grace is greater still. 🙏
