"Women, I have a challenge for you too:
Be virtuous.
Our strength is found in God's design for our role.
We are the guardians. We are the encouragers. We are the preservers.
Guard your heart, everything you do flows from it.
And if you're a mother, please recognize: that is the single most important ministry you have."
- Erika Kirk
My dear American friends,
We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.
In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.
All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.
You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.
Never stop fighting for it.

5 Stoic lessons from Seneca:
1. We suffer more in imagination than in reality
2. Associate only with people who improve you
3. The greatest remedy for anger is delay
4. Value your time more than your possessions
5. Death is not in the distant future. We are dying every day
Lesson I learned from playing poker:
You can get dealt the best cards and still lose. You can get dealt terrible cards and still win.
Your choices are all that matter.
Everyone should, from time to time, step back a little bit, and ask themselves why they are doing what they are doing.
Don't live on autopilot. One day, you will wake up, notice you are already old, be disappointed, wondering how much more you could have done.
I look up to mamas that continue to breastfeed/pump consistently even when they go back to work. How do yโall do that? I am feeling so tired and defeated. #mamadiaries
Missed work today coz I had to hold Mack all night with his stuffy nose. Iโm so thankful I got him to see the doctor today (there were 2 extra slots only!) and it was nothing more than just nasal congestion. Momming is so hard. ๐ข
