#MLK said, “I have a dream” not “I have a plan." Our dreams change the course of history, not just our plans. Keep dreaming.

Florida State is the first Undefeated Power 5 Conference Champion to not get into the College Football Playoff. Despite the ACC having a 6-4 record against the SEC this year. Despite their defense not giving up 30 points in a single game all year. Despite their offense having more yards in the ACC Championship than Michigan had in the Big 10 Championship. Despite holding Louisville’s Top 20 Offense to 6 points. Despite beating 4 Top 25 teams. Despite finding a way to win with their Back up QB in a bitter rivalry game. Despite finding a way to win with their 3rd string QB in the ACC Championship Game. Florida State EARNED their spot in the CFP on the field. With and Without Jordan Travis. You don’t punish or diminish the work of 100+ players and coaches because 1 player is not there on the field calling the shots. FSU always answered the bell this year and their response to losing their QB was to play POSSESSED ON DEFENSE. It’s an absolute travesty that they were excluded from the CFP.

I love seeing pictures and hearing reports of churches being full today. Lots of people were forecasting the end or dramatic decline of the church after the pandemic.

But I wouldn’t ever bet against the Church, for the head of the Church is the one who is risen from the dead.

@pastorjgkell Oh no, that’s #chattanooga 😂

“The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.”

Those who have affected me the most, didn’t tell me what to do, but rather reminded me who I was.
