I love making haste to the fence every Palm Sunday morning with a fresh, crispy bright-orange carrot to say, “It’s your best day, Donk! The Lord had need of you!”
The seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest!

It’s estimated there are <3000 Christians in Afghanistan. Under the Taliban (mid-90s) Christian converts from Islam were declared insane & institutionalized, imprisoned, or killed. Now, as the Taliban surges, PRAY: miracles, strength, peace, faithfulness.
Y’all, we cannot be part of constructing a system then sit at our desks oblivious to what multiple people are doing in the name of it. I’m slack jawed. If you helped build something that, for many, turned into a Frankenstein, go get your lasso, Victor, and pull that monster in.
I wish I was mature enough not to watch the Oprah interview of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tonight on CBS. But I’m not. Thing is, I have a house guest and I don’t know if she likes watching TV.
