In Europe right now. Question: why do so many people smoke here still? And many so young.

My eldest is studying sexuality in middle school. During dinner he asked what is “ejaculation?” Then our 6 year old just started screaming the word over and over again. Our 3 year girl old joined in. My wife and I tried to not laugh. But it was impossible. Just another day in the life with 4 kids

Opportunities are everywhere. You just need to be curious, ask questions, make connections, create value. Keep doing that and, over time, you’ll be surprised by what you can accomplish. You might even surpass your greatest expectations.

The cross of Christ and his death is the most beautiful act anyone can perform. When the creator of the universe dies as a substitute for his rebellious, ungrateful creatures so that they have a pathway for forgiveness and salvation, that is the ultimate beauty. It’s beauty, incarnate. It’s love.

@ostrachan @iamfujimura It starts with realizing that you are very far from being kind, approachable, reasonable, self controlled, and humble. And over time, the Lord will craft you into someone more and more like Him, by His power and grace.

When more becomes enough, me becomes us, Jesus becomes God, you will flourish even if you are poor, love if you are hated, live when you die.

@DearS_o_n Ask, and you’ll likely receive.

Stories limit or liberate us. So be aware of the story you’re telling yourself and intentional to tell great, beautiful, and true ones instead. Seek them out; live them out. For me there is no greater story than the gospel. When you imbibe it, it will transform you. It won’t just save you; it will help you soar.
