“Don't let pessimists ruin your ability to see the good in life. These are the "good old days" because they're literally the only days we've got.” - TL Jones
We condemn the actions of Don Lemon and the group of activists who stormed Cities Church today in St. Paul, Minnesota, in clear violation of the FACE Act. Christians everywhere should demand that the Department of Justice arrest those who participated. We must protect religious liberty in this country.
Reminded this morning I have learned much more in the valley of self inflicted failure than I ever learned on the mountain top of success.
God is faithful.
Everyone wants to hunt the mountains til they get there. Til they gotta climb. It’s hard. Takes grit. Takes work. Takes patience. Takes training. “It must be nice” goes out the window. There’s blood, sweat, and tears. If you wanna kill a Bull or an old mountain buck you gotta work for it. It’s windy. It’s cold. At the end of the day it’s a physical and mental game. You gotta be prepared. The pictures are pretty the reality is it can be daunting. But there ain’t nothing like it.
It’s like life and work. It changes quickly you have to adapt.

Mental health for the pastor is no joke. If you are struggling:
- get a therapist it doesn’t mean your weak.
- reach out to a friend, it doesn’t mean you are needy.
- take a break, it doesn’t mean you are lazy.
Pastor,
Anybody can be your friend when your church is growing, family is thriving and you are on top side.
A real friend is there when you are in the valley, failed at ministry and things seem to be going rough.
When the smoke settles and the dust clears, determine to be a real friend.
