Crazy in love with Jesus! Love my complex and crazy family! Will I ever act my age? Learning brings me joy! Thankful for 'in process' people in my life!
Sophie Cunningham is my absolute favorite sportsman of all time! I love her personality. She and Clark together are unstoppable. The WNBA is nothing without them.
I FOUND IT!
Had to watch CSPAN just to get this clip.
👉The US Postmaster General just said that the USPS will NOT deliver mail-in ballots
to states that have NOT turned in their voter lists👈
President Trump’s Executive Order is responsible for this.
My son,
One day, when you're older, you will come across this post and this video of the two of us walking up into the mountains.
I hope you watch it more than once.
We always begin the same way. You go bounding off ahead, certain the whole mountain belongs to you, and for a little while it does.
Then the path gets steep.
The air gets thinner and your legs get tired.
You stop, you turn, and you look back at me and say: Dad, is the view really worth it?
I will tell you a secret.
I ask myself the same question.
I'm climbing my own mountains you can't see yet, fighting things I hope you never have to fight, and some days the weight of it all feels like more than I can carry.
Mom and I both put on a brave face, but it isn't always brave underneath.
There are mornings I feel I am carrying the whole mountain rather than walking up it.
But that's not a flaw in you or me, it just is what the journey is.
You will meet climbs that burn your legs, there will be days when every step asks more than you think you have, and there will be MANY MANY times when turning back seems the only sensible thing thing to do
...don't be ashamed of wanting to.
Everyone wants to turn back.
But WANTING to turn back, and not doing it... well my son, that is the stuff strength is made of.
There will be days when everything feels uphill. When the world feels unfair, and you’ll wonder why it has to be so hard.
The summit will never stoop to meet you and the path cannot be talked into being shorter.
What changes... what is changing in you even now while you're reading this, and especially on days that feel like nothing but insane amount of work and heartache...
...is YOU.
You are the thing that grows.
The world stays gloriously, stubbornly large, and you rise to meet it.
So climb.
Not because it is easy, but because you were made for the climbing.
And when at last you stand in the high place with the wind in your face and the whole green country spread beneath you, you will understand something that cannot be told to a man but only shown to him: that every aching step was a kind of payment, and the view was the thing it had been buying all along.
It will not feel like a reward.
It will feel like coming home to a country you have never been to, and somehow always missed.
I will be there.
Lower on the trail by then, most likely.
Slower. Catching my breath against a stone.
But I will be watching you go up, and there will be no prouder man on the entire freaking mountain than me... the man who is proud of the boy who simply will not stop putting one foot in front of the other.
Keep climbing, son.
I am always on the trail.
I love you,
Dad
It is OUR money!!
Thank you Mr Secretary
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.
I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
Please, for the sake of our country, share this message. It's important!!!
Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor.
Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells it.
Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows.
Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.
Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one, buy a bull.
🚨BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard just appeared on Fox and confirmed with the American people that Obama and senior officials around him attempted a COUP!
This is TREASON!
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!!
This is possibly the most alarming act of treason since the Lincoln assassination.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
Pray with me

Heavenly Father,
You alone are worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. Before the foundations of the world were laid, You were God, holy, sovereign, and perfect in all Your ways. I come before You today asking that You would create in me a heart of true worship.
Lord, let my worship be more than words on my lips. Let it become the posture of my life. Teach me to love You with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength. Remove every idol that competes for Your throne in my affections. Search me and know me, reveal anything within me that hinders my devotion to You, and lead me in the everlasting way.
Father, give me the heart of David, who longed for Your presence more than earthly treasures. Give me the humility of Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus and chose what was better. Give me the obedience of Christ, who delighted to do Your will.
When life is good, let me worship You in gratitude. When life is difficult, let me worship You in faith. When prayers seem unanswered, let me worship You in trust. Teach me to say with the psalmist, "Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You" (Psalm 73:25).
Holy Spirit, awaken my soul to the beauty of Christ. Open my eyes to behold the glory of the Lord. Let my heart be captivated by the cross, where mercy and justice met, and by the empty tomb, where death was defeated forever. May the wonder of the Gospel never grow familiar to me.
Lord Jesus, be the center of my thoughts, my desires, my conversations, and my days. Let my work be worship. Let my service be worship. Let my obedience be worship. Let every breath I take become an offering of praise to the One who gave everything for me.
May my life declare what my lips confess: that You are worthy. Worthy of my time. Worthy of my attention. Worthy of my surrender. Worthy of my worship.
For from You and through You and to You are all things. To You be the glory forever and ever.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen
