To me one of the greatest bulwarks we have in this country against all the foreign isms, "crackpot" theories, and the unsound social reforms is the people who live on the land, close to the soil.

Maybe if I didn't get people walking up to me and explaining their fertility situation on the daily, I would be quicker to judge how well they're prioritizing family.
“I grew up in Arizona, served a mission in Mexico, and went to college thinking I had a pretty clear path for my life. Then I met my now wife Victoria, and everything changed in the best way.
“She always knew she wanted to be a doctor. Pediatric neurology isn’t an easy road, but it’s who she is, compassionate, steady, brilliant, and drawn to help kids and families through the hardest things life hands them. When she got into med school in California, we packed up and moved.
“Stepping into her dream together was an easy choice. I wanted to support her the way she has always supported me. And honestly, watching her work and sacrifice and love people like she does has strengthened my faith more than anything else.
“My path hasn’t been as clear. I’ve tried different directions, learned a lot, prayed a lot. Some days I still feel like I’m figuring it out. But I do know that God doesn’t measure timelines. He measures love, humility, and the way we show up for each other.
“Supporting her doesn’t shrink my purpose—it expands it. Our callings from God can look different, and that’s beautiful. I’m building my future too, but I’m grateful that right now, part of my purpose is cheering for the person I love most as she steps into hers.
“There’s not one 'right way' to build a family or a future. For us, this is ours. And it’s sacred.” — Nate
“While spacewalking I realized something, I used to think I was scared of heights but now I know I was just scared of gravity.”
