Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.
Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.
Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.
Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.
Watch the whole thing.
Just in case anybody needs help with timelines:
1) 20 years ago, Spencer did a reality show.
2) Last year, Nithya walked out of City Hall when dozens of rescuers came asking for help.
3) Last year, Karen Bass lied on the news and said the dogs are not neglected on Skid Row.
@_loonielovegood I was the exact opposite. When pregnant I couldn’t stop throwing up and just had to grit my teeth till the end. When baby arrived I could actually function
Marriott hotels is switching to Coke! This is almost as exciting an announcement as when Costco switched back to Coke. The one true and everlasting soda company.
I love how the church teaches about the importance of agency but then people lose their mind when people use it to do something they don’t think people “should” if you don’t want to be a doctor an you’re a woman don’t. If you don’t want to marry one don’t. Pretty easy.
“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
