Back to listening to KOA as i watch the game...
Back to being irritated by us wearing white at home...
Back to hoping for a winning season...
It's fall in @Broncos Country
Shall I say this louder for those in the back?
4. The fact that God isn't limited by character does not mean Christians should vote for people who have proved that they lack it.
Nations with greater access to healthcare, childcare, living wages, & education tend to have far lower rates of abortion.
There are many ways to support the unborn and one of the most impactful is to give their families & communities access to resources.
If your Christianity sees kindness as weakness and compassion as compromise and treating with dignity those with whom you disagree as collaboration with the enemy, you have utterly lost touch with Christ.

From @esaumccaulley on this 4th of July: “These emotions of love, pride and regret can reside in the same heart. It is the truest form of patriotism, a love that isn’t complacent, one that demands more than crumbs from justice’s table.”
I want to tell you wonderful dads of daughters something. It’s a bit niche but I hope so much it will bless and encourage you. I have worked and continue to work with women of all ages for 40 years, elementary school girls to women in their 80s and 90s. It has been the privilege of my life. And here is what I can tell you based on my experience and observation.
Nothing has a greater impact on a little girl regarding her passage into adulthood than a dad
who loves her unconditionally,
who sees far beyond her external appearance to the truest beauty and strength within her,
WHO DOES NOT COMMENT ON HER WEIGHT OR POLICE HER EATING,
with whom she is utterly safe in every way,
who laughs with her and really sees her,
who fights hypocrisy and let’s her have the unspeakable gift of trust that he is the same no matter where he is or what he is doing,
who shows up and is there (never let anyone convince you that it’s just about quality time),
Who shows her compassion when she’s down and does not burst her bubble when she’s up.
who does not just show her love but also puts it into words AND not only puts it into words but also shows her.
Perfect parenting is a myth. In my view, even the fab parenting on Instagram is a damaging myth. By the grace of God, however, loving in word and deed is not a myth. And being the same person at home and in public is not a myth.
Untold numbers of us would have given anything to have had a dad like many of you and not having one had serious repercussions. I could see along the way how different women were who had a stable, loving father. And such are many of you.
So I celebrate you loving dads of daughters today. Daughters can be quite the ride but a good dad will be a gift to her every day of her life and long after you are gone.
Bless you, daughter-dad! And happy Father’s Day!
It’s past time to learn to distinguish between the term evangelicals as a political sect and evangelistic people who preach Christ and only Christ and believe to their bones he’s the single solitary Savior of the world and the totality of all Christianity has and needs to thrive. Count me among the latter.
