When you raised your hand to accept Jesus as Lord of your life and yielded yourself to Him, it meant you accepted the assignments He brings to you. It's no longer your time, your life, or your resources—you serve at the pleasure of the King. What an exciting way to invest your days! There is nothing you will give to the Lord that He won't multiply back to you.
Learn to honor the Lord. Practice being generous with your time, your attention, and your resources. Find ways to do that. Listen to people you might be tempted to brush off. Pray for people when it would be easier to ignore the invitation. Begin to practice that in an intentional, purposeful way. If you choose to honor Him, He will find you trustworthy, and He will multiply your opportunities. He will multiply things you didn't even know were possible.
You don't have to find the parade, run to the front, and say, “Look what I did!” Be willing to serve the Lord in all those places that seem insignificant, and God will bring promotion to you—whether He brings the promotion in this life or waits until eternity. Promotion is coming!
If you're walking through a hard season that's demanding your attention and sacrifice, and you feel like nobody notices, God notices. Turn down the volume on those accusing or condemning voices—or those voices telling you you're wasting your time or your sacrifice. You're not. Don't grow weary. God is faithful!
As a longtime SpaceX investor I’m watching @jamesproud and Substrate closely. Their AI-optimized X-ray lithography is slashing energy use in chipmaking, restoring U.S. semiconductor leadership w/ domestic fabs, & creating the virtuous hardware-AI flywheel we need to secure energy grids, next-gen compute, & beyond. This is how we win on energy security and technological supremacy.

🚨BREAKING: Tiffany Murillo, a US Navy Sonar Technician, was involuntarily separated in March 2022 for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.
She was recently reinstated with nearly four years of service credit, backpay, and also allowing her to return to her preferred duty station.
Thoughts?
Incredible man. Faithful servant to his family, friends, and the people of Georgia. Forever grateful for my 25 years of his friendship with @SonnyPerdue and the massive impact he’s had on me, Jamie and the kids. This just means we get to hunt more, which I’m grateful for!
Former Gov. Sonny Perdue, the first Republican governor of Georgia since Reconstruction, just announced that he is retiring from his role as chancellor of the state’s higher education system. #gapol

How many babies are murdered each year? Yet the Pope meets with and flatters the Obama administration - the one that sued the Little Sisters. No condemnation for them, or for the Democrat billionaire governor who supports the genital multination children.
This tweet reminded me of my favorite book from last Summer, a truly awesome biography of Robert E Lee written by a University of Georgia professor. You won’t be disappointed if you order and read https://t.co/GtCnh4Ny3H
On this day in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
Lee showed up dressed in his best, looking like a dignified gentleman. Grant was covered in mud after riding all morning.
Before anything was signed, the two men spoke about their shared service in the Mexican War -- a reminder that Confederates and Union soldiers were nonetheless countrymen tied by mystic chords of memory.
Grant did not create terms of surrender to humiliate the South. Grant and Lincoln understood that to unify the nation, you could not imprison half of it. Confederates were allowed to keep their sidearms and personal horses.
When Grant learned that Lee's men were quite literally starving after having not eaten for days, he ordered 25,000 rations sent to them immediately. Lee said this would have "a very happy effect" on his men.
When Lee rode away after signing terms of surrender, Union soldiers cheered. Grant forced them to stop, reminding Union soldiers that Confederates were "now our countrymen" and there would be no cheering over their downfall. (In fact, days later when actual ceremonial surrender occurred, Union Gen. Josh Chamberlain reportedly ordered his men to salute passing Confederates as a sign of respect)
Lee also worked diligently to stop Confederates from waging guerrilla warfare, encouraging them to set their arms aside and return home and in peace. He was a titan in his own right.
If the spirit of 1865 had been driven by the urge to shame and punish, the Union would not have lasted. So many people today misunderstand that and as such, they try to rewrite America history.
God Bless America.
Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.
Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.
Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.
The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.
The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.
Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.
Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.
He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.
This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.
Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.
This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.
Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.
These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.
At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.
What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.
Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.
Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.
Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.
A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.
He suffered for 6 hours.
His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.
His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.
His heart was struggling to pump blood.
He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.
His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.
And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.
He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.
HE DID IT ALL FOR US.
To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.
Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.
And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.
For us.
The same two things are said repeatedly by CEOs and politicians and news media. But never at the same time.
1) AI will automate millions of jobs out of existence.
2) America must bring in unlimited H-1B's.
Both cannot be true.
They don't make any sense together.
Please pray for Susie Wiles. There’s not another like her. She has more strength, grace, and fortitude than anyone that’s ever come to work for @POTUS. She will want us to work for midterm success even harder until she defeats this and is even stronger!
At this point if a Republican senator is opposing or delaying the SAVE America Act you have to ask a simple question: which 3 letter agency or foreign Nation is leveraging/blackmailing them?
🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has come out AGAINST the SAVE America Act
What a SHOCK 🙄
Murkowski is basically saying Alaskans are TOO STUPID to get IDs, and that they’ll be “disenfranchised”
As I’ve said before, Murkowski could NEVER win without rigged elections — and ranked choice voting, as they have in AK, is a great way to rig elections.

Thank you @POTUS! I'm honored to have led the investment in America First Refining with @realjohncalce and bring this project to fruition. An incredible team refused to give up on doing something that hasn’t been done in 50 years. American energy dominance is back. Grateful to @POTUS@SecretaryWright and @jarrodagen — this would not have happened without your leadership.
Chess pieces continue to come off the board. Extraordinary what is possible when we use strength versus bribing terrorists to hate us less. Brilliant strategy by @POTUS. This must be viewed through a broader lens towards China; not a good day for them. 🇺🇸
RFK JR: "Ever wonder why... the school systems don't teach any real life skills anymore?"
"Because the moment a man becomes self-reliant, the system loses control."
The Alex and Caroline Bruesewitz wedding was a significant cultural moment. I’m OG MAGA and blue collar to my core, regardless if I wear a suit sometimes. Alex has built and brought up a younger, trendier movement. It’s almost unrecognizable from 2015.
