Suddenly, remarkably, Tigers only 4.5 games out of first place, 3.5 games out of the wildcard. Everyone has tried to put a fork in them, and in May they were putting a fork in themselves. They look fully unforked.
FORKS UP!
Maturity taught me that not every woman is a Proverbs 31 woman. And that’s okay!
Some are Deborahs: Called to lead, to speak boldly, and to stand on the front lines.
Some are Ruths: Faithful in quiet places, steady when no one is watching.
Some are Esthers: Positioned for influence, courage rising at the exact moment it’s needed.
Some are Marys: Chosen for surrender, carrying purpose before understanding.
Some are Hannahs: Shaped by prayer, strengthened through waiting and tears.
The winters in Michigan are tough. Maybe even brutal. No cap.
But let me tell you…I’ll voluntarily go through a Michigan winter 10 times out of 10 to get what we have now, man.
Because Michigan Summers are GLORIOUS 😍☀️⛵️
Novak Djokovic just said being bored is the most creative state a child can be in.
His son is 10 and his daughter is 7.
He says when his son told him he was bored after a morning of ping pong, kayaking, and soccer, he sat him down for a conversation most parents avoid.
"It's okay to be bored sometimes. When you're bored, it doesn't mean that you have to instantly take a book or a screen. You need to also learn how to be with your thoughts."
Djokovic says boredom is when creativity finally shows up, and it's also when everything you have been suppressing through your phone comes to the surface.
Most parents are protecting their kids from the only state that grows them.

Detroit Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff: “I don’t think we fell short of anything. These guys have improved massively and done a great job. Anything other than positivity towards this group is unacceptable. The turnaround from where we’ve come from and what these guys have been willing to do. Everybody wants to win a championship every year. But how much did you grow? How much did you improve? Did you sacrifice for the greater good of the team? Our guys did that collectively every single day and we got better. We put ourselves in position to be here. There’s nothing disappointing about this group and the outcome of this.”
Cleveland traded a chunk of its future for this run. They have to win Game 7. They know it. The locker room knows it. The front office knows it.
Detroit has none of that weight. The Pistons two years ago were waiting on the lottery. This team is ahead of schedule. Trajan Langdon has played his hand right. He didn’t go all in at the deadline. He didn’t hand Jalen Duren the max before he saw what he had. He took a measured swing at this season and let the roster show him what it is. Win or lose Sunday, Detroit’s window is just opening. Cleveland’s window is the size of a postage stamp.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the solid rock I stand!
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
Satan in Eden: “Take and eat.”
Jesus at Last Supper: “Take and eat.”
In Genesis it was temptation…
At the Last Supper, it became grace.
What was broken in Eden…
was restored through Christ.
Hallelujah!
This is your heart. It beats:
~70 times per minute.
~4,200 per hour.
~100,000 per day.
~700,000 per week.
~35 million per year.
~2.5 billion in a lifetime.
Every beat given as a gift by God, your Creator, who designed you.
Have you thanked Him for life today?
This is literally one of the coolest things I have ever seen. A 300 day time lapse of a pinecone becoming a pine tree. Just the way that God created it thousands of years ago, and it’s still doing exactly the same thing today.
