Once a betrayer to my one True King, pardoned by the blood of Christ alone. In gratitude, I live to serve Him the rest of my days. RSK and RMK - my Pride & Joy.

Twelve years ago today. Today is always a day of reflection of the past year and my journey and purpose. Everyday this past year has been a constant reflection and honestly it's too much and too fresh to try to describe in any detail.

I will say this year has undoubtedly

Today is my alive day. Eleven years ago I was shot in Afghanistan after being ambushed leaving a known hostile village having conducted a “cordon and search” looking for IEDs. It’s a story I don’t tell much anymore but it’s worth telling if for no other reason than to boast of /1

I often criticize psychology—rightfully so, in my view—because I believe it perpetuates more pseudoscience than any other field claiming to be a science. However, one invaluable insight I’ve gained from studying human psychology is our tendency to "project". We should always be..

mindful of this in ourselves, cultivating a discerning eye. It should make us pause before casting accusations, and if our desire to address sin overcomes our introspection, we must ensure that we approach the sinner with sincere concern for their soul, not as a means to wield...

Christianity is the logical choice, but logic can only get you right up to the line... it can't carry you across it.

Only a work of the Holy Spirt can compel you in faith to trust and believe in Christ.

Here's a piece to this story Ive wondered about, but it took me 13 yrs to figure out (tbh I havent tried hard)

During recovery I was told I needed 5 units of blood & an emergency blood drive at FOB Ghazni

According to ChatGPT, about half of all my blood had to be transfused😳🤯

@BudLightSadness Just passed 2 year bro. It's been great. Stick with it 🫡

We are the most over-diagnosed and over-medicated society ever

It's in the financial interests of doctors and psychiatrists to diagnose and medicate you for anything and everything, indefinitely

Guard yourself. Find a provider who advocates against their own financial interests

The metric I use to assess whether I know someone or not, is how predictable they are.

I'm beginning to believe that unregenerate sinners are the most predictable species on earth, and it is Christ in us through the power of the Holy Spirit that is unpredictable.

this world to the city of glory that awaits is like holding a candle up to the noonday sun... and in a moment the wind will blow out the candle.

Stay faithful and true. 🫡

Over the past few months, Jesus' temptation in the wilderness has really hit me differently.

I think as maturing Christians, we should all have the same experience. As we win battles against sin, and gain confidence in Christ, the scales begin to fall off our eyes and we see...

I think that is when the great deceiver comes to us and whispers in our ear "If you play your cards right, this whole world could be yours."

By God's grace we should not miss the forest for the trees. Comparing the treasure of...

I have a tattoo of my family motto on my back - "Avise La Fin" ... it means "Consider the End"

My Native Spanish speaking co-worker this morning saw it and asked, "what does that mean - Let me know when it's over?"

Imma go with that from now on 😂😂😂

Control freaks/manipulators are often the first ones to accuse others of being controlling/manipulating

Having accountability and setting expectations is their kryptonite. As soon as as you start holding them accountable to expectations... watch what happens

The army called it "[tacticool] patience"

Consider the analogy. Being patient in battle is waiting with purpose... waiting for the situation to develop to know which way to move forward and win

Continuing to wait once the situation has developed is lazy / cowardice / apathy

[Jed Kennedy @PJedKennedy]

I think when people advocate for patience, they really mean apathy.

What distinguishes patience in my mind is being content in the effort you are putting forth to achieve an outcome, without being inextricably tied to the outcome itself.

As they say, "leave it all on the field"

When the unregenerate man is unable to see what seems so obvious, we should not be surprised.

Just as Nicodemis (a studied man) could not see the kingdom of God, neither will they.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3
