You need to be teaching your children to be proud to be American
You must never allow anyone to tell them they should apologize for being American
From Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong and beyond
America is the land of adventurers, explorers, and heroes
When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
Let me see if I can get this straight..
People are upset about the UFC fight at the White House, but were perfectly fine with topless Transformers prancing around with children on the White House lawn 3 years ago?
Got it.
Pray with me
May 10, 2026
Heavenly Father,
Today we thank You for mothers, for the women who carry burdens quietly, love deeply, pray faithfully, and give endlessly. Thank You for the strength You placed inside them, the compassion in their hearts, and the wisdom that steadies homes and generations.
Lord, bless the mothers who are weary. Renew their strength when they feel overlooked and exhausted. Remind them that every sacrifice made in love is seen by You. Give them peace in anxious moments, joy in ordinary days, and courage for every season they walk through.
Protect their hearts and minds. Fill their homes with grace, laughter, patience, and truth. Let their words carry life and healing. May they know that their influence is powerful, their calling is holy, and their prayers are never wasted.
For the mothers carrying grief, bring comfort. For the single mothers, bring provision and support. For the grandmothers, spiritual mothers, and women who nurture others faithfully, honor them with encouragement and strength.
Teach us to rise up and call them blessed, to cherish them well, and to thank You for the gift they are.
As Your Word says:
“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.”
(Proverbs 31:28)
And,
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”
(Proverbs 31:25)
May every mother know today that she is loved by her family and treasured by God.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen
He is risen.
Right now. Today. Forever.
Not *was*
The tomb IS empty.
The grave could not hold Him.
Sin and death have been conquered by the King of Kings.
Today is Good Friday.
The living Son of God was crucified—rejected, beaten, and nailed to a cross—for your sins and the redemption of humanity.
Never forget.
Jesus Christ loves you.
