God’s first words after the Fall were: “Where are you?”
It is only one word in Hebrew: אַיֶּכָּה (ʾayyekah).
In that single word is compressed a whole theology:
• God seeks out lost sinners.
• God welcomes them to confess.
• God desires their restoration.
• God works their redemption.
"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...
I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."
Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale just went on CNBC and said something that is hard to argue with, "It's crazy to think he's not going to win" (Save this).
@JTLonsdale is talking about Elon Musk, SpaceX and the single most consequential infrastructure race happening in the world right now.
His core argument is that, Musk is the best hardware builder in the world at exactly the moment when trillions of dollars are flowing into hardware.
SpaceX's S-1 IPO filing which dropped last month revealed the company spent approximately $20 billion on its AI division in 2025 alone, representing roughly 60% of total capital expenditure.
The filing claims SpaceX has identified the largest actionable total addressable market in human history at $28.5 trillion, with $22.7 trillion of that attributed to enterprise AI applications.
But the part of Lonsdale's argument that most people missed is the regulatory angle.
Every regulation making it harder to build data centers on Earth, every zoning fight, every environmental objection, every piece of legislation used to slow down AI infrastructure directly benefits Musk because his answer to all of it is to build in space, where those rules simply do not apply.
Every obstacle that slows down a terrestrial data center is, in practice, an argument for the orbital alternative that only SpaceX is currently positioned to deliver at scale.
Bullish on Space.
Celebrating Coach McCaffery getting back to the Big Dance. He continues to lead and build winning programs. Watching the strength he's shown through adversity this past year makes it even more meaningful. Proud to see him back where he belongs...Dancing !!!
At the very end of Psalm 119, after 175 verses rejoicing in the beauty, truth, and life-giving power of the Word of God, we arrive at a strikingly honest confession: “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant” (Psalm 119:176).
How fitting is that?
After walking such a long road paved with divine instruction, praise, and devotion, here we are, lost. If there were ever a time when we shouldn’t be going astray, surely it would be now, at the culmination of the longest psalm, a sustained meditation on the very thing that guides us.
Yet even on this well-lit path, we wander.
We are stubborn, forgetful, easily distracted sheep. We veer off the trail to nibble on weeds that look greener, only to find they are poisonous. Our Shepherd calls, but we are too enchanted by shadows to heed his voice.
We do not fall off the path only in moments of darkness or despair; we stray even in the light, even in the presence of truth.
So Isaiah is blunt: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6). No exceptions. Each sheep believes his path is best. One wanders into the den of wolves. Another totters on a cliff’s edge, moments from a fall. Another lies stuck in the mire, bleating for help.
And what does God do? He doesn’t send a map so lost sheep can find their way home. He doesn’t shout from the heavens, “Try harder!” He sends a Shepherd. But not only that—this Shepherd becomes the Lamb. “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
He doesn’t wait for us to want salvation. He comes unbidden. He comes determined.
Jesus has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:4–5).
And this did not begin at the cross. Matthew 8 tells us that when Jesus healed the sick and drove out demons, he was already fulfilling Isaiah 53: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases” (Matthew 8:16–17).
From the moment he stepped into this fallen world, Jesus was absorbing our pain, taking it into himself. His entire life was a slow, steady pouring out. He was taking our death even as we were receiving his life.
This is the great exchange. His righteousness for our sin. His wounds for our healing. All the bad that we are, he takes as his own. All the good that he is, he gives to us as our own. So that we might be forever his: lambs in his arms, sheep in his pasture.

JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance compares the left's obsession with abortion to the child sacrifice of the Mayans, says every child is wonderfully made by God.
Vance also warned America against turning to paganism.
"As important as all this politics stuff is, it is about whether we will remain a civilization under God or whether we ultimately return to the paganism that dominated the past."
"Today, the far left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles, that it's irresponsible, even immoral, because of climate change or some other reason..."
"They tell us that life itself is a burden, but we here at this march, we know that it's a lie. We know that life is a gift."
"We know that babies are precious because we know them and we love them, and we see the way that they can transform our families."
"We know that family is not just the source of a great joy, but it's part of God's design for men and women, a design that extends outward from the family to our neighborhoods, to our communities, and to the United States of America."
🚨 BREAKING: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele credits the hand of God for TURNING AROUND his country in favor of prosperity and safety 🇺🇸🇸🇻
"It was the hand of God. And no one can doubt it!"
"It is a constant proof that God works when asked with faith. Transforming that, the most dangerous country in the world, into what it is today, is the clearest miracle."
"If God took what was already more or less good and perfected it, yes, it was a miracle..."
"...but if God took the worst and turned it into security, into the best, then it is an example of a miracle. Without a doubt, and with proof. What are the proofs? Not only the great fact, but what we supposedly did."
"We have to confess that we do not know how it happened. And there is no one who can come and explain how it happened. Otherwise, let it not be a miracle."
BUKELE IS INCREDIBLE! A model for the West!
Safe to say that the Late Night shows aren't what they used to be...
Billy Graham on Johnny Carson in 1973
Carson: You know it sounds awful, but if you asked me to name all [10 Commandments] right now, I would probably leave one out somewhere.
Graham: Oh, I think you could think of all of them, because all of us have broken all of them, so I think we could figure them out.
Carson: You think everybody...
Graham: Everybody has broken every commandment, yes, sir. The Bible says if we break in one point, we're guilty of all...
Carson: Oh, I see.
Graham: ...and then when Jesus came after Moses, He explained that the 10 Commandments can be broken in your heart by thought and intent, so in that sense, we're all guilty, and that's the reason the Bible says that everybody's a sinner, even Ed is a sinner.

This song has been out for a while, but I just listened to it again and about got all choked up thinking about what this guy has gone through for you and I….FOR NO PAY😲! To think about what is going to happen in 2026 WILL BLOW YOUR MIND🫨! Welcome to the Golden Age🇺🇸
The most terrifying detail about Noah's Ark isn't the size of the flood. It is the design of the boat.
If you look closely at the blueprints God gave Noah in Genesis 6, He was extremely specific.
He gave the exact length, width, and height. He specified the type of wood and the pitch to seal it.
In my little years, I have never thought of this, but God intentionally left out one crucial component. There was no steering wheel, no sail, and worse still, there was no engine.
Think about how scary that is.
Noah was building a massive vessel to survive a global storm, but he had zero control over it, or over where it went. He couldn't steer it away from rocks. He couldn't turn it into the waves. He couldn't aim for dry land. He was completely at the mercy of the water.
The Ark was not designed for navigation; just for floating.
Noah’s job was to be the Passenger, not the Captain.
God was the Captain.
This is a picture of your life right now.
You are trying to put a steering wheel in a boat that God can control, if you let Him…
