@Todd_Spence This is one of my top 5 songs of all time. I was today years old when I learned it was Sting in the opening. Thanks

Happy Fathers day to my Dad and to @caltolbert who's the reason this is my 30th Fathers day. Have a great day!

@TomPelissero Athens-Clarke county has a long history arresting UGA players only to see those charges later dropped. The dropped charges never make headlines. These likely will drop too. It has been frustrating us UGA fans for years.

@ClubProGuy CPG thanks for always going above and beyond. There's no telling the value of those tee times in 11 years.

“I felt a bit like an accessory to a crime.”

That’s how Dr. Keith Smith describes his time working inside a hospital system with a pricing model he couldn’t stand behind. Charging patients unknowable, inflated prices wasn’t just frustrating. It went against everything he believed medicine should be.

Surgery Center of Oklahoma was built as a response to that moment. Our pricing model is grounded in a simple principle: the golden rule. Treat patients the way you’d want to be treated. Tell them the full price upfront. Deliver excellent care. Charge a fair amount.

Quality care. Low costs. No games.
That’s the SCO model.

@SurgeryCenterOK The guys are the absolute best. We traveled all the way from Georgia, twice, and it was so worth it. Thanks for everything

When our church set a baptism goal, my stomach dropped.

I didn’t set it or ask for it. But the number was determined in a staff meeting and hung in the air anyway.

And we didn’t hit the goal...not even close.

As the months went on, something interesting happened. The number was mentioned less in staff meetings by the Senior Pastor. Less from the pulpit and eventually, not at all.

That season taught me something I’ve never forgotten. Goals can be helpful. But they are terrible masters.

Scripture never gives us control over outcomes.
Only obedience.

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” (Prov. 16:9)

You can’t schedule repentance.
You can’t manufacture hunger.
You can’t move a human heart by force of will or strategy.

Paul said it plainly: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” (1 Cor. 3:6–7)

Plans belong in pencil, not stone.

When a church claims to be seeking God, its goals must remain fully submitted to His timing, His work, and His mercy.

Otherwise, we aren’t trusting God.
We’re just trying to manage Him.

Why did God create evil? A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
- Everything that exists was created by God?
One student bravely answered:
- Yes, created by God.
- Did God create everything? - a professor asked.
“Yes, sir,” replied the student.
The professor asked :
- If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.
The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said:
- Can I ask you a question, professor?
"Of course," replied the professor.
A student got up and asked:
- Professor, is cold a thing?
- What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?
Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:
- Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.
A student continued:
- Professor, does darkness exist?
— Of course it exists.
- You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.
In the end, the young man asked the professor:
- Sir, does evil exist?
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
- Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.
To this, the student answered:
- Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s absence of light.

@RGIII How do you say that about a team who has beaten no one? Their only good win is against #20 Oregon state. Oregon belongs in the Holiday bowl, not the CFP

I miss old school baseball. Down by 1, bottom of the 9th, runners at the corners and 1 out. Why no safety squeeze @Braves ? #oldschool

@TeslaCharging There needs to be a supercharger in Clayton, GA. Lots of ATL people have houses in that area and a good stop on the way to NC mountains.
