Raising humans, worship pastoring, socials for @nazcompassion. I care about: Jesus. Family. Dem O's. Refugees. Justice. That dessert w/ pretzels & strawberries.
This week I tucked copies of immigration documents, social security cards, passports, IDs, & more into my home safe. My friends seeking asylum are living with anxiety I cannot fathom. Keeping copies in case of emergency seems like very meager help, but it’s all I can think to do.
I’ve donated several times to help relieve this kind of debt. To find ourselves now a recipient of this kind of assistance was beyond words. Thank you, @unduemeddebt.
Medical care should heal—not haunt. We cancel debt because no one should pay the price for getting sick.
I don’t think the Rays staged this but they were sure ready with the track 😂
Finally, I am not alone in this annoyance - a lapel mic looks ridiculous when you hold it. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The trend of influencers holding microphones that weren’t designed to be held, because they saw other people holding microphones that aren’t meant to be held and so they think it’s going to help them be successful to hold microphones that aren’t meant to be held, has gotten a bit…
When I was a child, my mom had to use food stamps for groceries-- and I remember how one cashier's scornful look hit me hard. But my mother (the strongest woman I know) just kept focused on her kids. Christian empathy for those who struggle looks like the fruit of the Spirit…
Every single day I search the news with anxiety, looking to see if my friends who entered legally & applied for asylum & have a compelling case are safe that day. I want to break the news if I get an inkling their case will be summarily dismissed. But it shouldn’t be this way. 💔

How many veteran players talk this way about a guy who has played 15 games in the majors? Charlie Morton. Here's Morton on his connection with Maverick Handley:
How can you not be romantic about baseball.
Best day of this kids life. He’s about to be a star at school tomorrow.
Utterly horrifying. May the victims be given true justice.
‘We Are Devastated’—Newsboys Release Statement Regarding Sexual Assualt Allegations Against Michael Tait churchleaders.com/news/512427-ne…
This Easter, I baptized a Chinese friend & daughter. Her visa opened the door to meeting Jesus. She is studying to be a nurse. Her daughter plays flute in the school band. Along with her husband & son, they make our church & community so much better. I’m worried for their future.
I’ve never known an individual more devoted to the Lord or to the tireless, faithful teaching of Scripture than Kay Arthur. She is now at the feet of her Redeemer, looking up at the radiant face of the One she has loved with her whole being. Thank you, Kay. You were unmatched.
