Lord, have mercy. I'm not a "public school is sin" Christian but at this point, depending on school district, you'd have to have a pretty solid justification to keep sending them. I pray for parents who have to make tough choices. We have too, 7x over.
America: the coffee has been brewed and the bacon is baconing. Wake up.
Your kids need you.

I don’t think Indiana, Ohio State or Texas are all that great. Good, maybe, but not great. We’ll see how Miami looks tonight. I think we’ll beat UNC by 17+
We had dinner with our very lovely elderly neighbor. She was eager to give the kids candy corn and proceeded to share with them, with the best of intentions, a very unorthodox analogy of the Trinity that I will correct later today. It was rough & I think they already know.
We are too frail and flawed to take our own vengeance. There's a lot of contending with "monsters" and becoming like them that happens on here and in the world. Be careful out there.
This is a good word for fathers. It's also a massive blessing to your wife. Kids will learn that your words (and hers) are not empty. I mean what I said.
I stole this discipline trick from the military.
My kids used to ignore me until I repeated myself 5 times.
Now they respond the first time. Every time.
Here's what changed:
I give the instruction once. Then I count to 3 in my head.
If they haven't moved by 3, immediate consequence. No warning. No negotiation.
They learned: Dad's words mean something.
Consistency beats volume.
The UK is not a serious place. Hasn’t been for quite some time and they keep proving that point. This will be easily weaponized against Christians. Persecution will probably follow.
My freshman year of high school Kevin Cash hit a bomb off of me to dead center. It was one of three back-to back-to-back home runs. Lowest sports moment of my life but at least he’s managing in the World Series.
We need a renewed vision of marriage, family and children. YAs need an inspiring view of building a family legacy of faith, love & service w/a shared mission together as a family. That vision was critical in my own thoughts of who to marry (and God gave me better than I deserved)
Every once in a while I "rediscover" a food I hadn't eaten a lot of before. Usually a vegetable, like cilantro and green onions a couple years ago. This time it's collard greens and man... with ham and hot sauce, is there any green leafy thing better. I could eat pounds of this.
Unhinged feminism is a problem more Christians & churches are going to need to directly call out & not care about backlash.
If someone pushes back: "what about manosphere/poorly behaved men?" There's always been men calling it out. Opposite isn't even remotely true.
