GRACE

The Grammys were a sobering reminder that there’s plenty of people willing to disciple your kids for you. Kids can either be discipled by celebs, ideologies, politics, or they can be discipled by you, the Gospel, the church, etc. Don’t subcontract discipleship out to the world.

A Beginners Guide for Setting Boundaries (with an example):

I have a boyfriend. He works a 9-5, so he sleeps on a regular schedule. He signed off our conversation tonight by saying, "I know you're going to stay up all night writing, so feel free to use my text message inbox as a journal. I want to know what goes on in your mind at night."

People’s lives are likely going to be ruined by the Southwest meltdown; I don’t think that’s hyperbole at this point. People spend everything they can spare to fly their families home for the holidays. Now they’re stuck stranded, choosing between missing work or paying…

Culver’s is the best regional fast food/burger chain (In-N-Out, Whataburger, Shake Shack, etc.) Midwesterners are just too polite to argue about it

So @AlyssaLang asked @Coach_Leach for wedding advice. He told her to elope. This is fantastic:

Lol, Dish drops ESPN with 0 warning at 3AM ET. Could be a fun day for some tomorrow. 🫠

We lock our house, our car doors, and our phone for protection. So shouldn't we also protect your marriage the same way? Boundaries are the lock and key to every healthy marriage.

to keep up w/ audible, spotify is now selling audiobooks. do NOT buy from either of these brands. there's an app called Libby which is 100% FREE that has thousands of old & brand new audiobooks and all you need is your library card number!

Life can be hard, a couple things will go right and even more will go wrong. Don’t over-identify with your successes or be cripppled by your failures. Delight in your role as a flawed participant in need of God’s tremendous grace, and everyone elses’s patience, every day.

A great spouse is one that goes around saying nice things about you behind your back. Be a great spouse.

us twizzler enjoyers are shamed and berated every day and for what. there's nothing wrong with wanting to chew on electrical wires like i'm just being who i am

It takes a lot of bravery and strength to say yes to rest in a culture that tells you exhaustion is a status symbol.

Everyone says they want community and friendship, but when that means accountability or commitment people run the other way.

I think a father’s job, when it’s done best, is to get down on both knees, lean over his children’s lives, and whisper, ‘Where do you want to go?’ Every day God invites us on the same kind of adventure. It’s not a trip where He sends us a rigid itinerary, He simply invites us.

Lord, I worry because I forget your wisdom. I resent because I forget your mercy. I covet because I forget your beauty. I sin because I forget your holiness. I fear because I forget your sovereignty. You always remember me. Help me to remember you. Amen...

Talk to your spouse more kindly than you talk to anyone else in the world. Too often we speak the most harshly to those closest to us. "Love is kind..." 1 Corinthians 13

The best marriages are built on total openness, honesty and trust. For example: That means being willing at any moment to swap phones with your spouse without worry of what they will find. Do you have this kind of trust in your marriage?
