We had missionary friends visiting us last week with their five children, ages 10-19.
In that time, I saw their teen boys go up to adults from our small group to look them in the eye, introduce themselves, and shake hands on their own initiative.
I saw two of them sit down with a 100 year-old woman and kindly make conversation with her like they didn’t even notice an age gap.
I saw them jump in to help wash our dishes and to thank me repeatedly for my hospitality.
I heard their teen daughter announce that she and my daughter had read the first two chapters of Colossians together before coming down for breakfast.
I saw a ten year-old boy up at 6 a.m. reading his Bible and had to hand off watering my garden when he repeatedly insisted he wanted to do it for me.
I heard sons sitting and passionately discussing fine points of doctrine and missions with their mother and father.
I saw a whole family gather around the piano while the oldest child played hymns and the entire family sang together enthusiastically.
They were with us for only two days, but in that brief time, they provided us with a beautiful glimpse of what a devoted family of Christians can look like and left the sweet aroma of Christ lingering in our hearts after they left.
I want to be more like them.

@mattvanswol Took snapshots of your post and emailed them to my own son who is expecting his second child. Thank you. This is extraordinary 💕

It is nearly an impossible task to convey just how amazing kids are to someone who doesn’t have any.
The best way I can describe it is this:
You spend your whole life thinking you understand love.
Then one night, you’ll find yourself standing in a room at 2 a.m., just watching your newborn baby breathe, just to make sure they are still alive.
And you realize in that moment that you would burn the entire world to the ground for the slow rise and fall of that tiny chest.
You become braver and absolutely terrified at the same time.
You start looking for exits in restaurants and worrying about that weird stranger in the parking lot.
You discover a capacity for anger and violence you never knew lived in you until you think you might need it because someone might hurt your kid.
The first time you see your kid, the entire world changes.
You realize you are meant to live for them… not for you.
And it feels good. It feels right.
Like a key to a door you have always been looking at but could never open.
And one ordinary afternoon probably while you’re folding socks or something dumb, it will hit you…
This is how your parents loved you.
This is what she felt watching you sleep.
This is what your dad felt every time he watched you walk out the door.
And you had no idea.
You spent your entire childhood with no idea.
It’s so beautiful, words fail to describe it.
It’s just right, it was always meant to be this way. ❤️

Much of learning is frustrating.
You get stuck, then break through, then finally understand it…only to doubt yourself again.
There are brief moments where everything clicks, where learning feels exciting and clear. Then confusion returns.
The process is inefficient, messy, and rarely linear.
Sometimes the breakthrough only comes after stepping away from the problem, taking a break, and returning to it later.
There are times others seem to learn faster than you. Other times, you grasp something before everyone else.
You begin comparing yourself to others and think, “Maybe this just isn’t my thing.” Then suddenly, confidence appears, and you think, “Wait…maybe this is my thing.”
You begin to identify with it. To feel connected to it.
But then another realization hits: the more you learn, the more you become aware of how much you still do not know.
And for a moment, you wonder:
Do I even know anything at all?

Honestly, I could use another couple years of liberals hiding in their homes and staying 6 feet away from me at all times.

@JohnDParody As long as they don't force people out of their jobs again for not getting vaxxed. Some families still haven't recovered financially or professionally.

The enjoyment of God is the only happiness deep enough to satisfy the soul. Man was not made to be filled by comfort, success, pleasure, applause, money, ministry, or human love. These things may have their place, but none of them can bear the full weight of an immortal soul.
God alone is the fountain of true joy. “In Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever” (Psalm 16:11). That means real happiness is not found merely in receiving gifts from God, but in having God Himself as our portion.
The heart remains restless when it seeks satisfaction in created things. The world can distract the soul, excite the soul, and numb the soul for a time, but it cannot satisfy the soul. “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God” (Psalm 42:2). That thirst was placed in us by God, and only God can meet it.
This is why the believer must learn to say with the psalmist, “Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth” (Psalm 73:25). That is not the language of a man who has lost everything. It is the language of a man who has finally found the only One who is enough.
The enjoyment of God is not an added blessing to the Christian life. It is the heart of it. To know Him, love Him, worship Him, trust Him, and be satisfied in Him is the happiness for which the soul was created.

@klanigreen @VinoNStrosGal Ive seen no studies, just lots of advice from others on how to taper myself. Ive gotten from 90mg/day to now just a few granules from a capsule. It's doable, but definitely a process.

@VinoNStrosGal @FranklyTherese After 10 years, I want to taper —waiting for Dr. to get onboard. Worry about long-term effects. I don’t think there are any studies.

How many of you reading this right now have personally taken, or watched a friend or family member take:
Gabapentin.
Lyrica.
Cymbalta.
Paxil.
Effexor.
Zoloft.
Lexapro.
Prozac.
Wellbutrin.
Maybe it started with:
“This should help your pain.”
“Let’s try this.”
“This might help.”
“Take it and let me know how you do.”
Five minute conversations.
Prescriptions written in seconds.
No pause.
No deeper conversation.
Then months later, maybe years later:
3 a.m.
Pacing the floor.
Crying.
Panic.
Insomnia.
Dizzy.
Brain Zaps.
Strange sensations you can’t explain.
Passive suicidal ideation.
Staring into the dark asking:
“What is happening to me?”
Then comes the question that hits like a brick:
“Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
Because for a lot of people, the conversation about risk doesn’t happen until they’re already living inside the consequences.
And that’s where the anger comes from.
Not from wanting to demonize medicine.
From wondering why some of the biggest conversations happen after the prescription pad is already empty.
Medical Russian roulette isn’t just about a pill.
It’s what patients call it when they feel like nobody handed them the whole story before asking them to put something in their body.

“Heavenly Father,
Today we come before You with hearts that are tired, wounded, and in need of Your healing touch. You are the #God who restores, comforts, and makes all things new. We ask You to pour out Your peace upon every person who is struggling physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Touch every sick body with Your healing power and bring strength where there is weakness, calm where there is anxiety, and hope where there is fear.
Lord, heal the pain that cannot be seen by others—the silent tears, the hidden stress, the sleepless nights, and the heavy burdens carried in secret. Remind us that we are never alone because Your presence goes before us and stays beside us in every battle. Give wisdom to doctors, comfort to families, and courage to those waiting for breakthrough and recovery.
Father, replace sadness with joy, #fear with #faith, and confusion with peace. Help us trust Your timing even when healing feels delayed. Strengthen our hearts so we do not lose hope during difficult moments. Let Your love shine into every dark place and renew our minds with confidence and peace.
We declare that Your #grace is greater than every sickness, every struggle, and every storm we face. Thank You for being our refuge, protector, and healer. We place every worry into Your hands and trust You completely.
In #Jesus’ name, Amen.” 🙏
