Romans 11 has been hitting me lately. Paul says in Romans 11:25 that “a partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.” That word until matters. It means the hardening isn’t permanent. It isn’t total. And it isn’t pointless. God is doing something through it. Paul already said earlier that Israel’s stumbling brought “riches for the world” and “salvation to the Gentiles” (Romans 11:11–12). Their rejection of Jesus didn’t derail God’s plan — it opened the door for the rest of us. If Israel had fully believed, they wouldn’t have crucified Him. And without the cross, there is no atonement, no resurrection, no salvation for the nations. Somehow, in God’s sovereignty, their unbelief became the pathway for our salvation. But here’s the part people miss: Paul also says in Galatians 3:28 and Colossians 3:11 that in Christ there is “no Jew or Gentile.” That’s absolutely true — once you are saved, once you are in the body of Christ, those distinctions fall away. We become one family, one body, one people. But Romans 11 isn’t talking about the saved Israel. It’s talking about the unbelieving nation of Israel — the part that rejected Jesus — and Paul says God still has a plan for them. He says: • “God has not rejected His people” (Romans 11:1) • “If their rejection means reconciliation for the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:15) • “All Israel will be saved” (Romans 11:26) • “The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29) Paul is making a distinction: In Christ, Jew and Gentile are one. Outside of Christ, Israel as a nation still has a unique, unfinished story in God’s plan. And maybe that’s part of the mystery — the same people whose unbelief opened salvation to the world will one day be shown mercy in a special way. Not because they earned it, but because God keeps His promises even when we don’t. Paul ends the chapter in awe: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!” (Romans 11:33) This whole thing is bigger than us. Bigger than history. Bigger than theology. It’s the story of a God who weaves redemption through human failure and keeps His covenant even when we break ours.

I think the housing market will depreciate 40% in the next four years. The housing market correction will affect markets differently. Here is what I forecast for individual cities. LA - down 10% Seattle - down 8% Bay Area - down 7% Las Vegas - down 60% Phoenix - down 45% Denver - down 30% Dallas - down 40% Austin - down 50% Kansas City - down 10% Twin Cities - down 12% Chicago - down 15% Detroit - down 20% Cleveland - down 10% New York City - down 8% Boston - down 5% DMV - down 10% Nashville - down 25% Atlanta - down 20% Charlotte - down 15% Tampa - down 60% Jacksonville - down 65% Miami - down 20% The snowbird and transient cities are going to get hit the hardest in the housing correction. The coastal and flyover areas will be the most stable.

Let me be honest with you. Before marriage, I could have lived entirely for myself. Wake up when I wanted. Travel when I wanted. Spend on what I wanted. Answer to nobody. Build nothing new. Just enjoy myself and call it freedom. But that is the trap. Because a man left only to himself can become very comfortable and very empty. Marriage gave me something comfort never could... responsibility with meaning. My wife gave my life weight. My children gave my work faces. My decisions stopped being about appetite and started being about legacy. And deeper than that, marriage changed how I understood love itself. Jesus did not give Himself for the Church because He was forced to. He gave Himself willingly. That is what covenant love looks like. Sacrifice. Responsibility. Covering. Staying power. That changed me. Marriage is not just a contract to me. It is a calling to die to selfishness. To lead with sacrifice. To build with love. To become the kind of man whose presence brings peace, not confusion. That is the benefit of marriage for a man. Not just companionship. Not just sex. Not just children. It gives him a reason to become more disciplined, more selfless, more focused, more intentional. Left to myself, I already know the kind of man I could have remained... comfortable, amused, and going nowhere that truly mattered. Marriage did not cage me. It gave me a picture of Christ. And it called me higher.

That 3-1 sinker to Judge was begging to get crushed. So was that 2-0 pitch. He let two meatballs go by which is not like him. That wasn’t a great AB.

.@elonmusk 🔴BREAKING: Elon Musk just dropped this mind-blowing update on Neuralink… “In the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll be doing our first implants for vision — even if somebody is completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex.” Blindness? Cured. Sight? Restored. Humanity? Upgraded. 👀⚡ From zero vision → potential superhuman sight (infrared, UV, radar… like a real-life superhero). This is no longer sci-fi. It’s happening NOW. What do you think — game-changer or too wild? 🔥 Drop your thoughts below!

Missed opportunity. For tonight’s first pitch, they absolutely should’ve put Nicolás Maduro at home plate in a dunk tank. 🎯⚾️🇻🇪🇺🇸

@lazy_viewers @gamerwalt His whole point is to give up the tangible to get the more valuable intangible. Selfishness, materialism, money, travel, etc get’s traded for selflessness, love, courage, respect, and most importantly a better understanding of his Saviors love for him.

Can we normalize saying “I don’t understand what God is doing right now” without it meaning your faith is falling apart? Confusion is not apostasy. Job was confused. David was confused. Jeremiah was confused. And God called all of them faithful. 😭 You can trust Him and still not understand Him. Both things are true.

I think it’s super soft of Jeff Passan to write an article like this without even acknowledging how hard it is to be an umpire. Mason Miller throws one of the nastiest sliders in MLB. That pitch is a strike for 59.5 feet before it drops below the zone at the last second. Was it a bad call? Yeah. Was it an egregious call? No. It happens every game. It’s unfortunate that it happened to end a team’s WBC hopes, but that’s baseball.
Jeff Passan@JeffPassan

"100% it was a ball." The spectacular USA-Dominican Republic WBC semifinal game was marred by blown calls -- including one that ended the game. I spoke with Geraldo Perdomo, Juan Soto and DR GM Nelson Cruz about it. Here's what they said, free at ESPN: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

A God who humbles Himself, steps into humanity, and dies for a creation that keeps choosing slavery over Him… it doesn’t make sense to me either. That’s why it’s called the scandal of grace. We rejected Him, ran from Him, betrayed Him — and He still loved us. I pray you come to know that kind of forgiveness, that kind of love, that kind of grace. It changes everything. It inspires a man to lay down his life for those who might not deserve it.

@sarge12388335 @schadjoe You mean the same employer who went to court to pay him less? Skenes bout to become a house hold name tonight. Skubal’s just another good pitcher in a long list of em. Good rule in life is your employer doesn’t always have your best interest in mind.

That’s not even the point. Even if you believe that happened, the issue is this: the NCAA punished USC so harshly and so unevenly that for the next decade-plus we couldn’t even think about crossing a line. We were forced to play everything by the book while they turned a blind eye to other major programs doing the exact same thing and let them keep right on doing it.

People always ask me if I knew USC was paying players back when I was around the team and was a player, and my answer is always the same: honestly, no — we weren’t. After the NCAA dropped unprecedented, program‑altering sanctions on USC because of a non‑affiliated, wannabe agent who gave benefits to Reggie Bush’s parents, USC had no choice but to go by the book in every possible way. Everyone in college football knew the truth: other big programs were paying players and everyone looked the other way. But not USC. Not after what happened. The NCAA, the media, and rival programs watched USC like a hawk. Compliance wasn’t just a department — it was a lifestyle. We refused to even sniff the line, let alone cross it. And here’s the part that always blows people’s minds: we all knew Alabama was paying players. Everybody did. It was the worst‑kept secret in college football. But USC? We were the one school that absolutely couldn’t. We were under a microscope while other programs operated in broad daylight. As long as I live, I won’t be able to say enough how unfairly and badly the NCAA treated USC — and how those sanctions reshaped not just our program, but the entire landscape of college football. And now, with players from other schools openly admitting what everyone already knew… it just makes the whole thing even more frustrating. USC wasn’t paying players. We couldn’t. We were the example the NCAA chose to make.
No3 Sports@No3sports

Former Alabama running back Trent Richardson weighed in on Nick Saban’s stance against paying players. “Honestly, I don’t get why he’s even commenting on it, they gave me and my family $75,000 just to commit, plus $10,000 a month to stay at Alabama.”
