Dropped off this gal at the airport as she is headed to Kenya 🇰🇪 for 10 days. Please join me in praying for the The Bucket Ministry team and the college students headed that way. May the Lord use this team for His glory! He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. - Mark 16:15

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leave a memory no one can steal. Pray for our family.

Day 23 posting this song until it goes viral!

@HeIsInTheBoat This describes you, my sweet friend♥️

@Coach_JKHuff Well said!

✍🏽Parents please take the time… Make the time to listen to your Children! They will tell you everything you need to know. Sometimes we have to simply LISTEN. We cant always protect them from what will be said to them but we can equip them with the appropriate tools to respond in excellence. If no one told you - You are doing a great job. I’m very Proud of you. I know it’s not easy but the unconditional Love you show your children is needed - keep going🫶🏽. “You have a Dream. Protect It. “ #LFRF👣 #momlife🩵🩵🩵 #countdown

@HeIsInTheBoat Love you sweet friend♥️

@shane_pruitt78 Shew! Preach!! This is so good!

As parents, we help our kids... -prepare for tests at school -practice for tryouts in sports -learn to play an instrument -build an impressive bio But, are we actually doing anything to invest in their soul? We must remember that our kids will stand before Jesus one day too.

The Packers and coach Matt LaFleur have agreed to terms on a multiyear contract extension, sources say. After extensive talks, the sides agreed to a deal to keep LaFleur in Green Bay, where he’s 76-40-1 with six playoff trips in seven seasons.

@HeIsInTheBoat I’ve wanted to talk to you for so long! Hope you’re doing ok. Hope you guys had a blessed Christmas! We love you guys!

Friends- This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die. Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do. I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all. Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints. There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come. Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son. A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears. Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet. Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective: “When we've been there 10,000 years…We've no less days to sing God's praise.” I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape. But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9). With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices, Ben — and the Sasses

Going for a D&C right now after 4 days of bleeding, clots and contractions. Pray it goes smoothly 😭 if they can they will collect tissue from the pregnancy to send in for testing to find out why we lost this baby so just pray 🖤

@abarefootmomma 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have spent the last 13 weeks growing and loving on our fourth child just for it to end in loss. We named him Elias which means Yahweh is my God. I never want to make a post like this again. The third time has shattered us.
