After 200 days & 10,000 miles traveled I made my way back home to Saint Louis & completed my first moneyless journey

The mountains are calling and I must go 🚐

We have the responsibility to free our children from the bondage of screens and invite them into the reality of freedom from technology back to nature - back to God

You don't get a do over and you can't go back in time, so try your best right now and love who you've got.

There is a war on your attention. Whatever captures the devotion of your gaze you have empowered and becomes your god.

I trust everything that the media tells me. The government will never lie to me. Everything I was taught in my government funded public school is fact. That is why anyone who questions big brother is dangerous and must be put into a concentration camp to keep me safe.

There is no basis for morals in a worldview that says we are a result of random mutations & evolutionary processes.

All of nature screams of a divine designer. The intricacies of creation & the reality of morals shouts of a personal creator. All logic & reason leads to the truth of God. The world denies God because people do not want to be accountable for their evil deeds.

@Rebeccawhitneyy Yes we are of dirt but we are more than dirt - humans are created in the image of God. We have a conscience that is very much different than dirt & animals. You have been given the gift of compassion, responsibility, & accountability to take care of all of creation.

@SunshineShark I think believing we are not animals - above animals- is more so our problem. When you envision yourself as something that is better/more than the very dirt we are made from all living things suffer.

We have a generation taught that they are animals. That there is no God. That they are nothing more than a cosmic accident, have no purpose, and that life has no meaning.

Because the acceptance of that fact comes with the fact that you are accountable for all of your life, that Gods morals are true, and that God calls everyone to repentance to the savior Jesus Christ. And nobody wants to do that.

Then people are shocked when drugs are being used to try and numb the pain of meaningless life. But when someone stands up and proclaims that life has meaning and you were created in the image of the living God, society revolts.

Most people are not on a truth pursuit. Most people are on a happiness pursuit and they will just believe whatever makes them happy.

As long as our happiness is routed in something that can be taken away, we are not happy.

Jesus is real. He is God, He is omnipresent, & all He wants to do is love you. My entire life has changed because I was in darkness but now I’m in His glorious light. He has given me joy, peace, & pleasures unexplainable. It is impossible to articulate this feeling of great love.

Real men stand up and fight for those who cannot stand up and fight for themselves.

Do you do what you know is right even when people are not looking? Are you able to be kind and understanding even when someone is hostile and arrogant toward you?

There is no feeling on this earth greater than the joy of knowing the extravagant love of God and that He made you just the way He likes it.

Why live for temporary pleasures and lusts when this life is a vapor quickly passing away. Live for what will change the world forever, live for what is eternal.
