Dad Moves "Five minute windows" Carve out some time each week to give each child a few dedicated minutes of your time. Maybe its five minutes. Maybe it's more. No agenda. Not "hot topics". No bringing up the spilled milk from two days ago. Just individual focused Dad time.

Nobody tells you this: You can win by just embracing what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

How would you handle this LAD,D1,D2 trifurcation.

Good advice

Sometimes trusting the Lord means letting Him reshape the plans you once felt sure about. Follow Him when the path is clear—and when it isn’t. He knows you perfectly and understands your needs completely.

NEW: Man jumps out of his car and saves two toddlers from getting hit after they walked into the middle of a busy road in Brevard County, Florida. The toddlers had snuck out of a backyard, and the parents didn't even realize they were gone. John Brittingham, a father of 5 and a grandfather, said his life would have been ruined if something happened to them. "I was terrified. If anything would've happened to them, my whole life would have been ruined," Brittingham said. Hero.

It's angioplasty's birthday! #OTD in 1964, using a series of catheters of increasing diameter, Charles Dotter opened a blocked femoral artery w/o surgery. He called it "angioplasty" & made a film to demonstrate it. His radical concept was rejected by US surgeons but embraced by Europeans, ultimately resulting in Gruentzig's balloon which revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. A personal note: today is also my birthday, so I guess I was born to do this!🤣🎈❤️‍🩹#AngioHistory

2 weeks ago the field of medicine lost a giant: Tom Fogarty, inventor of numerous devices, the balloon embolectomy catheter, AneuRx Endovascular Aortic Stent Graft, Hancock Tissue Heart Valve & many more. He held almost 200 patents, co-founded more than 45 medical technology companies, & created an institute to spur medical device innovation. Here's a short clip from my interview with him (from our archives). #AngioHistory

I love Elder Holland. R.I.P.

How to raise capable children

A man from Romania heard Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration speech in New York City and has a warning for America He says Zohran Mamdani used the EXACT SAME words they heard before socialism crushed their country “We will replace the fragility of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. Famous words spoken by every communist in history. Hi, my name is Bogdan and this is exactly how communism came to power in my country, Romania, via collectivism. First, they confiscated private land. Then they used terror to enforce collectivism. The regular Romanian citizens were arrested, beat up, humiliated publicly, left to rot in prison, and some even executed. The next step for collectivism was destroying the independent farmer class. These people were a threat to the regime because they were able to stay self-sufficient and did not rely on the state. Independence was, and still is, the biggest threat to communism. They made it in such a way that owning more than others was a crime. Once all that happened, the communists started confiscating the food from farmers, leaving families to die. They also confiscated the livestock raised by people. This resulted in famine, malnutrition, and the collapse of productivity. Romania literally went from being the number one exporter of grain in Europe to chronic shortages of food. But that wasn't enough. The communists then banned free market. No free sale of crops, no private trades, no bargaining, classic socialist failure. But collectivism wasn't just economic. It was cultural as well. In Romania, they attacked the church and religious people. They replaced family authority with party authority, all with one goal in mind: replace faith and family with the state. 15 years later, the communists declared victory. 90% of all farmland in Romania was collectivized. Bottom line, Romanian collectivism was forced, violent, economically disastrous, morally corrupt, and designed to control, not help. Only for today in the United States of America to be in New York City. I swear to God, some Americans are the dumbest morons on the planet.”

For more than 20 years I put my hands up in celebration on the gridiron. Now, I put my hands up to the One that gave me all my talents and abilities — the King of my life, Jesus Christ. I’ve never claimed to be perfect, but my aim is for the direction of my life to honor Christ and I pray my faith increases. So I do want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, whether you’re solo, with family, or friends, and if you haven’t done so, put your faith in Him who can save, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given” (Isaiah 9:6). On this sacred day, may we remember that perfect babe cradled in a manger. He is the reason we rejoice, celebrate, and give gifts today. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is the gift.

This has been my favorite for as long as I can remember, and still I just learned something new. When Linus recites Luke: 8-14, it’s the one time he isn’t holding his security blanket. Because in that moment, he doesn’t need it.

Believe that there is a particular gift in this season for you. Seek for quiet, solitary moments when you can ponder, pray, and feel the loving-kindness of the One whose birth makes any joy in any life possible.
