My amazing son, Corban my best friend died in a car accident late last night. He was 21. I cannot imagine what this world will be like without him. I love that he loved life & Jesus, and I loved our @Ravens @Vol_Football @ManUtd -- games. You are loved & missed.

@christomlin Amen! 🙏 I was in the Choir Room Choir on Friday night, thanks for the awesome opportunity. It was like nothing I have experienced and I believe a glimpse into what Heaven will be like.

What was the first Christian song that made you feel God’s presence?

What a terrible way to show gratitude for the greatest job in the world — getting paid to encourage people. If you want to make an event planner furious, do that. If you want a long, sustainable, fun career — do the opposite. Show up to serve, not to be served.

How to make an event planner furious. If you're a public speaker like me, your number one job is to make the event planner look like a rockstar.

@chesterwgoad You lead a drama club? Awesome. Would love to discuss it with you sometime. Teaching afterschool drama has been one of the best things I have done as an educator.

While many are stepping away from K-12, I boxed up my university office and walked back into a middle school classroom. It wasn’t a step backward. ...Am I crazy?

@PrincipalProj @DrBradJohnson Hmm... maybe if somebody puts out a hand, shake it? Yesterday, I watched a kid say "good game" after a board game & the other kid just looked at him like he didn't know what to do. Lol. I know there could be many reasons for this, but teaching how to respond would be great!

@ZBauermaster Yep! Staying positive is intentional rather than reactionary.

Do you know why there's so much negativity in the world? It's easy to be negative. People like easy and they like to fit in. Staying positive takes a little more effort and intentionality. Don't blend in with the world. Be realistic but stay positive. The world needs it.
