The best gift you can give your child isn’t more toys.
Not a bigger house.
Not even the best school.
It’s a sibling.
Someone who comes from the same place you do.
Someone who remembers the same kitchen smells, the same family stories, the same hard days when things weren’t easy.
One day, when parents are no longer around, siblings are still there.
They carry the memories.
They remember your childhood with you.
They know who you were before the world got to you.
A sibling teaches things no book ever will.
How to share without being asked.
How to forgive and move on.
How to stand up for someone just because they’re yours.
In a world that pushes people to be “independent” and alone, siblings quietly save children from loneliness.
They fight. They compete. They drift apart at times.
But when life hits hard, they almost always find their way back to each other.
Money comes and goes.
Status fades.
Friends change with time.
But a sibling stays.
Messy. Imperfect. Real.
And deeply precious.
Give your child a brother or a sister.
You’re not splitting love.
You’re giving them more of it.

The loudest worshiper in our church was also the one everyone wished would stay quiet.
She said things like “Amen!” and “Thank you Jesus!!”
No one else in the room spoke that freely....ever.
She was new and different and joyful.
One Sunday I saw the woman in front of her turn around and stare.
Not a curious look either...
A hard one. She spun around every time that woman opened her mouth.
It beat me to the punch.
My first thought was not celebration.
It was embarrassment.
I worried visitors might think we were strange.
The pastor met with her at the request of the deacons.
She kept right on praising every week after that.
One morning she shouted “Thank you Jesus” during a point that cut right to her heart.
Half the room tightened up.
I noticed many shift in the pew as if praise had no place in a Baptist sanctuary.
The room grew quiet. She stayed loud.
That was when it hit me.
She was not interrupting the service.
She was interrupting our tradition.
And the real problem was not her voice.
It was my fear.
I had been more worried about our comfort than her worship.
I worried about appearances more than Scripture.
More worried about preserving the style of the room than letting joy break into it.
Maybe God did not send her just to test the church.
Maybe he sent her to wake me up.
Because every church takes notes.
Not on the sermon outline.
On the hearts of the people in the pew.
I learned that day that quiet can be a tradition.
And sometimes God puts one loud saint in the room to remind you what praise is supposed to sound like.
Let your church be the place where joy is welcomed instead of managed.

The Bible is so clear on how important it is never to look back. Not at an old position, an old ex, an old friendship, or even old ways that God has brought you out of. There are many people in the Bible but in clear words, God tells us to "remember Lot's wife"; who turned into a pillar of salt! Stuck in time. I pray that when you're tempted to "go back", he reminds you that you have so much to look forward to.

I used to love my wife because she earned it.
When she was kind, I was kind.
When she respected me, I respected her.
When she didn't—I didn't.
Marriage was a transaction.
A balance sheet.
I gave what I got.
Nothing more.
Then one Sunday our pastor said something I couldn't shake.
"The way you treat your wife is the way you treat the Lord."
I thought he was being poetic.
He wasn't.
That night I looked at my wife.
Really looked.
She was exhausted.
The kids had been brutal.
The house was chaos.
And I was keeping score.
Waiting for her to earn my kindness.
That's when it hit me:
I wasn't loving a woman.
I was worshiping myself.
Every act of service I withheld was worship I stole from God.
Every cold shoulder was an altar to my ego.
Every "she started it" was a prayer to my own righteousness.
Marriage isn't a contract between two people.
It's an offering to the One who made them.
I started loving her differently.
Not because she deserved it.
Because He does.
I served her when she didn't thank me.
I pursued her when she pulled away.
I led when I didn't feel like leading.
Not for applause.
For an audience of One.
She noticed.
Not right away.
But one night she said:
"You're different. What happened?"
I told her the truth.
"I stopped loving you to get something back."
"I started loving you to give something up."
She didn't understand at first.
Now she does.
When you love your spouse as an act of worship
Everything shifts.
The scoreboard disappears.
The transaction ends.
And marriage becomes what it was always supposed to be.
A daily death to self.
A living sacrifice.
An act of worship disguised as a Wednesday night doing dishes.
Your spouse isn't your enemy.
They're your offering.
Treat them like one.

A single Facebook post can change your entire life — and for me, it truly did. It’s humbling to look back and realize that everything I’m doing today started with one simple post I made in 2015.
Long before any of this happened, I remember praying and asking God to use me as His vessel. He didn’t answer that day… or that month… or even that year. But a few years later, on a day I never saw coming, He showed me exactly what He had been preparing me for.
I’m still in awe of everything that has unfolded since. If you ask God to use you, He will — but it won’t always be on your timeline. During the waiting, He’s shaping you, strengthening you, and getting you ready for the moment your purpose unfolds. Trust the process.

The best thing my wife did raising our kids is completely lose her cookies one day and threw the iPads and all the TV remotes in the trash can. Kids lost it…
It took about 2-3 days, and our kids became kids again. Building forts, playing in the woods, using their imagination to create scenes, games, and fun. It was a wild transformation to watch unfold.
Three days of pain for a decade of fun. It was well worth it.

I'm glad the villain of the new Toy Story is a child's tablet. I hope the film conveys how screens eat up a child's hobbies, interests, literacy, ability to function socially. I hope it provokes millions of parents to think twice before making the iPad a babysitter.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act. She made us proud to be Democrats, and will go down in history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had. Nancy, thank you for your leadership and your friendship. Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in this next chapter.

If Jay Jones becomes the Attorney General of Virginia, every conservative in the state will know that the chief law enforcement officer thinks that they deserve to be murdered along with their children. They will also know that the Democrat voters in the state -- their own neighbors, friends, and even family members -- have endorsed that sentiment. It will be the death of any sense of legitimacy in the system. The kind of thing that starts civil wars. I'm not saying there will be one. I'm saying it's the kind of thing that starts one.
