Preaching a message tonight called “The Extra”
Most people want extra results while doing the bare minimum. But God has always rewarded the people willing to go further, stay longer, pray harder, and do what others refuse to do
🎼 And I never hoist the mainstay and I never swab the poop deck, and I never veer to starboard 'cause I never sail at all, and I've never walked the gang plank and I've never owned a parrot, and I've never been to Boston in the fall 🎶
You honor Christ at your job by:
• Arriving early and ready
• Working hard without grumbling
• Being a person of your word
• Treating coworkers with patience
• Avoiding all forms of gossip
Paul Skenes, Four Seam Fastball and Sinker, Overlay.
Both of these pitches are 98 mph. Even if you're timing up the velo, you're hosed.
One of many reasons hitting against Paul Skenes is a nightmare. 😳

The Heartland of Hockey is stronger than ever.
For nine months, my wife Brooklyn carried our baby boy knowing he was dying. Three months in, they told us he had severe hydrocephalus. Too much fluid crushing his brain. "Off the charts bad," the specialists at Cincinnati Children's said. So extreme they stopped measuring because it didn't matter anymore.
The MRIs were sickening to look at. They said over 90% chance he'd either die right after birth or survive with such severe brain damage that any quality of life was impossible. We had meetings about breathing tubes. About when to remove life support. About letting our son "pass peacefully."
Brooklyn moved to Cincinnati, lived in a hotel near the hospital in case she went into labor. I drove back and forth, working, trying to hold our family together while planning our baby's funeral. On July 8th, fifteen minutes before her C-section, we had another meeting about the breathing tube. About when we'd need to remove it and let him go to Heaven.
Then Charlie came out crying. The sweetest sound I've ever heard.
He stayed in intensive care until yesterday. Now he's home, doing everything babies do. Normal. Beautiful. The doctors have no medical explanation. His brain somehow cleared the blockage on its own, something they've never seen in a case this severe. Nurses with decades of experience kept saying "miracle" and "divine intervention."
Thousands of people were praying for us. Friends, family, strangers, people we'd never met. I'm practical, I believe in science, but I know God was involved in this. I give Him all the credit.
During those endless nights in Cincinnati, I started woodworking in the hotel parking lot just to keep my hands busy, to stop my mind from breaking. Made small toys hoping one day Charlie might hold them. Listed a few things on the Tedooo app where I'd been selling my work, and strangers started buying pieces they didn't need, sending messages saying they were praying for our son. That community held me when I couldn't stand.
Charlie's here. He's alive. Prayer is real, and miracles still happen.

Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.
Disney made $3.7 billion in its most recent quarter. $3.3 billion of that was from theme parks and cruise ships. Sports made $4.9 billion in revenue, but only made $191 million in profit. Disney is basically an amusement park & cruise company now.
Any Christian who votes democrat again is a fool. They’re showing people that it’s ok to disrupt a church during worship. This is how they truly feel about you. The veil is lifted. No morals. No integrity. It’s not enough for them to have an opinion, they’ve escalated to physical intrusion of places of worship. The demons inside of them are so bothered. All the time.
