Prayer is not just something you do flippantly before a meal or before an event Prayer is a direct conversation with God, a chance to unburden yourself before him Jesus prayed daily as a way to grow closer to the father There is divine power in prayer #NationalPrayerDay

I think we’ve lost the plot on youth basketball. It’s probably happening in other sports too, but basketball is the world I know. Growing up, basketball was the neighborhood game. All you needed was a ball and a hoop. It was simple, accessible, and we’d play for hours without thinking twice about it. I’d call myself a pretty good high school player. I started on a solid team and loved competing. AAU wasn’t really part of the equation back then. I played in a few tournaments with friends, but everyone understood what it was. If you were elite, you played for Indiana Elite or Spiece. If you weren’t, you just kept hooping where you were. There wasn’t this pressure that you had to be in it. Now it feels like the entire model has flipped. Kids from kindergarten through high school are paying thousands just to be on a team. And if you want to play, there’s always a team ready for you because there’s money to be made. But it doesn’t stop there. Parents are paying $60/head every weekend just to watch. Some places are charging for parking. Tournaments are partnering with hotels and requiring teams to stay there just to participate. Then you show up and games are running an hour behind, officials are barely engaged, and someone’s parent is losing their mind over playing time. Somewhere along the way, the focus shifted. This isn’t about saying AAU is all bad. There are real positives. Kids get exposed to different competition, build friendships, and experience things they wouldn’t otherwise. But it’s hard to ignore what it’s becoming. For a lot of kids, this isn’t building a love for the game. It’s turning it into a transaction. A schedule. A bill. And that’s the part that feels off. It would just be nice if the kids were back at the center of it all.

Comparison is something I've had to fight hard. And for a long time I didn't even realize what I was really doing. Every time I looked at someone else's life, their team, their title, their success, I was quietly telling God He made a mistake with mine. But here's what I've learned: you cannot be grateful and comparing at the same time. I believe they cannot coexist. So today I want to challenge you — stop auditing someone else's blessing. Your calling, your story, your design is not an accident. God doesn't make mistakes. 🎙️: Lifestyle Podcast

Jaden Ivey on becoming a Christian: “I’m not the same player I used to be. That’s why. I’m not the J.I. I used to be. The old J.I. is dead. I’m alive in Christ no matter what the basketball setting is.”

“I wish at [my player’s] age, I would’ve gone much deeper into a relationship with Jesus Christ… To me, the most important thing is to God with all my heart, soul, & mind.” - Tennessee HC Rick Barnes (via @TreyWallace)

NEW: Kentucky family rejects $26 million offer to convert part of their farm into a data center despite the offer being about 10 times the going rate for farmland in the area. "If it's my way, I'll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesn't mean anything." "As long as I'm on this land, as long as it's feeding me, as long as it's taking care of me, there's nothing that can destroy me if I've got this land." Video: Local 12 WKRC

I was always angry, and I had a huge hole in my heart. Nothing made me happy. Then I got married to a God-fearing woman, and at home she would read the Bible every morning. After a while she said, "do you want me to read aloud to you?" So I sat down, and she started reading the Bible aloud to me, every morning. Eventually I said, "Well, let me read it," and so I started to read it aloud to her. And then it was like the Lord said to me "Chuck, it's time to come home. It's been long enough." And now my heart is filled up again.' ☩ Chuck Norris 1940-2026

Left side is a human lung. Right side is a tree. The tree breathes in what the lung breathes out. The lung breathes in what the tree breathes out. God's design is incredible.

President Trump has clarified # 5. Parental consent will never make child abuse acceptable.

Parents should be involved in their kids' healthcare decisions, but mutilation isn't healthcare; it's abusive butchery. Number 5 here is way off the mark.

“No trans surgery for children without parental consent” is meaningless. The kids who are mutilated almost always have parental consent. The consent of the parents is not the issue. The issue is that the procedure is barbaric and insane, no matter if parents agree to it or not.

This says it all

"Something good happened that benefited the United States and the rest of the world. But the rest of the world includes Israel. That makes me angry. So I will pretend like something bad has happened."

With God, there are no coincidences. 2,500 years ago, a tyrant named Haman was killed in Persia—modern day Iran—before he had a chance to wipe out every Jew in the Persian Empire. It’s all recounted in the Book of Esther and is commemorated each year at the Jewish holiday of Purim. Purim begins this year on March 3rd, just a few days away. And now another genocidal Persian ruler, Ayatollah Khamenei, has been eliminated before he had a chance to carry out his evil plans. At Purim. No coincidences.

@MattWalshBlog So well said and very true

As always I only support military action anywhere, in any context, if it directly serves the interests of American citizens. It’s troubling that the arguments we’re hearing for this war in Iran, including from Trump himself, seem to revolve primarily around “bringing freedom to the Iranian people.” As Americans, the freedom of Iranians is not our responsibility. If a single American life is lost in the service of that goal, it will be a travesty. What nobody has even come close to sufficiently explaining is how this war will first and foremost directly benefit American citizens. That is a case that needed to have been made clearly and convincingly before this move, and it wasn’t. We’re also told how this will benefit Israel, and I’m sure it will. But Israel is not America. What does it do for America? How does it help us? That needs to be explained to us. And it isn’t “panicking” or demonstrating “disloyalty” to demand those very basic answers about how American tax money, and potentially American lives, are being spent. We hear about the danger of a nuclear Iran, but that’s odd because we were told that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had already been set back decades. We hear that this war will be over quickly and easily because Iran is powerless, which I hope and pray is the case, and maybe it will be. But that’s odd, too, because if Iran is such a paper tiger then how were they a danger to us in the first place? It seems hard to argue both that Iran is an existential threat to the United States and that we can topple them in 20 minutes with no casualties or negative downstream effects. Also the political calculation really matters here. A huge majority of American oppose this. That’s just a fact. If it costs Republicans in 26 and 28, then, no matter how things work out in Iran, it will not have been worth it. A free Iran at the cost of Democrat rule here at home is a bad deal. A free Iran for an unfree America would be just about the worst trade of the century. I’m praying for our great country today.

@AndrewKolvet An intentional move to escalate, to draw more players into the fray

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has reportedly joined the military operations against the Iranian regime after a US base in Saudi Arabia was attacked: "The Iranians made a BIG mistake by firing on Arab coalition partners."

@DavyhulmeGolf Wow!

An exciting discovery on the course today⛳ Following the appearance of a sinkhole on the 13th hole, our greens team uncovered what appears to be an old cellar, believed to date back to the original manor house. Over 100 years old and filled with historic wine and port bottles

In a world full of Megan Rapinoes, be a Jack Hughes

Unhappy, lefty Democrat women say pregnancies in Trump admin are a political propaganda ploy. Conservative married women with children consistently poll as the happiest demographic in America. This is clearly blowing up feminist narratives & literally driving them crazy!🤪
