Can we all agree that it wouldn’t be a trip to @Lowes without another trip to Lowe’s?

@Matt_Pinner @DasDposting Maybe the size of the “beverage”?

@DasDposting How do you know 🤣

Can you identify what wrong with this family?

Every W-2 employee should own a vending machine. Here's why:

@OldHollowTree Imagine how much more time you get with them by homeschooling. (Sorry man, had to do it.)

Everything before my children feels so long ago. Lifetimes in years, but in a good way.

Why do you look for the living amongst the dead?

@anothergngrmech @AchillesDVR We just had our fourth, and I’m in my early 40’s. I’m regretting we didn’t have more in between and we hope for a few more. There are rough spots, but there’s something about the Lord blessing you with more when you’re older. Praying for both of you in this season. It’ll be fun.

@AchillesDVR I don't blame you lol, I'm also late 30s but I want at least a third. I am also what is usually known as "retarded" though, so grain of salt or whatever

Everyone, I’d like to introduce you to my daughter, [FULL NAME REDACTED]. She was born sometime ago, weighing multiple pounds and several ounces. This will be the only picture I ever post of her on here. So enjoy it.

@thisisfoster I appreciate this. I have 2 questions for you (if you have the chance). 1. How would you approach this in premarital counseling? Where one person has a sexual history and the other doesn’t. 2. What resource or book do you use or recommend for premarital counseling? Thank you!

I started working on that article responding to the different kinds of outrage stirred up by that viral marriage post. It’s turning into what will likely just be a chapter in It’s Good to Be Married, dealing with how to think about a potential spouse’s past. What became clear as I worked through it is that there’s a real kind of grief underneath many of those reactions. There are people who fear that their spouse’s pre-marriage past, even if forgiven and under the blood, will remain an ever-present part of their marriage. That’s a reasonable concern, and it’s something that needs to be worked through before vows are taken. At the same time, there’s an exaggerated and often online-driven fear that the only available spouses are those with long, lurid sexual histories who will drag that past into the center of the relationship. Yes, those people exist. But so do people who don’t have that kind of past, and people who, having genuinely repented, are willing to lay everything on the table before marriage so it can be left there. On the other side, there’s another fear—this one from people who have made real mistakes. They worry that they’ll never be allowed to leave their past behind, that it will be held over them indefinitely, or used to disqualify them from marriage altogether. That concern is also reasonable. There are people who won’t let the past stay in the past, and there are marriages where one spouse says they can handle it, only to weaponize it later when things get hard. But there are also plenty of sober, honest people, people who know their own sin, who are capable of making a clear-eyed judgment about whether they can truly leave something behind and move forward in good faith. Because of years of pornography, hookup culture, and a general collapse in sexual standards, this is an issue we’re going to have to help a lot of young couples navigate. That requires real wisdom and a willingness to live in tension. To write someone off as “damaged goods,” or on the other hand to say, “it’s all under the blood, so you’re not allowed to treat it like it has any ongoing consequences,” are both attempts to find an easy button. Both approaches avoid the harder work. The harder work is walking with a couple and helping them sort out, honestly, whether this is a wise, long-term union. That takes time, clarity, and the willingness to deal with real questions about trust, patterns, repentance, and future stability.

@Brian_Sauve The guy’s response is juvenile and immature. It’s like his parents never read any Reb Bradley.

These people are—and I cannot emphasize this enough—stupid and evil.

I’m almost never alone. There’s usually somebody in the room, or just down the hall. But tonight it’s quiet, just me and my German Shepherd out on the back porch. Fire going. Papers spread out. I’m working through church officer training for this Saturday. The house is in that in-between state. I’m looking forward to my kids getting home. Some are at a roller rink with my wife, one’s out with his wife somewhere, another’s at a young adult Bible study. The usual noise of the house is scattered across the county tonight. So for a little while, it’s just me. And I found myself thinking about you single guys. Not the ones who’ve chosen it and are content there. I mean the ones who want a wife. Who want a house full of life and noise and responsibility. The ones who feel the quiet a little more than they’d like to admit. I just want you to know, tonight, I’m praying for you. Don’t lose heart. Don’t drift. Don’t let the waiting make you soft or bitter. The world doesn’t need more boys killing time. It needs you. It needs steady, godly men. Men who are ready when the Lord puts something in their hands to build. Stay at it. God sees you. And in His time, He knows how to fill a house. Until then, don’t grow weary in doing good.

@HSchenewark You may have answered this previously, but where are you located? Is it a high or low trust area?

1. Most of the people who rent these tables are doing it for yard sales. Second most common reason is for birthday parties. 2. We've only had one customer return the tables later than expected. She rented several for a bachelorette party, and ended up losing her thumb riding a mechanical bull. Gnarly. She kept in contact with us during the 2 or 3 weeks it took for her to bring them back. Her friend eventually returned them. We didn't charge her extra and were much more worried about her than the tables. 3. 90% of people pick it up from our porch and drop if off. Occasionally we'll do drop off and pick up. We'll usually charge $10 extra for that. We've never had tables stolen by customers or off our porch. We had some returned when we were out of town and when we returned two weeks later, they were still there. 4. The rentals are overwhelmingly for the weekend. What this means is that a lot of people hold onto them for a week. We don't need them back Monday morning, so if they drop them off on Wednesday, that's great. 5. There's no paperwork, this is a low-stakes, high-trust arrangement. 6. Most people rent multiple. More people rent 4 than 1. If you only need one table, than you'll buy one or make do without it. I also wouldn't want to do this for $15/interaction. When the average ticket if $40-60, that makes it more worthwhile. 6. We wipe the tables off but we've never had one returned dirty. Some come back dusty from the yard sales but that's it. 7. There's better ways to make money. I run my own company, so I understand the basics of business. However, I still think this is one of the easiest. You could scale with chairs and set-up and take-down or adding other options, but I'm not interested in that. The money pays for date night and we've met great people which is nice. That's all we want to get out of it. If you like learning about business, follow me as I'll continue to share the highs and lows and journey of building my asphalt company.

@TanneriteCortez What’s the over under on this article showing up on @gospelcoalition? 6 months?

Young men, I’ve got some bad news. If a woman who had transition surgery to be a man has now come to faith, and wants to be a godly wife and you don’t pursue her simply because of her past and physical condition… Then you are denying the transforming power of the gospel (and probably aren’t saved) In fact, I would much rather my sons marry a repentant woman who mutilated herself in an attempt to be a man than one of these self righteous heifers (you can tell because they aren’t covered in tats) who looks like a woman and can have babies. I am very pious and understand the gospel better than you.

@thisisfoster What is your current “kid Bible” preference? We also used the Greatest Story Bible for our first three, but we’ve changed in a similar fashion to you.

@DavidAFrench Do you look in the mirror and think, "How could I be incredibly insufferable today?" Then, after you have formulated that thought, do you ask AI how to make it 10x worse?

"American hatred is growing so great that partisans, perversely enough, often view kindness and tolerance from political opponents as a threat. The only good people are people who agree with them. The supposedly decent person on the other side? We have a name for him or her, a wolf in sheep’s clothing." nytimes.com/2026/03/15/opi…

@tylerthewretch @alphafox Right? “Oh, you spit up into my mustache and you pooped through your diaper into your onesie? No worries, let’s take care of it.” I feel bad for the dude, but all us moms and dads have been there.

@alphafox Makes me miss my son being that age. When it’s your kid, it’s not so bad.

The longer you watch, the worse it gets. 🤮

@AuronMacintyre Not even a full 365 days since the last one.

Oh good We’re doing the “Deny Christ for a foreign nation or else” thing again

@OldHollowTree We ordered for a friend, and you all provided some amazing customer service. I'll order a few for the wife's birthday.

Perhaps you’d like to surprise your wife or husband with a massive wood grain candle from hummingmeadow dot com?

@jchasedavis I missed these. Wait, my bad... AMEN!!!

BLESSED IS THE NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD. COMMENT AMEN IFYOU AGREE!!

@RettCopple Reposting this to my one follower, but this is a great post.

One of the things I run into when I begin to reassert a natural patriarchal role in helping your adult children with housing, building equity, or just launching successfully is the rebuttal from the modern conventional "wisdom" that "you're just making them dependent." What they're saying is that if you help your 18-25 year old too much to get established they'll never learn to be responsible. But this assumes a modern premise that the patriarchal mind rejects, which is that responsibility is learned in adulthood. It is not, or if it is, it is much harder to learn because irresponsible habits have already taken root. If, at 18, your child has not learned to be responsible then you have failed at raising them. By 18 they should have washed the dishes, taken out the trash, mowed the yard, fed the animals, and made the family dinner a thousand times over. Ironically, by doing all of the above for them in their childhood, the modern parents have done the very thing they accuse patriarchal fathers of doing for their kids in adulthood. They have failed to teach them responsibility, for themselves and for others. The very thing they will need to be productive adults. And they have failed to do this at the precise age where it is possible to have that kind of parental influence. If, at 18, you only then concern yourself with teaching responsibility and building a good work ethic in your child, you have failed to capitalize on their formative years, and they are more likely influenced by other adults or peers more than you. The whole purpose of the patriarchal model is to raise men and women specifically for a task, suitable to their gender/nature, and then do everything in your power to make sure they succeed at that task. This, hopefully, for the glory of Christ and the benefit of their fellow man. We will never have another aristocracy without patriarchy.
