My sweet lady is starting 1st grade tomorrow and dad is moving into a new office at a new school. What a blessing, eh? The Lord always provides. I hope we both really have our hearts and minds challenged this year.

Connect with me at #NCSC26! I hope to be a blessing. #SAT #ACT #outcomes!

So great to spend time with Alvina and her husband at the Purdue Farmers Market today for lunch. The sun was out!

Praise the Lord for this faithful message. Our sinful hearts and worldly logic will naturally explain it away. Forgive me Lord for my shortcomings. Help me finish this race in your joy.

To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones. I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them. One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.” It knocked me back. I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?” I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running. That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there. I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there. I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace. People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version. I'll tell you why. Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him. I'm here to tell him: that's a lie. In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after. The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are. You just have to stop running.

So proud of Stella finishing 1st grade today. We have so much to be thankful for.

Literally resigned from Purdue yesterday. It’s good to do your work well but… so quick.

Thanks for the highlight @butleru Magazine.

Tonight was the last night of Wednesday night church until the fall. I’m so proud of Stella for giving it her best and earning a certificate. I enjoyed serving with some fine gentleman this term.

Happy Mother’s Day. 💐

Ran into President Danko today. Told him it was a great first year here at Butler.

Happy graduation from the @butlerLSB Business Technology & Analytics faculty. Looking forward to the college reception tomorrow. One of my former BAIMers caught me in the crowd. #Butler

By Cybil Stillson,..."Just down the road, the Cru House tells a quieter story—written not in scoreboards, but in names along its entryway, shared conversations and moments of faith." So thankful to serve with @crutweets and @AIAusa. cstillson0.wixsite.com/my-si…

I’m finishing a decade teaching college students and am thankful I’ve never had to fail anyone. Thankful for the #opportunities to “work it out” and share why I show them grace when most don’t deserve it. #highered

The people saw a man restored, but they also saw the cost. Rather than rejoice that Jesus had delivered him, they became afraid and asked Him to leave. Christ’s power can disturb our comfort, values, possessions, and life. Will we welcome Him or ask Him to leave? Matt. 8:28-34

Little cool today at Soccer. The kids are getting better!

We got babies. 🐣
