Jalen Brunson’s introductory press conference with the Knicks:
"Everywhere I've gone since high school, it's always been 'Jalen Brunson's good, but...' Always that 'but' like they're going to say something negative. Too slow, not athletic enough, too small, all those things that don't measure heart. That's what I have."

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

Do Good and Repair:
With God all things are possible, including the repair of that relationship that seems impossible. Seek God for how you may do good, give grace, and reconcile rather than retreat. God is able. #SARTruthTuesday #RelationshipsMatter
