The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him. esv.to/Nah1.7

New audio and video of a sermon preached at Church Creek PCA in Charleston, SC: "Christ-Loving Exiles" (1 Pet. 1:6–12) church-creek.org/sermons/ser…

“With the troubles of this life, take them as they come, cheerfully and contentedly, thankfully praising God that there is good in the evil, and sweetness in the bitter. Take it all. It will not last long.” — Spurgeon

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

And my favorite are the final words: Ps 22:31 “that He has done it.” John 19:30 “it is finished.”

"Humility is both a grace, and a vessel to receive grace. There is none that sees so much need of grace as humble souls. There is none that prizes grace like humble souls. There is none that improves grace like humble souls. Therefore, God singles out the humble soul to fill him to the brim with grace, when the proud is sent empty away." – Thomas Brooks, The Unsearchable Riches of Christ

We are all brokenhearted. We have all been deeply hurt. So let us never forget: The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up our wounds. (Psalms 34:18; 147:3)

On this Veterans I’m thankful that my dad came home from his year in Vietnam in 1969. Here’s his story on The Citadel’s website citadel.edu/english/veterans…

October 20, 1990: The Citadel beat the University of South Carolina on a touchdown with 22 seconds left to win 38-35.

Forgiven sin is the basis of the Christian life. Forsaken sin is the growth of the Christian life. ~ @hbcharlesjr

If the enemies of Christ wanted to kill off Christianity, they would have simply had to present the body of Jesus after they buried him, and dispelled any notion that he was raised from the dead. They couldn’t do so because Christ physically rose from the dead.

Today marks 55 years for my folks. #Grateful

Uvalde High School won their first game tonight thanks to an amazing run followed by a phenomenal one handed grab with just seconds to go. 34-28 final. Sports are awesome.

The greatest paper airplane throw of all time

“Justice Thomas is the one justice in the building that literally knows every employee’s name, every one of them. . . . he is a man who cares deeply about the court as an institution, about the people who work there — about people.” - Justice Sotomayor
