This Awkward Life

If you didn't show the card you didn't get in back in the day. SAM's club has changed.

And if you’ve been here for any amount of time, you already know - The moments where you don’t quite have it together. The moments where faith feels real… but also a little awkward. And today, I want to talk about prayer. Because if we’re being honest, prayer is one of those things that can feel awkward fast.

Scientists have frozen bodies. Heads. Cells. Embryos. But no human being has ever been revived after cryonic freezing. And yet… people keep doing it. Some of the most famous, intelligent, wealthy people in history chose to be frozen after death—not because it works, but because maybe someday it could. That alone tells us something important about the human heart. We don’t just fear death. We fear...

Do not fall for repackaged goods, in any area of your life. Junk Cards

Friday January 16th 2026. Only five agencies have this contact in the entire State Of Mississippi. I am believing I will be the sixth. In Jesus Name.

Today is my wife's Birthday. I love her so much.

You ever notice how gift cards are supposed to be one of the easiest gifts to use… and somehow they’re the easiest to lose? They end up in wallets, junk drawers, coat pockets, or forgotten envelopes. And every year, billions of dollars in gift card value goes unused. Real money. Already paid for. Already owned. Just misplaced.

There’s an old image I came across called “Knocking on a Deaf Man’s Door.” And the first time I saw it, I felt it more than I understood it. Because if you’ve lived any amount of life, you know exactly what that feels like. You knock. You wait. You knock again—maybe a little louder this time. You’re hoping for movement. For a sound. For any sign that what you’re saying is being heard. But nothing...

In this episode, I share a simple moment that turned into a powerful lesson. While struggling to fix a tiny pin in a watch bracelet, frustration set in fast—but stepping back taught me something bigger: sometimes it’s okay to walk away and let someone else handle the small stuff. Tune in as I reflect on patience, perspective, and learning when to stop forcing things that just aren’t clicking.

That was the statement a Sunday school child made to me today. Wow! Eleven years old. Kids these days need their parents to be present.

You ever notice how easy it is to judge things by the outside? Two watches can look almost identical. Same steel. Same weight. Same shine on the wrist. From a distance, you’d swear they’re the same. But then you open them up. And what’s inside tells a completely different story. One has a movement that’s been carefully crafted, regulated, refined. The other works too—it keeps time—but it’s built d...

I bought a watch thinking only about market value—what I paid versus what I could get back out of it. It was supposed to be a flip. Easy math. Simple plan. Then I dropped it. The crystal cracked, the repair bill came in, and suddenly I had more in the watch than it was worth. At that point, selling it didn’t really make sense anymore. Once I had more invested than the market value, it stopped bein...

World War II sparked a notable surge in church attendance that extended into a full-blown postwar religious revival in America, challenging claims of decline. Polls and historical data from the era reveal packed pews as returning GIs, marriages, and baby booms fueled spiritual fervor. Mega church pastors citing negative effects may overlook this well-documented boom. Mark Driscoll's Take Post...

Imagine being bitten by a snake, not rushing to treat the wound, but chasing the serpent through the grass — desperate to ask why. Instead of healing, you circle back to the source of your pain, searching for answers that will never soothe the sting. This episode explores what it means to run after what hurt you, and the cost of confusing curiosity with closure.

Did you know that over 22,000 players have stepped up to the plate in Major League Baseball since 1876, yet only a tiny fraction—around 350—have earned the ultimate honor of the Hall of Fame? This stark contrast highlights how the everyday heroes, the common players who fill out rosters and grind through seasons, truly keep the game alive and thriving Significance isn't measured by spotlight o...

Joey Bishop, the quick-witted comedian and Rat Pack member, once delivered an iconic ad-lib during a performance at New York's Copacabana nightclub while opening for Frank Sinatra.​ In 1954, Marilyn Monroe entered the venue mid-act, draped in a glamorous floor-length white ermine coat, instantly captivating the audience and creating a buzz. Bishop paused his routine, waited silently for her to...

In this episode, we explore how simply driving someone else’s vehicle can reveal deeper insights about life. Every seat position, steering wheel angle, and dashboard setting reminds us that everyone has their own unique configuration — their own way of moving through the world. Sometimes, when we find ourselves in temporary situations that feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar, it’s wiser not to make d...

Lane has left Oxford. Fans lined up to cuss and jeer. Be mindful of people that admire you until you tell them no.

What's in the attic? A high-grade copy of  Superman No. 1  from 1939 was sold at auction for  over $9 million , setting a new record for the most expensive comic book ever sold. The specific sale price was reported as approximately $9.12 million.  The comic was recently discovered by three brothers in their late mother's California attic, protected only by a stack of old newspapers. Despit...

Faithfulness solves a-lot of problems.

When the penny finally fades from our pockets, it will not be missed for its worth but remembered for its symbol. It was the humblest witness of trade, the smallest voice in the great chorus of commerce. Its copper face, worn smooth by countless hands, spoke of patience, of the slow rhythm of exchange. When it disappears, it will remind us that even the smallest measures of value, like moments, ar...

On this day, in 1918, Ptv. Henry Gunther decided it wasn't over until the last shot was fired. Unfortunately, that last shot took his life. The Last man Private Henry Gunther was the last soldier killed in combat during World War I. He died at 10:59 a.m. on November 11, 1918, just one minute before the armistice went into effect at 11:00 a.m., ending the war. Gunther charged a German machine-g...

Would you rather a text or Phone call? Experts say AI says: Preferring texting over phone calls is not inherently selfish or one-sided; rather, it often reflects personal communication styles, emotional needs, and respect for boundaries. Many people choose texting because it offers cognitive control, allows time to think and compose responses, and reduces the social pressure and emotional intensit...
