Between 93–95% of the in-person time you’ll spend with your children will happen before they turn 18. The final 5–7% will be stretched out over the next 50 years. Parent with that reality in mind. —@JonTyson

Introducing a new look for OCC! We’ve updated our logo, focusing on the cross of Christ as we continue to make him known through the church. Logos come and go, but our mission of training men and women for Christian service remains the same.

When I text someone and it says, "Delivered quietly," I hear my text being whispered to them. 🤫

All I want to do is read books but everyone else wants me to answer their emails.

Thank you for this wonderful service, @butterball. Stuffing should be stuffed inside the turkey, am I correct? If I cook stuffing inside the turkey, is there a chance I could kill my guests? I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker.

The list of things I don’t know is unending. But this one thing I do: entrust your life into the hands of Christ and he will be faithful to you. Though at times it will seem there’s no direction at all—no meaning, no feeling, no leadership nor light—put one foot in front of the other and walk by faith. “You are with me, Jesus. You will keep me. My hope is in you. I will trust your words.” Don’t put a timer on your trust. No “I’m giving you till January.” Just keep going. And Jesus will take you places by those ruptured roads, dry riverbeds and empty hollows you’ll live to say you wouldn’t have wanted to miss for the world. This wonder, this miracle, this mystery of belief in this Lord we’ve never seen and yet are summoned to know is that, if we’ll trust him the merest whit and walk by faith that his words are true, we’ll realize in retrospect it was him all along we followed in the hollow precisely where he wanted us to go. The holy hollow. Anywhere with Jesus is a place worth going.

Every April 1, I remember the year I told my young kids, “On April Fools’ Day, we can play tricks on each other! Let’s play a trick on Daddy!” And they all three started to cry. “We don’t want to trick Daaaddyyyy!” Great mom.

Guys, please: toe the line, as in your toes. On a starting line. Not tow the line, like a...tugboat? Home in on, as in a plane zeroing in on its home beacon. Not hone in, like a knife sharpener. Rein in, as in using reins to control a horse. Not reign in, like King Charles.

Not to brag, but I’ve been sharing my Thin Mints with @AndyStorms this year. First time in 25 years. Sanctification comes slowly.

Let the sweet gift of sleep be yours tonight. God is good at being God. He is protecting you, working things out, and making good plans for you. Whisper a prayer of trust and obedience and then let the rest go. He’s got you. He loves you. ❤️

In 2022, my book buying outpaced my book reading. So in 2023, I'm not going to impulse-buy any books and I'll just read what I have. In related news, my Amazon list is public.
