Dads… you aren’t wrong… kids need to treat you with respect But let me tell you something as a dad who raised a strong-willed kid. Being there when they need goes farther than correcting them Hang in there and show up. Even if they have a bad attitude. It’s worth it

If faith depends on others agreeing, it is small faith. Not everyone can see what is unseen nor hear what is unspoken. Faith sees and hears and must persevere past scoffers. And faith which loves the scoffers and keeps an open invitation to them is deep faith indeed

That weight is not for you. Shake it off, drop it, release it If it’s sins, melt it with forgiveness Regrets, replace them with acceptance Fear, disappear it with hope You are not your past- you are the future and you are not made to be bent and broken Let it go: fly

The kid is bigger than me now. It’ll go fast. He asked me for time this week to get advice from me and I love that. Invest along the way. It’s worth it, I promise.

When you wake up and see someone added a new rating on your book on Amazon it’s like Christmas! It’s a big gift to an indie author to have ratings and reviews So, in case my 32nd rater is out there on X… THANK YOU!!!

I tell my kids be bad at things & I say Thompsons try Don't be worried about being the best, an expert, or looking good. Achievers, winners, & adventurers try things they are bad at in order to get good You go nowhere without a first step, even if it stubs your toe
