Luke Guard #SHAME Video: Hashtag Youth Series
Luke Guard #SHAME Video: Hashtag Youth Series
My brother, Luke Guard, delivers a message from the scriptures about shame.
Luke Guard talks about using our shame for God’s glory. Instead of building up ourselves and pretending to be perfect, Scripture encourages us to be honest with our sin, flaws, and need for grace. People don’t usually like to share their sin and shame with others. Luke reminds us that our open confession of sin magnifies the mercy received and patience displayed in the gift of Jesus Christ.

The 23rd Digest: A Bicolonation of David
I need Him, I am content
I drink up, I sleep deep
I am mended, I am upright
I see shadows, I fear not
I grip firm, I walk easy
I have food, I have foes
I am soaked, I am sated
I know mercy, I came home
When to Use “Naked” and When To Use “Nekked”
Spelling question:
When do you use “naked” and when do you use “nekked”?
It’s simple, really.
Naked is when you have no clothes on.
Nekked is when you have no clothes on, and you’re up to something.

Badly Broken: Walter White and the Corrosive Effects of Sin
by Chris McCirney and Daniel Lee
A great article about a televised story of how sin starts small and eats away at us. Also, spoilers alert.
“With each calcified deposit, what starts off as an instinct to provide for his family mutates into a monstrous obsession to preserve the empire that Walt has established with his own two hands. Walt has been so engulfed by the darkness that he is no longer fully human. And that’s because sin is a force that refuses to let up; like gravity, it relentlessly pulls us inward into itself. As Walt himself says, ‘If you believe that there’s a hell . . . we’re already pretty much going there. But I’m not gonna lie down until I get there” (from episode 5.07, “Say My Name”).'”

Today is another special day for my blog
I just found out that today is a special day for my blog. Not only have I finally gotten a hundred followers, but today is the 2-year anniversary of when I began blogging originally about my discovery that I was going to be a father. I’ve also reached my 200th post. And that is what we call a triple milestone.
Thank you all viewers! God bless!
Walking the Breath: A Sophomore Greek Tale
[In 10th grade my English teacher, Mrs. Carter, asked us to write a Greek-style story after reading The Odyssey. I held on to mine. The “vicious man-eater Humphries” was named after my 8th grade principal. If my memory serves me correctly, my companions were named after two friends in my youth group. In real life they would have surely made it. It was a pagan tale roughly told in the Greek tradition, assuredly, but I snuck a little Christology in.]

In this timely article, Amanda Ripley examines what may be one of the leading causes of American High School students simply not graduating with very much knowledge or many skills at all: the treatment of schools as sports clubs that also do classes and stuff.
