sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

The post is a heartfelt call to modern Christian parents, mentors, and coaches: stop trying to filter everything, build a foundation instead. With biblical truth and personal vulnerability, this reflection reminds readers that God doesn’t need perfect parents. He just asks for faithful ones. You don’t need to predict the future to raise disciples who can thrive in it.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

We’re not raising our kids for the world we grew up in. We’re preparing them for a world of AI, algorithmic influence, and moral confusion. In this deeply personal reflection, I share five anchors of biblical truth I teach my children to help them stand firm in a world we can’t predict. Discipleship, not control, is the answer, and hope is still alive on the sidelines.
The UPS driver always leaves packages behind the planter by my door.
Not on the doorstep where they'd be visible.
Behind the planter. Where only someone who lives here would think to look.

This. The Borg has fired its loyal leftist followers into a froth of nebulous rage. They are filled with loathing, and cannot ever turn it towards its true source -- the Borg itself -- so it lashes out in wicked ways against any other victim instead.
One place that I am starting to see a bizarre amount of leftist rage is these anti-AI posts from visual artists. (Perhaps they aren't all leftists, but ... A majority are, I do believe.) These same people who would doubtless decry anyone who accused illegal migrants of stealing the labor jobs of citizens as the worst kind of "RAYCISS" have no qualms whatsoever about issuing death threats to hobbyists using a new tech to make pictures, because said tech now impacts *their* livelihoods. I have seriously seen posts by artists saying that those who use AI to generate images should kill themselves. The rage level is unreal.
I'm also guessing that you aren't DMing death threats to AI users. Just saw a post on Reddit that a pro-AI commenter got such threats. Reddit evidently claims it doesn't violate their TOS, either. Kinda weird.
I'm guessing they were the same people telling factory workers to "learn to code" when the factories across America were closed down. I guess someone learned to code and now we have AI that does all of the art, oh, the irony.
