Faith, fatherhood, and doing the right things (even when nobody is watching) in life. Rebuilding strength, raising good men, and standing for truth.

A lot of men ask what it means to live a life of integrity in a world that constantly pressures you to compromise. To me, it comes down to one core standard: unfailingly doing the right thing: the big things, the small things, and especially the things when nobody is watching. Over the last several years, life has tested that standard in ways I never expected. I’m a 57-year-old professional writer, Army combat medic veteran, a devout Christian, and a single father raising two young boys (14 and 12). My oldest son, Cash, is non-verbal Autistic, and being his primary caregiver has been one of the greatest honors and humbling teachers of my life. I’ve walked through the fire of losing a 24-year marriage and leaving behind the life (and my beloved farm) that we built. But through faith, heavy lifting, and daily discipline, I came out the other side not broken, but stronger, sharper, and more grounded as a father. I want to start using this account to share real, hard-earned lessons for men—young and old—on: • Raising sons to be men of honor and duty • Standing firm in your faith when the storm hits • Rebuilding physical and spiritual strength after loss • Leading your family courageously, even when the culture demands compliance We don't complain. We don't make excuses. We stand up. We build. If you're a man striving to hold the line for your family and live with quiet strength, you’re in the right place. Glad to have you here.

Narrator: She did in fact marry her brother. And she knew.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) when asked by MS Now tonight if she married her brother: "Not to my knowledge."

Halfway through my week with my boys under my roof. And today was a super busy day taking care of them, grinding at the job, and trying to be the best dad I can be. It's exhausting. But I'm grateful that I get 50/50 custody of my boys, and it hurts my heart for all those dads out there who get less but want and need more.

You’re not failing because you’re tired. You’re winning because you keep showing up anyway. Your kids don’t need a perfect dad—they need you. And you’re already enough. Hold the line, brothers.

Single dads: The grind is real, but so is the legacy you’re building. Every early morning, every hard choice, every quiet moment of love is stacking up into something your kids will carry forever. Keep going. I'm proud of you.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13 Dads...especially single dads...that includes the days that feel impossible. You’ve got more strength in you than the grind has power to take. Keep walking. 🙏✝️

Amazing. And I'll bet you dimes to nickels that the Left will find a way to criticize this act of incredible generosity. Or claim that Elon has some nefarious motivation or ulterior motive.
Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true.

Pain, heavy responsibilities, and tough seasons are real. But Revelation 21:4 reminds us where the story ends: no more tears, sorrow, or brokenness. Biblical hope isn't wishful thinking; it’s a confident posture. Men, as leaders of our homes, we don't let current hardships dictate the atmosphere under our roof. Keep your eyes fixed on the ultimate promise, kill the bitterness, and bring that future joy, calm, and strength into your home right now. Stand firm, brothers. ✝️

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain..." — Revelation 21:4 Men, our ultimate hope isn't grounded in current circumstances. Don’t wait for heaven to reflect His peace- start anchoring your household in the kingdom of joy today. ✝️🛡️

A chaotic world requires men who stay watchful, grounded, and unwavering in their principles. Protect your home, lead your community with integrity, and stand firm in faith when turbulence rises across the globe. ✝️🛡️

That feeling when you get to the gym at 4:30 in the morning to find that it is closed without any power notification...ugh.

3% battery left, but I think we're going to make it. What's the lowest you've ever let your battery percentage get to before recharging? #Tesla

I don't think I've ever run my battery down to 5% before. Makes me a little nervous but in #Tesla I trust.

I genuinely cannot imagine sitting inside watching other men play sports on a beautiful day like today when you could be outside being active yourself and competing. #PlaySports

I also found this sign out on the disc golf course today... But I'm an outlaw so totally disregarded it

Found out on the disc golf course while playing today. I left it there for the next person who needed to hear this message

Decided to car camp in my Tesla last night for the first time since my tournament is kind of remote and not near any hotels and I would only be here for one night. Camp mode is awesome! Slept like a baby at 70° even though it was 40 outside.
