I’m a father, a husband, and a pastor. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m doing my best to succeed at all three. #gopack

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

Jon Stewart says it better than I can. It’s pick-a-side time, and it’s pretty obvious which side is for the American people.

DCPS BOOK REMOVAL 🧵: Tl;Dr the removal of all books vs. parents signing permission slips is difference of $6.44 million vs $20k and it will take 2.5 years to complete the 1.6m books with current staffing at 10 minutes per book and would need 254 more SME to meet the deadline.

Page by page she learns not only that each name is in memory of an ancestor, but that she also shares in their unique traits, passions, and gifts. That's it. That's the story. And yet, it's banned. #MakeItMakeSense

First up, "Alma." It's a sweet story about a girl who thinks her very long name (Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela) is too long. She asks her dad why it is so long.

Every night we read books with Bennet. As of last night (thanks to @RevSarahLocke), we're reading books that are banned in #Duval

Now we’ll have to raise our kids to be the ones teaching the rest of the history lesson from the bathroom between classes.

Two weeks ago I cast my vote. I didn’t do it for me, because as a white male I’ll be fine regardless. I used the power of my vote to protect my wife and my kids. I voted on behalf of my children’s future. Today, in Florida, I lament for my kids.

1:00 - I’ve had enough. I’m moving to the guest room. 1:05 - She stops crying as soon as I’m gone. So, it’s me. I’m the reason she cries.

She’s been crying for about 90 min and apparently it doesn’t bother wife, son, or either dog. Just me…. (Yes, I keep checking on her)

The baby and I share a wall. She’s literally 30” from me through two layers of sheet rock. This means her screams always interrupt my dreams.

When I vote I like to picture someone I know that is willfully ignorant and sadly lost in an echo chamber of conspiracy and lies. Then, I take great joy knowing my vote just cancelled theirs.
