@KingJames
did in BUILDING A SCHOOL, is simply amazing. All this “LeBron legacy” stuff in regards to basketball?Pales in comparison..THAT is how you establish something that matters.. reminder: use your platform. Do not let it use YOU! Hats off to you, Bron!
To all the authors out there, I would say this: WRITE! Books touch people in ways podcasts, sermons, shows can’t. We need more writers! And readers for that matter.. not sure who this tweet storm is for but somebody needs to hear it! WRITE! And let the chips fall where they may..
There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!
The NFL doesn’t want players kneeling during the anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality in the justice system because MOST of its huge white fan base, absolutely hates it. That’s all this is. They are doing what business tend to do. Cater to the money.
I think the “art of de-escalation” is far too rare in our culture. You never “lose ground” when you graciously step back. Ever. Even if it makes you “look weak”. Ends up making whatever you have to say much stronger.. sometimes when a boxer changes his stance it swings a fight..
Just for the record, easy money as a nickname for KD, was originated BY ME. I’m sick of not getting credit for it, I’m going public ...first I write Oceans, nobody knew. Now this.
I will never understand a culture that loves to retweet, propagate, spread half truth rumors FREELY, yet rarely celebrate or endorse clear wins and victories with the same passion...
For those that push LOVE, who lift up others, who use wisdom before they speak and champion OTHERS? Good for you. Thank you. And may God raise up more people like you! We need more LIGHT in our world. Not more shade.. I have hope this can happen.. happy Saturday!!!

...I know it’s not easy and I’m sure you would rather not have to force yourself and others to keep seeing these images, day in and day out. But because you do this, things are getting better. People are becoming more aware. Don’t forget that! Praying for you.
Well Dean, that’s not uncommon for those that only like to hear exactly what they think, repeatedly. You can always unfollow me! Kinda like a hiatus, if that helps.
If you find yourself THIRSTY for news of somebody else’s pain, mistake or struggle, you need to check yourself. Use that same energy seeking out ways to help and encourage people. I promise you, it’s better for your soul!
WORTH THE READ, respectfully: As dark as it can seem, our hope that God can use us to bring change is brighter than ever! In that light, special memo to my brother

... I’m…
17 years of marriage, today! I remember being told “the only competition you should have in your marriage, is who can serve each other better.” When our marriage is strong, that theme is protected and valued. When…
The NFL has 2b. in the running for the most tone-def, “unaware” organization in business. These guys are STILL talking about players “protesting the anthem.” Still! Even though THEY ARE PROTESTING RACIAL INEQUALITY/WANT JUSTICE REFORM. At least get that right, while being wrong.
I just started reading a really good, funny, powerful, spiritual and moving book by pastor
@carllentzNYC
. Don’t we all need to learn how to OWN THE MOMENT. Y’all get it and let’s all read it together this summer. I’m loving it! It’s so helpful to the dreamer in us all.
Brad Stevens didn’t get single vote for coach of the year! Hilarious. Further evidence that success is threatening to people before its revered by people. Stevens is a class act, brilliant coach.
So much pain and passion in this reasonable request..//

: "I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma. I almost died. Some of my friends and colleagues were murdered. I'm not asking any of you to give any blood.”
Unblow your mind, Trey. And that goes for anybody else demanding social media statements from people. My 1st reaction to things isn’t to jump on my social media. This matters deeply to me, I will talk about it, real life has been my priority. Thanks for your understanding.
It should blow my mind that
@carllentzNYC
will speak out against the students at the march but won’t acknowledge the atrocity of his state legislature devaluing life.
#PoliticalGospel
I have some friends who think differently on this. That’s ok. But I think even in disagreement, we can all learn from listening more. Disagreement does not have to always lead to disparagement and disrespect. Discussion is not our enemy. Have a great day, my friends..
Fun, special day
@hillsongnyc
tomorrow! I just landed to preach at our First Sunday of HILLSONG BOSTON at the Royale Boston, love it already! And then back for our 5/730 in Manhattan.. from JERSEY to BOSTON to MANHATTAN and soon CONNECTICUT

To the many
@hillsongnyc
family that lost precious people on 9/11, I pray that Gods peace would comfort your soul tonight. To the many I don’t know, in R city/beyond who carry a heavy heart on this day: gone but not forgotten..we remember your loved ones and will never forget.
When you truly pray for people, as we do, as I do for our president, it’s completely appropriate to address this level of insensitivity. Additionally, our president reads twitter roughly 97 million times more than letters from the public.
@carllentzNYC
As a Pastor i think you should send a letter to the President and voice your concerns, I’am sure he will lisent to you. Maybe you can help him, instead of criticizing him we should pray for him
Hey
@shaunking
.. I love you, I appreciate you and I’m proud to be your friend. People have every right to disagree w/ anybody’s points of few. But these attempts to disparage who you are, are wrong. They have failed, and they will always fail.
