Sunday Reflection: Let’s Be Found on the Right Side of the Story
There are days when the easiest thing in the world is to look the other way. To say, “That’s not mine to carry,” and get back to the comfort of our own corner of life. And I get it.

STAND IN THE GAP. I grew up knowing right was right and wrong was wrong. Every summer, I traveled to Mexico to work alongside good humans building homes & churches. I spent my time in disaster relief, helping those who couldn’t help themselves. It wasn’t about charity—it was about humanity.

Our Voice, Our Choice: Protecting Our National Parks & Public Lands!
Our national parks and public lands are treasures that need our support. We can all make a difference through our voice and choice—because these places don’t protect themselves.

I am heartbroken. I am angry. And I will not be silent.
Yesterday, countless Forest Service employees were let go.
Today, it’s the National Park Service. The very people who protect our public lands, who dedicate their lives to preserving the places we cherish, are being cast aside.

A10 #ParkChat: I’d take them to Yellowstone and start with the geysers! Watching Old Faithful erupt would be the perfect way to show them how wild and unpredictable Earth’s landscapes can be. But, I’d rather take educators than aliens—sharing these moments with passionate teachers.
