Is your classroom stuck in the 20th century? 💾 Time for a STEM Upgrade! (A thread)

Let's face it, the future workforce won't be needing many fax machine repair technicians. BUT, our kids will need top-notch problem-solving, coding, and robot-wrangling skills. 🤖

Just came back from a men’s retreat and man I’m rejuvenated but still somehow tired.

Always tired.

There’s a reason Jesus often retreated to the mountains. It’s where the distractions fall away, and we’re faced with raw truth. A steep climb does the same. Every step uphill is a choice. #outdoors #faith

You'd be surprised by how many things in your spice cabinet are not only good for your dinner, but good for your health as well.

Clove is fantastic for many things, and tastes amazing to boot.

I may be an author, but I still have a day job.

By night, I'm a writer.

By day, I'm an ed-tech expert helping schools across NY start or expand their STEM programs. It's not always easy but these students deserve every resource available to them with how many taxes we pay.

Tired of being a walking wildfire? Time to harness a different kind of strength.

Hold your tongue, and stay your fist.

The good Lord didn’t create us to be cubicle dwellers. He put us in a Garden.

Think about that.

The first calling for mankind was to work the land, to be caretakers over the wild places. Something primal is stirred in a man when he gets back to those roots.

Cubicle got you caged? Wild places set you free. Trade stress for sweat, find the man God made you to be.

A little bit of Zoa, and a little bit of RWBY to kick off the weekend.

Almost done with volume 7.

Why have I never watched this series before??

Inspiration doesn't have to come from books or movies.

🍂🌬️The crunch of leaves, the wind through the trees...even the challenges of a tough hike can provide a metaphor for pushing through tough writing stretches.

Where do you find your off-the-page inspiration?

War is not fair.

Work is not fair.

Life is not fair.

Use your enemies, whether it be people, spirits, or creativity block, against themselves, and win the war.

For those on here who didn’t know yet, I published my second book a few months ago and it has been helpful to many so far!

I’m glad to hear so many people found this simple devotional helpful in their daily lives!

We've all been there.
The cursor blinks.
Instead of fighting writer's block, sometimes the best tactic is a strategic retreat. For me, a walk in nature works wonders. A change of scenery can offer that spark to ignite a stalled story. What's your go-to method for pushing past that creative hurdle?

Booted up the typewriter this morning and started up a new project that I think could be a great addition to the young adult fiction category.

Still messing around with plot and characters, but future readers are in for a journey with this one.

If you’re scrolling on here for #writing advice today, let me be the first to offer assistance.

Just do it.

Write the thing. Stop procrastinating. Get the first word down on paper even if it’s just “the”.

I wanted my first post to introduce me as well as my wife! Together we have accomplished some amazing things and I wouldn’t be the man I am without her, nor would I have published my books. #author #writing #books
