Something better than what anyone has ever known.

But getting there requires preparation.

Not just in what you store or plan, but in who you are.

One of these days I'm going to tell you some things about.

I always know when trouble is coming because I come under attack and my family is under attack now like it's never been.

I mean, it's been bad in other times, but and it's it's playing on me.

You have to get these things cleared up.

Your family matters.

Your faith matters.

Your daily choices matter more than any headline.

I told my wife yesterday we have to double our work on feeding the hungry.

We have to double our work on telling the truth, leaving your sins, loving your children fiercely like they're the only thing that matters.

Honor your vows.

Pray like heaven is real.

Read the ancient words again.

Stand down from hatred.

Step away from the lie that politics will save only what repentance can save.

And you know what?

I hope I'm wrong.

And, you know, if this is not the beginning of some grand chapter, those are still the right things to do.
