I remember it like yesterday. Forty-eight years ago, I knelt by my mother’s bed and held her hand while she led me to the Lord.
Four days ago, I again knelt by her bed and held her hand while she was slowly dying.
A few hours ago, she fell into the arms of her Savior.

- If, Heaven forbid, you should experience a disaster, your odds of getting the help you need in a timely fashion is directly proportional to the number of Evangelical Christians who live in proximity to you.
- I am tired. I am grieving. Apart from posting a link to the livestream from Mom’s service (2:00 PM tomorrow), I am going to step away from social media for a few weeks. Thank you.
- I’ve stopped posting pictures of her, because she’s so much not herself, but enough of that rubbish. This is my beautiful mother, and I spent the whole day with her today. Alzheimer’s hasn’t taken away her beauty, her faith, or the joy she gives me whenever I see her.
- People who think I have the power to sway tens of millions of votes ought to see me try to get one teenager out of the house on time.
- I just watched the #AhmaudArbery video. Wow. I don't want to live in a society in which private citizens can think you might match the description of a criminal, attempt to detain you on a public thoroughfare, shoot you when you resist, and claim self-defense.
- Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
- Replying to @bartbarberHere's what I think to myself when something like that happens: "I'm caught up in this mess because our Convention bestowed a great honor upon me. Someone else is caught up in it because someone abused her. Suck it up, Barber."
- I’ve got four days left to lose 24 pounds and read the Hebrew Old Testament through twice.
- Can I share with you nine principles for success with social media that will work for any Christian? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
- I’m enjoying Anaheim, but I miss my cows. Going home tomorrow. Ready to scratch the neck of Lottie Mooooooon.
