Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our country, where politicians, unscrupulous media, and puppeteers intentionally played us all. Yes, all 'sides'. All of us. Yet, as Jesus taught, a house divided cannot stand. We've all seen this in our daily lives and work. Division, anger, frustration, gossip, factions, and intentional tearing apart wreak havoc on everything that was once beautiful. It breaks marriages and destroys companies. Who is to blame? I am. I've been caught up in divisive discussions and unhealthy rhetoric. But I've realized this behavior only fuels division, even if it's just within my heart. It doesn't mean I don't have firmly held beliefs. Yet my love for people must always come first. I can hold something true and still treat others with respect, even when we disagree. I do fine in person, but I can excuse other behaviors that aren't helpful — getting sucked into sides, divisive posts, and frustration that consumes me. I've scrolled endlessly until the wee hours of the morning searching for something to make sense; only to end up more tired, more frustrated, and less happy. So, what's the answer? It's right in front of me and you. Love. We may disagree, and that's okay. When we disagree in love, we have a healthy debate that doesn't place the issue before the person. News flash... we're all wrong at times. I know, I know. You're less wrong. I feel that too. But that's the problem. We all feel that way, and when we allow the division to divide us, we all lose. How do we lead with love? 3 WAYS
Just remember:
In a world of division, love remains our strongest bond and our greatest healer. 🥰

Howdy, Zack here. Are you navigating a challenging valley in life right now? Are things not going as planned? Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? These moments can be tough, to say the least. I know. I've been there. We all have. But they also offer profound lessons and opportunities for incredible growth. Whether you follow a particular faith or not, the wisdom found in Biblical teachings and Stoic philosophy can offer valuable guidance through these difficult times. They emphasize...
Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...
Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' — the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
