☀️ Another year of lake memories in Missouri with some of our favorite humans. 🚤
"Anyone can do marriage, we just can't do it the way most of us have been trying it." - Dr. Dave Swift (@dave.swift.98)
“I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.” - Frederick Douglass
I wanted 4 kids. But when my wife retired her uterus I knew I had to move to Plan B. I became the 4th kid. 😬😬
Have you heard the whole story of Donald Parker? He's my father but the story reads more like a fable. With little hesitation, he moved his Israelite nation of one reluctant wife, 5 nappyhead kids — another would be born later — and a woodgrain station wagon to Fort Worth, Texas to reimagine what a life lived for God looks like.
😘😘 Hey boo…. I got plans for you… 😬😬 (She’s gonna kill me for this)
Art has been a part of our family for years even though I can’t claim any visual talents. My brother is an award-winning painter. My father was a bad man with the brush in his younger years. Even my mom can bust out a sketch that’s graceful and clean. The next best thing, I figured, was to collect art from people who inspire us. Every piece is a story with a meaning, a purpose and a little bit of pain… just like our family.
Can’t believe this guy is 9. I’ll probably work for him some day, or need a sizable interest-free loan. Till then, love you little man! 😬
In 2020, for the first time in modern history, firearms became the leading cause of death for children in America. Gun culture has reached adolescence and we’re all paying the price. It’s not a gun crisis, it’s a moral catastrophe.
Says it all…
🦉we do is win. Field Day 2022… where future non-athletes decide to focus on their grades. 🏃🏾‍♂️🥚 💦 🎈
👋🏽 ☀️
