The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

We are called to share our experience of faith with others, bearing witness to the love of Christ and becoming missionary disciples. Let us not limit ourselves to theoretical knowledge alone, but live our faith in a concrete way, experiencing God's love in our daily lives.

The flash flooding in Central Texas is absolutely heartbreaking. Michelle and I are praying for everyone who has lost a loved one or is waiting for news — especially the parents. And we’re grateful to the first responders and rescue teams working around the clock to help.

"It’s ok to be wrong. To own the mistake. To say, 'Yeah, I messed up.' It doesn’t make you weak—it makes you honest. And always needing to be 'right' keeps you stuck. Being wrong is how you learn. How you grow. So just be wrong. Take responsibility. Own it." @coolurbanhippie

I am devastated. This teacher was a good friend of mine. She was my neighbor, our daughters were in school together, and she was in my class I taught for the teacher credential program.
