Ok here you go!!! Apparently we need to have a little roadside safety lesson today!!!

When you see BLUE LIGHTS, RED LIGHTS, YELLOW LIGHTS, OR ORANGE LIGHTS flashing on the side of the road, that means MOVE OVER AND SLOW DOWN!!!

That DOES NOT mean, hey, let’s see how close we can get to this guy standing beside the road!!!

MOVE OVER TO THE OTHER LANE!!! SLOW DOWN!!! If you can’t safely move over, slow WAY down and give us some room!!!

It’s not just for MY safety, it’s for YOUR safety too!!! Police officers, firefighters, EMS, tow truck drivers, highway workers!!! We all have families we want to go home to!!!

I have never seen so many people completely ignore flashing lights!!! Some of y’all act like moving over is gonna cost you an extra three hours on your trip!!!

I promise you, whatever you’re in a hurry to get to isn’t worth somebody’s life!!!

Pay attention, get off your phones, and MOVE OVER!!!

Those flashing lights aren’t Christmas decorations!!! They’re there for a reason!!! 🚔🚒🚑

Well, I’m a little late posting, but Callan had his last flag football game of the year!!! Next year he moves up to the big boys with FULL PADS!!!

Man, it sure was fun watching how much he has grown from last year!!! But you know what was even funnier??? Watching his older brother get all worked up on the sidelines just like I used to when I coached him and his older brother!!! 😂😂 It was like looking in a mirror from several years ago!!! I just sat back and laughed because I remember those days all too well!!!

But one thing I’ve learned over the years coaching kids is that success ain’t always measured by wins and losses!!! Sometimes it’s watching a kid who was scared to death to even step on the field finally get out there and make a play!!! Sometimes it’s watching a kid gain confidence, overcome fear, or just figure out that he CAN do something he thought he couldn’t!!!

Those are the little victories that matter!!!

And as a daddy who spent years coaching his older boys, it’s pretty special getting to sit back and watch the youngest one grow up playing the same game!!!

The older I get, the more I realize it was never really about the scoreboard!!! It was about the kids!!! 🏈❤️

Nothing like a good range day!!! But even better when you get one of the OLD HEADS out there shooting with you!!!

Scot was the Chief back when I was just a young buck coming up in law enforcement!!! He came out to qualify for his retired carry card!!!

And I do believe that old rascal OUTSHOT some of the young guys!!! 😂😂

Now mind you, this man showed up with CIGARETTE BUTTS stuck in his ears for hearing protection!!! 😂😂 And I’d be willing to bet he had a pack rolled up in his shirt sleeve somewhere!!!

Some of these young guys might need to take a few lessons from the old heads!!! They may have a little age on them, but they can still get the job done!!!

Always good spending time with the guys who paved the way for us!!! 💙🇺🇸

Well, I always try to give y’all the good, but guess what??? You’re gonna get the bad too!!!!

Yesterday started off great!!! Got up, drank my coffee, went to Sunday school, and church!!! Everything was going good!!!

Then for whatever reason, my mood changed!!! I was a punk!!! Cranky, ill, a horse’s butt, or whatever four-letter word you want to use!!! I was just in a plain ole pissy mood!!! And the worst part??? I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!!!

Nobody did anything to me!!! I just decided to be hard to get along with!!! And unfortunately, the people closest to us are usually the ones who catch the worst of it!!!

So yesterday, I FAILED TO MEET STANDARD!!!

And just because I went to church yesterday morning doesn’t mean I acted like I had been to church yesterday afternoon!!!

So this morning I had to get up, swallow a little pride, apologize, and make a decision to be a better version of myself today!!!

See, I tell y’all all the time about being present, being a better husband, father, Christian, and person!!! But guess what??? I fall short too!!! Probably more than I care to admit!!!

Life ain’t always hunky-dory!!! You’re gonna have good days, bad days, and days when you don’t even know why you’re in a bad mood!!! Life is gonna throw you curveballs, and sometimes you’re gonna strike out swinging!!!

But here’s the lesson!!! Just because you had a bad day doesn’t mean you have to make it two!!!

Own your mistakes!!! Apologize when you’re wrong!!! And quit letting your pride keep you from making things right!!!

God’s mercies are new every morning, and I’m mighty thankful for that because I sure needed a fresh start today!!!

Remember, being a Christian doesn’t mean you’re perfect!!! It means you recognize when you’ve fallen short and try to do better!!!

Today is a new day!!! Let’s do better!!!

I’m gonna make it easy on you this morning!!!

I want to encourage you to get up and attend a church of your choosing!!!

You don’t have to have fancy clothes!!! You don’t have to have your life figured out!!! Just show up!!! Come as you are and let God do the fixing!!!

Now, if going to church just ain’t gonna happen for you today, I want to ask you to do something else. Give God 15-30 minutes of your time. Not leftover time, but INTENTIONAL TIME!!!

Pray, talk to Him, or just sit in silence. Thank Him for everything He has done for you. Thank Him for the answered prayers, but you might ought to thank Him even more for some of those unanswered prayers!!! Because looking back, some of the things we prayed so hard for might have turned out a whole lot worse than we ever imagined!!!

I receive so many messages from people asking me to pray for them or a family member. Some of the things folks are going through would absolutely break your heart!!!

I had a buddy call me one time and say, “Bradley, I know you got a direct line with God!!! Seems like every time I pray, mine get shot down. I need you to pray for my daughter.”

Well, let me tell you something!!! My prayers don’t carry any more weight than yours!!! I ain’t got some special phone number to Heaven!!! The same God that hears me hears you!!! You just gotta start talking to Him!!!

So today, let today be the day you start building an INTENTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!!!

Maybe that means walking through the doors of a church for the very first time!!! Maybe it’s the first time in 20 years!!! Maybe it’s sitting on your back porch, in a deer stand, or at your kitchen table with a cup of coffee!!!

It ain’t about where you are. It’s about getting in His presence and giving Him your time!!!

We make time for ballgames, hunting, fishing, work, and everything else life throws at us!!! Surely we can find a little time for the One who gave us life in the first place!!!

Don’t wait until you get your life straightened out to come to God!!! Come to God and let Him straighten out your life!!!

Let today be the day!!!

And remember, if this message reaches just 1 out of the 99, then it was worth every minute!!!

Happy Sunday, everyone!!! God bless!!!
