We ask what changes when we treat every day as borrowed time from God and hold our work, marriage, and civic life to that standard. Scripture, history, and a Medal of Honor story guide a practical reset toward faith, fidelity, gratitude, and courage.

• daily accountability before God as a filter for time use
• marriage as first priority after God, honoring Hebrews 13:4
• 2 Peter 3 on patience, repentance, and holy living
• Psalm 119 for light under pressure and joy in obedience
• warnings against twisting Scripture and chasing greed
• Private Robert L. Blackwell’s sacrifice as a measure for values
• 1782 Congressional thanksgiving proclamation and public faith
• assimilation into founding faith and principles as moral clarity
• prayer for leaders, families, service members, and nations
