What would your day look like if you turned it into a pie chart—God, marriage, kids, work, phone, sports, hobbies—and had to explain the slices out loud? We start with that honest audit and move into practical shifts you can make today: five minutes of Scripture, a short prayer, and a tangible act that tells your spouse they matter in the way they feel it. This isn’t about guilt; it’s about taking back your time with a clear, doable next step.

From there, we sit with 1 Peter’s bracing clarity on marriage and witness. Wives are called to a quiet strength rooted in hope, husbands to understanding leadership and real honor toward their wives as co-heirs of grace. We widen the lens to a public faith: live as sojourners, resist desires that corrode the soul, respect authority without surrendering conscience, and let honorable conduct speak when words fail. Psalm 119 steadies that path with a promise—God’s Word revives, comforts, and anchors us in a living hope secured by the resurrection of Christ.

We also pause to remember First Lieutenant Arnold B. Bjorklund and the courage that opened a path for his men under relentless fire. His Medal of Honor story reframes our heroes and our gratitude. Finally, we confront a dangerous idea hollowing out justice: if words lose meaning and crime loses consequence, internal justice—the core duty of government—collapses. Our response is not outrage for its own sake but a return to truth, responsibility, and mercy rightly ordered.
