You know… there are few things that invoke awe in me. I post tons of pictures hoping that it can communicate our life here or stir emotion in someone the way it may for me in real life. Usually, I know that its impossible unless someone is right here experiencing it with me in real time. However, after downloading the pictures this week of the sunrises here, I must say they took my breath away in the same way as the day I captured them. I love that the sky changes daily here, if not hourly. I love that the world seems different, new, and full of art on a consistant basis. I didn’t expect that of the mountains. I didn’t expect to be so close to the clouds that I could live in them.
Take note heart. It is your God that directs the clouds, moves the air, breathes into the wind. It is your King who lights the sky, who fills it with glory and calls you to take notice. It is your Counselor who gives you comfort, who inspires awe, and rests your soul.
Take note weary soul. It is your Creator who commands the sun, who shakes the mountain, and demands praise from the rocks. Take note, for He calls you to notice. He calls you to rise, lift your voice, to lift your eyes, your chin, and your chest to exhale your praise to Him. . . for no other reason than because He is the I AM and has spoken the day into being.
Take note. Remember. Capture His presence. All of this is ours for use in getting who He is, how He moves around us, in us, for us.
I see it.
Remarkable.

Brief 02: The Rhetoric of Lethality
The vocabulary of and toward the military has narrowed to a single attribute — and the person who carries it has been edited out.
Maximum lethality. Hunt, and kill. Without mercy. None of it is wrong — they are warfighters. But this brief traces where that register has worked, where it has failed, and what it asks of the people who must live inside it.

Brief 01: Follow the Money: The Warrior Ethos, Redefined
The FY2027 $350 billion mandatory defense request, and what the Warrior Ethos banner funds now.
The language calls it the Warrior Ethos. The scope has changed. This brief walks through three connected shifts in 2026 — in words, money, and how the institution treats the people who sustain the force — and what they mean for military families.
