We start with Three Things: the Lindsay Clancy murder trial jury is now on its sixth day of deliberations after telling the judge twice they're deadlocked — the defense is even seeking the removal of one juror, and mistrial chances are growing — plus France just recorded its hottest summer since measurements began. We break down your Labor Day travel, including UDOT tips on when to hit the road and when to stay put, and the TSA expects over 17 million passengers through checkpoints this weekend. Salt Lake City International Airport just launched "Gateside by TSA PreCheck," a new program that lets approved non-travelers go past security to meet people at the gate — and it could completely change how LDS missionary homecomings work. Plans are being discussed in Salt Lake City to build a concert venue in the Fairpark neighborhood right next door to the proposed MLB stadium, and the Miller family reportedly wants the ballpark to be a "national park". In News for the 1%, we dig into where there's a "mansion shortage." We talk travel tips, including the number-one mistake American tourists make abroad according to a former FBI agent, what actually happens if you don't put your phone in airplane mode, and U.S. destinations that feel international without needing a passport. And we wrap up with the AI Question of the Day.

If you feel called to start building a homeschool community, but you're afraid of making mistakes, you are not alone. Anytime you're bringing multiple families together, mistakes are going to happen. The actual mistake is believing you can somehow avoid them all. We certainly didn't. So stick around, because today we're sharing the 5 biggest mistakes we made when starting our homeschool co-ops and what we wish we had known then, so you can avoid making those same mistakes in your community.

This is a reflection of this morning's podcast - I Am Allowed to Outgrow People, Places and Plans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul says in verse 6: “But now that Timothy has cometo us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love…” Thatlittle phrase “good news” is interesting. It comes from the same basicGreek word from which we get the idea of gospel or glad tidings. Timothycame back with good news! And what was the good news? It wasn't that thepersecution had stopped. It wasn't that all their problems had disappeared. Itwasn't that their circumstances had suddenly become easy. The good news wasthat their faith was still strong and their love was still evident. I thinkthere is a wonderful lesson here. Sometimes we measure God's blessing bywhether our circumstances have improved. We pray for God to remove the problem,change the situation, heal the hurt, or open the door. And certainly, it isappropriate to pray for those things. But sometimes God's greatest work is notchanging our circumstances—it is changing and strengthening us in the midst ofour circumstances. The Thessalonians were still experiencing trouble, but theywere still believing. They were still trusting. They were still loving. Theywere still standing! Noticeagain those two words: “faith and love.” We have seen them before. Backin chapter 1, verse 3, Paul remembered their “work of faith, and labor of love,and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” Now, after everything they haveendured, Paul hears that their faith and love are still there. That is evidenceof genuine spiritual growth. Trials had not destroyed their faith. Instead,their faith had endured the trials. Timothy also reported that they had “goodremembrance” of Paul and greatly desired to see him, just as Paul desired tosee them. Remember, Paul's enemies had probably tried to discredit him after heleft Thessalonica. They could have said, “Paul doesn't really care about you.If he cared, he would have come back.” But the Thessalonians knew better. Theyremembered Paul's love for them, and they wanted to see him again. ThenPaul says in verse 7: “Therefore, brethren, in all our affliction anddistress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.” Think about that.Paul himself was going through affliction and distress. Yet what encouragedPaul? Their faith! Here is the great apostle Paul, the missionary, preacher,church planter, and spiritual leader—and he says that the faithfulness of theseyoung believers encouraged him. That reminds us that encouragement works bothways. Pastors encourage their people, but faithful people also encourage theirpastors. Parents encourage their children, but godly children encourage theirparents. Teachers encourage their students, but students who take God's Wordseriously encourage their teachers. You may not realize how much yourfaithfulness encourages someone else. When you continue serving God throughdifficulty, somebody is watching. When you keep trusting God afterdisappointment, somebody notices. When you remain faithful when it would beeasier to quit, your life becomes an encouragement to others. ThenPaul makes an amazing statement in verse 8: “For now we live, if you standfast in the Lord.” I love that phrase: “Stand fast in the Lord.” Paulwas saying, “When I hear that you are standing firm in your faith, it puts newlife into me!” This wasn't merely Paul's profession. These people were hisheart. Their spiritual welfare mattered deeply to him. And notice that Pauldoesn't simply say, “Stand fast.” He says: “Stand fast IN THE LORD.” Thatmakes all the difference. We don't stand in our own strength. We don't standbecause we have all the answers. We don't stand because life is easy. We standin the Lord. Our strength is in Him. Our hope is in Him. Our confidence is inHim. Our security is in Him. The storms of life may blow. Circumstances maychange. Friends may disappoint us. Our health may fail. Plans may fall apart.The world around us may become increasingly uncertain. But the Lord neverchanges. That is why we can stand fast.

Jon and Adam discuss two different ways golfers can improve how they respond when things go wrong. Jon shares a difficult tournament experience at the Met Amateur and explains why he tries to view every round as part of a much longer process—using bad days to practice staying engaged, committing to good decisions, and building habits that will carry into future rounds. Adam then explores how faulty concepts about impact, ball flight, alignment, and swing mechanics can send golfers down the wrong path, even when those beliefs feel logical. They also discuss why better players can sometimes perform well despite incorrect ideas, and why understanding what actually caused a bad shot gives golfers a much better chance of making the right adjustment.

It starts as warmth. That's the part she needs you to understand, because if you're waiting for it to sound like a monster you'll miss it, the way she nearly did.Marion nursed her mother for six years in a house at the end of a road that goes nowhere. Six years of being talked at by a woman who never once heard her. Then her mother died, and even that was gone, and the silence came down so completely that she started saying things out loud just to hear a voice in the house.The knocking began in the small hours. She explained every sound away, sensibly, correctly — right up until the sounds started answering her. And then, because she was so tired of being the only voice in that house, she started talking back. She told it about her day. She told it about her mother. She told it the things from the middle of her.It listened. It never once interrupted. It let her finish.Part 1 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: St. Mary's, Canada begins removing about 330,000 gallons of fermented fish sauce left in an abandoned Atlantic Seafood Sauce Company factory, with crews draining tanks, mixing the liquid with peat moss, and burying it in a prepared pit. In upstate New York, the Salamanca City Central School District postpones introducing “Sally,” a $60,000 robot teacher's assistant, after questions from parents, teachers, and officials about data collection and concerns about robots replacing educators; union leader Melinda of NYSUT says students need relationships with caring adults, and Sally's maker Realbotics is linked to RealDoll.

Howse, Voice & OG Tony discuss AEW Dynamite's final stop before ALL IN: LONDON!

There are seasons in life that feel like everything is breaking.The relationship changes.The career no longer fits.Friendships begin shifting.The dreams you once carried start evolving into something unfamiliar.Plans unravel.Doors close.The future becomes uncertain.And suddenly the life that once felt stable no longer makes sense.Most people know this feeling.It arrives quietly for some.Abruptly for others.Sometimes it comes through loss.Sometimes through change.Sometimes through an opportunity that unexpectedly changes the direction of your life.And sometimes it arrives for no obvious reason at all.

Last year, Daniel Kokotajlo and his colleagues published AI 2027 — a scenario read by millions, including US Vice President Vance. AI 2027 ended in human extinction or an irreversible concentration of power caused by superintelligent AI. Now his team has published what they think should happen instead.AI 2040: Plan A depicts the US and China striking a verified deal to ban runaway intelligence explosions, so that superintelligence arrives in 2040 — after a cautious decade spent solving alignment, spreading the technology's power widely, and keeping the whole thing reversible — rather than in the next few years.This slowdown would still involve economic growth roughly doubling every year, and only 8% of Americans in paid work by the mid-2030s. In other words, it's a slowdown that would feel faster than any period in human history — bewildering, materially abundant, and socially chaotic all at once.Daniel and host Luisa Rodriguez dig into what it would take to enact this vision for the future, how the US and China could come to an agreement to slow down AI development, and the likeliest alternatives to Plan A — both good and disastrous.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/dk26This episode was recorded July 27–28, 2026.Chapters:Who's Daniel Kokotajlo?

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026. #1 – From SHALE CRESCENT USA – A world-class manufacturing advantage What happens when abundant energy, major markets and manufacturing infrastructure all come together in one place? That's the case being made by Shale Crescent USA for West Virginia and the surrounding region. Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania together rank as the world's third-largest natural gas-producing region. The Shale Crescent also sits within a day's drive of 170 million Americans, putting manufacturers close to both energy supplies and customers. That combination can mean shorter supply chains, lower transportation costs and reduced time moving raw materials in and finished products out. For West Virginia, it's another opportunity to turn abundant resources and a strategic location into manufacturing investment and jobs. Read more: https://shalecrescentusa.com/a-world-class-manufacturing-advantage/?utm_source=chatgpt.com #2 – From MARSHALL UNIVERSITY – Marshall's IDEA District keeps building momentum Marshall University is moving forward with its vision for a new center of innovation in Huntington. The university recently unveiled the next phase of its $300 million IDEA District, short for Impossible Doesn't Exist Anymore, with new partnerships, facilities and private-sector investment taking shape. The former Latta's building will become the IDEA Collaborative, bringing the Huntington Area Development Council, Marshall's iCenter and other partners together in one location. Plans also call for a new Med-Tech Building, while construction continues on the Institute for Cyber Security. IBM, Intuit, Alpha Innovations and DroneTrace have committed to maintaining a presence there, creating opportunities for hands-on learning, applied research and workforce development. Marshall is also working with South Korean company UNDBIO on early plans for an insulin manufacturing facility that could create 1,700 jobs. The bigger goal is to bring education, research, entrepreneurship and private industry together in one district where ideas can become companies, careers and economic growth.

The boutique, named for her children Zeke and Sylvia, welcomes brides regardless of size, budget or aesthetic. Morris deliberately avoids many of the restrictions common in bridal shopping, giving customers time and individual attention to find the dress that makes them feel their best. Before opening, Morris connected with the West Virginia Small Business Development Center, where Business Coach Julia Moran helped her work through projections, budgeting, vendor relationships and marketing. The approach is working. Customers are now traveling from across West Virginia and neighboring states, with some driving three hours or more based on recommendations and social media.

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on 25th August 2026. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter/producer: Kris Boswell

A water management plan protects people only when the facility uses it to guide decisions. Dr. Abe Cullom, Director of Water Safety & Management at Pace Analytical, joins Trace Blackmore, CWT, to examine why Legionella programs break down—and how testing, communication, and consistent implementation can strengthen them.  Implementation Is the Bottleneck  Five decades after Legionella was identified, researchers understand much more about the organism, its ecology, the conditions that support its growth, and the interventions available to control it. However, Dr. Cullom identifies implementation—not a lack of science—as the primary bottleneck.  Many plans remain in filing cabinets or operate on autopilot. Teams collect measurements and samples, yet no one connects the results into a complete picture of the building water system. Process failures, limited follow-up, budget constraints, and unclear communication can allow a developing problem to remain hidden behind repeated low-level corrective actions.  Testing Must Inform Risk  Culture remains a dominant testing method, although the typical wait for results can complicate decisions during an investigation or operational change. qPCR provides faster results but may detect genetic material from both living and dead cells. Dr. Cullom also explains viable but non-culturable cells and why recent heat treatment, supplemental disinfection, oxidative stress, or prolonged stagnation can affect culture results.  The goal is not automatically to drive every Legionella result to zero. Instead, teams should interpret findings using the species detected, distal site positivity, the facility's population, and the limitations of the testing method. Dr. Cullom explains why testing only for Legionella pneumophila may make sense in some systems, while healthcare facilities may require a broader view because highly immunocompromised patients can develop infections from other Legionella species.  Ownership, Communication, and Continuous Review  Water management plans often fail when responsibility for corrective action has not been assigned. Dr. Cullom calls one version of this breakdown the "milkman approach": a consultant or water treater delivers results, but the facility expects that outside party to organize a response that was never included in the scope.  Effective programs clearly define authority, assign actions, and give engineers, infection prevention professionals, facility leaders, consultants, and water treaters a shared vocabulary. When reviewing a program, examine its records, verification and validation activities, corrective-action documentation, and long-term data trends.  Dr. Cullom recommends giving someone at least 30 minutes each month to consider what the results reveal and whether the plan needs to change. He closes with a direct priority: validate every plan through testing—at least once and, ideally, routinely.  Listen to the full conversation above. Explore related episodes below. Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps  08:40 — Trace introduces Dr. Abe Cullom and begins a practical examination of water safety, risk assessment, and Legionella outbreak prevention. 11:30 — Dr. Cullom defines opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens and explains why vulnerable building occupants face greater infection risks. 13:10 — Building water systems emerge as complex microbial environments shaped by chemistry, hydraulics, construction materials, pathogens, and antibiotic resistance. 14:40 — Fifty years of Legionella research have produced strong scientific guidance, but inconsistent implementation remains the central bottleneck. 16:40 — Process failures, poor communication, limited follow-up, and plans running on autopilot can undermine otherwise sound water management programs. 18:50 — Dr. Cullom compares culture and qPCR testing, including turnaround time, sensitivity, and the challenge of detecting DNA from dead cells. 20:50 — Testing only for Legionella pneumophila may reduce unnecessary responses in some systems, but healthcare facilities may need broader species testing. 22:30 — Viable but non-culturable cells can complicate sampling after heat, disinfection, oxidative stress, starvation, or prolonged stagnation. 24:10 — "Zero Legionella" and "zero cases" represent different goals, requiring teams to manage health risk instead of reacting identically to every positive result. 26:10 — Distal site positivity measures the percentage of sampled outlets testing positive and helps teams interpret building-level risk. 27:50 — Corrective actions can stall when authority, responsibilities, and expectations between facilities, consultants, and water treaters remain unclear. 30:00 — Plans, diagrams, and training should give multidisciplinary program teams a shared vocabulary for productive water-management decisions. 33:10 — Pseudomonas aeruginosa and nontuberculous mycobacteria deserve greater attention as additional building water pathogens. 34:20 — Public health, regulatory responsibilities, and the cost of outbreak mitigation can help professionals make the case for proactive water management. 36:50 — A program review should examine documentation, verification, validation, corrective actions, data trends, and how facility leaders interpret the results. 38:00 — Dr. Cullom previews "Clinical Crossroads: The Risk Burden of ST-108," addressing water quality, sterile processing, and new areas of liability. 39:40 — Program teams should dedicate time each month to reviewing data, challenging assumptions, and updating their understanding of the system. 41:30 — The Legionella Awareness Month lightning round covers essential resources, common communication failures, and routine testing as a driver of improvement.   Connect with Dr. Abe Cullom Phone: 913-948-3948  Email: abe.cullom@pacelabs.com  Website: People Advancing Science®: Transforming Environment & Health   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abraham-cullom-46b04385/   https://www.linkedin.com/company/paceanalyticalservices/     Words of Water with James McDonald  Today's definition is a horizontal pressure vessel located at the bottom of a water tube boiler.

The Messy Middle of Your Outdoor Classroom: Permission to Start SmallWhat if your outdoor classroom doesn't need to be finished—or even close to perfect—to be meaningful?In this episode, we're talking about two permissions every outdoor educator needs: permission to start small and permission to embrace the messy middle.It's easy to look at a beautiful, established outdoor classroom and think you need the budget, materials, master plan, and perfect space before you can begin. But meaningful outdoor classrooms rarely happen all at once. They grow one idea, one experiment, and one small step at a time.And once you start? Things get messy. Children use materials in ways you never expected. Plants die. Plans change. Carefully designed spaces get rearranged. Something you thought children would love gets ignored—while the simplest addition captures their attention for weeks.That messy middle isn't a sign that you're doing it wrong. It's where the learning happens. In this episode, we explore:Why starting small is not the same as thinking smallHow to begin with what you already haveWhy your outdoor classroom doesn't need to look like anyone else'sWhat children's unexpected use of a space can teach usHow to view the “mess” as information instead of failureWhy outdoor classrooms should evolve alongside the children who use themHow to recognize progress that has nothing to do with how beautiful your space looksWhen to keep going, change direction, or let an idea goWhether you're dreaming about your first outdoor classroom, taking your first few steps, or standing right in the middle wondering if any of it is working, this conversation is for you. You don't need the whole plan to begin.Start small. Stay curious. Let it be messy.Then take the next small step. Outdoor Classroom Resources & Links:

If you're doing EVERYTHING in your relationship and starting to resent the hell out of your partner for it…we need to talk. You're the one who notices. Remembers. Plans. Worries. Follows up. Makes sure things actually happen. And after a while, it stops feeling like we're in this together and starts feeling like: Why am I the only one who cares? I've been a marriage counselor for over twenty years, and I can tell you: this dynamic can get ugly. Because underneath the arguments about dishes, schedules, kids, errands, and who was supposed to do what is something much more painful: If you really loved me, why would you let me carry all of this alone? That's why I invited sociologist Dr. Leah Ruppanner, author of Drained, to join me for a very real conversation about mental load, resentment, and how to create a relationship that actually feels balanced again. And some of what she shared surprised me. Because the solution may not be getting your partner to do more. It may not be splitting everything 50/50. And some of the things you're doing to make your relationship more equitable could actually be keeping you stuck. You'll discover: Why does the mental load turn into such intense resentment? What's really happening when you feel like you're the only one who cares? Why can asking your partner to “just help more” backfire? What if 50/50 isn't actually the healthiest goal? Are you unknowingly making it harder for your partner to step up? And how do you change this dynamic when your partner isn't changing? If you're exhausted from carrying your relationship (and even more exhausted from being angry about it), listen to this before you have the same fight again.

This could be yet another example of social media freaking out without having all the facts. Plans have now been released for a memorial event at Utah Valley University on the first anniversary of the murder of political influencer Charlie Kirk. But you may remember a few weeks ago -- when the university announced they'd close campus on that day -- social media freaked out because a memorial had not been announced. Claims that UVU was ignoring the tragic events from a year ago spread like wildfire. But now, it looks like those claims were wrong.

Join Jeff “Tigger” Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they continue the discussion on rebuilding the nation's cowherd from the historically lowest levels ever.  Plus updates on JBS beef processing plant closures, market reports, upcoming sales and lots more on this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Rebuilding The Nation's Cowherd Cowherd numbers along with cattle supplies are the lowest that they have ever been.  However, producers are slowly rebuilding their herds paying close attention to genetics, economics, efficiency, and potential salvage value of cows. Cattle Industry News Tyson Closes Two Plants, Plans on a Third Tyson Foods is restructuring its beef business, announcing plans to close two facilities and look for a buyer for a third. The company will shut down its beef plant in Joslin, Illinois, and its case-ready facility in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Tyson also plans to sell its beef facility in Pasco, Washington. Tyson says it will concentrate its beef operations around three main plants in Dakota City, Nebraska; Holcomb, Kansas; and Amarillo, Texas. The company says production from the closed facilities will be shifted to other plants, and Tyson plans to eventually add a second shift in Amarillo as cattle supplies become available. Tyson says the move is a response to the historically tight U.S. cattle supply. Recent USDA inventory numbers show heifer retention remains limited, suggesting the cattle herd isn't rebuilding quickly. The closures are another sign of the pressure facing beef processors as fewer cattle are available and margins remain tight. Tyson says it will help affected employees find jobs at other company facilities, but has not said how many workers will be impacted. The company previously closed its Lexington, Nebraska, beef plant in January and reduced Amarillo from two shifts to one. Meanwhile, Cargill and JBS have also closed or repurposed beef facilities as the nation's cattle inventory remains historically tight. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/tyson-to-close-two-beef-facilities-pursue-sale-of-third/ Cargill Fort Morgan Plant Set To Restart  More than 1,700 workers at Cargill's beef plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado, are headed back to work after union members approved a new five-year labor agreement. The deal ends a three-month dispute that kept the plant shut down. Cargill says the facility will restart in phases, with workers returning on different schedules. Employees will first go through training and prepare equipment and production areas. The Teamsters say the full return-to-work process is expected to take about 30 days. Cargill locked out workers May 20th after union members rejected an earlier contract offer. The two sides spent months negotiating wages, benefits and other issues before reaching the new agreement. Cargill says cattle processing will resume once employees are trained, cattle supplies are available and the plant is ready. The Fort Morgan plant is a major beef processing facility, and its restart comes as the industry continues to deal with historically tight cattle supplies.

The week she left was the coldest of the year, and nobody was holding her anywhere. The door was right there. It was always right there. That's the whole horror of what Walt built. You can leave any time. You just have to be willing to die in the snow to do it — and he made sure you weren't, and then he called your staying love. What broke it was the custody review. Because her stability was Walt, and the day her children came home was the day she'd have to stand on her own, and he had spent five months making certain she never could. The road through him didn't lead to her kids. It circled. So she stopped trying to win, and started trying to get out. Which meant becoming, on purpose, for the length of one conversation, exactly the woman he had always so gently implied she secretly was. The finale of The Provider.

Jesus also told them other parables. He said, “The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a king who prepared a great wedding feast for his son. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come! So he sent other servants to tell them, ‘The feast has been prepared. The bulls and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet!' But the guests he had invited ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them. The king was furious, and he sent out his army to destroy the murderers and burn their town. And he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren't worthy of the honor. Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.' So the servants brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he noticed a man who wasn't wearing the proper clothes for a wedding. ‘Friend,' he asked, ‘how is it that you are here without wedding clothes?' But the man had no reply. Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen.” Jesus is using the example of a royal wedding. The prince is getting married and the king is sending invitations to the celebration. It would have been considered an absolute honor to receive this invitation. There would be no reason NOT to go to the wedding. Everyone hearing this story knew you simply would not miss this opportunity. How foolish to not go when the king has invited you to be part of the royal celebration. And Jesus is saying, the true King of all kings, the maker of Heaven and Earth, our Heavenly Father, has invited us to his celebration. How unbelievably foolish would it be for us to refuse his goodness. For real, why do we resist? God says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for YOU. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” Why in the world would we refuse his good plans? But we do, don’t we? A few months ago I was trying to make a decision. It was a pretty big decision and I didn’t know what to do. I knew what I wanted to do because I was just tired. But I didn’t have any peace about it. So, I sat down and journaled my prayer asking God for his direction. Afterwards, I sat and waited for the Holy Spirit to show me God’s answer. His answer to me was I had free will to make any choice I wanted, but God had an invitation for me to trust him. An invitation to continue on with him on the journey even when I was really tired. I had received an invitation to God’s goodness – why in the world would I refuse that? With this new perspective of God’s invitation, I accepted, I trusted him, I continued, and he renewed me. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. I bet right now God is inviting you into his goodness. The problem is, it might require you to step out of your comfort zone. It might require you to put a bra on, along with some real pants and show up early. It might make you meet new people, go where you’ve never gone before, forfeit control and forfeit comfort. Trade your known for the unknown. And here’s the thing, if your world has slowly shrank in and become smaller, that invitation is becoming harder and harder for you to accept. That’s the way a little life works. Our life just keeps shrinking and shrinking, while the confines of our comfort zone tell us to just stay here where it’s known and where it’s safe. All while God created you for a great big, beautiful life! Girl, you’ve been missing out! There’s so much more for you. God’s goodness is out here, available for the taking – but you’ve been choosing comfort over Kingdom. You’ve been choosing what is easy over what is eternal. You’ve been choosing what you know over what God is inviting you to discover. If God is inviting you, why are you not going? If your life has gotten too busy to accept an invitation to God’s good plans, then quite simply, YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME TOO BUSY. If your life has become so comfortable that you don’t want to be inconvenienced, YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME TOO COMFORTABLE. If your life has become so predictable that you don’t have room for the unexpected things God wants to do, YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME TOO SMALL. If you have so carefully built your life that there is no room left for God to interrupt it, you aren’t actually living surrendered – You’re living scheduled. And maybe that’s the invitation today. Not an invitation to do more. An invitation to make room. Make room for God to surprise you. Make room for people you didn’t plan to meet. Make room for places you didn’t plan to go. Make room for opportunities you didn’t see coming. Make room for obedience that doesn’t make sense yet. Make room for a life that is bigger than the one you could have planned for yourself. Because here’s what I’ve learned: God’s invitations rarely come wrapped in comfort. Sometimes His invitation looks like an uncomfortable conversation. Sometimes it looks like showing up when you’d rather stay home. Sometimes it looks like saying yes before you know how. Sometimes it looks like releasing something you’ve been holding onto. Sometimes it looks like walking into the room where you don’t know anybody. Sometimes it looks like putting on a bra, real pants, and getting your butt out the door. And sometimes the invitation is simply: “Trust Me.” That’s what mine was. And when I said yes, I discovered something I don’t want you to miss: God’s invitation wasn’t taking something good away from me. It was leading me into something better. I thought I was sacrificing my comfort. God was expanding my life. I thought I was choosing obedience over what I wanted. But what I discovered was that obedience was actually the doorway to what I wanted most. That’s the deception of a little life. We think we’re protecting ourselves when we’re actually restricting ourselves. We think we’re choosing peace when we’re actually avoiding growth. We think we’re choosing comfort when we’re actually missing the whole point. We think we’re keeping our lives manageable when God is standing outside the door saying, “Girl, I have so much more for you.” Where is God inviting you? What have you been saying no to because it’s inconvenient? What have you been avoiding because it’s uncomfortable? Where have you allowed fear to make the decision for you? The King has prepared the feast. The table is set. The invitation is in your hand. Don’t miss the feast because you’re too comfortable sitting at home. Don’t miss God’s goodness because you’re afraid of what saying yes might cost you. Don’t keep choosing a little life when you’ve been invited into a BIG one. And here’s the really crazy thing about this parable: The invitation is not the end of the story. The king invited everyone. The good. The bad. The people who had their act together. The people who absolutely did not. The people who looked like they belonged at a royal wedding and the people who probably showed up wondering if they had accidentally walked into the wrong party. Some accepted, most did not. Everyone was invited, deserving or not. And you know what that is – That’s grace. You didn’t earn the invitation. You didn’t clean yourself up enough to deserve it. You didn’t become good enough to get through the door. You were invited because the King wanted you there. The King will not have an empty banquet. Girl, if you don’t accept his invitation to goodness, he will find someone to fill your spot at the table. But then Jesus tells us something strange. The king walks into the banquet and notices a man who isn’t wearing wedding clothes and has him thrown out. Wait what? At first this seems harsh. The guy was invited off the street – How was he supposed to have wedding clothes? But Jesus isn’t talking about a literal dress code. Dig deeper. Jesus is talking about someone refusing to CHANGE. (Let that set in). The man refused to change, so he was thrown out. When you accept God’s invitation, grace gets you in the door. But grace doesn’t leave you the same once you’re inside. Grace changes you and makes you new. The invitation says, “Come.” The wedding clothes say, “Now become.” God doesn’t invite you into his Kingdom just so you can keep living exactly the way you were living before you met Him. He invites you into something new. A new way of thinking. A new way of loving. A new way of living. A new way of responding. A new way of trusting. A new way of seeing yourself. A new way of seeing other people. A new way of doing life. You don’t have to earn God’s invitation. But if you accept the invitation, you have to be willing to let the King change you. You weren’t invited to a better version of your old life. You were invited to a completely different life. A BIG life. A Kingdom life. A life where you don’t have to be driven by fear, because you trust God. A life where you don’t have to control everything, because you know who is in control. A life where you don’t have to protect yourself from every possible disappointment, because you know God is faithful. A life where you don’t jump through hoops trying to be accepted, because you already know you’re loved. What is God inviting you into? And maybe even more importantly: What are you allowing to keep you from accepting the invitation? Is it comfort? Fear? Control? Busyness? Your need to know exactly how it’s going to turn out? Your fear of what other people will think? Your exhaustion? Your excuses? The King has prepared the feast. The table is set. The invitation has been sent. And you can keep standing outside wondering if you’re ready. Or you can walk through the door. You can say yes. You can trust Him. You can put on the wedding clothes and start changing. Girl, the King has invited you to the feast. Don’t miss the party because you’re too comfortable in the parking lot. Don’t miss the Kingdom because you’re afraid to leave your little life. Don’t miss what God has for you because you’re waiting until you feel ready. The table has been set and there’s a seat for you here – Oh how I pray you accept the invitation, let your life be changed, and meet me at the party!
