Think of one dad. Friend. Brother. Neighbor. Coworker. Send him an invite. Just say: "Hey man, I found a solid group of dads helping each other out. Thought you might like it." Simple.

For the lie that “someone else will take care of it.” Rest in Peace, “Someone Else” A Bagged & Tagged Reflection There is a quiet phrase that weakens men without them realizing it: “Someone else will take care of it.” “That’s not my job.” “My wife will handle that.” “I’ll address that when the kids are older.” “I’ll get serious about God later.” It doesn’t feel like rebellion. It feels like delay. But delay slowly becomes neglect, and neglect quietly erodes the man God called us to be. So today we hold a funeral. Not for a person. For a mindset. Rest in peace, “someone else.” Obedience is Proactive Many people think obedience to God simply means avoiding sin. But biblical obedience is active. It means stepping forward when something needs to be done. Even when it’s inconvenient. Even when you don’t feel like it. Even when no one is watching. That is discipline. Discipline is doing what is required, not what is comfortable. Scripture Galatians 6:5 “For each will have to bear his own load.” God gives every man responsibilities that no one else can carry. Your faith. Your character. Your leadership. And Scripture shows us the posture of a man who accepts that responsibility: Joshua 24:15 “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua didn’t wait for someone else. He stepped forward. The Man Who Shows Up A man of God doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. He shows up. He opens the Word when he’s tired. He disciplines his body when motivation fades. He leads his family even when he feels inadequate. Not because he wants to. Because it’s required. Bagged & Tagged Truth Being Tagged means you belong to Christ. Being Bagged means you live above reproach. But neither happens while waiting for someone else. They happen when a man decides: “If God placed it in my life, I will carry it.” ****Reflection**** Where have you been waiting for “someone else”? And what responsibility will you step into today? Rest in peace, “someone else.”

…just kidding. But the truth is worth a look! But studies have shown that people who regularly eat spicy foods tend to have lower mortality rates than those who rarely eat them. The heat comes from Capsaicin. When you eat it, your body thinks it’s experiencing heat or pain, which triggers a stress response. That response can boost metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, increase circulation, and reduce inflammation. There’s also a deeper historical reason humans learned to love spices. For centuries—long before refrigeration—our ancestors used spices to preserve food and kill harmful bacteria. Many spices naturally have antimicrobial properties that slowed spoilage and made food safer to eat. Over time, those same compounds also appear to support a healthier gut environment. So spices didn’t just make food taste better — they protected food and supported the body. No, spices won’t make you immortal. But they do reveal an old truth: Sometimes the things that burn a little are the very things that make us stronger. 🌶️ And Dads that can handle Spices are tough 💪! 😂 I got a few from my birthday! I’m planning on having a “hot ones” party. Getting a bunch of spices and bringing them to the brewery down the street. Having an immortal party! 😂 I have a large collection also in the fridge.

Still have to post, but made great progress today. And I am still green! How about you!?
