Got a Brita filtered water bottle and have never enjoyed water so much. Why didn't I do this earlier??

⭐Unleashing Creativity: We need designers, engineers, the kind of thinkers who can work alongside AI, not be replaced by it.

The "funding fairy" doesn't do STEM grants (trust me, I checked), so schools, let's get resourceful!

STEM isn't just about fancy tech. It's about:

⭐Outsmarting the AI: Teaching kids to build what the bots can't even dream of.

⭐Kindergarten Coding Shenanigans: Because algorithms before algebra makes sense in the 21st century!

Is your classroom stuck in the 20th century? πŸ’Ύ Time for a STEM Upgrade! (A thread)

Let's face it, the future workforce won't be needing many fax machine repair technicians. BUT, our kids will need top-notch problem-solving, coding, and robot-wrangling skills. πŸ€–

Always tired.

Find God on the Mountain: Hike Hard, Pray Harder A Man’s Guide to Turning Outdoor Challenges into Spiritual Victories

There’s a reason Jesus often retreated to the mountains. It’s where the distractions fall away, and we’re faced with raw truth. A steep climb does the same. Every step uphill is a choice. #outdoors #faith

I may be an author, but I still have a day job.

By night, I'm a writer.

By day, I'm an ed-tech expert helping schools across NY start or expand their STEM programs. It's not always easy but these students deserve every resource available to them with how many taxes we pay.

The good Lord didn’t create us to be cubicle dwellers. He put us in a Garden.

Think about that.

The first calling for mankind was to work the land, to be caretakers over the wild places. Something primal is stirred in a man when he gets back to those roots.

A little bit of Zoa, and a little bit of RWBY to kick off the weekend.

Almost done with volume 7.

Why have I never watched this series before??

Inspiration doesn't have to come from books or movies.

πŸ‚πŸŒ¬οΈThe crunch of leaves, the wind through the trees...even the challenges of a tough hike can provide a metaphor for pushing through tough writing stretches.

Where do you find your off-the-page inspiration?

War is not fair.

Work is not fair.

Life is not fair.

Use your enemies, whether it be people, spirits, or creativity block, against themselves, and win the war.

For those on here who didn’t know yet, I published my second book a few months ago and it has been helpful to many so far!

I’m glad to hear so many people found this simple devotional helpful in their daily lives!

We've all been there.
The cursor blinks.
Instead of fighting writer's block, sometimes the best tactic is a strategic retreat. For me, a walk in nature works wonders. A change of scenery can offer that spark to ignite a stalled story. What's your go-to method for pushing past that creative hurdle?

A typewriter surrounded by flower petals

Booted up the typewriter this morning and started up a new project that I think could be a great addition to the young adult fiction category.

Still messing around with plot and characters, but future readers are in for a journey with this one.

If you’re scrolling on here for #writing advice today, let me be the first to offer assistance.

Just do it.

Write the thing. Stop procrastinating. Get the first word down on paper even if it’s just β€œthe”.
