- Mark J, "Faithful" poem 

Stop trying to be better than everyone else and falling into the egotistical comparison trap. The only person you need to be better than is whoever you were yesterday.
In honor of the recent National Daughter's Day. I love being a father so much. My girls consistently remind me to have fun no matter where we are, to be in the moment no matter when it is, to forgive quickly no matter the wrong and celebrate the simple blessings no matter how small. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not the greatest father. I'm not even sure what being the greatest even means. I just know that I'm a better father today than I was in 2011 when my first princess was born. My focus is not on trying to be better than anyone else. I just want to be better than who I was yesterday. And any growth I experience along the way is a result of God's grace flowing through His Spirit and through the community He has placed around me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jainna Grace, my deep thinker and natural athlete and Ariya Faith, my brilliant creative and natural leader, thank you two so much for being such a beautiful and unstoppable team. I'm learning so much from you both and honored out of my mind to be your Daddy.
No, I don’t air my ”dirty laundry”. It’s called sharing my TESTIMONY. I speak up so you can understand how he cleaned my dirty laundry 🙋🏽‍♂️🙌🏽🙏🏽. __ . . . __ Thank you CR in Safety Harbor and Port Orange, FL for trusting me to share through spoken word, song, and speaking. I never get tired of exchanging stories with the body!
Just some married life wisdom 🤗.
Watching you grow before my very eyes. Happy 6th my amazing Jainna Grace. I’ve tried to capture your lovey laughter on a swing each year. You bring so much joy to our home. So grateful God blessed us with a second born princess like you. So unique, thoughtful, beautiful, and joyful 👸🏻.
