This past Sunday I got the rare opportunity to go on the field at Busch Stadium before a Cardinals game. Shout out to the Cardinals organization for allowing my church to purchase tickets for our congregation so our pastor could throw out the first pitch and our children's and youth choir could sing during the 7th inning stretch. Also shout out to everyone at @cbcstlnews (Central Baptist Church) who supported this event. We faced some major challenges in the process, but God came through for us. #faith #PutMeInCoach #cbcstl #MyPastorThrowsStrikes #Cardinals (at Busch Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2IrqzYh-br/?igshid=1v7si2s2krcci

Went to my first pro sports championship celebration, and the energy there was unreal. Until then I never imagined I would get to see Lord Stanley's Cup paraded through the streets of STL. #LGB #GloriaOnRepeat #StanleyCupChamps #STL #WeWantTheCup (at Downtown St. Louis) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByzDqdYB36x/?igshid=1t93rpkzli7a1

“And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.”

Never thought those salsa lessons I took a few years ago would come in handy, but they definitely did last night.

First Fair Saint Louis at the Arch grounds. Got to see the renovations, an air show, and some fireworks and definitely was not disappointed. #4thofjuly #fairstlouis #stl (at Gateway Arch National Park)

WASHINGTON—In an effort to calm the uneasy tech mogul’s nerves during his congressional hearing Wednesday, members of the U.S. House of Representatives reassured Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg that they weren’t actually going to be doing anything about any of this. “Mr. Zuckerberg, the members of this committee have noticed you seem a little bit anxious today, so we just want to make sure you understand this is the last time you’ll ever have to deal with these kinds of questions,” said Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR), urging the 33-year-old billionaire not to sweat it, as his testimony was a mere formality that would by no means lead to any new laws or regulations governing his industry. “We just need to pretend like we’re doing something right now, due to the fact that people are pretty mad at you. But once the heat dies down, you can go right back to whatever it was you were doing all along. Seriously, you can relax. Oil executives, big bank CEOs—they’ve all been in that chair before and have come out totally fine. You have absolutely no reason to worry.” Several members of Congress went on to tell Zuckerberg there’s even a chance they could work together in the future on crafting legislation.

Finally made it to a Lecrae concert last night. On top of a great show, there was an even greater message.

Went to the STL Auto Show yesterday, and no doubt the best part was witnessing​ @vaughngittinjr and @chelseadenofa burn up some tires during a drift demo. #drifting #stlautoshow #burningrubber (at America's Center Convention Complex)
