It’s almost time to celebrate the 4th of July and take a moment to breathe in the reality of what a privileged life we have as part of an independent nation. More than two centuries of leaders, military personnel and a consensus among U.S. citizens have kept Independence Day intact on the calendar. Along with a lifetime of gratitude and appreciation, I hope to always do my part by contributing positively and productively as a citizen and help guide others to do the same.

The woman pretended not to hear the older gentleman argue with the cashier that he had indeed given him a $20 bill and a $5 bill as a prepay for gas.

The cashier stood his ground. “Sir, you only gave me $5.”While the two went back and forth, the woman inched in a little closer as she realized a different battle was warring within her spirit.

The stark contrast caught my attention. It also helped keep me grounded on how much preview content to share regarding the upcoming Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting. You may have noticed we waited until about a month out to compile the various items you need to know ahead of the meeting, which will take place June 11–12 in Indianapolis.

You might imagine our staff is a bit sad this week as we prepare to send our teammate Jessica Ingram off to her next big adventure (see story below). It is sad for us but we are extremely happy for her. Jessica’s contributions to the work of TAB Media Group have been widely varied and much appreciated. It has been fun watching her grow professionally, personally and spiritually through the years. She brings a lot of life and energy to our team and has become a special friend to all of us.
