You Can’t Carry Everything

This week is about weight. The kind you carry in your body, your mind, your calendar — and the kind you don’t realize you’re dragging until something small breaks. A house issue. An elbow twinge. A single sentence that sticks with you longer than it should.

Things feel full lately. Not loud, not chaotic — just dense. There’s a deeper focus settling in. More awareness of time. More desire to get things right. Not for perfection’s sake, but because certain things matter more now.

This episode moves between the personal and the planetary. Reflections on work, value, and why making something doesn’t always mean it gets seen. A few quiet thoughts on Charlie Kirk, responsibility, and why “Here I am, Lord, use me” keeps echoing. Golf makes an appearance. So does the baby registry. So does abortion, drones, pickleball, and coffee cake. Somehow, it all connects.

Nothing in this hour is random. It’s just life, noticed. And when you really notice life — the humor, the heaviness, the hidden clarity — it starts to feel lighter. Not easy. But lighter.

Let’s keep walking.
