Donald Trump Ackman, our goldendoodle, and I discussed his role in upcoming GRDR videos—and we shook on it!
He brings the personality. I bring the camera. Apparently, Cathy handles his negotiations. 😂
A handshake still means something around here—even when it’s a paw.
For the days when pressure gets loud: still loved, still being changed, still held by Jesus.

Things go sideways. We lose our balance. Growing up means learning to pause, own our part, and choose the next right step.
God gives us grace. We can give each other some, too—even Papa.

We had to tell the truth about our own lives, get right with Jesus, and take the next right step. Get Right To Do Right exists to help others do the same through practical teaching, stories, books, and songs. God gets the glory, because without Him we would not have this story to tell.
GRDR grew out of faith, family, hard miles, surrender, work, mistakes, recovery, service, and learning to choose the next right thing.
The same principle belongs in the driveway, the truck, the woods, the church, the house, and every decision that follows.
A picture, a passage, and one next right step for taking the gospel seriously.
A man came to a place where two roads met. He had heard the words, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” and they troubled him. Did God want him terrified? Or was God warning him not to treat salvation casually?
So he stopped. He opened the Word, got honest with Jesus, and refused to keep walking until he understood what he could. He discovered that “work out” did not mean earning what Jesus had already paid for. It meant taking the gospel seriously enough to let it work through his choices, words, habits, and next step.
Fear, he learned, was not meant to drive him away from God. It was reverence—a sober awareness that salvation is holy, grace is not a license to stay the same, and he needs God’s help.
Then peace met him on the road. He did not have to pretend he had everything figured out. He could bring his anxiety to God, pray honestly, and trust that it is God who works in him “both to will and to work for his good pleasure.”
He took the next right step—not to buy salvation, but because Jesus had already opened the way. The fear became reverence, the trembling became dependence, and dependence opened into a peace that passes understanding.
“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” — Philippians 2:12
Today’s picture: When you are unsure, do not ignore it and do not panic. Stop, open the Word, get honest with Jesus, and take the next right step.
