Self-care! This week, I am dedicating my attention to self-care, a crucial aspect often neglected as we juggle various responsibilities. In a recent conversation, I encountered someone who tirelessly supports their family, yet their own needs were only acknowledged at the end of our discussion. While the biblical principle of "bearing one another's burdens" Galatians 6:2 emphasizes the importance of helping others, it also reminds us that our own well-being must not be overlooked. Engaging in self-care is vital for nurturing our body, mind, and spirit, which in turn empowers us to serve both God and others more effectively. Jesus exemplified this by frequently withdrawing to pray, highlighting the necessity of emotional and spiritual renewal Luke 5:16. The core of self-care lies in replenishing our strength, allowing us to give from a place of abundance rather than exhaustion. The saying "you can't pour from an empty cup" reinforces the idea that we must first be filled by God's spirit to make a meaningful impact on those around us, as illustrated in John 7:37-38. As you invest in others, remember to care for your own spirit to avoid burnout and sustain your ability to serve. Moving forward, prioritize your own replenishment before extending yourself to others, as neglecting your needs can hinder your journey. I refuse to spend another day feeling depleted for the sake of others. Will you join me in this commitment?

Hello everyone. I'm asking for prayers tonight after receiving a knock on my door from a police officer notifying me that my daughter had been in a car accident. After making a few phone calls. I found out that she, and her brother had been traveling over the holiday, and while driving he started getting tired, and fell asleep at the wheel. He wasn't hurt in the accident, but she has a long recovery ahead of her. She suffered multiple spine fractures in her neck, which if not careful could damag the Phrenic Nerve which directly controls the diaphragm for breathing, so its damage can cause paralysis and breathing cessation. She busted her spleen and fractured an artery, but they've placed a coil in the artery to stop the internal bleeding. 🙏 She also fractured her ankle, pictured her lung, and broke her femur in her right leg. She's having surgery in the morning, and I'm praying that first, and foremost God's will be done, but also that he may guide the hands of the nurses, and surgeons to perform their work without any complications. That he calms my heart through this, and to send comfort to all of those that know and love her. 🙏 Thank you. #Prayer #PrayForYourKids #CarAccident

The Teenager Who Accidentally Performed Brain Surgery on Himself With a Gun. In 1983, a 19-year-old Canadian student known in medical journals only as "George" was suffering from a devastating case of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. His condition was so debilitating that he was paralyzed by compulsions, forcing him to wash his hands hundreds of times a day, drop out of school, and completely isolate himself. Desperate and believing his mind was entirely broken beyond repair, George decided to take his own life. He managed to get his hands on a .22-caliber rifle, pointed the barrel into his own mouth, and pulled the trigger. The bullet tore directly through the left frontal lobe of his brain, but miraculously missed every major blood vessel and vital life-sustaining area. Paramedics rushed his unconscious body to the hospital, where trauma surgeons successfully removed the bullet fragments and saved his life. When George finally woke up, his doctors were stunned. Not only had he survived without any permanent physical brain damage or loss of cognitive function, but the crippling mental illness that had ruined his life was completely gone. By sheer astronomical luck, George had accidentally performed a flawless, incredibly precise prefrontal lobotomy on himself. The bullet had perfectly severed the exact neural pathways responsible for his compulsive behavior, accidentally curing the very illness that drove him to pull the trigger.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition where the force of blood pushing against artery walls stays consistently too high, making the heart work harder than it should. Most people don’t feel symptoms, which is why it’s often called a “silent” condition, but untreated hypertension can lead to serious complications like heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and vision problems. It develops from a mix of factors—age, family history, excess sodium, stress, lack of physical activity, alcohol use, and being overweight—and is diagnosed when blood pressure readings repeatedly measure at or above 130/80 mm Hg. While lifestyle changes such as reducing salt, staying active, and managing stress can help lower blood pressure, some people also need medication as part of their treatment plan.

A jury just handed down a decision that could change how social media companies operate moving forward. Meta and YouTube were found responsible for designing features that kept a young user hooked for hours at a time, contributing to anxiety, depression, and body image issues. The case focused on things people use every day without thinking twice — infinite scroll, autoplay, and algorithm-driven content that keeps feeding you more. The now 20-year-old woman said she started using these platforms as a kid and became deeply dependent on them, using filters and posting constantly while struggling with her mental health. The jury awarded $3 million in damages, with Meta responsible for most of it. But the bigger picture is what this could lead to next. There are thousands of similar lawsuits already filed across the country. And for the first time, a jury agreed with the argument that these platforms aren’t just hosting content — they’re designed in a way that can cause real harm. Both companies say they plan to appeal. This doesn’t mean social media is going away. But it does raise a bigger question a lot of people have been quietly asking: At what point does “engagement” cross the line into something else?

So when your friends die because their cocaine contains fentanyl & killed 4-20 of your best friends in a year; then you complain about the attacks. Unless it is 90-99 % pure, it does not be on the street or distributed! Cocaine, Herion, & PCP must be pure of the same strength so you pay for what you are supposed to; get the true formula & have it last for days or weeks when you are in the mode to do it. Not get garbage to let you down & you spend all or your$ to never get what you hit 2 years ago! I can say that the drug dealers made me quit 30 years ago & I am glad I said that as I have stuck to staying away because the 89’s you got real & there is no real in the US now including Rx antibiotics that give you uncontrollable diarrhea & caused me to quit! Best decision in my life! Changed my crazy friends & my life changed for the better! Addiction is an issue but if you can’t get the strength that you remembered, it causes issues. I just wish they offered low income programs
