Are you recouping and regrouping from the Thanksgiving holidays? š

No matter where you are today or where youāll be tomorrow,
From our family to yours,
Happy Thanksgiving!
Eat well. Be at peace. Embrace hope.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

Thanksgiving is not an event to be attended.
Itās not a holiday to be survived.
Itās not a date to be dreaded or anticipated.
Thanksgiving is an attitude of the heart.
It begins with gratefulness and ends with love.
It is consumed with peace and wrapped up in hope.
Thanksgiving can be now, and it can be tomorrow.
As long as you never leave it behind.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15

Gandhi said,
Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.
Although, I donāt follow the teachings of Gandhi, there is truth in those words.
Scripture tells us this in a much simpler form,
āFor as he thinks in his heart, so is he.ā
Thanksgiving isnāt a date on the calendar or a time of year, itās an attitude of the heart that should be lived out every single day.
What are you thinking about today?
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
Proverbs 23:7

When you have a grateful heart, it doesnāt take much to make you happy.
It can be a cool summer breeze or the first snowfall is winter.
It can be a bright spring flower or a golden falling leaf.
It can be a newborn babyās gentle sigh or an elderly loved oneās hand pat.
It doesnāt take much to bring a smile because the heart is settled within and at rest.
Are you grateful today?
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Isaiah 26:3
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

What podcasts are you listening to?
Well, Iād love to say Iām listening to some podcasts. Iām so far behind in this that every time I hear podcasts mentioned, I hear a little voice in my head that says, āYou are too far behind the times!ā Lol!
Iāve started a few podcasts from time to time, but I have a bad problem of getting too easily distracted when Iām simply listening to something. I can read a book and be so in tune that I wonāt hear you calling my name, and I can watch something and be highly focused; yet, when I set something to audio and start doing something else, whether it be driving, cleaning or writing, I may not catch everything the speaker is saying.
And Iāve really tried. The only time I can be focused with precision with audio is if Iām walking. This does work; however, when Iām walking, I try not to be distracted from those whom I might meet along the way. It seems rude to me to walk passed someone and not say hello, and more so, I donāt like to have my ears plugged when Iām outdoors. So, Iām in a bit of a predicament. Ha!
However, if I were to dive into some podcasts, and the few Iāve listened to before are Dr. Mark Rutland, Pastor TD Jakes, Pastor Jentezen Franklin, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, and a few audio books like Lord of the Rings (the one that used to be on Spotify was phenomenal!).
Iāve heard thereās some dynamic ones; so, maybe if I would just settle in to listen, Iād find some great ones!


You see the memes everywhere:
Stay Calm ⦠with some sort of ending.
Sometimes, itās hard to stay calm when your heart is broken.
Sometimes, itās hard to stay calm when youāve been wronged.
Sometimes, itās hard to stay calm when youāve been silenced by injustice.
But sometimes, the only way to react with dignity is to react with a calm that doesnāt say I am weak.
But rather, it is a calm that says, no matter what it may look like right now,
Iām on the winning team, and victory is coming.
So, stay calm.
Because peace resides within.
And where there is peace, there is a brighter hope for tomorrow.
Now when these things begin to happen, lookup and lift up your heads, because yourredemption draws near.
Luke 21:28

My journey didnāt stop with mere time travel or writing; it led me to become one of the most sought-after empaths, a soulful psychic who reads the hidden depths of the human spirit. Iāve been blessedāor perhaps burdenedāwith an ability that allows me to feel the emotions of people from every corner of time.

Poetry for Finding Meaning in the Madness
Dedicated to movie nerdom, nostalgia, and escape. In the late 90s, I worked at Blockbuster Video where they let me take home two free movies a day. I caught up on the classics and reviewed theatrical releases for Denver 'burbs newspapers and magazines. Today, while raising two young, beautiful daughters with my amazing wife, I look forward to anything rated R and not Bluey. Comments and dialogue encouraged!
