Podcasts about Helen Keller

JUL. 16, 2026You're called to do "good works"."Being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God." Col 1:10 NKJVMany people know how Helen Keller overcame the difficult physical challenge of being left without hearing, speech, and sight after contracting fever as a baby and how she eventually learned to communicate by learning Braille. Her life inspired millions of people. One of her ardent admirers was author Mark Twain. She was invited to visit every president at the White House from her childhood on. What many people don't know, however, is how hard Helen worked as an adult. After graduating with honors from Radcliffe College, she worked to help others until her death at the age of eighty-eight.She authored numerous articles. She gave lectures for the American Foundation for the Blind and raised millions of dollars for them.On her eightieth birthday, she was given the Helen Keller International Award for those who give outstanding help to the blind. In the Bible, Paul prayed for the Colossian Christians: "That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him" (Col 1:10 NKJV). And he gave them two ways in which they could do this: "Being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God" (NKJV). Faith and works; spirituality and service; ministering to the Lord and meeting the needs of others. That's how Helen Keller lived. You say, "But my goal is to please the Lord rather than people." Here's how you do that: "With goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men" (Eph 6:7 NKJV). Hymn writer Charles Meigs wrote: "Others, Lord, yes others, let this my motto be. Help me to live for others, that I may live like Thee."You're called to do "good works" Help me to live for others.Share This DevotionalSend us Fan MailSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Every child carries something precious inside, even when the world cannot see it yet. In this episode of Rise and Shine, host Adrienne returns to the teaching of the Lubavitcher Rebbe that every soul is a diamond, infinitely valuable and waiting to be polished until its light shines through. Drawing on the story of Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, Adrienne explores a truth at the heart of Jewish parenting: latent potential cannot emerge until someone believes it exists. She weaves together Jewish wisdom on the soul, the idea of being a "speaking soul," and what it means to recognize the hidden worth in the people we love most. For Jewish mothers, it is a reminder that believing in their child is a quiet form of leadership in its own right, one that shapes who they become.   The Rise & Shine Podcast Series is made possible by the generous support of Bonnie Vozar of Chicago, Illinois.

Romans 8:18-28 Present Suffering and Future Glory 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[b] have been called according to his purpose. Transcript (Transcribed by TurboScribe) Our speaker this morning is Jim Hetherington. He needs no introduction and we are so glad to have him as part of our congregation, um, and wherever Jim is. Regrets will come to each and every one of us at some point or time, and they seem to speak the loudest when it’s silent. When things are quiet, that’s when the voices of regret seem to speak the loudest. And regrets can come in small things and come in big things. It can be something small and simple like, I meant to bring some cereal and contribute to the food bank, I just kept forgetting. I meant to take a casserole to my neighbour to support and encourage them, but I just ran out of time. I got busy. Because we get busy, don’t we? And we can use busyness as an excuse for not doing things. Regrets can come in big things. Could be a decision that we made, a financial decision, an investment that we didn’t take advantage of. You come in a career choice, a relationship choice. Regrets can come in all kinds of shapes and forms. The thing they say about regret is that discipline, you know, doing something to encourage, to support, to grow, costs very little. The invoice that we get from regrets is huge, and oftentimes regret hits us when we can’t do anything else about it. I know that many people on their deathbed may be faced with regrets. I guarantee you that they’re not regretting that they can’t get up and go into the office and work on another deal. It’s likely a relationship. It’s likely someone close to them that they regret not investing the time. We just finished a series with Aubrey where he talked about Joseph. Now Joseph, he probably had a few regrets during that course of time. He probably regretted the way he shared that dream, that vision with his brothers. He probably regretted getting himself in a position where he was caught with Potiphar’s wife. There may have been a few regrets because the truth is it took a couple of decades for that entire process from the time he got that dream and shared it to the time that it actually came fulfilled. It was a couple decades. Would you agree that that’s a long time? That’s a long time to hold on to something. That’s a long time to be going through the process, to be going through the stuff. In Genesis 50 verses 20, we read this. Joseph said, you intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. He recognised that through that process, it wasn’t just the circumstances that he found himself in. He could see that God had a bigger picture. God had a bigger plan. So oftentimes we get caught up in circumstances, don’t we? Like I said, you know, we have good intentions of going and supporting and encouraging a friend or a neighbour, but we get busy. Life gets busy. But sometimes those excuses can get in the way and cause even more regret. I know for me, about 15, 16 years ago, I was going through a very busy part and a very busy time in my life and I wasn’t looking after myself. I had the excuse of I’m just too tired at the end of the day to look after myself, to go exercise. I’m too tired. I’m too busy to really eat well and to prepare extra meals. And we can use those excuses. I’m too tired. I’ve been chasing the kids or the grandkids all day long. I’m too tired to spend time reading. I’m too tired to spend time with my husband or with my wife. And we can use excuse after excuse, but all it does is pile up even more regret. Joseph found himself betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison. Yet he recognised that God was using those circumstances. In 1 Samuel 17 47, we read another familiar story of David and Goliath. David heard about the battle that was about to ensue with the Israelites and the Philistines gathered on the front lines. And as was a custom in that day, they would send out their best warriors and they would duke it out to see who would win. And if it needed, they would go into a full-blown battle. But if it could be resolved just with the two very best from each side, that’s how they handled it. So Goliath came out. This big beast of a man came out, said, send out your best. And everybody quivered and shook and shaked. And I’m sure there was some regrets with some of those men in the army, thinking, I didn’t train hard enough. I wish I was stronger. I wish I was better equipped. I wish I would have bought that better Nike equipment last week when it was on sale. Here I am on the front lines with this poor equipment. But David heard of this and he wasn’t going to live with regret. He was going to stand and face the giant. And he went to Saul. He went to his brothers. He went to everyone and they’re like, you’re crazy. You can’t do that. You’re not equipped. You’re not trained. You’re not anything. They tried to put Saul’s armour on him. It didn’t fit. It’d be kind of like wearing, you know, clothes that are 10 sizes too big for you and trying to function in them. So he stripped it off. He said, no, he said, I know a sling. I know stones and that’s what I’m going to use. And when we read 1 Samuel 17, it said, all those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves. For the battle is the Lord’s and he will give all of you into our hands. That’s a pretty bold declaration to be making in front of a big beast of a man, a huge army. Here’s this guy with just his basic clothes on and a sling and a few stones. But the thing that David recognised is that it wasn’t the stone. We could gather scientists. We could gather all kinds of mathematicians. We could gather all kinds of smart people. And they could probably give us 20 reasons why that stone could not have done what it did. And we would all probably agree with it, right? The math is wrong. The angle was wrong. The trajectory was. The fact that it was just a small stone, it’s impossible. I mean, that stone would have to get past the shield bearer, right? Goliath, he was well equipped, but he had his own guy holding a shield in front of him. So it would have to get past that. It would have to get through that helmet. You’ve seen those helmets with the little pointy thing that comes down between the eyes, right? That stone would have to project through that. But David knew something. He knew that it wasn’t a stone that he was throwing. It was a name that he was throwing. It was the name that he knew that was behind that stone that was going to accomplish what he declared it would accomplish. And it did. He wasn’t focused on the circumstances. He didn’t care how big Goliath was. He didn’t care how much armour he had on. He didn’t care about any of those things because he knew behind him was a name that was greater than any other name. And sometimes we can forget that, can’t we? We can forget that. We’re on this side of glory. We know historically we see all of these stories we read. And we’re going to look at a few more, but we know all of these stories. It’d be kind of like, you know, I was thinking about that movie Back to the Future. You’ve seen that movie Back to the Future? It was about a young guy that was transported back into time and he got to see all the stuff that happened and then came back into the future, into time, and was able to live out things differently. But one of the guys got this almanack and the almanack had every sports team that ever won a championship. Everything that was ever anything it happened. And so he knew what was going to happen. And so being transported back, he knew what was going to happen in that time. And so this guy used the book incorrectly and bet on things and was very successful because he knew what the outcome was going to be. We already know what the outcome is going to be, yet sometimes we forget. Sometimes we forget and we just get so focused on circumstances, don’t we? And it’s hard not to get focused on circumstances. When politically we hear all things, you know, things going on crazily, we hear of robberies, we hear of murders, we hear of thefts, we hear of the economy, you know, tanking and all the different things that we hear. It’s easy to get stuck on circumstances. My challenge is, can we get to the place of getting our focus off of the circumstances and onto God’s perspective? Because that’s really what counts. And David saw that in 1 Samuel. Others were focused on their skills, their strength and ability, the circumstances, but David saw God’s perspective. He didn’t throw a stone, he threw a name. The rest of the army was fearful. I was thinking of Helen Keller. One of her favourite, her famous quotes is, fear, the best way out is through. Do you know what fear stands for? Fear stands for false evidence appearing real. But it can paralyse us until we become like Helen Keller and go through it. And then all of a sudden we realise, oh, it wasn’t as scary as I thought it was going to be. It’s kind of like, it’s kind of like the boogeyman, you know, when we’re little. Boogeyman never showed up when the lights were on, always showed up when the lights were off. Never showed up when our parents were home or when friends were over hanging out with us. It was always when it was quiet, nobody was around, right? The boogeyman never showed up when there was busyness going on, but when things were silent and quiet, all of a sudden. And it’s the same with our regrets. It’s the same with things, situations and times and points in our life. All of a sudden when there’s silence, all of those voices start to rise up. I know people that cannot go a day, they cannot be in their home and not have a television going, have some music playing, some background noise. Why? Because when it’s silent, those voices of regret, the voices of indecision, those voices seem to come up. Similar to the boogeyman when the lights go out. But the truth is that they’re false evidence appearing real. They’re just fears that we need to go through and face. In Luke 24, we read an account of a couple of people walking down the road. This is after Jesus was crucified, dead, buried. They thought it was over, right? The disciples had invested everything believing that Jesus was who he said he was. But when he was killed, crucified, and all of a sudden his body’s missing, they didn’t know what was going on. They said, well, we better just go back to what we know. And so many of the disciples, they went back to fishing because fishing is what they knew. These two were heading back to Damascus, and they’re just walking, just thinking about the circumstances, thinking about what’s going on. And Jesus comes alongside and walks along them, but the scripture tells us in verse 16, it says, but they were kept from recognising him. Interesting. They were so focused on the circumstances, they didn’t even realise that it was Jesus walking alongside with them, having a conversation. Sometimes we can get so focused on our circumstances that we don’t think our prayers are effective. Sometimes we can get so focused on our circumstances that if somebody says an encouraging word, it just goes in one ear and out the other, because we’re so focused on the circumstances. We’re looking at our bank balances. We’re looking at our broken down car in the driveway. We’re looking at the broken relationships that are around us. We’re looking at the economy and the positions that we’re in. We’re so focused on the circumstances, we don’t think that there’s any way that God could possibly use that for good. But yet when we look at it historically, we see over and over and over again how God has used things for good. And as they were walking along the road, they came to their location, and Jesus pretended that he was going to continue on down the road. And they go, wait a minute, wait a minute. It’s getting late. It’s getting dark. Why don’t you come and just hang out with us for the night? Let’s just have a meal together, and then you can set off in the morning. So Jesus agreed, and he goes in, and they sit down, and they have a meal together. And he took the bread, and he broke the bread. And then all of a sudden they looked at each other and went, wait a second. Something’s happening here. Something looks eerily familiar. My spidey senses are starting to tingle. There’s something about this guy that is familiar. And they recognised, and God opened their eyes, and they saw who he was. And then instantly he was gone. But he got their eyes off of the circumstances and onto his perspective. Jesus was right there, but they couldn’t see him because they were so focused on the circumstances rather than his perspective. Just because we can’t see God doesn’t mean that he isn’t working. Sometimes we just feel that, don’t we? I mean, we’re human. We can be real. We can be honest. Sometimes we just don’t feel that God is working. We don’t believe that God’s working because we’re so fixated, so focused. I was thinking about Jonah. I didn’t get a scripture for this, but don’t worry. There’s no scripture verse for this one. But I was just thinking about Jonah. I’m sure he had some regrets, right? God met him, said, Jonah, I want you to go to Nineveh. He said, no way. I’m going this way. I’m out of here. I’m not going down there. And he completely disobeyed, went the wrong way, hopped on a ship, tried to take a cruise to get away from it all, gets thrown off overboard, and gets swallowed up by a big fish. Spends three days in a big fish. How many here, if you spent three days in a big fish, would have some regrets of your decisions? Right? Those would be huge regrets. I’m stuck in the belly of a fish. There would be huge regrets. But he gets a chance for redemption. He gets spit out onto the shore, and God says, head to Nineveh. I’m heading to Nineveh. And off he goes, and he does what he’s told. How about the woman that had the issue of blood? For 12 years, it said, she suffered with this issue. She spent everything that she had, all the doctors, all the specialists, everybody, and she didn’t get any relief. Nothing changed over 12 years. Then she heard about Jesus coming through. She knew of his reputation. She had heard the story. She had heard about the healing. She had heard about all the different things. And she said, this is my moment. I’m not going to regret and allow that to go by without taking my healing, without taking a miracle. And she crept up behind him and touched the hem of his garment just to get a healing. How many of us today, that if Jesus came walking in through that door, came down through all these aisles and went out through that back door, would get out of our pew and ask him for a miracle? Or would we just sit there quietly, wave, nod, you know, just be a little starstruck, and then regret that we didn’t step up, that we didn’t shout out what we wanted, what we needed, what we were asking for. Sometimes it’s our own dignity that keeps us locked in place. Sometimes just looking a little bit foolish keeps us locked in place, fearful of speaking out in that business meeting, fearful of speaking out in that church meeting, fearful of saying something to our children or to our spouse or to a neighbour or to a friend. We just sit with regret and just let the moment go by. In Romans 8, 18 to 28, this is the big one. We’re going to read this one together. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it in hope that the creation itself would be liberated from the bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and the glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves who have the first fruits of the Spirit grown inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved, but the hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. So what’s Paul really saying here? It seems a whole lot, but really what he’s offering here is a message of hope. Paul is reassuring the believers that the present sufferings cannot compare to the eternal glory awaiting them. He explains that creation eagerly awaits this redemption. The Holy Spirit intercedes in our weakness, and God uses all circumstances for the of his people. That’s what Paul is saying here. Regrets come in all shapes and sizes, and the way to regret can be heavy, and it can be a real burden and a real struggle. The difficulty is getting our eyes off of our circumstances and viewing and looking at God’s perspective, because God can see through to the other side. It’s kind of like being in an aeroplane, an aeroplane over a highway, right? Imagine yourself in a car driving along the highway, and you’re trying to pass somebody on the highway, and you inch out a little bit, and another car comes the other way, and you zip back in again, right? And then you go a little bit further, and you go, okay, maybe I can try it again. You move out a little bit to see, and then, bam, another car comes down. And it’s like God is in a plane, and he can see the highway as long as it can possibly go, and he knows when we can pass. But we’re so focused on our circumstances that we can’t see his perspective. If we could tune into his perspective, he would say, okay, Alexander, it’s clear to pass. Go. And we could go. It’s the same in life. We get so focused on the circumstances, and we lose connection with God’s perspective. We think, well, I made that choice. I made that decision. I made my bed. I got to lay in it. There’s nothing God can do, nothing God will do. With that kind of attitude, you’re right. You’re right. If we focus on our circumstances and say, oh, it’s too big for God, you’re right. There’s nothing that can change. Nothing can happen. Nothing can ever change. You’re right. We could stay focused on that, and nothing would ever change. But if we will shift our perspective, anything is possible. How many believe that God is a God of the possible? Right? He is. He’s not the God of impossible. He’s the God of possible. We’re praying for a new leader in our church. It’s possible. We know that God is going to bring the right person at the right time, but it’s hard not to get stuck on the circumstances. I don’t see any clear candidates. I don’t see any clear thing, but when we change our perspective, it all shifts. If you take notes, I want you to write down these five words. If you don’t take notes, I want you to write down these five words. I want to encourage you. This is a side note. I want to encourage you to take notes. I’ve got a little black book, and no, it doesn’t have addresses and mean things about people. It’s a black book that I keep notes on, and I want to encourage you to have something, even if it’s a small little notepad that you can slip in your pocket. Women, you’ve got a guy’s beat. You’ve got purses. You can carry things in your purses. Just a little notepad. Back in the day, I used to write on anything and everything, especially when I was in the construction world. You could ask my wife. The collection of stuff that I had up in my office, I would have pieces of two by twelve, right? Just a chunk, two-foot piece of two by twelve, and with a marker, and I would mark down a note or a thought that I had. I would take it home with me. I would be scrambling around, couldn’t find anything. I’d rip open a paper bag and just pencil inside this thing. Cedar shims, anything I could get my hands on, too. You know, little children running by. Right, are you coming home with… No, I wouldn’t do that. But I would just write notes on everything, and I kept that collection for the longest time because I thought it was the funniest thing, and I thought, dummy, just get a little book. Carry a book with you. So that’s what I do, and I carry that with me, and I carry it until I fill it up. Then I put it on my shelf, and then I get another one, and I work on that one until I fill it up. So now I’ve got a collection of these little books that I just put little note things. And it’s a great time, you know, with laptops and iPads and all these different things. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t. This thing in between our ears is the greatest invention in the world. I mean, the capacity that we have in here is fantastic, but you can’t trust it all the time. Anyone notice that? How many have made a list, gone to the grocery store, forgot the list at home, tried to recall everything on the list? Did you forget at least one or two things on that list? Almost every time, right? We know that we can’t trust that thing, but if we write it down, we can trust that thing. So you can trust what you’ve written, but you can’t trust to remember everything. So I want to encourage you to write these things down. The first is regrets. Know that they’re going to happen. They’re going to happen. There’s going to be times where we don’t do the thing. As Paul says, you know, the very thing I want to do or don’t want to do, I do. The thing I know that I should do, the thing that I shouldn’t do is right there all the time. So we know that these things are going to happen. Regrets are going to happen regardless of how young we are, how old we are, how smart we are, how not so smart we are. See how politely I said that? But it’s going to happen. Here’s the thing about regrets. The second word that I want you to write down is repent. Just say, God, I blew it. I forgot to take that casserole. I forgot to bring the cereal again. I forgot to do this again. I forgot to put my tithe in. I forgot to pay that bill. I forgot to do this. I forgot to do that. I didn’t, you know, I didn’t train hard enough. I didn’t do anything. Just confess it. Say, God, I blew it. The next one is redemption. Trust is redeeming grace. Trust that he can use all things together for good. And trust that redemptive work that he’s doing. The fourth one is restoration. Know that he’s going to restore you. Know that as we confess those things, now we’ve gotten rid of the fear that it’s going to happen again. Now we can walk through it as Helen Keller says. And now we’ve, as we confess it, we can walk through in a different way. We’ve shifted our perspective off of circumstances onto God’s perspective. So trust in the restoration. And then the fifth and final one is rejoice. Just give thanks. Just be happy that you can and will get over those things. So that’s a simple formula to get over regret. Is that a good formula? Will you use that formula? I know we’re only human, and it’s going to happen. But here’s what I don’t want to happen, have happen. I don’t want us to be on our last breath, regretting all those regrets that have just piled up over the years, over time. Because the compound interest is not a good interest. It’s not something that you want to compound. Dealing with those things as you’ve done, maybe there’s some broken relationships that need to be restored in your life. Confess that now. Ask for God’s redemptive work. Allow that restoration to happen. Allow the rejoicing to happen while you’re still walking, living, and breathing. While there’s still breath in our lungs, we have the ability to change anything. As we confess it and give it over to God, shift our circumstances, shift out of the circumstances, and shift into his perspective. Does that make sense? So that’s what I want to encourage us with. I knew that today was going to be a challenging day because of the waft of barbecue coming in through the door. Anybody getting a whiff of that? I see that hand back there. Mr. I could eat six hamburgers. One of the things that’s challenging these days as a speaker, as a presenter, is the attention span is a little bit shorter. Attention span is a little bit shorter. Did I say that already? It is, but it’s just gotten shorter and shorter, hasn’t it? Those squirrel moments happen quicker, more frequent. Even for people that never suffered from squirrel syndrome, it happens. We get caught up in those moments, right? It’s just happened. But what you cannot compete with is a group of people that are salivating because they know a picnic is coming. They know a barbecue is coming, and then you get the aroma of that coming in through the building. That is unfair. That is unfair. So I’m going to finish so that we can get out and enjoy those burgers. Who wants to get out and enjoy a burger? All right. Now, while I got some hands moving, who’s going to begin to confess regrets? Not right now. This isn’t confession time, but I want to encourage you to look at those moments when those moments come up and say, okay, I know how to deal with that. All I got to do is confess it, and I can allow God’s work to begin in my life. That’s the start. That’s the beginning. And to begin to accelerate, or begin to propel, or begin to build momentum until everything that you do, God will begin to and continue to use it for good.

What if the greatest limitation in your life isn't your circumstances—but the identity you've spent years building and protecting? In this profound Dead Talk, Simone de Beauvoir and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj reveal why true freedom isn't found by becoming someone better, but by becoming free enough to stop insisting you are any one thing. Together they uncover the hidden second half of the Hero's Journey, where identity softens, participation replaces self-protection, and life becomes an unfolding expression of consciousness rather than a role to defend.

It seems that the readers of the Warm Thoughts column appreciate thoughts that may sometimes jog their minds. They also tell me they like essays and poetry. I really appreciate it when they share their thoughts. This column came from a very faithful reader of this column who apparently collects gems of thought. Thanks for sharing these thoughts.Let the words I speak today be soft and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them. Well done is better than well said. Ben Franklin. When someone does you wrong, don't do what comes naturally, do what comes supernaturally. Love God. Among the few things more expensive than an education these days is the lack of it. A real leader faces the music even when he doesn't like the tune. A good leader inspires men to have confidence in him, a great leader inspires them to have confidence in themselves. Our words may hide our thoughts, but our actions will reveal them. No person who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self respect. George Bernard Shaw. Education is not received, It is achieved. A friend will strengthen you with her prayers, bless you with her love, and encourage you with her hope. The roots of education are sometimes bitter, but the fruits are sweet. Education is not received. It is achieved. Do not let any kindness go unappreciated. Pray for a good harvest, but keep on hoeing. When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries, and you rejoice. An Indian proverb.Four things to learn in life: to think clearly without hurry or confusion, to love everybody sincerely, to act in everything with the highest motives, to trust God unhesitatingly. Helen Keller. To God, thy country, and thy friend be true. A child is the root of the heart. Give your troubles to God. He will be up all night anyway. A man who falls in love with himself has no rivals. One must never be in haste to end a day. There are too few of them in a lifetime. Have a great day and have many warm thoughts.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea Written by Dr. Luetta G Werner.

Iscriviti al periodo di prova ad un euro al mese su shopify.it Per il ciclo Focus Costanza, una settimana dedicata ai piccoli passi, alla costanza e alla capacità di ricominciare senza ripartire da zero. Una puntata sulla perseveranza, ispirata alla storia di Helen Keller, per ricordare che ogni piccolo passo conta quando scegliamo di non arrenderci.

This is the last week we'll have this podcast on this feed, please search 'Sunday Service with The Brands' wherever you get your podcasts and subscribe to the show there. Thank you Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sunday-service-with-the-brands/id1896803462 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/033m4Z79z2EuyRTjcbgmDx?si=bCJhLU8cTWm3bY2Q7d7D-A   In this Sunday Service The Brands contemplate and discuss The Righteous Gemstones, Romans 6-8 and our participation in God's Creation as family. We marvel at how Helen Keller saw the moonlit sky from a canoe and Russell's experience of insecurity in Brixton Prison and how a graceful deer shows us how to see from our heart.

What if one of the most foundational ideas in spirituality, manifestation, and conscious creation is incomplete? In this Dead Talk, Terence McKenna and Aleister Crowley explore the true nature of reality, synchronicity, consciousness, and human participation in the unfolding of life itself. Together, they challenge the popular notion that reality is merely reflecting your beliefs and introduce a far more expansive possibility—one that changes how we understand manifestation, guidance, meaning, and our relationship with the universe. This conversation moves beyond theory into something deeply practical: how to recognize the invitations hidden within ordinary experiences, why synchronicities matter, and what becomes possible when you stop trying to control reality and begin participating with it. If you've ever wondered whether life is trying to tell you something, this episode may completely change the way you see reality.

When I was sixteen years old, still in high school, I had three little lines in a film called The Sniper. I hardly remembered doing it, a soda fountain scene, a telephone booth, nothing remarkable, but that tiny job paid enough to earn my membership in the Screen Actors Guild. Only years later did it strike me that the film had been produced by Stanley Kramer. He helped launch my career without ever knowing my name. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Share a commentTrying to become more loving, patient, or self-controlled by sheer effort is exhausting, and it usually collapses before you even get out of the driveway. We take a hard look at why that happens by returning to a simple but freeing claim: it is the fruit of the Spirit, not the fruit of us. Using Romans 7, we talk about being joined to the risen Christ so our lives can bear “fruit for God,” the kind of spiritual fruit that comes from relationship, not pressure.We walk through three big categories of fruit God grows in believers: the Savior's character (righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ), sanctified conduct that makes holiness visible to the people around us, and the Spirit's control that replaces “fruit for death” with “fruit unto life.” Then we turn to Galatians 5 to contrast the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, and we underline a key detail: it is one fruit with many expressions, like a cluster of grapes, not separate traits we master one at a time.Along the way, we use two surprising stories to make it stick. “Mad as a hatter” becomes a picture of how long-term exposure produces long-term effects, and Helen Keller's bond with Anne Sullivan becomes a moving illustration of the closeness Jesus wants with us. If you want practical Christian spiritual growth, deeper sanctification, and a clearer understanding of abiding in Christ (John 15), press play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Sight and vision- Helen Keller said, "the only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision." Riding on a boat after the feeding of the four thousand, Jesus helped the disciples to realize their failure to understand and perceive the lessons He was aiming to teach them.

This week, Lex P and Drea Nicole are back solo and cutting up the entire episode. From debating celebrity ages and getting completely confused over Anne Frank, Helen Keller, and Martin Luther King Jr. to talking about hobbies as adults, bad cars on the highway, childhood talents, and why people need to mind their business about women not wanting kids — this episode goes everywhere in true Pour Minds fashion. The ladies also talk about learning to actually enjoy life outside of work, adult hobbies that help you unplug, reality TV addiction, taking yourself on walks, traveling, and how money and freedom completely change your quality of life. Lex admits gossip might actually be one of her hobbies, while Drea opens up about loving fitness, reading, and exploring Atlanta like a tourist in her own city. Later, the conversation turns into a hilarious “who’s older?” game featuring Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Adele, Chris Brown, Daniel Kaluuya, Kanye, Ludacris, and more — with plenty of wrong answers, zodiac sign logic, and chaotic commentary along the way. As always, it’s funny, random, relatable, and feels like hanging out with your homegirls with no filter at all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if faith isn't a four-letter word — but a five-letter superpower?In this episode, Laurel Donnellan and Darryl Brown sit down with interviewer Sarah Feely to explore Principle #2 of the Donnellan Method: Faith — and its corresponding practice: Connect to Inspiration. Whether you approach faith through a spiritual lens, a religious tradition, or simply a deep belief in something good and positive beyond yourself, this conversation meets you exactly where you are.Laurel reflects on the lives of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan — two women who, through extraordinary hardship and an unshakeable sense of calling, transformed the landscape of education and human possibility. Darryl shares his ongoing relationship with Father Joe Tetlow, a 95-year-old Jesuit priest and rock star in his community, whose embodiment of faith, discernment, and love has shaped Darryl's own understanding of discipline, freedom, and what it means to be "right-sized."Together, the three explore the role of solitude, discipline, and practice in building resilience — and why preventative healing matters long before a crisis arrives. You'll hear a beautiful conversation about the paradox of freedom and discipline, what it means to hold hope as both a noun and a verb, and why compassion is always an act, not just a feeling.This episode is part of a series that guides leaders through history, healing, and hope as they navigate change and growth. Come for the wisdom; stay for the warmth.You'll walk away with: A framework for identifying your personal "positive point of view" — and the practice that strengthens it A fresh understanding of why faith comes second in the 12-principle Donnellan Method Practical insight into building your margin — the resilient space between your load and your limit Inspiration from two leaders who have combined decades of recovery, executive leadership, and spiritual curiosity into a life of purposeful impact

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson reads a 60-year-old article written by Dr. Sid in August of 1966 — and every word sounds like it was written this morning. The profession in the hands of Pharisees. Leadership that waters down the principle to keep a seat at the table. Young chiropractors full of fire getting tapped on the head and told to sit down. History doesn't just repeat — it's on a loop. But Dr. Steve isn't reading this to complain. He's reading it because the answer is the same now as it was then. Stop seeking outside approval. Stop diluting the principle to be accepted. Stop arguing about who gets to sit at whose table. Come together — not around politics or programs or pocketbooks — but around the one thing that has always been true. Detect the subluxation. Correct it. Leave it alone. See you next week. Imagine if Dr. Sid and Reggie Gold had worked together. Imagine what the profession looks like when the splintered few finally unite. The house is burning. Helen Keller has her back to you. Get in front of them and make them feel it.

Russland greift die Ukraine an, China droht Taiwan, die USA wollen Grönland besetzen und Donald Trump droht mit der vollkommenen Auslöschung des Iran. Experten sind sich einig: Die Verstösse gegen das Völkerrecht mehren sich. Was bedeutet das für die regelbasierte Ordnung? Weltweit mehrten sich zuletzt Verstösse gegen das Völkerrecht. Das Recht des Stärkeren scheint sich gegen das Regelwerk der internationalen Gemeinschaft immer mehr durchzusetzen. Internationale Gerichte werden nicht von allen Staaten anerkannt, und der UN-Sicherheitsrat ist häufig blockiert, was eine wirksame Ahndung von Völkerrechtsbrüchen erschwert. Warum hat das Völkerrecht so wenig Handhabe, Gewalt zu verhindern? Erwarten wir zu viel vom Recht bzw, wird es derzeit sogar zu sehr ausgedehnt, wenn es nun auch zu menschenrechtsbasierten Klimaklagen kommt? Barbara Bleisch fragt nach bei Helen Keller, Professorin für Völkerrecht, Europarecht und öffentliches Recht an der Universität Zürich und während neun Jahren Richterin am Europäischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte in Strassburg.

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Those words were spoken by Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing before her second birthday. Jesus promises abundant life (an adventure) to those who follow Him. Today we notice three aspects of Jesus' call to His first followers.I. Their Character (vv. 16, 19)II. Their Calling (vv. 17, 20)III.

If you came for structure, coherence, or basic human decency—wrong podcast. In this unhinged episode of GLoP Culture, Rob Long, Jonah Goldberg, and John Podhoretz wander from a cornhole champion murder story to Helen Keller trutherism, pausing only to take gratuitous swings at Gandhi, Princess Diana, and basically anyone history has been too polite to re-examine. Along the way: deeply suspect jokes, aggressively niche cultural references, unsolicited architecture criticism, and a surprising amount of time spent litigating the moral failures of long-dead public figures. There is no thesis. There is no arc. There is only digression.

1922's "In a Grove," a short story by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, is a study into the nature of truth. It centers around the death of a samurai, with four different accounts of how he came to meet his demise being presented. Akira Kurosawa, without whom there would be no "Star Wars," adapted the short story into his 1950 film "Rashomon." This episode is neither of those things, but we do get into Helen Keller, Christmas, the Tooth Fairy, and what it is exactly that makes something a lie. Give it a listen, it's a good one. #rashomon #truth #lies #christmas #toothfairy #trading #rabbithole

Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan were one of the most amazing non-magical duos in history. Imagine living trapped in your own mind – unable to see or hear – and then imagine learning to read, traveling the world, and becoming an ambassador of peace. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
