Feeling of happiness

PINCHUSThe saying goes “Life is what happens to us while we're busy making other plans.”Reality presents us with challenging situations that tear us between the life we want and the life we receive.We find ourselves in a dispute with Divine Providence over what could have been different.However, life becomes joyful when we manage to ride the wave and accept what is happening— when we let go of what we wanted and go with what we've been given.The secret to happiness lies in the ability to understand that the main decisions are made by destiny.They are determined in a way that is beyond human understanding, and therefore it is impossible to judge life using our own sense of logic or reason.To understand this deeply, we want to explore an important question: Why was the division of the land of Israel done by lottery?After all, the decision was backed by the Urim and Thummim—wasn't that enough?Especially since a lottery often suggests weakness or a lack of ability to decide. Lotteries are used in democratic systems where every vote counts, and no single authority can arbitrarily decide.But a king, who is the sole voice, does not hold lotteries or consultations—he gives commands.So where is the honor of the Holy One, Blessed be He, who seemingly needed to convince through a lottery?
I'm currently traveling and never have I identified more with the Charles Dickens line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” The lows are low (no clean clothes for 48 hours! Diverted plane! An unexpected six-hour bus ride!) but the highs are also high. More in this week's post. (Oh and the rainbow in question is the picture with this post.)

This week was pretty special for me; I had the absolute joy and delight of attending my son's graduation ceremony. Watching him receive his BA honours in computer games development was not just a proud parent moment, but a celebration of dedication and achievement. You could feel the excitement and emotions in the air, alongside the bittersweet farewells, as all these budding talents prepare to embrace new beginnings. This episode delves deeply into the theme of choice and how it shapes our lives at every turn. Just like my son, who's stepping into the unpredictable yet thrilling world of the games industry—where networking and perseverance are key—we all reach points where the path ahead requires us to make choices. Whether transitioning from university or facing midlife changes, the necessity of deciding our own directions becomes crucial. I've been there too, shifting from marketing into something completely different during COVID, embracing new choices that align more with my passions. It got me pondering, how often do we consciously make choices about our current place in life? Are we in jobs, relationships, or routines by choice, or by lack of choosing? It's interesting because not choosing is also a choice, isn't it? We explore this idea in today's podcast. We consider what success means and how to become intentional with our choices. Choices can be daunting, right? Even selecting from a menu at a restaurant can be a struggle, let alone making life-altering decisions! However, with a little introspection and the right tools, we can navigate more effectively and align our choices with our true desires. Join me as we discuss making choices, big and small, and ponder where those choices might lead us. And hey, remember, the key to any great journey is movement—whether you choose to choose, or choose not to choose, the power is in your hands.

In this lecture, Jenny explores the profound significance of community in spiritual transformation. She begins by framing her discussion around two key scriptures—Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 and Romans 12:9-21—emphasizing the importance of connection and support among individuals. Through these verses, she highlights that partnership not only brings strength during hardships but also cultivates warmth and protection against life's adversities. Jenny introduces the summer series, which will delve into the practices of community and serving, aiming to foster spiritual growth and transformation.Building on the foundational imagery of spiritual formation, she explains a cyclical process that includes formation, malformation, and counterformation—illustrating how to overcome the influences that can derail one's spiritual journey. Through a call to engage in prayer, she encourages attendees to surrender their burdens, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of community's role in healing and transformation.The narrative takes an empathetic turn as Jenny recounts the experience of a young boy named Sam. She parallels his journey through middle school, highlighting both the excitement and trepidation he feels on his first day, ultimately culminating in the profound loneliness he experiences during a gym class, where he is picked last for a soccer team. This poignant storytelling resonates with the lecture's overarching theme—that everyone shares an innate desire to belong and be known, reinforcing the idea that humans are created for community. By contrasting Sam's isolation with the biblical depiction of community, Jenny asserts that societal connections are critical for emotional and spiritual well-being.Jenny revisits the essence of community as articulated in scripture, mentioning how God's intention for mankind is rooted in the collaborative nature of the Trinity. She quotes John Donne to stress that “no man is an island,” reinforcing that isolation does not allow for true flourishing. Furthermore, she takes reflections from experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring community's vital role in transcending isolation. Distressingly, Jenny notes that despite advancements in technology and social media, loneliness remains an epidemic. She weaves in stories of communities rallying together for mutual support during difficult times, emphasizing the power of collective effort and encouragement.The lecture further delves into the complexities of human interactions and the roots of distrust that can form barriers to community engagement. Jenny discusses how personal traumas can lead to isolation and a defensive posture against forming new connections. By sharing Sam's journey through math class following his humiliating experience, she illustrates how past events shape our willingness to engage with others.Transitioning into practical applications, Jenny proposes that spiritual practices can help combat the tendencies towards isolation. She emphasizes the necessity of trust in God and the need to embrace vulnerability within community settings. Providing insight from personal experiences, she reflects on the transformative journey of forming deep relationships within small groups, demonstrating how these settings allow individuals to support each other during life's peaks and valleys.She also revisits Paul's epistle to the Romans, extracting principles for cultivating a healthy community—from sincere love and honor to the shared burdens of community life. Highlighting that love acts on behalf of others, Jenny urges the audience to foster genuine connections by actively reaching out and believing the best about those around them.As she draws her discussion to a close, Jenny reiterates the call for participants to take actionable steps towards deeper community engagement. By creating spaces for vulnerability and support, individuals can build a robust and loving environment reflective of Jesus's command to love one another. She encourages attendees to actively participate in fostering community, reinforcing that such actions can lead to transformative experiences not only for individuals but for entire families and communities.In her concluding prayer, Jenny encapsulates the essence of her message by affirming the gift of community, acknowledging its challenges, and inviting everyone to embark on a journey toward genuine love and togetherness in their spiritual walk.

Andrew Copson speaks to Labour MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Humanist Group, Lizzi Collinge, about the practical application of humanist principles within the often-turbulent world of politics. It's a glimpse into the unique challenges and 'profound' rewards of being a humanist voice in Westminster, and how MPs can work within the system to create collective and meaningful change. This podcast was recorded on 11 June 2025. What I Believe was the title of two separate essays by the philosopher Bertrand Russell and the philosopher EM Forster in the early 20th century. These two humanists set out their approach to life, their fundamental worldview, in a way that was accessible to all. In this podcast, Chief Executive of Humanists UK, Andrew Copson, speaks to humanists today to understand more about what they believe, to understand more about the values, convictions, and opinions they live by. Humanists UK is the national charity working on behalf of non religious people to advance free thinking and promote a tolerant society.

Study 27-Luke 22:1-46 Joys and Sorrows In this chapter Jesus is a source of great strength and joy to his disciples as they gather to eat the Passover together. At the same time betrayal, misunderstanding and desertion surround him. Read Luke 22:1–6. Question 1: If ‘Satan entered Judas’ how responsible was Judas for what he did? When is it permissible for us to say ‘Satan entered somebody? To answer the second part of the question first:it is very doubtful whether we should ever say this. Judas was fully responsible as he eventually recognised; Matt 27:3, 4 says ‘When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. I have sinned, he said, for I have betrayed innocent blood. What is that to us? They replied. That's your responsibility. There is an interesting and important parallel in Isaiah 10 where we read:“Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my (the Lord’s) anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath! I send him against a godless nation (that is Israel), I dispatch him against a people who anger me, to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets.” But this is not what he (Assyria) intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations. When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, I will punish the king of Assyria for the wilful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes. For he says:'By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.’ So we see in that passage it is true both that the Lord in his sovereign power used Assyria to punish Israel and the Assyrians were completely responsible for what they did. Here Judas was completely responsible for what he did even if in so doing he fulfilled the greater purposes of the Lord. That may not agree with our logic but that kind of both God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility at the same time is the common teaching of the word of God. As with the arrangements for the triumphal entry it seems likely that Jesus had pre-arranged the hire or loan of the room. We read Luke 22:7–23. Question 2: Luke is not interested in the detailed arrangements for the meal, which must have included things like the sacrifice of a lamb in the temple. What is he interested in? Can you think of any reason for that? He is only interested in the human aspects of the story, the depth of fellowship it showed and the inauguration of the Lord’s Supper. He draws attention to the way this celebration was repeated in the very early church in his account in Acts. He expected the church to follow the main points of what Jesus did down through the centuries. Question 3: What is the intended symbolism of the bread and the cup? What are the intended symbolisms in the way the elements must have been handled? How many of these symbolisms are lost the way your fellowship do it? Bread was the common essential of life in those days. It was nothing special that Jesus used. The loaf had to be forcibly broken, as was the body of Jesus to be. The cup was poured out but none was spilt as the blood of Jesus was. It represented blood and therefore (life-giving) death. In addition this was a Passover meal so it also carried the symbolisms of Exodus 12, particularly perhaps the redemption under the covering blood and the sense of a meal to be eaten in haste, prepared to go on a great journey of faith. It is up to you to think through how that relates to what your fellowship do when they celebrate this meal. Question 4: Sadly the communion service/breaking of bread/eucharist/ mass has become the chief symbol of division in Christendom when it should have been the great symbol of unity. Why do you think this has happened? Unfortunately men have sort power by claiming they, by reason of some office they hold, and they alone, have the right to dispense the elements and control the procedure. Very sad. There is surely no justification for any church or group of churches preventing Christians who are not of their fellowship from participating at the Lord’s Table. Jesus called it the feast of the ‘new covenant’. Gen 17:3–8 is the original covenant with Abraham. Deut 5:1–4 records the covenant with Moses and the Israelites at Siana. Jer 31:31–34 promises a new covenant which this is. Many churches never really talk about covenants, new or old. They lose by not doing so. Read Luke 22:24–38. The dispute of v24 must have filled Jesus with dismay as it contradicted all that he had tried so hard to teach his disciples. Question 5: In what ways are we most likely to contradict all that the communion service is meant to achieve in us even before we leave it? What should we learn from the words of Jesus responding to that dispute (v25–30)? The tendency of men and women to want to feel superior to other people is always present where people gather together. Jesus reiterates his teaching that we are not to seek that superiority for ourselves remembering that such things will be reversed in the Kingdom anyway. Question 6: The instruction to buy a sword (v 36) is very strange. There is no evidence that the early church ever did this. Should they have? How can we understand these verses? Read Luke 22:39–46. Luke’s account of Jesus praying on the Mount of Olives (v 39–46) is considerably shorter than Matthew’s (26:36–46) and Mark’s (14:32–42) accounts. What does Doctor Luke tell us to emphasise the importance of the event? What can we learn about prayer from this account? And so the scene is set for the final hours of Jesus and the beginning of new possibilities in human life. That will be in our next study.

An estimated 100 million people in the United States have some sort of “step” relationship. This could be a stepchild, a stepparent, or even a stepsibling. These relationships are often part of what's known as a “blended” family, where individuals come together from previous relationships to form a new, unique family unit.Blended families face many challenges and difficulties that other families don't necessarily have to navigate. They have to build new relationships within the parent-child and sibling dynamics that have already been established. It can feel awkward at times, and kids may even struggle with feeling like their stepparent is trying to replace or force a bond.While we don't have personal experience on this topic, our guests do—and they are here to share their wisdom with us. Paul and Jeannette Savage are a Colorado-based couple with a blended family of five adult children and five grandchildren. Together, they authored Blended: Navigating the Challenges and Joys of a Stepfamily.In this episode, you'll hear:Common challenges blended families faceThe importance of avoiding defensivenessHow to preserve the original parent-child bondAnd more!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/paul-jeannette-savage-252Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

EP231: Jessica Bentson's journey into toymaking began with a heartfelt desire to provide her children with natural playthings she couldn't afford to buy. That spark of inspiration has grown into Toymaking Magic, her membership that helps parents create beautiful handmade toys regardless of their crafting experience. In this conversation, Jean and Jessica talk about the value of handmade toys and open-ended play. Jessica shares why simple projects like beanbags make the perfect starting point for beginners while offering tremendous play value for children from toddlerhood through the elementary years. "Making beanbags is so satisfying," she explains. "My kids loved them so much and played with them the most out of everything I've ever made." These open-ended toys inspire children to invent games, build structures, and incorporate them into imaginative play scenarios for years. For parents who feel intimidated by handwork, Jessica's step-by-step video tutorials show every detail of the process, making projects accessible even to complete beginners. Whether you're curious about needle felting, sewing, knitting, or woodwork, Toy Making Magic offers a treasure trove of Waldorf-inspired crafts that enhance both your homeschooling journey and your children's development.

Our teacher today is Will Thorndike, co-founder of Compounding Labs and author of the acclaimed book, “The Outsiders.” In our opinion, Will has emerged as one of the most influential and innovative investor minds of the past few decades. And if you care about long-term value creation and the art of capital allocation, chances are you've also benefited from some of his ideas. In 1994, he founded Housatonic Partners, a pioneering private equity firm known for its unusually long holding periods and its leadership in the search fund space alongside his mentor and Stanford professor Irv Grousbeck. Will helped to originate the modern search fund model, backing early career CEOs to buy and grow businesses with long-term horizons and radically aligned incentives. Since then, he has invested in the majority of the top 20 search fund outcomes to date, including Asurion, which he recently profiled on his podcast 50X. We explore Will's full arc from the research that led to “The Outsiders” to his decades as an investor to the new frontier he's now helping to shape. We talk about what makes a business truly enduring, why great leadership and resource allocation remain so misunderstood, and how the right people, structure, and alignment enable companies to compound over time. Please enjoy this class with Will Thorndike.

Shattered to Mosaic: All the While Trusting God and walking with Jesus by Cynthia Kaitfors-Smith Amazon.com Newlifeinjoy.com I found after leaning on the Lord through grief and loss there truly is JOY after the storm. There is so much in life to celebrate through the word of God, the Joys and the Rainbows of our lives. I am a Christian gal, with the gift to gab, wonderful imagination, and a creative spirit. I would daydream my way through the school day. I was born and raised in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, I earned my BA in Psychology and MS in Marriage Family Therapy and a credential in School Counseling. Through my education, strong faith, trust in God, I healed from betrayal and divorce. As I grew in my personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I realized the importance of being more than a luke-warm Christian.
