Struggling to let go of a failed relationship.Based on a post by dark overlord 6, in 4 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.The rest of the day, he spent thankfully inside; taking in and fulfilling requests for everything from paperweights to desk calendars. It was a surprisingly exhausting first day, and he fell asleep in the car on the way home. His dad shook him awake when they arrived, and he walked into the house in a daze, barely mustering the energy to eat dinner before he headed to his bedroom and collapsed on top of the covers. He was half dozing, even though it was scarcely 8:00 pm, when his phone rang."Yeah;" he grumbled into the receiver."David? You sound terrible, are you sick?"David sat up in bed, wiping at his eyes, heart racing at the sound of Heather's voice on the other side of the call, " No; Just tired. My dad got me a summer job at High Rock.""I heard. Chris told me. I guess that must be hard work.""You got that right," he replied, trying to put some life in his voice. He wondered if she was calling to tell him the thing with Alex had been a colossal mistake, and beg him to take her back. Of course, he would be kind about it after a suitable period of groveling, but it turned out that wasn't why she had called."David; I wanted to apologize for how things went down at the graduation party. I meant to tell you beforehand, but it was harder than I thought.""I can't imagine why? We were only together three years," replied David, not able to keep the anger out of his tone."Don't be this way, David. I was hoping we could still be friends.""Friends." David echoed her words in deadpan resolve.David had let the word roll around in his mouth, finding it tasted particularly bitter."Yeah; I'm working at Farley's Ice Cream in the mall, this summer. If you want to come by some time, I might be able to sneak you a free chocolate chip cone." she added, mentioning his favorite ice cream flavor."You trying to bribe me into being your buddy?"Heather grew quiet on the other end, before saying; "I can see you're not ready to be mature about this, so I'll let you go. I hope you can forgive me someday. I do want to be friends.""Doe's Alex want to be my friend too?" David inquired in mock sincerity."He's not as bad as you make him out. Maybe we could all hang out at Wave World sometime? Alex could get us in, free.""Alex is working at Wave World?" asked David, knowing employees could get two friends in free, on off days."Yeah; He's the head lifeguard at the wave pool."David felt a pang of jealous anger well up inside him. He had been the head lifeguard at the wave pool the last two summers. Alex had not only taken his girl but his cushy summer job, as well."Son of a bitch! I can tell you it will be a cold day in Hell before I take charity from Alex fucking Romero!""I'm going to let you go, David. Maybe we can talk later;"Heather broke the connection before he could say anything else, and as soon as her voice vanished, he felt instantly guilty for his outburst.David dropped the phone onto the bed."Just perfect;" he thought, wondering how this summer could get any worse.First Lesson.The following morning was even harder than the previous, and David wondered how anyone got used to waking up this early. He barely managed to make it into the car on time, and his dad gave him a dirty look as they pulled away. A lecture might have followed, something about accepting responsibility, but David was asleep before they hit the first stop sign at the end of the street. His dad roused him from his slumber when they got to the plant gate and dropped him off a short time later.Thankfully, Thomas had a pot of coffee going, and David managed to pull himself together enough to begin his day. The morning was filled with supply requests as well as the thrill of getting to inventory the facilities closet; where he got to take an accounting of every mop, broom, and box of toilet paper."Double check those boxes," threw in Roxy, "the vendor loves to short us a couple of rolls, and we don't need people wiping their asses on the furniture." Roxy had a strategic mastery of crude corollaries to counteract the visual reality that her smoking-hot body was too appealing for the male population to resist flirting with. She ‘cracked the whip' verbally, to keep the men focused on the tasks, not the tits."Right, Boss," said David, thinking this day couldn't end soon enough.Though he had discovered the first day, his cellphone service was mostly non-existent, he had determined he could sometimes get a signal if he went up to the second-floor break room and stood right next to the window. When he had an opportunity later that morning, he went straight there and tried to dial Heather hoping to apologize for the way their last conversation had turned out."Heather? Can you hear me!" he called into the phone.The connection was terrible and kept cutting in and out."David; David, is that you? I can barely hear you," came her distant voice."I just called to say I'm sorry.""What? You're breaking up really; bad.""Heather? I said, I'm sorry! Heather; Jesus," moaned David shaking his phone in frustration."I'm sorry! I still love you, and I'm sorry!" he said louder, leaning closer to the window.There was nothing but static now, and a second later the call dropped entirely. David was looking down at his phone, angry and sad when a shadow fell over him."You were supposed to be back from break five-minutes ago," said Roxy standing with her arms crossed."What? Oh; Sorry.""You say that a lot. It makes me wonder if you really mean it," observed Roxy.David's eyebrows knit together in confusion, not sure if Roxy meant ‘in this particular instance,' or had she been listening to his conversation."Look, I just needed to make a call," he added."I heard. You want to suck up to some piece of ass; do it on your own time, not the companies.""Heather is not a piece of ass," retorted David."Oh; Heather; So the piece of ass has a name? How wonderful; I'm sure you two can kiss and make up when you're not working.""I doubt it. She left me for a guy I hate.""Really? I would love to hear all about it, but if I wanted a teen soap opera, I would have stayed home and watched Nickelodeon, with my kid.""Wow; you could have a little compassion;" mumbled David under his breath as he tried to brush past his boss."Compassion? See how much of that you have when your husband comes home drunk for the umpteenth time, after losing his job; again! You know what; just get back to work!" yelled Roxy.David froze in place suddenly feeling ashamed at his outburst."Roxy; I didn't know about; I mean I know that must be;""Save it. Just get downstairs! We got a field inventory to do in the lay down yard."Roxy turned on her heel and marched out, leaving David red-faced behind.David had no idea what a "lay down" yard was. But he quickly got acquainted with the concept when he found himself facing row upon row of steel desks, stack three high on pallets, and covered with tarps. The massive collection seemed to stretch on for hundreds of yards and would have been impressive if he hadn't been sweating bullets in the burning desert heat."What is it we're doing out here again?" panted David."We have to check the serial numbers on all this crap before it gets removed from company inventory. This is all old shit that will be donated to charity.""Isn't that nice," said David wearily.He stood behind Roxy along with Thomas, and a pair of blue-hatted laborers who were there to help."Go around and untie the tarps on each pallet and check the serial numbers on the desks against what's on your clipboard," instructed Roxy.Not wanting to give her an excuse to get angry with him again, David wiped a good bit of sweat from his brow and moved off to the closest pile. He spent the next hour working his way along in the sweltering heat, thinking no amount of money was worth this misery. The second pallet he came to was a real struggle to uncover with the ropes that held the tarp in place dried from the sun, making undoing the knots a pain. When he flipped back the tarp to expose the first desk, a shadow darted from underneath, and David found himself face to face with the biggest spider he had ever seen.The hairy tarantula reared on its back legs waving its front ones in defiance, and David did what came naturally to a young man with an unnatural fear of spiders.The scream that followed brought everyone else running, and they discovered David crouched on top of the desk looking down at the pissed off arachnid."You're kidding me, right?" asked Roxy looking at her trembling employee."It came out of nowhere;" said David, his wide eyes not leaving the giant creature."You realize you outweigh that tarantula by more than a hundred and eighty pounds?" observed Roxy."It doesn't look intimidated to me," whispered David."She was probably nesting under there. If a giant were crouching on top of my babies, I'd be pissed too.""What do I do?" he said his tone laced with fear.Roxy's expression softened as she realized he was genuinely petrified, and she took a step toward him, drawing his gaze. Her daughter was afraid of spiders, and she was all too familiar with the look of terror on David's face."David; It's okay. I want you to get up and jump to me. It's going to be fine; "He nodded and slowly stood on the desk, his body shaking. It took him three tries, but at last, his feet left the desktop and he leapt over the spider to land on his feet, within in Roxy's arms. She held him, and for a brief instant, he felt her soft hands on his arms."You okay, Tiger?" she said, looking worriedly into his eyes."I'm; I'm fine; " he managed to croak out."Watch out, David! She's coming after you!" called Thomas, making David jump backward and stumble. The group of men burst out laughing, drawing an angry frown from Roxy."Knock it off, idiots! Get back to the inventory!"She guided David to the next row. "I'll take this pallet. You move onto to the next one okay?""Thanks," he said, blushing in embarrassment, "I'm sorry. I have a thing about spiders.""It's alright, David. Everyone is afraid of something," said Roxy patting him on the shoulder.He shook himself and walked off, taking one last look at the tarantula, which had calmed down now that he was moving away.The rest of the day went by without incident, and David was grateful when the final whistle blew, and he could go home and get the sweat cleaned off of himself. Much like the previous night, he fell asleep almost before his head hit the pillow, only to be pulled from his bed seemingly no time later by his dad who signaled to him that another morning was already upon him.Roxy took pity on him after the incident from the previous day, and left him to cover the supply window while she and Thomas went to finish the inventory in the lay down yard. It was a slow day, with just a handful of people coming by; and it seemed like forever before lunch arrived. David retrieved his lunch pail from the employee's locker room and walked over to the cafeteria to find a cool place to eat. As soon as he opened the lid, a big, shadowy looking thing dropped from the top. David leapt backward so quickly he caught his legs under the table, and he fell sprawling half under it as everyone around him broke into laughter."What's a matter? Did the big bad spider try to get you?" laughed one of the same men who had been on the inventory crew the day before, as he lifted the rubber spider from the table."Very funny;" groused David as he got back to his feet.The laughter continued as the massed group watched David jump back when the laborer waved the fake spider in his face. Ashamed of his fear, David grabbed his lunch pail and ran out of the building, where he stood almost hyperventilating on the walkway outside.He was bent over, trying to catch his breath when a truck pulled up right in front of him."You okay?" called Roxy from the cab.David straightened and walked over. "I'm fine.""Thomas tipped me off that the guys were going to pull a prank, so I thought I should drive over and check on you.""It's Okay" David said in his pathetic effort at denial of reality."You don't look okay. You look white as a sheet.""Seriously, I'm fine. Thanks for checking, but I'm just going to go eat in my office where it's safer.""Get in. I have a better idea."David got his lunch pail before piling into the passenger side of the truck."Where are we going?" he asked."Relax. I promise there won't be any spiders," she said.Roxy drove them halfway around the plant and out the rear gate which was usually used for freight deliveries. She followed a dirt road that ran off into the desert before turning off at a fo

The enemy can make anything demonic look divine! Aligning yourself with unfruitful relationships will cause strongholds in your life. Ungodly connections cause delay and can taint your anointing, ministry, and business. EKKK! During this time of testing... God clearly spoke to me for direction, as a huge mac truck pulled out slowly in front of me. You won't believe what it said! Our alignment with Him is utterly important, not only for you, but the direction of your life. Will you listen?

Dr. Lindsey Berkson discusses how the power of food is not just in our food choices, but in how much we eat. This podcast is on the power of "less food." Dr. Berkson shares how "caloric restriction" helps us live younger longer and may now be used to treat some illnesses, such as reverse some cases of type-2 diabetes. It's long been repeatedly observed in pockets of humanity where people live longer and healthier, that eating less is one way to slow down the Mac Truck of Aging. But how? Brigham Young University researchers, in a mouse model, suggest it comes down to our "ribosomes." Ribosomes make proteins. They work 24/7 to do this. Since they work so hard, malfunctions can and do occur. Caloric restriction allows ribosomes to have extra time to repair. More repair and cellular "reboot" slow down the aging process and creates healthier cellular processes. So how do we give ribosomes more time to repair? By eating less. Restriction of calories creates an almost linear increase in lifespan as well as a healthier lifespan. It turns out that constantly eating three meals a day along with snacks, is not the best template to take in nutrition. Ribosomes like "time-out." Calorically restricted mice, compared to mice who were allowed to eat all they wanted, were more energetic and suffered with fewer diseases, as well as lived longer. Food is not just a substance to be burned. It signals our bodies how to respond and how life might unfold. Eating less food at various times, called "intermittent fasting" allows our bodies to rest, repair and reset our internal cellular systems. Dietary changes of less food and less sugars and carbohydrates, have been shown to reverse both pre-diabetes and overt diabetes, even in patients with long term serious illnesses. The Department of Medicine at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center and the Department of Preventive Medicine at the The University of Tennessee Health Science Center used eating less carbs and more protein to reverse pre-diabetes in males and females. We are also now seeing caloric restriction reverse type-2 diabetes. Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist from Canada, has been reversing type-2 diabetes (not type-1). This is not new. Diabetologists were using caloric restriction to treat type-2 diabetes 100 years ago. Dr. Fung has been using variations on a theme of caloric restriction to reverse insulin resistance, normalize blood sugar, and get type-2 diabetics off many meds and live healthier and leaner lives. Type-2 diabetes has been repeatedly shown to be reversed by three ways: bariatric surgery, fasting and with keto-genic diets. What do they all have in common? Caloric restriction. Eating less calories and eating less sugars. These dietary changes rapidly move unhealthy fat out of the liver and pancreas. This often occurs within one to four weeks, long before huge amounts of weight have been lost. When fatty liver and pancreas begin to reverse, insulin resistance improves (IR). IR, says Dr. Fung, is the true cause of type-2 diabetes, not high blood sugars. Thus, one of the main goals in treating and possibly reversing type-2 diabetes is healing IR. Traditional diabetic care aims at lowering blood glucose. This is treating the symptom, not the root cause. Well performed studies have shown that tighter control of blood sugar in type-2 diabetics does not improve the health of these people and often increases all cause-mortality. At sensible times, eating less turns out to be part of eating wiser.
