Episode Summary: If you’ve ever struggled with discouragement, and we all have because life is full of disappointment and disillusionment, then this episode is for you. In honor of National Day of Encouragement, my co-host, Rev. Jessica Van Roekel and I talk about How to Find Biblical Encouragement for Your Everyday Life. Discouragement can rob us of joy, peace, and a sense of purpose. Encouragement is more than a feeling - it’s a powerful tool to propel us toward hope and confidence even when life feels less than happy. Today we’re going to talk about how to find biblical encouragement for your everyday life. Quotables from the episode: In 2007, a group of young people at the National Leadership Forum at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas saw a lack of encouragement as one of the main obstacles that people face. While dedicating a day to encourage others is noble, we can experience encouragement every day when we turn to the Lord and receive his encouragement. The challenge to receive biblical encouragement is when we know God’s promises but don’t see him working. This topic is close to my heart because I’ve seen firsthand how knowing God, and his promises have encouraged me in the face of difficult and seemingly unchanging circumstances. I know many of our listeners and viewers struggle with discouragement, and my prayer is that today’s conversation will bring encouragement and hope. Knowing God’s names helps us learn to trust him. When we trust him, it’s easier to experience encouragement in our every day. Psalm 9:10 says, Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Relationships are an area where we can experience extreme discouragement. Personality differences can create division. Unforgiveness leads to rifts. It can feel discouraging to desire a healing in a relationship, but every effort is rejected. We’ve talked about the temptation to judge God’s goodness based on humanity’s failures. If our in-person relationships are broken, and we don’t have a vibrant or growing relationship with God, we grow discouraged because we were made for relationship. Friend, if you’ve found yourself in a place of discouragement—especially when you're facing relationship struggles—you are not alone. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve seen how deeply our relationships impact not only our emotional well-being but also our brain health. God designed our brains for connection. We were created in His image, a God who is relational by nature, and He wired us for fellowship—with Him and with each other. When our relationships are strained, whether due to misunderstanding, unmet expectations, betrayal, or emotional distance, our brains register it as a threat. That triggers our stress response—what we often call “fight, flight, or freeze.” Over time, if that stress continues unchecked, it leads to anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and a foggy, overwhelmed mind. Our thought life becomes a battlefield, and discouragement sets in. But here's the hope: God doesn’t leave us to navigate this alone. He sees every tear, hears every unspoken word, and knows the condition of our hearts and minds. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Our healing begins when we bring both our brain health and our relational wounds to the Great Physician. Practical steps include tending to your thought life—taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), practicing forgiveness to unburden your heart, and choosing truth over lies. Sometimes that means setting healthy boundaries or seeking wise counsel. And always, it means leaning into the One who offers peace that transcends understanding. Your brain can heal. Your heart can mend. And your relationships can be restored—if not with others, then certainly with the Lord, who is the source of all true comfort and strength. Discouragement may visit, but it doesn’t have to take up permanent residence. Knowing God as Abba leads us to know God as a wonderful Father. (Galatians 4:6) He is the Alpha and Omega – Jesus was in the beginning as the Word of God and he is God’s final word for all eternity. (Revelation 21:6) As Adonai, we recognize his leadership in our life. He is our Lord and Ruler. (Ezekiel 16:8) El Chay, or Living God, reminds us that the entertainments, enticements, and other distractions are not worthy of worship. (Psalm 84:2) El Roi, The God Who Sees, encourages us with God’s mercy, grace, and comfort. We are not invisible to him. (Genesis 16:13) Jehovah-Jireh, The Lord our Provider, tells us God is our provider, and it is the same Hebrew word as Moriah, the region where God sent Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. God may ask us to give something up, and he gives us himself in return, and becomes all we need. (Romans 8:32) Jehovah-Nissi, The Lord Our Banner, paints the picture that we live under God’s banner. It was the name revealed when Moses erected an altar to commemorate the defeat of their enemies. It encourages us that we live under God’s victory. He goes before us and comes behind us to make us victors in life’s battles. (Exodus 17:15) The Lord Our Healer, or Jehovah-Rapha, encourages us because God heals our hearts in the here and now. (Exodus 15:26) The Lord is Peace, Jehovah-Shalom, our security, sufficiency, and serenity. (Judges 6:24) Jehovah-Tsuri, the Lord our Rock, helps us remember God is permanent, faithful, protective, a firm foundation, a hiding place and shelter. (Psalm 18:2) Knowing the names of God gives us insight into his character, which encourages us when we face different situations where we need to rely on a different aspect of God’s character. For example, if someone feels discouraged because of life’s chaos, remembering God is Jehovah Shalom encourages their heart because God is their serenity. God is a covenant making and covenant keeping God. The primary promise of the covenant is the Lord’s promise to “be God to you and to your offspring after you.” The goal of God’s covenant with humankind is to bring salvation, not just to one nation, but to the entire human race. This covenant was eventually fulfilled through Jesus Christ as his followers began to spread the good news about him throughout the world. God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Israelite nation, David, and finally the whole world through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Covenants, or promises, are conditional because they are based on the agreements of two parties. God cannot go back on his promises, but we can refuse the comfort of the promises when we fail to take God at his word and allow doubt to lead us to sin. Because of God’s covenants, we have promises like the promise of his presence. Isaiah 41:10 says, “Do not be afraid for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (NLT) Deuteronomy 31:8, “‘Do not be afraid of discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (NLT) Isaiah 43:2, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Joshua 1:19, “This is my command – be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Those are wonderful reminders of God presence. I know I’ve needed to believe them by faith because sometimes what I see, and what I feel don’t match up with what I know to be true. I also cling to the promise of Victory found in: John 16:33, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Exodus 14:14, “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, “Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, persecutions, and troubles I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Isaiah 40:29, “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” God promises to guide us: Psalm 32:8, “The Lord says, I will guide along the best pathway for your life. I will advise and watch over you. Psalm 37:23-24, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 23:1-2, ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. Not only does God promise us his presence, victory, and guidance, but he also promises rest, life, peace, and forgiveness: Rest: Matthew 11:28-29, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Life: John 3:16, “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” Peace: Isaiah 26:3, ‘You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.” Forgiveness: 1 John 1:9, “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleans us from all wickedness.” Our faith grows when we plant our feet on God’s promises. (Psalm 34:18) He is close to the broken hearted and rescues those who are crushed in spirit. (2 Cor. 4:8-9) We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (Isaiah 54:17) “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. I think it starts with looking at the end of Hebrews 11, knowing the stories of those who have gone before us, remembering the past so we can encourage ourselves in the present and build hope for the future. Hebrews 11 opens with this verse: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. The next several verses list people who lived by faith and received what God promised and those who died without receiving things promised and yet, they are commended for having faith. It’s faith in the promise maker which matters. Looking at our circumstances for “proof” of God keeping his promises leads to disappointment. Remember, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Sometimes, we need to cling to other’s people’s stories when our stories are littered with doubt and disappointment. One story which encourages me when I am feeling discouraged is Mary, Martha and Lazarus when Lazarus became ill and died. That story reminds me that things are not always as they seem, but God always has a plan and he sees the end from the beginning. he bible is full of encouragement and doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties people of faith faced. If Job can lose his entire fortune, family and health and still remain faithful to God—believing him to faithful and true—then I can look beyond my circumstances and see that God is bigger than what’s right in front of me. I can take the magnifying glass off of the things in my life that discourage me and point my magnifying glass to the God who breathes stars and breath in my lungs. I am encouraged by Abraham, when he looked the impossibility of his reality (too old to have children) and yet remained believing that God would fulfill his promise. I’ve been in situations where I couldn’t see a way forward and following Abraham’s example encourages me so much. Knowing God intimately is a great first step toward experiencing biblical encouragement. Understanding his heart and loyalty toward us is key. Second, we can remember to look beyond what we see to what we know to be true. Sometimes feelings follow an act of faith. Take Hebrews 11 to heart.

September is historically a slow month for travel news in South East Asia. With the October Golden Week imminent, followed by the peak November-February tourism season, it's usually a period to reflect and prepare. Not this year. Political upheaval and economic instability in ASEAN's two largest economies, Indonesia and Thailand, are front-page news. Events in both nations have the potential to influence the end-of-year travel season, not least in Thailand where an enforced national election is likely. Meantime, Gary and Hannah assess Malaysia's latest positioning statement for its biggest ever 12-month national tourism campaign in 2026. Phnom Penh inaugurates Cambodia's much hyped new Techo Airport. And Vietnam's buoyant tourism economy enjoys a further boost during National Day. Plus, why are consumer trade shows an even bigger deal than normal in 2025 in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines? All this and more in our weekly travel and tourism news roundup.

Story Transcript:Ca: Les fulles grogues caien suaument a terra, anunciant la tardor sobre l'antic recinte modernista de Sant Pau.En: The yellow leaves fell gently to the ground, heralding the arrival of autumn over the old modernist complex of Sant Pau.Ca: Les façanes de colors s'alçaven majestuoses sota el cel blau de Barcelona.En: The colorful facades stood majestically under the blue sky of Barcelona.Ca: En aquest escenari, la Marta i el Pere caminaven pel passadís, els passos ressonant lleugerament contra el terra de rajoles antigues.En: In this setting, Marta and Pere walked through the corridor, their footsteps lightly echoing against the antique tiled floor.Ca: Marta s'havia despertat aquell matí amb una barreja de pena i esperançament.En: Marta had woken up that morning with a mix of sorrow and hope.Ca: Era la Diada Nacional de Catalunya, una data important per a la seva família i, especialment, per al seu avi Jordi.En: It was the National Day of Catalonia, an important date for her family and especially for her grandfather Jordi.Ca: Anaven a visitar-lo, sabent que potser els dies per compartir amb ell serien curts.En: They were going to visit him, knowing that perhaps the days to share with him would be short.Ca: Quan van entrar a la petita habitació, Marta va notar la llum tènue que es filtrava per la finestra.En: When they entered the small room, Marta noticed the dim light filtering through the window.Ca: El seu avi, patint els efectes de l'edat, estava assegut, mirant per la finestra, observant com el món seguia girant fora.En: Her grandfather, suffering from the effects of age, was seated, gazing out the window, watching the world continue to turn outside.Ca: La Marta va agafar la mà del seu avi amb tendresa, i li va dedicar un somriure trist.En: Marta took her grandfather's hand tenderly and gave him a sad smile.Ca: Pere, d'altra banda, ja inquiet, mirava cap a la porta, escoltant el llunyà soroll de les celebracions.En: Pere, on the other hand, already restless, looked toward the door, listening to the distant sound of the celebrations.Ca: El cor de Marta pateix amb la idea de deixar al seu avi, però sap que cada moment compta.En: Marta's heart ached at the thought of leaving her grandfather, but she knew that every moment counted.Ca: "Volem celebrar la Diada amb ell," diu Pere, amb ulls brillants, tirant lleument de la mà de la seva germana.En: "We want to celebrate the Diada with him," Pere said, eyes bright, gently pulling his sister's hand.Ca: La Marta sent el pes de la responsabilitat i el desig de quedar-se.En: Marta felt the weight of responsibility and the desire to stay.Ca: Llavors, el seu avi Jordi, com si els hagués escoltat, li va retornar el somriure, amb una lluïssor als ulls que feien ombra a les arrugues del seu rostre.En: Then, her grandfather Jordi, as if he had heard them, returned the smile, with a sparkle in his eyes that overshadowed the wrinkles on his face.Ca: "És un dia per celebrar, no ho oblideu," diu amb veu feble però clara, deixant una empremta al cor de la Marta.En: "It's a day to celebrate, don't forget it," he said in a weak but clear voice, leaving an imprint on Marta's heart.Ca: Amb aquest moment compartit, Marta comprèn que a vegades les paraules no són necessàries.En: With this shared moment, Marta realized that sometimes words are not necessary.Ca: L'amor i la comprensió es poden trobar en petits gestos, somriures i silencis.En: Love and understanding can be found in small gestures, smiles, and silences.Ca: Mirant a Pere, ella assentí i, després d'una última carícia al braç del seu avi, va decidir portar el seu germà a veure les celebracions.En: Looking at Pere, she nodded and, after a final caress on her grandfather's arm, decided to take her brother to see the celebrations.Ca: Sortint de l'habitació, les rialles i la música catalanes els acollien.En: As they left the room, the laughter and Catalan music welcomed them.Ca: Marta es va sentir bé, sabent que el seu avi també podia escoltar, al seu propi ritme, la vida vibrant que continuava al seu voltant, al seu món que estimava profundament.En: Marta felt at peace, knowing that her grandfather could also listen, at his own pace, to the vibrant life that continued around him, in his world that he deeply loved.Ca: Mentre els colors brillants de les banderes catalanes omplien els carrers, Marta va començar a sentir una tranquil·litat interna.En: As the bright colors of the Catalan flags filled the streets, Marta began to feel an inner calm.Ca: Hi havia tristesa, sí, però també un profund agraïment pels moments compartits, tant passats com presents.En: There was sadness, yes, but also a deep gratitude for the moments shared, both past and present.Ca: En envoltar-se de l'energia de la Diada, va trobar una nova connexió amb les seves arrels i una comprensió més madura del que significa continuar una tradició tot mantenint viu el record dels que estima.En: Surrounded by the energy of the Diada, she found a new connection to her roots and a more mature understanding of what it means to carry on a tradition while keeping alive the memory of those she loves.Ca: La Marta sabia que tornaria amb el cor més lleuger i una visió clara de com honorar la memòria del seu avi Jordi.En: Marta knew she would return with a lighter heart and a clear

Iain Triay Clarence was reporting in town for GBC, we caught up with him in the studio to share his highlights from yesterday.Marine conservation charity, the Nautilus Project, says it's humbled to receive recognition from King Charles for its work on the Gibraltar Seagrass Restoration Project in his National Day letter this year. We spoke to Marine biologist Lewis Stagnetto.Gibraltar will be hosting the European Championships of Maintain Bike Eliminator Races in a couple weeks, in collaboration with the European Cycling Union. We spoke to Karl Soleci, one of the main organisers, and Giles Cerisola who'll be participating at the event. What did you think of the drone display last night? It seems to have divided opinion. Unfortunately the signal for the GBC coverage suffered, leaving many disappointed. We discussed the opinions from some of our listeners, and are pleased to confirm that the full drone display is now available on our website.How was your National Day? For Malcolm Blagg, the day is always a chance to celebrate community. Malcolm goes out of his way to make sure those around him at El Quarri have a great day. So much so that he was presented with a special award yesterday from Quarri regulars.And a scooter club from Pontefract in Yorkshire embarked on a charity ride to Gibraltar with their arrival coinciding with National Day.

The People's Liberation Army is expected to showcase new military hardware equipped with world-class technologies and capabilities at the upcoming V-Day parade on Wednesday.预计中国人民解放军将在周三即将举行的胜利日阅兵式上展示配备世界级技术和能力的新型军事硬件。New types of battle tanks, carrier-borne aircraft, fighter jets and strategic missiles will be highlighted during the 70-minute event, senior military officers said at a recent news conference.高级军官在最近的一次新闻发布会上表示，在70分钟的活动中，将重点介绍新型作战坦克、舰载机、战斗机和战略导弹。All of the hardware to be displayed has been domestically developed and built, and is already in active service.所有要展示的硬件都是国内开发和制造的，并且已经投入使用。The weapons feature a high level of information and automation capabilities and reflect the PLA's efforts to adapt to the development trends of science, technology and modern warfare. They will demonstrate the military's strength and ability to win wars, the officers said.这些武器具有高度的信息和自动化能力，反映了解放军适应科学技术和现代战争发展趋势的努力。军官们说，他们将展示军队的实力和赢得战争的能力。In addition to conventional weaponry, the parade will also feature unmanned platforms, counterdrone equipment and cyberspace operations apparatus, including new types of combat drones, directed-energy weapons and electronic jamming instruments, they said.他们说，除了常规武器外，阅兵式还将展出无人作战平台、反无人机设备和网络空间作战装置，包括新型作战无人机、定向能武器和电子干扰设备。Among the weapons to be displayed, hypersonic ballistic and cruise missiles are expected to attract significant attention, as China has invested heavily in the cutting-edge arena of hypersonic armaments.在即将展出的武器中，高超音速弹道导弹和巡航导弹预计将引起广泛关注，因为中国在高超音速军备的尖端领域投入了大量资金。The DF-17, China's popular hypersonic weapon, is a solid-fueled road-mobile medium-range ballistic missile. It made its public debut at the National Day parade in October 2019 and is speculated to appear again.DF-17是中国流行的高超音速武器，是一种固体燃料机动中程弹道导弹。它在2019年10月的国庆阅兵式上首次公开亮相，据推测会再次出现。With a futuristic aerodynamic design, the DF-17 can deliver a conventional warhead for short- or medium-range precision strikes in all weather conditions, and is capable of penetrating enemy defense networks, according to the PLA.Each DF-17 unit can independently launch the missile without support from other facilities.根据中国人民解放军的说法，凭借未来主义的空气动力学设计，DF-17可以在所有天气条件下为短程或中程精确打击提供常规弹头，并且能够穿透敌方防御网络。每个DF-17单元都可以在没有其他设施支持的情况下独立发射导弹。Observers said the DF-17's biggest advantage over other ballistic missiles lies in its payload — a hypersonic glide vehicle that can fly above the edge of the atmosphere and change direction frequently, creating sophisticated trajectories that are difficult for missile defense systems to track and intercept.观察人士表示，DF-17相对于其他弹道导弹的最大优势在于其有效载荷——一种滑翔弹，可以在大气层边缘上方飞行并频繁改变方向，形成导弹防御系统难以跟踪和拦截的复杂轨迹。China will stage a military parade on Wednesday to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. It will be the country's 19th military parade since the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949 and the second V-Day parade.中国将于周三举行阅兵式，纪念中国人民抗日战争和世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年。这将是自1949年中华人民共和国成立以来的第19次阅兵，也是第二次胜利日阅兵。unmannedn.无（需）人操作的/ʌnˈmænd/hypersonicn.高超音速的/ˌhaɪpəˈsɒnɪk/

National Day is round the corner, and what better time to cast a thought back to the Gibraltar of yesteryear.

They have a long-standing interest in Llanito, and now they're asking you for your help with a survey about your language history, use, proficiency, and attitudes. We spoke to Professor Brechtje Post, Professor Joanna Sitaridou, and Research Assistant Amber Holt.A-Level students recently received their results and those who performed exceptionally well - and as a result have obtained a place at a leading university - are eligible to apply for the Kusuma Trust Excellence Prize. The application process is now open and Michelle Tosso was in the studio to tell us how it works. A locally produced Christmas horror film is being pitched to distributors. It's called Vases and its tag line; ‘when loved ones are vanishing from their graves, a determined Police Officer must summon every resource to unravel the chilling mystery'.

在上海合作组织峰会欢迎宴会上的祝酒辞 （2025年8月31日，天津） 中华人民共和国主席 习近平 Toast by H.E. Xi JinpingPresident of the People's Republic of ChinaAt the Welcoming Banquet of the SCO Summit (Tianjin, August 31, 2025)尊敬的各位同事、各位来宾，Dear Colleagues,Distinguished Guests,女士们，先生们，朋友们：Ladies and Gentlemen,Friends,大家晚上好！灯火海河畔，津门纳百川。我谨代表中国政府和中国人民，欢迎各位嘉宾来到天津做客。Good evening. Tonight, we are gathered here by the glittering banks of the Haihe River in Tianjin, a city defined by its embrace of waters from all corners. On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I welcome all our distinguished guests to Tianjin.今天是上海合作组织成员国领导人同各位新老朋友欢聚一堂的日子，也是吉尔吉斯斯坦独立日和马来西亚国庆日。借此机会，谨向扎帕罗夫总统、安瓦尔总理，向友好的吉尔吉斯斯坦人民、马来西亚人民，表示诚挚的祝贺！Today is a joyful day for leaders of SCO member states to have this happy gathering with old and new friends. It is also the Independence Day of Kyrgyzstan and the National Day of Malaysia. I wish to take this opportunity to offer our heartfelt congratulations to President Sadyr Japarov, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and the friendly peoples of Kyrgyzstan and Malaysia.天津是一座开放包容的城市，自古为京畿要地，是中国改革开放先行区。这些年来，在京津冀协同发展战略引领下，中国式现代化天津篇章不断展现新气象。中方相信，在天津举办这次峰会，一定能给上海合作组织可持续发展注入新的活力。Tianjin is an open and inclusive metropolis. It has served as a strategic guardian city for our nation's capital throughout history, and pioneered China's reform and opening-up as a pilot zone. In recent years, Tianjin has implemented the national strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, and written its new and dynamic chapter in advancing Chinese modernization. We believe that as the host of this Summit, Tianjin will give fresh impetus to the sustainable development of our Organization.上海合作组织自成立以来，始终秉持“上海精神”，巩固团结互信，深化务实合作，参与国际和地区事务，成为推动构建新型国际关系和人类命运共同体的重要力量。Since its founding, the SCO has stayed committed to the Shanghai Spirit, strengthening solidarity and mutual trust, deepening practical cooperation, and taking an active part in international and regional affairs. The SCO has grown into a significant force in promoting a new type of international relations and building a community with a shared future for humanity.当前，世界百年变局加速演进，不稳定、不确定、难预料因素明显增多，上海合作组织维护地区和平稳定、促进各国发展繁荣的责任更加重大。At present, the century-defining transformation is accelerating across the world, with a marked increase in factors of instability, uncertainty, and unpredictability. The SCO thus bears an even greater responsibility for maintaining regional peace and stability and promoting development and prosperity of all countries.这次峰会肩负着凝聚各方共识、激发合作动能、擘画发展蓝图的重要使命。明天，我将同成员国各位同事举行元首理事会会议，同更多友好国家和国际组织举行“上海合作组织+”会议，共商合作发展大计，推动完善全球治理。At this Summit, we are tasked with an important mission: to build consensus among all parties, ignite momentum for cooperation, and draw up a blueprint for development. Tomorrow, I will join our colleagues at the Meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States. We will also convene the "SCO Plus" Meeting with leaders of non-SCO members and international organizations. We will focus on how to strengthen cooperation, promote development, and improve global governance.我相信，在各方共同努力下，这次峰会一定能够圆满成功，上海合作组织必将展现更大作为、实现更大发展，为促进成员国团结协作、汇聚全球南方力量、助力人类文明进步事业作出更大贡献。I am confident that with the collective efforts of all parties, this Summit will be a complete success and the SCO will play an even greater role, achieve greater development, and make greater contribution to strengthening solidarity and cooperation among the member states, pooling the strength of the Global South, and promoting the cause of human advancement.百舸争流，奋楫者先。让我们在“上海精神”指引下，从天津再出发，向着更加美好的未来，开启充满希望的新航程！As a Chinese saying goes, "In a race of a hundred boats, those who row the hardest will lead." Let us uphold the Shanghai Spirit and set out from Tianjin on a new voyage filled with hope toward an even brighter future.现在，我提议，大家共同举杯，Now, please join me in a toast:为天津峰会取得丰硕成果，To a productive and fruitful Summit;为上海合作组织实现宗旨目标，To the advancement of the SCO's goals and tasks;为各国发展繁荣、人民幸福美满，To the development and prosperity of all countries and the well-being of our people; and为各位来宾和家人的健康，To the health of all distinguished guests and your families.干杯！Cheers! 来源：新华社

May 22nd is the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Mariners and Seafarers. Bishop Brendan Cahill discusses the ministry of the church to seafarers through the work of Stella Maris. The day is intended to remember the men and women seafarers. Many seafarers are Catholic Christians and largely a migrant population in the world. Because of the nature of their work, they are not always a visible community presence. In over 50 ports, there are more than 100 Stella Maris chaplains, maritime deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers who minister to seafarers. They welcome, network, and reach out to seafarers, fishermen and women, their families, and all who work or travel on the seas. Through the celebration of the Eucharist and the Word of God, the chaplaincy team helps seafarers discover the loving presence of God in an often-challenging world. Their continued presence is a clear indication of their dedication to this vital pastoral ministry and love for the people of the sea. https://www.usccb.org/committees/pastoral-care-migrants-refugees-travelers/stella-maris-who-we-are On Wednesday, May 10, a panel of advisors to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously to make the birth-control drug, Opill, available to consumers over-the-counter in the United States. The FDA is reportedly poised to make a final decision this summer. In response to the FDA panel's recommendation, Bishop Robert E. Barron of Winona-Rochester, and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, urged the government agency to reject this advice as “not good medicine” and continue their efforts to protect women's health. Read the full statement. https://www.usccb.org/news/2023/fda-acknowledges-harm-oral-contraceptives-while-its-own-panel-advisors-push-make-drug After literally hundreds of public prayers for peace in Ukraine and 443 days after Russia launched an all-out war on the Eastern European country, Pope Francis welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the Vatican.

God told Kerry Hasenbalg over twenty years ago that she was to write this book, The Way of Becoming. She wasn't convinced. She asked God to maybe ask someone else instead. She made bookmarks instead. Happy to report, she finished her book and it released in April, just in time for the National Day of Prayer in which an entire chapter, Chapter 7, was picked to bless our nation and a free download of that excerpt is still available on her website: https://kerry hasenbalg.com/book A leader in Soul Care and a spiritual director, Kerry Hasenbalg, is a wife and mother of four and founder of The Becoming Foundation and resides in Pennsylvannia. You will be blessed and challenged as you hear our conversation about how to become who God has designed us to become no matter what challenges we face. Thank you, Kerry, for your honest reflections and teachings. We will all be hanging clotheslines very soon!   Some gems from our conversation: God is interested in our inner world and we need to bring our stress and anxieties to him and his care. We land in the valley and progress out of towards God as we apply certain faith practices in our lives, and then land in the valley again and God keeps moving us forward. The Lord brings people into our lives for us to help dispel any of their darkness with the truth and beauty of His Spirit. When we endure trials and pain, it's important that we name the broken things in our lives as we hand them over to the Healer. To ask God for specifics gives us a deeper awareness of his great love for us. I wanted to make sure to teach our kids first what God was teaching me before teaching anyone outside our home. Every day is an exercise in trusting God enough to let Him work out His plan as we walk by faith.  My legacy is to help our kids know that they can access the power of Jesus right now in their lives through whatever challenges they endure.  I wrote my book based on Scripture and included my story so that the reader could begin seeing God in their own story.

Our July episode has host and gerontologist, Sherri Snelling, talking with Saudia Gajadhar, Chief Happiness Officer at Comfort Keepers about this year's National Day of Joy survey among older adults and family caregivers and Comfort Keepers' role in the new PBS documentary, “Caregiving.” In CAREGIVER WELLNESS NEWS, Sherri shares the latest stats to highlight July's National Sandwich Generation Month as well as global wellness hacks for International Self-Care Day (July 24). She also talks about a new habit-stacking wellness trend for older women who care caregiving: how “rucking” is the new “walking.” And a new study shows the significant stress burden on caregivers of those with dementia or Alzheimer's who wander. As an intro to the interview with Saudia, Sherri shares the difference between happiness vs. joy from her book, ME TIME MONDAY. In our WELL HOME DESIGN NEWS, Sherri focuses on the financial wellness challenges for the Sandwich Generation including a recent Edward Jones survey showing Sandwich Generation caregivers need more education from financial advisor about long-term care costs; and the actual monetary responsibility many Gen X, Millennials and older Gen Z are taking on caring for children and older parents at the same time. Sherri also shares the topics from the July “Self-Care in 7 Minutes” videos found on the Caregiving Club YouTube channel: Caregiver Bill of Rights, How Alice in Wonderland Helps Caregivers Build Resiliency, 10 Global Wellness Hacks for International Self-Care Day, How the Sandwich Generation Can Build Social Wellness.
