Keep pushing, praying and sharing Christ with those you come in contact with.    The largest game of Simon Says involved 12,215 participants at the Utah Summer Games Opening Ceremony in Cedar City, Utah, on June 14, 2007. To play simon says you have to follow simon and you have to know your body parts.  Same with God and his body.  Or your out! But think about when your growing up and your siblings play copy cat and it drives you nuts. We can do that in the body of christ and it's frustrating for both people!  "Theres something different about you.."  That used to be a sly way cutting someone down but really in gods eyes that's a compliment.    Romans 12:4,5 Each one is a part of that body, and each part belongs to all the other parts. We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us.    Look we all have arms… but that doesn't mean we all have big biceps, we don't all have the same flexibility, we don't all have the same skin color, we don't all have the same skill set with our arms… I can't juggle, but I can throw a knife… Point is - quit trying to be someone else. Find out who your are supposed to be in Christ and be that.  You might have the gift of wisdom, but it might be best used with teenagers… you humor, your insight, your ability to connect etc… might rub adults the wrong way, but may be exactly what teens relate to.  My thought specifically on this is that the worst thing about social media is that it tells us who we should be, how we should act, what we should believe, what our strengths should be, what are gifts should be…  When was the last time you followed an influencer that was huge who's gifting was the Mercy or compassion or hospitality…    What if God was Simon… would he tell all of us to be the same and do the same? That would be a pretty boring noncreative God. But thats not him, he is the original originator of the pure creative… he creates stuff out of NOTHING… NOTHING. He can use your gifts to do the unbelievable.  Give him some space to be God and to show him who you ought to be

Romans 8:18, 35, 37-39. If you are going through a time of trial or testing of your faith, now is not the time to abandon your faith thinking that God doesn't love you. Nothing is further from the truth. The fact is, God does love you.

Dr. Paul Alexander Liberty Hour – Had we done NOTHING ⏤ NOTHING at all, other than double down and triple down to protect our high-risk vulnerable persons (for any possible pathogen or crisis), we would have lost far fewer people, and most would be alive today! It is what WE DID, in the medical policies and response, our medical management, that killed 90 to 95% of our precious people. The medical response killed most of our people!

On Easter Sunday, we examine Matthew's account of Jesus' resurrection. If there is enough reason to believe that it actually happened, what do we do with that information? Does it make a difference to our lives? Jesus seems to think it does.

In this Episode 1 of “Behind the Lodge Door,” hosts Dan and Damo - who both attend Mary Help of Christians mission that provides the Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass to faithful Catholics throughout Australia - explore the tactics employed by Freemasonry, to achieve their key aim of ridding society of the Supernatural. This episode also discusses the French and American Revolutions and their relevance to the “Religious Revolution” which culminated in the creation of the Vatican II counterfeit catholic church. The Freemasons are arguably, the greatest modern-day enemy of the True Catholic Church and “Behind the Lodge Door” provides listeners with a deeper awareness of the evils of this condemned secret-society. “Join us on this journey - we never thought such a serious topic could be so much fun!” (Dan and Damo) Show Notes: If you wish to purchase Behind the Lodge Door (by Paul A.

Welcome back! This is the first of a 24-episode contract beginning in 2022. I've already recorded an interview with Kyle Hagge and have a couple more scheduled. Between those and some solo episodes, there's a lot of content that I'm very excited about that's coming. This podcast is built around the idea of Live By Design. This is a concept that says you have responsibility and ownership of your life. That your actions have consequences and you can make your own decisions with agency. To go along with that is the idea of this: If you change nothing, nothing will change. It's January 5th, the beginning of a new year, 2022. Around this time, there's been lots of talk about resolutions, and if you don't change anything about your life, nothing about your life will change. But I want to add to that: If you change everything, nothing will change. Life isn't about radical shifts and transitions. It's not about flipping a switch and being a new person. There's really something to the new year, and it signifies a new beginning in your life, and in mine. But realistically. If you're like me, you often try to make sweeping changes to your life in short bursts. You say things like, “This month, I'll change XYZ and ABC.” You might even write out your new habits and put them in your calendar and schedule them in, so you know you'll follow through with it. When we try to make sweeping, broad changes like this, we often cannot make them. We can't follow through. Life doesn't work that way. The right answer for new years' resolutions and for goal-setting and growth in general is a middle-ground. It's not about changing nothing, (if you change nothing, nothing will change), but it's also not about changing everything (if you change everything, nothing will change.) Instead, it's about taking consistent actions. One day after the another, each step before the next. Repeated, consistent actions are the big things in our lives. People that are great writers got that way not by taking one course or reading one book. They got that way by writing a lot of words every day for a long time. Repeated, consistent action. People who are fit didn't do it on a crash diet and going to the gym in January. They did it by building habits and consistent actions of eating healthier, sleeping better, and exercising consistently for a long time. Our lives can change. You are capable of change. That's a core tenet of the Live By Design idea. But to make a lasting change means you have to change in small ways, consistently. Over long periods of time, these small changes become the big changes. And I hope today is the day you start with those small changes. Every Monday and Wednesday, I publish a bite-sized episode on fulfillment, living by design, working hard, career growth, and mental models. These episodes are less than 10 minutes so you can fit them in your daily routine, and they come from some of the wisest, most accomplished people throughout history.

What I gonna tell here is about nothing after a long time. Stay tune to listen to my nothing.

Jesse Stewart is the Founder of AM300 Solutions. He is a writer, best-selling author, speaker, consultant, and former U.S. Army Ranger. He retired at the rank of Major following multiple combat tours spanning every calendar year from 2003-2010.You can only earn hard fought wisdom through experience. Jesse discussed his family history of military experience going all the way back to the French and Indian War. He followed in his grandfather's and his father's footsteps enrolling in the Army after high school, and his father stayed enlisted long enough to give him his first solute and pin his Ranger tab on his uniform.Jesse was drawn to service but remembers the day that solidified his path to the Rangers. After having long at the top of the World Trade Center on September 10, 2001 with his aunt and uncle, he watched the towers fall the following day from the weight room at college and took the event as a direct attack on his family. He became an Army Ranger and spent almost 8 years deployed on and off fighting for the United States of America. After reaching the rank of Major and sustaining multiple injuries on the battlefield, Jesse was medically retired, in 2012, at the age of 31 and left “medically disabled.”Jesse's experience after leaving the military brought more clarity to his life and purpose. After battling depression and alcoholism, Jesse went through a transformation, similar to that of a Phoenix burning down to the ashes before being reborn.Jesse founded AM300 solutions to train athletes with the Hard Fought Wisdom he acquired on the battlefield. One of the aspects of the program he is most proud of is the Warrior Athlete Program, where the athletes he works with visit with Veterans to help bring purpose to their lives. He now works extensively with the US Olympic Ski and Snowboard team, helping train their minds for the uncertainty of competition. As a consultant, many Olympic athletes are reaching peek performance and anticipating success in the coming games.Jesse is a best-selling author, consultant, keynote speaker (check out his TED talk) and all around leader.For more: http://everybreathcountspodcast.com/https://everybreathcountspodcast.com/?p=27Website: AM 300 SolutionsBuy the book – Un-Winnable WarsThe Phoenix Project (Coming 2021)US Ski and Snowboard OlympicTeamLucas Fosterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/am300phoenix/https://www.instagram.com/am300phoenix/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyAKKZTcgYV3HwSdZB0xC6g?view_as=subscriberhttps://twitter.com/am300phoenix

The powers of the world want to hold us back, to stop our movement home, to stifle our imagination for a world where God reigns and all is made right. But the Holy Spirit will not let this happen. Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is calling us forward into that new day. No power of hell, no scheme of man, no might of empire: when we are called home, we are called home.

Earning Freedom: Conquering a 45-Year Prison Term, by Michael Santos Chapter 14.1 Arriving at the Taft Federal Camp and settling in Months 233-266          Early on the morning of June 21, I learn that I’m no longer designated to FCC Lompoc. Two guards from the Taft Correctional Institution arrive.  They lock six of us in chains, and then they load us into a white van. We’re on our way to the Central Valley of California, leaving Lompoc behind for good. Lompoc Camp was already a memory after 65 days locked in SHU, but I’m a little sad when the van exits the main gate and turns left toward the highway. I’ll miss running long distances in the shade of Lompoc’s majestic eucalyptus trees, enjoying the fragrances of the pines mixed with breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean. I’ll miss my friend Lee and the nearly private space I enjoyed in the powerhouse office. The two-lane road climbs east through low mountains, drops into the San Joaquin Valley, and it finally whips through high desert.  It’s a landscape of blowing dust, sagebrush, and unsightly steel pumps sucking oil from the arid soil. I lean involuntarily as the van turns right onto the long entry road leading to the prison, bouncing over yellow speed bumps. At the parking lot of the double-fenced, low-security prison, manicured lawns and palm trees welcome us. Blooming gardens create the illusion of a lush oasis in this desert. After the requisite intake processing, three of us designated to minimum-security take our bedrolls and board the white van, unrestrained, for a short ride to Taft Camp’s low, gray, concrete administration building. Located behind the low-security prison, the modern, single-story design features tinted windows and round pillars supporting an extended roof shading spacious walkways. The building looks more like the headquarters for a software engineering firm than a prison. Taft Camp appears to be well maintained. In the administration building, the round schoolhouse clock in the glass-enclosed guard’s station reads just past five. I cross the tile floor and push open the glass door to the camp’s compound. After more than two months in Lompoc’s SHU I revel in this less-stressful environment. Wide, clean, concrete walkways cut across pristine lawns in the center of the camp compound. Decorative, knee-high light posts illuminate the walks leading to the glass-enclosed chow hall and across the lawn to the two-storied housing unit with its horizontal rows of tall, unbarred, wide windows of tinted glass. In the distance, an oval track surrounds softball and soccer fields. Men in khakis, white t-shirts, and sneakers visit outside the housing units. They appear friendly, smiling and nodding as I climb the stairs to A4D, my assigned housing unit. The air conditioning feels good, cooling me as I step inside the high-ceilinged dorm, one of four identical housing units. Six telephones hang across from each other on the two walls immediately inside the foyer, and I don’t see any guards. Unlike the open dormitories at Lompoc, two and three-man cubicles divide the housing unit, creating a grid that provides a semblance of privacy for the 140 men in my unit. The bathroom facilities are much larger than Lompoc’s.  They include 16 shower areas with doors and plenty of toilet stalls, urinals, and sinks. The unit reserves a room for four microwaves and an ice machine, rooms with six televisions and game tables, and a small study room that overlooks the lawns. In cubicle 36, a three-man room, I meet my two roommates. “I’m Rick,” one man offers, extending his hand.
Dan, a slender, blond man in his early 50s, introduces himself as well.
I set my bedroll on the top rack.
“Let me show you how to make up your bed,” Dan offers. “It can be a little tricky to keep your sheets in place. What you want to do is….” “Thanks for the tip,” I raise my hand to stop his instruction. “I’d like to say I’m new, but I’ve been at this awhile.” “Oh, I thought you were fresh off the streets. Did you come in from the county jail?” I chuckle as I tie the corners of my sheets around the mat. “Not jail. I was at Lompoc Camp.” “Really? Lompoc Camp! I’ve heard that’s the best place in the system.” Dan turns to Rick. “My lawyer tried to get me sent to Lompoc, but the schmuck got me sent to this dump filled with drug dealers and criminals.” “Yeah,” Rick agrees. “I’ve heard about Lompoc. Forbes runs an article each year that ranks the best prisons for white-collar offenders and Lompoc Camp always comes out on top. Is it true that they’ve got a golf course?” Rick simulates a golf swing. “I didn’t see a golf course,” I laugh. “But Lompoc does have its bright spots.” “You’re not going to like the change,” Dan warns. “This place is a real prison.” “No kidding? What’s not to like?” I ask. Rick and Dan exchange a knowing glance. “You’ll find out soon enough,” Dan says. “The food is awful, the staff is incompetent, and 95 percent of the men here are dim bulbs, borderline imbeciles,” Rick tells me. “Well, I guess I lucked out then, being assigned to this cubicle. What do you guys do for a living?” “I’m an accountant,” Rick says. “And what brings you to Taft Camp?” I stuff my pillow into the pillowcase. “Overzealous prosecutors,” he answers. “Saddled me with three years for advising clients on offshore accounts. It was totally above board. I shouldn’t even be here.” “Did you take the case to trial?” “Oh no. If I’d lost at trial I would’ve been facing ten years. Better to plead guilty, take the three years and move on with my life.” “What about you?” I ask Dan. “I’m in investments.” “Oh? What kind?” “All kinds,” he says. “My company purchases real estate, financial instruments, businesses. Private equity.” “And how long are you with us?” I ask. “Serving 46 months,” Dan says. “It doesn’t make any sense at all. We’ve got drug dealers and other real criminals running around here serving half the sentence I’m serving.” “What did they charge you with?” I ask. “You’re not going to believe it,” he says. “Try me,” I smile. “Fraud. Said I was running a Ponzi. I offered investors a legitimate 10 percent annual return on their money. I got a little behind the eight ball when markets started going sideways on me, and before you know it, boom, I got the FBI breathing down my neck.” “How much was the amount of loss?” “A lousy four million. If the investors would’ve just been patient, the deals would’ve worked out. Totally legit. Now it’s all gone.” He waves his hand dismissively. “What’re you, a lawyer?” Rick asks as he sits on his lower rack. “No. I’m serving a 45 year sentence for selling cocaine.” Silence. Don and Rick look at each other.
Then Rick explodes with laughter. “No way! You wouldn’t be in camp with a sentence like that.” “I’m totally serious. Of course, I’ve been in a long time.” “But you said you came from Lompoc Camp. That’s a spot for white-collar offenders.” “Not only white-collar offenders, and I did come from Lompoc Camp. But I was in several prisons before Lompoc Camp.” “Like where?” Rick asks, still skeptical, unable to hide his curiosity and incredulity. “I started in USP Atlanta,” I toss out, humoring myself with my new roommates. Rick scoots to the edge of his rack, leans in. “No way. You were in a penitentiary?” “I spent six Christmases inside those walls. Then I transferred to McKean, in Pennsylvania. From there I transferred to Fairton, in New Jersey. I spent almost eight years at Fort Dix. Then I was in Florence Camp, Lompoc Camp, and now I’m here.” They stare at me for a moment in silence. “How long have you been in prison?” Rick finally blurts out. “Twenty years.” “Twenty years?” Don whistles. “I’ve never met anyone who’s been in longer than five. Listen, I hope I didn’t offend you with anything I said. I didn’t know.” “After 20 years in prison, do you really think I could be offended by something you’d say?”  “So no hard feelings then?” Dan puts out his hand. “Think nothing of it.” We shake hands again. ******* I meet my counselor and my case manager. Both women speak to me kindly, taken aback that I’ve been in prison for so long. “Where are all your tattoos?” My counselor teases. She grants my request for a phone call to Carole and immediately approves a visiting list authorizing Carole to visit over the weekend. “You could put a different set of clothes on and I wouldn’t know you’ve been in prison at all.” My case manager says. “Does that surprise you?” I ask with a laugh. “Totally. I was a little girl when you came to prison. I would’ve expected you to be angry and bitter. But you’re all smiles, normal, like you haven’t ever served time in prison.” “Isn’t that ironic?” I ask. “What’s that?” “That I’m unscathed after 20 years of imprisonment, with all my teeth and no tattoos, yet you wonder what went wrong. You expect two decades in prison should turn me angry and bitter. When you see that it hasn’t, you wonder why.” “Oh! I didn’t think of it that way.” ******* When Carole and I were in Fort Dix we were able to visit five days a week. Those ample visits allowed us to deepen our relationship and allowed me to play an influential role in Nichole’s life. In Florence Camp, rules allowed us to visit every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and federal holiday. At Lompoc, restrictions were tighter. Authorized visits were only Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Still, we appreciated the time together. In Taft Camp, I learn, a point structure penalizes families who visit on weekends or holidays. Because Carole is in school on Fridays, we’ll only be able to visit on weekends, limiting us to a maximum of two or three visits each month, depending on whether we visit on Saturdays or Sundays. The visiting restrictions will complicate our life, but we’ll make it through.  Carole arrives early on Sunday for our first visit at Taft. “Tell me all about it. How do you like it here?” Carole smiles, eager to hear about this newest transition. “Without a doubt, this is the easiest prison in the world.” “How are the people?” “Do you mean the other prisoners or the staff?” “Both.” “The prisoners are the same as in every other camp, but the guards are different. It’s only been a few days, but the staff I’ve spoken to seem a much friendlier group than the standard-issue BOP brand.” “What do you mean?” “Rather than the BOP, a private company manages this place. I don’t know why, but it’s different from other prisons. The guards don’t give the impression that they’re out to harass me, and the unit team members, meaning the counselors and case managers, treat me like a person, not a prisoner.” “My contact at the Regional Office said Taft was the best spot for you. That’s why I want you to make me a promise.” “What’s that?” I ask warily. “What kind of promise do you want me to make?” “Just listen. Thanks to Lee, we have enough in the bank to pay for everything we need until I finish nursing school. Nichole’s going to graduate next June, and by then I’ll have my nursing license. I don’t want you to do anything that might send you to the hole or get you transferred. Don’t write anything about prison, and don’t tell me to make any stock trades. Nothing. I don’t want any problems that might waken the beast.” “I don’t want problems either,” I say, wanting to reassure her. “You know what I mean. No more writing until I graduate. After that, I can get a job anywhere if they decide to transfer you for publishing or for some other ridiculous reason.” “I have to prepare for my release and the only way I know how to do that is by writing. We can’t allow the system to keep me from working.” “The system isn’t stopping you,” Carole says. “I’m asking you to stop. It’s just for one year, until I graduate.” “You want me to give up a year of work?” “Please, Michael. No writing about prison or prisoners.” I shake my head. “Nothing?” “Nothing.”
I pause. Writing enables me to transcend the boundaries, allowing me to connect with the society I long to join. By writing about what I’ve learned from others, observed, and experienced, I take meaningful steps to reform this system, showing taxpayers what those within the prison industrial complex don’t want citizens to see. As a writer, I’m relevant, more than a prisoner, part of something bigger than me. But I won’t deny Carole and so I agree to suspend my work until she graduates. I don’t want to give prison administrators cause to uproot our lives again. “Okay. I promise.” ******* Tavo may not have much of an education, but he maneuvers his way around Taft Camp just fine, providing for himself with a hustle here and a hustle there. He’s five foot-six and doesn’t weigh more than130 pounds.  He wears his straight black hair parted down the middle and feathered back. His eyes are a startling green and, despite his 40 years, there’s not a whisker on his face. Tavo has a trace of an accent even though he was born and reared in Los Angeles. He keeps up with who’s being released from the camp, negotiating a price for each departing prisoner’s sneakers, sweats, radios, and other belongings. He tacks on a markup and sells the goods to newcomers, even providing a payment plan when necessary. He has a commissary squeeze where he charges a fee for providing candy, soda, chips, or other items on days when the prisoners aren’t authorized to shop. For his most lucrative gig, Tavo provides the service of doubling mattresses. Bed frames at Taft Camp consist of metal slabs welded to four metal posts. The narrow slabs have lips that rise an inch around the edges to hold the sleeping mats in place. Tavo understands that some prisoners in camp are sensitive to the harshness of institutional living. He charges $40 to cut through the seam, stuff a second mat into the casing and sew it shut, thus converting the mat to a mattress. “You’ve got to meet Tavo,” Rick, my roommate nudges. “For 40 bucks he’ll hook up the mattress in a way that makes sleeping almost bearable.” “Appreciate the tip. I’m good,” I say. “Can’t pay enough for a good night’s sleep,” Dan seconds the suggestion. “Sit on mine.” “I’m sure it’s comfortable,” I shrug. “But I’ve known hundreds of Tavos. The double mattress is great until guards come through on a shakedown and issue shots for destruction of government property. I don’t need the headache.” “They can’t do that,” Rick says. “I’d just say the mattress was issued to me this way. Check it out. You can’t even tell.” “I’ll be okay. Thanks.” Rick and Dan serve their time as a team. They eat meals together, walk the track together, and they partner in card tournaments. But in the afternoon, when rules require us all to stand in the cube for the daily census count, we sometimes discuss our lives and thoughts. They question me about other prisons and what it’s been like to serve so many years. “I’ll tell you one thing. Serving time in other prisons has made it easy for me to appreciate Taft.” “You see, that’s not normal,” Dan tells me. “You’ve been in too long, so long that prison doesn’t bother you anymore. Truth is, this is inhumane. The lengths of the sentences don’t make any sense at all.” “What he’s saying,” Rick jumps in, “is that some people might belong in prison. But guys like us shouldn’t be in here at all.” “What do you mean, ‘like us’? I’m in here for selling cocaine. The first day I came into the cube you were saying that people who sold drugs were the real criminals who belong in prison.” “Not for 20 years,” Dan amends. “Besides, you’re different now. You’ve educated yourself and you’ve got things going on in the world. Prison should be for the criminal types, the guys who keep selling drugs or committing crimes.” “You mean guys like Tavo?” I ask. Rick shifts uncomfortably. “Well, Tavo’s a nice enough guy, but what’s he going to do in the world? No one’s going to hire him. He’s not doing anything to change his ways. Chances are, he’s probably going to leave here and hustle drugs again.” “Chances are,” I say, “that he came from a poor family, quit school before 10th grade, can’t read well, and had to hustle for survival. How about you? Where did you go to school?” “Cal State Northridge,” Rick says. “You went to USC right?” I nod at Dan. “Go Trojans,” Dan waves two fingers in the air. “Should society hold people who come from poverty to the same standard as people who come from privilege?” “You break the law, you break the law,” Dan explains smugly. “We all make our choices.” “But you guys whine in here every day about your discomfort and the living conditions. Guys like Tavo are getting by the only way they know how. This might be as good as he’s ever had it.” I argue. “He’s a criminal. He sold drugs,” Dan counters. “I don’t know what Tavo did, but he probably sold drugs to consenting adults and he probably serves at least twice as long as you. Who would the investors in your scam think is the worse criminal, Tavo or you?” I ask. “You don’t know anything about my case,” Dan hisses. “I didn’t set out to lose anyone’s money. Markets just went against me. I couldn’t control it. It’s not my fault.” “That may be,” I shrug. “But you pled guilty. That means you had to stand in court, and while under oath, admit to committing fraud.” “I only pled guilty because I would’ve gotten a longer sentence if I went to trial.” “Either way, you’re not in a position to be judging anyone else in here.” That argument serves me well, as neither Rick nor Dan speak to me again. We pass each other silently for three months before a staff member grants my request to move into a two-man cube further back in the housing unit with David Muniz, a married father of two. Since I’m keeping my promise to Carole that I won’t write, I devote my time to exercising and spending several hours each week tutoring and coaching David on steps he can take to prepare for release. We laugh as guards wheel a cart through the unit one day, confiscating all double mattresses. When one of the guards threatens Dan with a shot, Dan doesn’t hesitate to snitch on Tavo. Rick, however, argues with the guard “You can’t take my mattress! I’ve got a bad back.” “This mattress isn’t standard issue, it’s been altered. It’s contraband.” The guard doesn’t have any concern about the condition of Rick’s back. “If you don’t provide me with a double mattress, my lawyer will slap a lawsuit on this prison so fast it’ll make the warden’s head spin.” “Really,” the guard says in a voice dripping with sarcasm. “Let’s see you launch that lawsuit from the SHU.” *******   ******* Carole and I celebrate Christmas day sitting beside each other in the visiting room. Wreathes, blinking lights, a Christmas tree, and a full-sized red, wooden sleigh decorate the room. A prisoner in a Santa outfit walks around the crowded room handing out candy canes, but my gift is sitting beside me. “This is your 21st Christmas in prison,” Carole says. “Our sixth together since we’ve been married.” “We only have six more to go.” “Five,” she corrects me. “No, 2013.” “But you’ll be home in August. We’ll spend Christmas together that year.” The years blend together for me now, but Carole helps me visualize our life ahead. It’s not easy to imagine being free. Strange. “Time will move so much faster starting in 2008,” I say. “How so?” “We’ve got all these events to mark the time. They’ll come like milestones, passing quickly, giving us real markers to look toward.” “Like what?” “What do you mean ‘like what’?” I hold up my fingers to count. “In January the political season kicks off with the primaries. We’ll follow all the races, starting in Iowa. After the primaries roll around, we’ll have a better idea who our next president is going to be.” Carole squeezes my hand. “I’m so sick of politics. It doesn’t matter who wins, nothing changes.” “Then in March the $500,000 fine that my judge imposed expires. We can open a joint bank account as husband and wife. In May, you graduate from nursing school. In June, Nichole graduates from high school. Sometime during the summer the political conventions will name the candidates. The fall will make politics really exciting. Then it will be Christmas again.” “The years take much longer to pass than you make it sound,” Carole says. “Remember what we were doing five years ago?” I ask her. “I had just moved to Fort Dix.” “Remember what I told you on New Year’s Day, when you and Nichole came to visit?” “Tell me again.” “I put up my hand and opened five fingers like this,” I repeat the action. “I said that in five years, if you stayed with me, your life would be completely different. And look at you now, five years later.” She smiles and brushes her cheek against mine. “Do you think I’m so different?” “You’re a magnificent wife. No matter what happens in my life, nothing will bring me more happiness than my marriage to you.”

Chelsea here today with Chelsea's Motorvational Mondays. The thought of the day is "Change Nothing, nothing will change." What are we doing that sabotages ourselves? Our routine in the morning, our routine at night, something that we just haven't contemplate and we don't change it, but yet you might get frustrated all the time. So as you're going throughout the week, do you find yourself in the same situation constantly, where maybe it should be changed up? So just as you're going throughout the week kind of self think about that. When you get to a point of maybe being stressed, or you're running late and going, "Okay, what caused this?" Maybe what caused it last time and the time before that, and if it's the same continual thing, it may be time for a change. If we change nothing, nothing will change. So as you're going through your life and things get growing, getting bigger and more positive, sometimes change does need to happen. Hope you have a Motivational Week.

For the last two years Helen Perry has steadily created her own colourful corner of the internet. Previously a BBC journalist, she started her instagram account (@notaboutthekids) to help transition from the role of full-time mum back into work after a break of eight years. This space began. as the name suggests, with a conscious decision that it would not be about her role as a mother. Instead she wanted to explore her love of photography and chatting to other like-minded women; all of which has enabled her to build an incredible community around her account. Now Helen teaches others about social media, works with small businesses, writes and organises social marketing events.  What we talked about: Lack of enough voices out there of women in the 40+ age bracket - "There seems to be this vanishing point that happens after you have kids." Still being ambitious in your 40s and having things you'd like to achieve The impact of time out of the workforce on your sense of self-worth Stepping away from things that were keeping her busy, but weren't satisfying her ambitions or creative drive How career coaching helped her unpick what she really wanted to pursue and recognise the skills that she has Why she feels the most importance step is to just start doing something; because until you do you won't get any closer to where you want to be The benefits of investing in yourself and going to in-person workshops as a way of meeting like-minded people and creating a network Embracing the mistakes and learning from them.

Bob's Website! Bob's TED Talk. **Intro: ** Maeve! Our first interview! Episode 2. I just re-listened to it expecting to cringe. It holds up quite well. :) Bo is super famous and we love him. Hopefully he listens to this episode and contacts us. We expect he will. Andrew’s Company is THE Company around town. The Royal family is in England. For the record. Who are the Kardashians? We are a pretty good time for lunch and we’re not famous so… buy us a burrito and maybe you can come on our show. Let’s keep this brief. Brevity does not mean courage. That said, John’s braveness in attempting to use the word was adorable. Episode Notes “We objectify people by seeing them as a vehicle, obstacle or simply of no relevance.” Bob saw us as none of these things which is why he was willing to grab lunch with us. Bob thought it was the end of the world… and it wasn’t. “Resilience is getting back up after you get knocked down and realizing everybody gets knocked down and sometimes we need to take turns helping each other back up!” Book Alert! Loving What Is! Article Alert! How to get rid of your repressed anger! Adorable Alert! John had a little yellow blanket and carried it around until all that was left was a frayed tiny corner. What magical blanket or teddy bear are you carrying or chasing that you think will make you happy/secure? Bob’s addiction was busyness! John relates to Bob. Andrew probably relates to John and Bob too but isn’t doing these shownotes. Depression is hell. Be kind to yourself and others who are in the midst of it. Yes, that was a phone ringing. John forgot he was recording a podcast. The Path of No Resistance! “What do you do to get the kicker ready to kick the winning field goal in the Super Bowl? I don’t get him ready to kick the winning field goal, I get him ready to be ok either way.” Confirmation Bias prevents honest dialogue and our own personal growth. We can do better! Bob thought if he experienced enough external success he would be healed. This goes back to the Teddy Bear/ Blanket. What Blanket are you carrying around in hopes of gaining success? We have no idea which politician Bob was referring to. Anyone? Mosquitos on Cocaine. They fly high. #nailedit Andrew forgot that Bob hasn’t stepped away from his Memory Stuff. The irony is delicious. Panic attacks can be very frightening to experience. You may even feel like death is imminent. Instead of resisting the feeling or worse, trying to control it, you must learn to be ok with it and ultimately embrace it. Put your arm around it, like it’s a struggling friend. It’s counter-intuitive but it works. And it will go away. Cold Showers can also provide an instant mental reset. The blue light from your computer and phone will NOT lull you to sleep. Quite the opposite. Best to avoid before bed-time. We have 15th century brains with 21st century technology. The greatest addictive behaviour they have created for social media is the scroll down feature. It’s like an emotional slot machine!! Nothing Nothing..I won, I won! There is a strong link between depression, anxiety and time spent on Social Media. The most important person on the planet is the one right in front of you! Lost Connections! This well reviewed boook looks at why you’re depressed and how to find hope! Irrational thoughts aren’t real yet we believe them. We don’t have to believe everything we think! Struggle is arguing with what is. What’s the negative thought that is kicking you out of heaven? Besides cancelling your dentist appointment, what would you do if you found out you had a year to live? Why aren’t you doing that now? A belief is simply an opinion you refuse to reconsider. The Unthered Soul! That voice in your head. Unless it's paying rent, you need to evict it. Note: Voices can't pay rent, evict it. You are not your thoughts. You are simply the observer. If this sounds like wooo wooo, look into mindfulness and meditation. Quieting your mind is the key to peace and joy. Find your way or reach out to a trained professional for help. The movies in your mind ARE. NOT .REAL.

Not again! Yes, again. The Oilers got out-worked and lost a must-win game to Arizona. This is getting frustrating. David Staples and Bruce McCurdy of The Cult of Hockey dig in.

For king's daughter, one became the disguiser.Though lustful and selfish, even his honor was preserved. 1.  O! World-Guru!

Technology brought the Viet Nam War into our living rooms for the first time in history and we heard the daily body count from across the sea. Everyone longed for peace. Scripture John 20:20-21 Jesus: May each one of you be at peace. As He was speaking, He revealed the wounds in His hands and side. The disciples began to celebrate as it sank in that they were really seeing the Lord. Jesus: I give you the gift of peace. In the same way the Father sent Me, I am now sending you. Devotional What does peace mean to you? There will never be peace between nations. We can't even have peace within nations as evidenced by our most recent elections here. We often can't achieve peace in our own households as evidenced by divorce rates climbing toward 60% So what is peace? Definition of peace: 1. freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility. 2.freedom from or the cessation of war or violence. Is this what Jesus promised His disciples and us? Freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility? Slander; persecution; martyrdom Where is the peace He promised? If looking for peace in regard to our relation to the world, it will never happen The world hated Him and will hate us Promised trouble in this world and all who follow Him have found trouble if they share His message or live the life He demands of us The world opposes us and tries to turn us to their ways When we don't they do everything they can to destroy us So what kind of peace did Jesus leave? Inner peace Peace with ourselves and with God Freedom from the guilt that plagues us because of estrangement from God in our wickedness Doesn't mean we're murderers or robbers Although, Jesus says hate means murder Coveting, means robbery Robbing God with our tithes and offerings All have sinned against God Failed to honor Him and live the life He wants us to live We know we need His forgiveness He gives assurance of forgiveness and peace What can you give in exchange for that peace? Nothing Nothing in all the world is worth the peace you can have in knowing your sins are forgiven Every follower of Jesus who is really all in for Him knows that His legacy is peace If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church.
