Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring, and her beloved friend Dorothy Freeman shared a love of nature, and especially of one bird: the Veery, a type of thrush. Plain looking as it is, the Veery has a particularly beautiful song. Hear the extended podcast from BirdNote Presents. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Before Your Parent's Dementia Diagnosis: 4 Things Every Family Must Do NOW (From a Daughter Who's Lived It) If you have a parent over 70, this episode could save your family $35,000, a year of your life, and the kind of stress that breaks marriages and fractures families. After four years of navigating dementia caregiving for multiple family members — including her mother-in-law with Alzheimer's, her father-in-law with vascular dementia, and now signs in her own family — Shelly Niehaus is sharing the proactive caregiving roadmap she wishes someone had handed her family before "the phone call." This is the episode every adult child with an aging parent needs to hear — before a dementia diagnosis lands in your lap. Most dementia and caregiving resources are built for families already in crisis. This one is different. This one is for the daughter, son, or spouse who has felt the flutter in their stomach but doesn't know where to start. The one quietly watching. The one quietly worrying. The one who doesn't have a plan — yet. In this deeply personal episode, Shelly walks you through the 4 areas of dementia caregiving you cannot avoid — and how to start on every single one of them today, without a diagnosis, without a family meeting, and without anyone in your family agreeing that something is wrong. In this episode, you'll learn: The Sunday phone call that changed everything: "How long do I pack for?" "I have no idea." Why the families who struggle most aren't the ones who don't love enough — they're the ones without a plan AREA 1 — Legal: Why the window to put Power of Attorney documents in place is open RIGHT NOW, and closes the moment your loved one loses capacity (and why a notarized POA is NOT the same as a complete POA) AREA 2 — Medical: Why you have to ask for a cognitive evaluation by name — and why your parent's primary care doctor probably won't bring it up AREA 3 — Financial: The slow unraveling nobody is watching, and the early sign of cognitive decline most families completely miss AREA 4 — Safety & Logistics: The conversations nobody wants to have (driving, firearms, home safety) and why naming a family quarterback BEFORE the crisis matters more than almost anything else The legal mistake that cost Mark and Shelly a year of their lives untangling frozen accounts and inaccessible Social Security The $35,000 air ambulance that could have been avoided with one earlier conversation The Truth About Watching: the 3am wake-ups, the fear, the dread, the grief that starts where the worry starts "I can't do round three. I don't have it in me." — and why Shelly is doing it anyway The one question that determines whether your family walks through this season with peace or chaos  

This passage begins Jesus's Sermon on the Plain. In it, Jesus shows the blessing of following Him, the sorrow of following self, and the overarching call to love in the Christian life.

Just as God has a work he wants to do in your life, so does the enemy. The devil wants to do a work in your mind. He wants to do his nasty work in your heart. And he wants to bring absolute destruction to your relationships. And here's the really dangerous thing … you may just be doing the devil's work for him. That's right – you might be causing the destruction yourself. Most of us have partnered with the enemy and without even knowing it, we've been doing his nasty work for him. We've made his job easy. Paul warns us of this in Ephesians 4: 26-27, “Don't sin by letting anger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” Here's what this DOES NOT MEAN – this does not mean you can never be angry. This doesn't mean you have to smile and always be happy. There is righteous anger. There are times when it is right to be angry. Jesus flipped a few tables in his day. You don't have to be a pushover. In fact, God's word even warns us that it's not good to just go along with the crowd. We are to stand up for what is right. We are to be the light in the darkness. We are to cast out demons and evict evil. But, here's what we cannot do – we cannot let anger control us. You can have anger – but don't let anger have you. There's a difference. When anger has you, it takes control of your mind and your mouth. When anger has you, you lash out and you act in a way that is not honoring of God. When anger has you, you sin. Don't sin by letting anger control you. Where has anger taken control of you and left you thinking, saying and doing things you don't even want to? Do you see this anywhere in your life? Do you know how that happened? Plain and simple, you didn't put a time limit on that anger. You can feel what you need to feel, but you can't allow yourself an open ended space to feel those negative feelings because then they take root and they begin growing in you. Whatever grows in you begins to take over you. This week I was sitting in a small village in southern Italy just looking at the old stone buildings and architecture. I noticed a grapevine that had grown up the side of the building. But then the grapevine had began to grow into the building. Attaching itself to the stone, wrapping itself around the railings, and literally growing to become part of the building. The grapevine was creating damage to the stone walls and taking over the walkway. This is the perfect picture of what happens within us with anything we allow to grow. We are taken over. Some of us have angry grapevines growing on every surface, creating damage and destruction. It didn't happen instantly, it happened over time. Time. God works with time, but so does the enemy of your soul. If you give God time, he will radically change your life and set you free. If you give the devil time, he will wreck your heart, corrupt your mind, and destroy your life. And this is why Paul says, “Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” This is about time. If you give the devil time with your anger, he will do his nasty work and eat you up on the inside. All anger, even justified anger, must be managed with a time limit. Anger absolutely cannot take up permanent residence in your heart and mind! How much time will you give anger? Something makes you mad – okay – so how long will you allow yourself to be mad over that? Paul says, NOT EVEN A FULL DAY. That's what it means to not let the sun go down on your anger. Don't let today's anger flow into tomorrow. Don't go to bed mad about this and wake up mad about it again. Set a time limit on that anger. Unlimited anger with the free rein of time gives the devil a foothold. Do you know what a foothold is? Think of it like this – if a bad guy is chasing you and you run into your house, but he sticks his foot in the door before you get it closed, that's a foot hold. With his foot in the door, he can gain access and do damage. It might only be a 3 inch crack, but if he gets his foot in the door, then you are left vulnerable. That's what anger without a time limit does in your life – it lets the devil get his foot in the door to your life. That small opening gives him access to do great damage. It may not feel like it, but even that justified anger that lingers can make you spiritually vulnerable. There comes a point with anger where we almost cherish it. We find delight in replaying the story, retelling the events, and rekindling the anger. The more people we can get to join us in that anger, the better. But that's only better for the enemy. Now he has greater access to more hearts. Footholds are everywhere, and we are creating them! 1 Corinthians 13:6 TPT says, “Love finds no delight in what is wrong.” Really think about that. We are called to love. That is our purpose and our mission. Love finds no delight in what is wrong. That means when we are living according to the way God has called us to live, we don't happily point out and talk about what is wrong. We don't joyfully retell the story about what is wrong or who is wrong. Why are we making our conversations all about what is wrong? We have to stop that! Find something better to talk about. My goodness, there has to be something better to talk about. And here's the thing … someone just has to turn the conversation and redirect it to what is right … I'm pretty sure God has asked YOU to be that person. I often make it a daily goal to “take no delight in what is wrong”. I can fall into the trap of watching something bad unfold and secretly enjoy the show. I caught myself just yesterday watching an angry old man on the train to Rome causing a ruckus for everyone around him. It was delighting to my eyes like entertainment. I wanted to hear the fighting. I wanted others to get involved. I was literally delighting in what was wrong, and that simply IS NOT LOVE. The enemy had a little opening to my heart and actively began working on my dislike of this human who I didn't even know. My facial expressions told everyone else on that train that I was with them in their anger towards an old man who was clearly having a very bad day. That's not right. That's not God's way. In fact, I'm just actively doing the devil's work for him. I'm part of the problem. Paul gives us the solution earlier in Ephesians 4:2, “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.” Can we just make allowance for each other’s faults? Can we be tolerant with one another? Can we remember that sometimes people have bad days? Can we remember that some people are carrying heavy burdens within that we know nothing about? Can we assume the best instead of the worst and allow space for our differences without anger? This isn't just for strangers on a train, this is for the people we live with. Can we just allow space for rough mornings, overwhelmed minds, and poor choices of words sometimes? Can we give grace where they are wrong without making it all about us? You know what that does – that slams the door on the enemy. If his foot was trying to slip in there, his toes got smashed! The devil gets no foothold because my anger isn't necessary and it's simply not allowed here in the things that ultimately don't even matter. But when it does matter – and sometimes it does – what's important for us to remember is SET A TIME LIMIT on that anger. Don't let the anger grow and fester. If you keep replaying the offense, the resentment will grow and bitterness will take root. And that bitterness is like the angry grapevine that attaches to you and creates destruction. It just won't let go. It will wrap around you and force its way in. The foothold given to the devil becomes his stronghold. And if he has a stronghold on your heart, then you become the angry bitter woman you never wanted to be – and the woman no one wants to be around. Clinging to anger helps the enemy accomplish his work. He is the accuser, the divider, the destroyer, the condemner … and we partner with him in our anger and begin doing his work for him. We accuse instead of restore. We divide instead of reconcile. We wound instead of heal. We rehearse offenses rather than extend grace. This isn't love … this is the enemy's trap and we fall right in and become his slaves in his nasty work. When you feel angry, deal with it quickly. Don't nurture it. Don't let it settle it. Set a time limit and when the time is up, let it go. Your heart NEEDS YOU TO LET IT GO NOW. Before the sun goes down, let it go.

The town in popular imagination is quaint, quiet, full of rows of white picket fences and rose bushes. The town that CCM knows is anything but. It is a million moving parts, it is finance and IT, tax collectors and economic development. And as many of you know, the captain that steers that ship in a few dozen of Connecticut's towns is the town manager. Joining us today is Michael Paulhus to talk about innovative ideas that he is undertaking in Plainville that are anything but plain.

The study you should read this week Researchers took 55 untrained older adults (average age 68) and tested four different cycling methods over four weeks: standard cycling, hypoxic cycling, blood flow restriction, and eccentric cycling. Every group improved equally. Plain cycling was just as effective as every fancy method they tested. Plus: why most of the plans I built this week were about adding intensity, not volume, and what that means for your training this summer. Study: Citherlet et al. (2025).

During today's EP 'The Don' will spotlight how female nature is to naughty, secretive, risque and to desire the guilty pleasures of life. Although, it's the human nature of all mankind; it is more pronounced in women. Why? The nature of women, is to be deceitful, cunning and promiscuous for good fortune and even game. Why do good girls like bad boys? Because of a condition called The Madonna/Whore complex. Women engage in duality between the nice guy and the bad boy.

Five shers. No resolution. Just a loneliness so precise it feels like it was written about you.Javed Akhtar's ghazal moves from a quiet, devastating opening — two people, two separate gods, two separate worlds — through indifference, exhaustion, and the slow death of even grievance, until it lands on an image that stays with you: a scream that rose, echoed, and sank, while everyone listened and no one moved.Kshitij and Burair sit with what makes this ghazal hit so hard — not ornate imagery or classical weight, but the opposite. Plain words. Enormous ache. And a radif, bhi nahin, that closes door after door until there's nothing left.

In this quick and entertaining Ward Radio Angel Studios Special, host Cardon Ellis chats with director Tanner Christensen and legendary cinematographer/father T.C. Christensen about their inspiring documentary Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.Ben was born with Crouzon Syndrome and faced surgeries, bullying, and limitations — but he chose to stand out. He became a 3-time state wrestling champion, UVU's first NCAA All-American, and a world champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.Tanner and T.C. share father-son banter, how they turned a true story into a dramatic narrative documentary (not a slow wildlife film), the real challenges of being LDS filmmakers, brutal ward feedback, “prophet without honor” moments, and the powerful message: you weren't born to blend in — choose to stand out.Funny, honest, and uplifting in just 13 minutes!Watch the full movie Standout on Angel Studios now!#StandoutMovie #BenKjar #TannerChristensen #TCChristensen #WardRadio #AngelStudios #LDSFilmmakers #InspiringStoryChapter Markers (Timestamps):00:00 Welcome & Intro to the Q&A00:15 Who's the Better Filmmaker?

In this inspiring full episode from Ward Radio at Angel Studios, Cardon Ellis sits down with Tanner Christensen, Brad Witbeck, and T.C. Christensen to discuss the powerful new documentary:Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.Born with Crouzon Syndrome—a rare craniofacial condition—doctors told Ben his life would be limited by surgeries, bullying, and differences. Instead, with incredible family support and faith, he defied the odds to become a 3-time high school state champion, Utah Valley University's first NCAA All-American wrestler, and a world champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.This conversation dives deep into the making of the film, the real-life triumphs and challenges, the power of community (especially in Latter-day Saint culture), and why this story transcends any one faith—it's about choosing to stand out rather than blend in. Funny, emotional, and motivating, this is a must-watch for anyone facing adversity.Watch the full movie Standout on Angel Studios or digital platforms.Use coupon code: FREEANGELSHIRT on the WardRadio.com Merch Store*(WHEN YOU BUY ANY SHIRT OR HAT)******YOU MUST STATE YOUR SIZE IN THE MESSAGE BOX OF YOUR ORDER*****FIRST TEN (10) CUSTOMERS#StandoutMovie #BenKjar #InspiringStory #OvercomingAdversity #Wrestling #Faith #LDS #AngelStudiosChapter Markers:00:00 Intro & Welcome to Angel Studios01:20 The Standout Story: Ben Kjar's Journey with Crouzon Syndrome03:45 Wrestling Against the Odds – State Champion & All-American06:30 How the Film Was Made – Documentary vs. Entertainment09:15 The Role of Family, Community & Faith12:40 Universal Lessons: Standing Out in Any Culture15:50 Working with Family & Behind-the-Scenes Stories18:30 Final Thoughts & Why You Need to Watch This MovieJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

In this hilarious and insightful Ward Radio episode, Cardon Ellis sits down with filmmaker Barrett Bergen (director of the new Mormon comedy short Java Jive) and James Hall to unpack the future of Latter-day Saint comedy.Why is so much "Mormon humor" either too insider for outsiders or overly sanitized? How can we create comedy that's authentically LDS yet universally funny — like Jewish comedians have mastered for generations? They discuss ditching the "cringe" and shame around everyday faith quirks (like coffee on a date), embracing confidence in our identity, and why self-deprecating humor earns respect.Plus: Clips and breakdown of Java Jive — a future missionary on a date with a non-member, forbidden fruit (coffee) on the menu, and the hilarious fallout. A must-watch for anyone who loves clean comedy, LDS culture, or wants better Mormon media.If you've ever felt awkward explaining the Word of Wisdom or wondered why ex-Mormon voices stay obsessed, this episode nails it.#MormonComedy #LatterDaySaints #JavaJive #LDSHumor #ChristianComedy #WordOfWisdom #BookOfMormon00:00 Intro: The Cringe of Trying Too Hard to Be "Normal"00:45 Why Mormon Comedy Matters & Cultural Confidence01:40 Guest Introduction: Barrett Bergen & Java Jive Overview02:45 The Legacy of LDS Comedy — What's Missing?04:10 Learning from Jewish Comedy: Authentic Yet Universal Humor05:50 Breaking Down Java Jive Scenes — Coffee Date Awkwardness07:30 The Real Absurdity: Self-Loathing vs. Owning Your Faith09:20 Missionary Moments, Ex-Mormon Identity & Social Fabric12:00 Advice for Creators: Be Bold, Be You15:30 Hollywood Experiences & Everyone Has Their "Crazy"18:45 Film Breakdown Continued: Lies, Escalation & Comedy Timing22:10 Shame in LDS Culture vs. Embracing Identity26:00 Pluralism, Nuance & Lasting Testimonies30:15 More Java Jive Clips & Audience Reactions35:40 The Power of Self-Deprecating Humor & Respect39:20 Future of Mormon Media & Bold Storytelling43:50 Final Thoughts: Own It Because You Can't Escape It46:30 Closing Reflections & Call to ActionJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Life isn't always going to get easier, but God can always offer you peace. Solutions may not come today, but peace can. Oh what a place to find yourself in life when you realize peace can be yours precisely where you are with things exactly as they are. You don't have to live so upset, so stressed, so unsettled and so unsure. The name you need to call on is Yahweh Shalom. Yahweh, as we know from the beginning of our study of the names of God, is the covenant, relationship, promise up-holding name God reveals of himself. It is the name we speak with our breath. The name we have called on every moment of our lives by simply inhaling and exhaling. YHWH. Shalom, a word we often translate as peace – but in reality, it's so much deeper than just peace. Shalom is a state of wholeness, completion and restoration. It's a state where things are exactly as they are meant to be. Yahweh Shalom, a mighty and holy God who assures us with him things are exactly as they are meant to be. Now that is peace. I may not understand it. I am not in control of it. I don't see how it's all going to work out. But Yahweh Shalom understands completely. Yahweh Shalom is in total control. And Yahweh Shalom sees precisely how it's all going to work out, and he's predetermined that it will work out for good according to his eternally good plan. Yahweh Shalom, the God of Peace, invites his beloved girls to trust him knowing he's got you and he's got this. Your stress is unnecessary. Your worry is unwarranted. Your ‘freak-out' is unfounded. Plain and simple, when you have a God like Yahweh Shalom, you would be foolish to not accept his peace in every situation. He will create the path for your feet. He will carry the burden for you. He will ensure the battle is won. You can trust the God of Peace. This name is introduced in scripture in the book of Judges, chapter 6. The previous chapters are a series of God's people, the Israelites, being rescued by God, then forgetting God and going astray. They would fall into slavery to evil Kings and live miserable lives. Each time their lives would get worse and worse until finally they cried out to God again for help. Then God would rescue them, restore them, and bring them peace again. But over time, they would fall back into old ways and wander away from God in a life of self and sin. Chapter after chapter, generation after generation, it continues. They're in trouble and they suffer – until they just can't suffer any longer and they call out to God – God rescues and restores – life gets better – then they wander again, forgetting God – Life gets worse, and then they're right back to trouble and suffering again. Through these chapters in Judges, sometimes we see God's people waiting a few years before calling out to God – other times we see them waiting for 20 years. Each time, as long as they waited to call on God for help, the suffering continued and life got worse. But each time they turned to God and called on him for help, he restored their peace. Without fail, as long as they delayed calling on God, their rescue and peace would wait. But also without fail when they cried out to God, he would help. The question is, why would they wait so long? Why wait 8 years? Why wait 20 years? Oh my goodness, WHY ARE YOU WAITING? This will NOT get better without God. He's waiting on you to call out to him! But, there's danger in our pre-conceived notion of what it might mean for things to “get better”. Getting better doesn't always mean fixed – getting better can mean peace in the mess and joy on the journey you didn't expect to be traveling. My family has been in a less than favorable situation for 7 years. Life with our family is far short of anything I imagined it would be. It's not what I would wish for, but let me tell you what it is … IT'S FULL OF PEACE. I'm no longer upset, angry, hurt or empty in the waiting. I have nothing but peace because we've called on God and that's what he brings. You may think calling on God immediately fixes the situation – sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. But calling on God always brings his presence, and with his presence comes an unspeakable peace. The truth is, I don't have to have this situation fixed to feel peace and joy … Yahweh Shalom has given me everything I need. I can trust he's making it right. I can trust he sees what I do not see and he is actively involved to make things exactly as they should be. Here's the truth – our God holds eternity. He's not on your timeline. He's not in a rush. He has all the time in the world to make things exactly as they should be … and he is! What he offers you and I in that process in PEACE every time we call on him. So, back to our story in the book of Judges. God's people were stubborn, always straying away from God in between getting saved, continually going back to old ways of self and sin, until they finally cry out to God again for help. By chapter 6 we find the Israelites 7 years into their current unbearable struggle of life. They were hunted and haunted by their enemies and now resorting to hiding in caves for survival. Life was the hardest it had ever been for God's people – all while God was just waiting for them to turn back to him. Judges 6:6, “So Israel was reduced to starvation by the Midianites (their enemies). Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD for help.” FINALLY – why would they wait so long? For the same reason you would wait so long. You're just sure you can make things work, until nothing works for you. You're sure this is just the way life is going to be, so you settle in to the normal of life just sucking. You discount God's power to change it for you, so you forget you can call on him. Until finally, you just can't take it anymore and God is your only way. Here's what happens when they call out on God after 7 years of waiting … God responds. He sends help. This is where an angel is sent by the LORD to a young man named Gideon who is just trying his best to gather a little bit of food and hide it so his family can survive. These conditions were absolutely as bad as they could possibly be. That's where God meets Gideon. And it's here the LORD says to Gideon, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” Then the LORD said to him (verse 16), “I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites.” Wow, what a promise from God to a young man who from the smallest clan and the least in his family , in a suppressed land struggling to simply survive, hiding in caves and starving to death. It was an impossible promise after 7 years of life getting worse and worse. But they had finally cried out to the Lord, and this was their answer. A promise of freedom, restoration, wholeness. And this is where Gideon, a small young man who was nothing but absolutely normal and easily overlooked, calls God ‘Yahweh Shalom – the God of Peace'. Had the battle been fought yet? No. Had the enemy been destroyed yet? No. Had the people even been given food to eat yet? No. But God had brought peace. Peace BEFORE the situation changed. Peace BEFORE the promise was fulfilled. Peace BEFORE peaceful conditions. While their families were still hiding in caves – while their crops were all stolen – while they were in survival mode – God brought PEACE. Peace that assured them God was making everything as it should be. Peace that God heard their cry, God was moving on their behalf, God was for them and not against them. Their enemies were still there. The oppression had not ended. But when Gideon personally encountered God, he walked away with PEACE. Peace that comes before the victory – before the change – before it's fixed – before you have an answer. What I've found in my own 7 year journey of waiting is that peace can exist before circumstances change. The world will tell you peace comes when the diagnosis changes, when the relationship heals, when the bills are paid and when the uncertainty ends. That's nothing but counterfeit and circumstantial peace. The moment you encounter the next problem, that peace will fade. But the peace offered by Yahweh Shalom is strong and steady before the change, before the fix, before the shift, and regardless of next. Jesus says in John 14:27, “I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.” If you've ever experienced the gift of his peace, then you know it simply doesn't make sense, but it's real. Philippians 4:7 tells us that God's peace “exceeds anything we can understand.” And by golly, that's exactly right! Yahweh Shalom says, “My peace can hold you perfectly BEFORE anything changes.” God's peace is strong enough to exist in unfinished, unhealed, and uncertain situations! I know, because I'm in the middle of it and yet I have immeasurable PEACE. It's here for you too, my sister. Don't wait for things to get worse. Don't wait until you just can't go on. Don't wait until you're a shriveled up piece of who you once were. Don't wait until fear has taken your identity and anxiety has crushed your spirit. CALL ON YAHWEH SHALOM NOW! His peace is truly available to you right now! Peace isn't pretending everything is okay. Peace is knowing God is still with you even when it's not. There's divine stability for you here in God's peace.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 6th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Acts 16:9: “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” The one thing I loved about Paul, the Apostle, when I read all those letters, was that he was an obedient man. He was not interested in a good idea because he knew that a good idea is not always a God-idea! When he and Silas were travelling, they were going to go to Phrygia, and the Holy Spirit said, “Don't go to Phrygia”, then to Mysia, “Don't go to Mysia, don't go to Bithynia, don't go to Troas.” He never went to any of those places in Asia, but he crossed the sea and went to Macedonia, where the Lord Holy Spirit had told him to go. It is very important to do what the Holy Spirit tells you to do, not what other people tell you to do, not to accept every invitation that comes from all over. Only do what God tells you to do. Now, I can really identify with this Macedonian call. Many of you will remember a few years back, I had a Macedonian call, and it was to Cape Town. Cape Town had had no rain for two years. They were in a terrible state, but that is not what called me. It was a Macedonian call, a young man by the name of Ashley, a very dear son in the Lord, whom I did not know. Through a daily reading of Scripture Union I was reading, I got the Macedonian call. I phoned him. He didn't even know who I was, he thought it was someone playing a trick on him, but when I convinced him that it was me, I said, “I am coming to Mitchell's Plain.”Now, folks, as soon as people heard we were going to Mitchell's Plain, they said, “You are mad. You mustn't go there because those people will hurt you.” I said, “They will not hurt me. God has told me to go there.” And they said to me, ‘But no one will come and support you because no one will go to that area.” Well, we had over 250,000 people there, and by the way, it started raining in the middle of the meeting, and I don't think it stopped since. Signs, miracles, wonders - the first time in my life, the Holy Spirit again told me to take my clothes off and give them to the young gang leaders who had come forward to give their lives, to change their guns for Bibles. It was an amazing event, probably one of the highlights of my preaching career. Today, listen to the Macedonian call! When God tells you to do something, do it. If God tells you not to do it, don't do it, and you will succeed in everything you do.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

What happens when a Division I athlete loses 40 pounds, can barely form sentences during practice, and keeps hearing from doctors that it might just be anxiety? Kamiah Gibson, a D1 women's volleyball player at Ohio State and psychology graduate student, shares how she had to diagnose herself after finding celiac disease information on TikTok, only to be told over the phone to "just eat gluten-free" days before a three-week road trip. Based on her KevinMD article, "Managing celiac disease: Overcoming the hidden social burden," this conversation reveals the gap between a celiac diagnosis and actually knowing how to live with one. Gibson describes training eight hours a day on a body that could not absorb nutrients, the isolation of being afraid to eat anywhere, and how a consumer gluten detection sensor gave her the confidence to travel and share meals with friends again. You'll hear why cross-contamination is the hidden danger that most newly diagnosed patients are never warned about, how the emotional toll of chronic illness redirected her career from pre-med to mental health therapy, and what advice she offers young adults navigating a diagnosis that reshapes every social interaction around food. If you or someone you know lives with celiac disease, this is the episode to share. Tune into our episode "2026 Cholesterol Guidelines: LDL goals, lipoprotein(a), and coronary calcium scoring," brought to you by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. For the first time in eight years, LDL cholesterol goals have changed, and preventive cardiologist Seth Baum says the new guidelines are a long-overdue course correction. He breaks down the new LDL targets for your highest-risk patients, why the LDL hypothesis should be retired in favor of the LDL fact, why lipoprotein(a) screening finally belongs in every patient's workup, what a coronary calcium score over 300 really means for how aggressively you treat, and how to talk to statin-skeptical patients without losing their trust.

A three-vehicle crash on Mill Plain Boulevard near SE 124th Avenue sent multiple patients to the hospital, including one woman whose vehicle was pinned between structural pillars after striking a large business sign. Vancouver Fire crews removed the entire passenger side of the vehicle to free her. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/vancouver-fire-department-responds-to-multi-vehicle-collision/ #VancouverFire #PublicSafety #ClarkCounty #MultiVehicleCollision #EmergencyResponse ---

The empire laughed, until the rebels started filing charges. While the media cries weak charges, the fact is that whether it is or it isn't people will be held accountable. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, but some of the new accusations are mind-blowing and disgusting, and by disgusting you won't believe it yourself. Plus, the Dems have low IQ's but their candidates for this election cycle get even dumber, Republican Representative Brando Gil is a rising star for the right, SNAP fraud stories, Brandon Johnson, and so much more on your Conservative Circus Show.
