Clare's County Dog Warden claims extra vigilance is required to combat bird flu, given the high numbers of foreign birds migrating to Ireland for the winter. It follows the confirmation of another case amongst a turkey flock in Clontibret in Co.Monaghan, despite a nationwide Poultry Housing Order came into effect yesterday morning. Over 50 different species of wild birds are expected to arrive in the country as part of winter migration patterns. County Dog Warden, Frankie Coote believes, however, the spread of the influenza has the potential to be stopped before it gets out of hand.

Every woman of God carries two mantles — nurturer and guardian. You cultivate love, but you also defend holiness. You set the spiritual thermostat of your home. And the atmosphere of your house will rarely rise above the atmosphere of your heart.Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Vigilance means watchfulness — the kind of attention a soldier gives to a fortress wall. That's what your heart is: a living stronghold where God's Spirit dwells.The enemy knows if he can contaminate the heart, he can contaminate the home. That's why his first target isn't your marriage or your finances — it's your peace. If he can steal peace, everything else collapses.Guarding your heart and home isn't about fear; it's about discernment. It's asking, “Holy Spirit, what doesn't belong here?” Maybe it's a TV show that normalizes sin, a friendship that fuels negativity, or an attitude of constant complaint. Peace doesn't survive in polluted air — it must be protected.As the gatekeeper, you decide what comes through the door. Worship invites angels. Gossip invites oppression. Gratitude invites God's presence. You can't always control what enters, but you can command what stays.Start by cleansing your heart. Unforgiveness, jealousy, pride — they all leave cracks in the wall. Confess quickly, forgive freely, and fill your home with the sound of praise. When the Word of God is spoken in your house, demons lose their footing.Guarding your home also means teaching your children spiritual boundaries — not out of control but out of covenant. Guard the dinner table. Guard your tone. Guard what voices are allowed to teach your family's values.Peace isn't the absence of chaos; it's the authority of Christ reigning in your space. You don't have to wait for calm circumstances to experience peace — you simply need to enforce Heaven's order in your home.

Matthieu 26:41 nous rappelle : « Veillez et priez, afin que vous ne tombiez pas dans la tentation; l'esprit est bien disposé, mais la chair est faible. » La prière doit toujours être accompagnée de vigilance. Le chrétien doit rester attentif, dépendant de Dieu et prêt à résister aux tentations.

This episode teaches that after God brings deliverance and promotion, you must learn the art of protection by setting boundaries to guard your spiritual oil—emotional, relational, and spiritual. It outlines signs you are leaking oil (spiritual exhaustion, resentment, lost joy), offers prophetic strategies—pause, pray, release—and calls you to solitude, Sabbath, and wise re-evaluation of alliances. The message closes with a decree and invitation: restore your rhythms, stop leaking where you are not led, and enter a season of sustained anointing and overflow by guarding what God has given you.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, tackles a silent struggle many first responders face: hyper-vigilance that doesn't switch off when the shift ends. On the job, scanning for threats is survival (Amazon Affiliate). But at home, that same mindset can turn into exhaustion, irritability, and disconnection. We explore what hyper-vigilance looks like in everyday family life, why it's so hard to shake, and how to retrain your nervous system so peace doesn't feel like danger. 5 Examples of Hyper-Vigilance at Home Constantly Scanning the Environment Always checking locks, windows, and exits—even in your own living room. Startle Responses to Everyday Sounds Jumping at noises like a slammed door or a child's toy dropping to the floor. Difficulty Relaxing in Public Spaces Choosing seats with a view of exits and never letting your guard down, even at a restaurant. Emotional Distance From Family Remaining “on duty” mode at home makes it hard to fully connect with your spouse or kids. Chronic Restlessness or Insomnia The nervous system stays on alert, robbing you of sleep and recovery. 5 Ways to Combat Hyper-Vigilance Practice Grounding Techniques Use deep breathing, mindfulness, or body scans to bring your nervous system back to calm. Create Safe Home Rituals Intentionally shift from “on duty” to “at home” with habits like changing clothes, showering, or a short walk after work. Communicate With Family About What's Happening Explain why you might seem distracted or tense, so loved ones don't misinterpret your distance. Limit Over-Stimulation at Home Turn off constant news feeds or radio chatter that keep your mind in a state of alert. Seek Professional Support When Needed Therapy, peer groups, or chaplains trained in responder culture can help you reset patterns that feel automatic.

Luke 12:35-36 stands as one of the most crucial passages for serious believers in this present hour. This scripture provides us with three essential insights: it clarifies our marching orders, instructs us on how to live faithfully amid present darkness, and helps us prioritize what truly matters as we align ourselves with God's prophetic intentions for our day.As I've meditated on this passage in light of my own spiritual journey and where I stand in God's purposes, one truth emerges with striking clarity: the Lord commands His disciples to keep their lamps burning if they are to remain relevant to His redemptive counsel and ready for His return.The Psalmist declared, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). While there are many practical applications we can draw from this imagery, I want to focus specifically on how this relates to the Lord's return. We must remain ready in service, continuing steadfastly in whatever the Spirit of the Lord has called us to do.The Enemy's Strategy: Snuffing Out Your LightThe danger we face is real and immediate: we can be derailed, distracted, or find ourselves in situations where our lamps are snuffed out by the deception of the evil one. The enemy's lies are designed specifically to extinguish the light that God has placed within us.Therefore, beloved saints and biblical students, I urge you: Do not allow the enemy's lies to turn off your lamp. Keep your hearts alert to the reality of the Lord's return. Stay ready in service. Continue faithfully in your calling. Let nothing, no deception, no distraction, no discouragement extinguish the light of God's Word burning within you. The times demand our vigilance. Our lamps must keep burning.

Leonard Peltier calls on Native Americans to come together in the ongoing fight for many of the same issues he championed in the early days of the American Indian Movement. After President Joe Biden commuted his life sentence in the deaths of two FBI agents, Peltier emerged from nearly a half century in federal prison to a hero's welcome by his supporters and dismay by federal law enforcement officials and other detractors. In many respects, he picks up where he left off, speaking up for equitable treatment for Native people and defiance against a system he says is stacked against them. We'll hear from Peltier about his life now beyond a prison cell and also discuss the coordinated effort that finally secured his release.

Encore quatre jours de suspense : « l'audience de la proclamation des résultats aura lieu jeudi, pointe le site Actu Cameroun. Ce sera à 10 h 30 à la Salle d'Audience du Conseil constitutionnel au Palais des Congrès de Yaoundé. » En attendant, jamais un scrutin présidentiel au Cameroun n'aura été aussi incertain… « Et si Issa Tchiroma Bakary était bien le prochain président du Cameroun ? », s'interroge Afrik.com. Et si l'ancien ministre et porte-parole du gouvernement, qui revendique d'ores et déjà la victoire, mettait fin au règne de Paul Biya ? « Le gouvernement avait pourtant averti, relève le site panafricain : toute proclamation anticipée des résultats serait punie de sanctions sévères. Or, malgré l'annonce publique de Tchiroma Bakary affirmant sa probable victoire, aucune mesure coercitive n'a été prise », tandis que « le candidat affichait avec force sa confiance dans les opérations de dépouillement en cours. (…) Au regard de cette posture sereine, affirme Afrik.com, le silence du parti de Paul Biya, loin d'être anodin, trahit la fragilité d'un pouvoir conscient d'avoir perdu la bataille politique. Les forces de sécurité, fidèles au président sortant, n'ont pas bougé — preuve que le régime hésite à provoquer un embrasement populaire dans un contexte déjà explosif. » Et Afrik.com de conclure : « le Cameroun est prêt à écrire une nouvelle page de son histoire et Issa Tchiroma Bakary pourrait bien en être l'incarnation. » « Le coup de hache fatal » ? Pour Le Monde Afrique, « quelle que soit l'issue du scrutin présidentiel au Cameroun, Issa Tchiroma Bakary est entré dans l'histoire de son pays. À l'instar de l'iconique John Fru Ndi en 1992, l'opposant sera parvenu à déstabiliser Paul Biya. Celui-ci, président “éternel“ depuis 43 ans à force d'élections truquées, est devenu à 92 ans, affirme le journal, la caricature de son système gérontocratique en phase d'agonie. Le “biyayisme“ – un mélange de clientélisme tribal, corrompu et répressif – se meurt depuis des années. Mais personne n'avait imaginé, il y a encore deux mois, s'exclame Le Monde Afrique, qu'un de ses anciens et durables ministres, Issa Tchiroma, un homme du système pendant si longtemps, pourrait être sur le point de donner le coup de hache fatal jetant au sol un régime déjà vermoulu lors du scrutin du 12 octobre. » À lire aussiPrésidentielle au Cameroun: Issa Tchiroma Bakary accentue la pression sur les institutions en charge du processus électoral « Guerre larvée » ? Alors, constate Jeune Afrique, « pour l'heure, et alors que la compilation officielle des voix se poursuit à Yaoundé, le camp de Paul Biya semble miser sur la temporisation, pariant peut-être sur un confinement discret de l'opposant après la publication des résultats de la présidentielle et un essoufflement progressif de la contestation populaire à Garoua. La réussite d'un tel plan est toutefois tout sauf assurée, estime le site panafricain. Un diplomate à Yaoundé confiait il y a quelques jours que sa principale crainte était l'installation d'une forme de guerre larvée dans le septentrion, à l'image de ce qui se passe depuis plusieurs années dans les régions anglophones du Cameroun. » « Vigilance ! », titre pour sa part le quotidien Cameroon Tribune, proche du pouvoir. « Le gouvernement, la classe politique, la société civile et les citoyens ordinaires multiplient les appels à la préservation de la paix, face à ce qui s'apparente à un vaste projet de manipulation, voire de déstabilisation. » Mali : les militaires dépassés par le blocus imposé par les djihadistes Enfin, autre sujet, autre article à lire ce matin : cette charge du site guinéen Ledjely en direction des autorités maliennes… « Mali : la Transition à genoux devant le JNIM », titre Ledjely. Ledjely qui affirme que « les autorités de la Transition ont totalement perdu le contrôle de la situation, même si elles sont trop imbues d'elles-mêmes pour le reconnaître. Sur le terrain, précise le site guinéen, la stratégie du ciblage des camions-citernes ravitailleurs en carburant par les djihadistes s'est révélée d'une nuisance telle que les populations, faisant fi de la propagande officielle, préfèrent désormais miser sur l'autorité de fait des terroristes. Ces derniers, de plus en plus conscients de l'ascendant qu'ils exercent sur le pays, en viennent à édicter des règles qu'ils imposent aux Maliens, à l'insu du pouvoir. C'est dire que le compagnonnage avec Moscou ne donne pas les résultats escomptés, affirme encore Ledjely. Face à cette réalité, Bamako serait même engagée dans des discussions discrètes avec les djihadistes. » À lire aussiMali: les jihadistes du Jnim veulent imposer leurs règles à tous les voyageurs sur les routes

The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Hollywood and the media often paint a glamorous, high-speed picture of police work. But as Len Herstein, a Reserve Deputy in Colorado, reveals, the truth is far more complex, and far more human. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It's far more boring, far more dangerous, and far more impactful on your mental and physical health than most people realize,” Len says during a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, now available on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. This is The Truth About Being a Cop, a story about service, sacrifice, and the lessons policing can teach us all about vigilance, leadership, and life. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Late Calling to Serve At age 45, Len Herstein traded business meetings for patrol briefings. After decades in marketing and entrepreneurship, he joined the Douglas County Sheriff's Office as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff, a volunteer position that requires up to 850 hours of service per year. The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast “I do police work for free,” Len explains. “People think I'm crazy when they hear that, but for me, it's about giving back. It's about being part of the solution.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Douglas County, Colorado is located between Denver and Colorado Springs, it is one of the fastest-growing areas in the state. For Len, it's also a classroom for learning lessons that reach far beyond the badge. “Complacency Kills” — The Lesson That Changed Everything Early in his training, Len learned one of the most important principles in law enforcement: “Complacency kills.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “When you stop paying attention, when you assume things are safe, that's when the danger strikes,” he says. “That lesson hit me hard, and it applies to every part of life and business.” This revelation became the inspiration behind his book, Be Vigilant! Strategies to Stop Complacency, Improve Performance, and Safeguard Success, where Len connects lessons from policing to the world of leadership and marketing. The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Lessons for Business, Marketing, and Leadership Before becoming a Deputy, Len spent more than 30 years in the corporate world, building brands for Coca-Cola, Campbell Soup Company, and Nabisco. He later founded ManageCamp Inc., where he produced 19 annual Brand ManageCamp marketing conferences, attracting leaders from companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. But his time in law enforcement taught him something no boardroom ever could. “Policing forces you to be aware, to anticipate threats before they appear,” Len says. “That's exactly what businesses need to survive in today's world. Complacency can be fatal, whether you're on the street or in the C-suite.” His blend of law enforcement experience and marketing expertise has made him a sought-after speaker and thought leader, teaching organizations how to build vigilance into their culture and operations. Why Complacency Is the Real Enemy “Success can be deadly,” Len explains. “When things are going well, you stop looking for threats. You stop improving.” The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado. A Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast.  He warns that complacency doesn't just affect performance, it affects people. It can lower morale, waste money, and create the kind of blind spots that competitors exploit. “The same mindset that keeps a cop alive can keep a company thriving,” Len adds. “Vigilance isn't paranoia, it's preparation.” These lessons resonate across industries, especially in a digital landscape where Facebook, Instagram, and social media marketing can shift overnight. “Online, one wrong move can damage your brand,” he says. “Vigilance protects both reputations and relationships.” The Human Side of the Badge Herstein's experience as a Reserve Deputy in Colorado also sheds light on the emotional and psychological toll of the job. “You see the best and worst of humanity, sometimes in the same shift,” he shares. “It's not just about enforcing laws; it's about understanding people, de-escalating conflict, and protecting those who can't protect themselves.” He believes those same principles, humility, empathy, and awareness, are vital for leaders in every field. “If you lead a team, you're responsible for their safety and success,” he says. “That's what policing teaches you every single day.” The Truth About Being a Cop: Lessons From a Reserve Deputy in Colorado.

We've all heard about the exciting side of AI: new tools, faster workflows, and creative possibilities that seem endless. But there's another side of this technology that doesn't always make the headlines. The one that's darker, riskier, and potentially dangerous for small businesses and creators like us.This week, I'm joined by Ramon Ray, speaker, entrepreneur, and Bitdefender's Small Business Ambassador. Ramon's spent years helping entrepreneurs protect their businesses while building powerful personal brands. In this episode, we unpack what's really going on behind the scenes with AI development, from the rise of deepfakes to the new wave of cyber threats, and how you can stay one step ahead.SummaryRamon shares real-world stories of scams, hacks, and impersonations that are becoming more sophisticated thanks to AI. We talk about how creators and small business owners can protect themselves without becoming paranoid, what cybersecurity tools are worth using, and why awareness and simple systems can make all the difference.We also explore how the same technology that enables AI-driven attacks can be used for good, how to build trust with your audience in a world of fakes, and why strengthening your personal brand might be the best form of digital armor. It's a practical, eye-opening conversation about how to stay smart and secure while still showing up online.Key TakeawaysAwareness is your first defense: The biggest risk is assuming you're safe. Vigilance and small daily habits prevent most attacks.AI raises the stakes: Deepfakes and voice cloning are real threats. Set up verification systems and “safe words” for family, clients, or teams.Keep your business a hard target: Use two-factor authentication, strong passwords, and cybersecurity tools like Bitdefender on all devices.Train your audience, too: Teach clients and followers what real communication from you looks like to prevent scams and impersonation.Protect your brand presence: The more consistent and recognizable your voice and visuals are, the harder it is for bad actors to fake you.Balance visibility with safety: Share authentically but thoughtfully—delay travel posts, keep some details private, and post smart.ResourcesRamon Ray: zoneofgenius.comBitdefender: bitdefender.com Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15SocialMediaNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

When our smallest patients need anesthesia care, their immature systems present unique challenges that demand specialized knowledge and vigilance. The risk of postoperative apnea in former preterm infants has long been recognized, but the evidence guiding management continues to evolve.Join Dr. Alli Bechtel and pediatric anesthesiologist, Dr. Eva Lu-Boettcher as they explore the physiological vulnerabilities that make premature infants susceptible to respiratory complications after anesthesia. The conversation delves into the complex interplay between immature respiratory control centers and anesthetic agents, highlighting how premature infants respond differently to hypoxia and hypercapnia compared to their full-term counterparts.Drawing from landmark studies and current literature, this episode offers clear, evidence-based recommendations for postoperative monitoring based on post-conceptual age and risk factors. You'll learn about the inverse relationship between post-conceptual age and apnea risk, the critical timing of apnea events, and practical guidelines for determining which patients require extended monitoring. The detailed discussion of monitoring protocols provides a roadmap for keeping vulnerable infants safe during the high-risk postoperative period.What makes this episode particularly valuable is its practical approach to clinical decision-making. Whether you're determining if a 50-week post-conceptual age infant can be discharged after six hours of monitoring or establishing protocols for term infants who receive opioids, you'll find actionable guidance supported by the latest evidence. As Dr. Lu-Boettcher notes, ongoing meta-analyses and micro-analyses promise to further refine these recommendations in the near future, highlighting the dynamic nature of patient safety practices in pediatric anesthesia.Curious about how your institution's protocols compare to current best practices? Wondering when it's truly safe to discharge a former preterm infant after anesthesia? Listen now to enhance your understanding of this critical aspect of pediatric anesthesia safety and help ensure that no child is harmed under your care.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/273-breathless-moments-when-premature-babies-need-extra-vigilance/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

 “You cannot learn the Self, you cannot learn Consciousness, you cannot learn Love, you cannot learn Trust, but you can learn how you deny that.” After an essential experience of self-realization, we can re-identify with the definitions and concepts we hold about ourselves in our mind. How do we resolve the paradox of recognizing oneself as pure consciousness and being human, living an ordinary life? In this lively exchange, Gangaji speaks to the “ABCs” or  the “how” of falling back into patterns of egoic identification.    Learn more about Gangaji  Gangaji's Event and Program Schedule About Finding Home and Gangaji's Media Library  

We explore the often-overlooked importance of spiritual foundations in both personal life and national identity, emphasizing how our religious freedoms were hard-won by previous generations who faced persecution simply for reading the Bible. The home and family serve as the foundation for cultural transformation, with parents having the greatest opportunity to shape future generations through intentional spiritual guidance.• Our founding fathers recognized the Bible's importance, even passing acts of Congress to ensure Bible availability during the Revolutionary War• Marriage guidance from Colossians 3:18-21 provides timeless principles for healthy family relationships• Parents build national culture by making home a refuge rather than just a "pit stop" between activities• Vigilance and spiritual alertness are necessary as we don't know when Christ will return• Andrew Jackson warned that America's greatest threats come from within, not from foreign powers• Ideologies incompatible with liberty include socialism, communism, and "Christless conservatism"God bless you all, God bless your families and marriages, and God bless America and your nations wherever you are in the world.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Send us a textThis discussion on ways to improve MASH patient management comes from the early July roundtable on "Major Issues of the First Six Months of 2025." As a reminder, that roundtable included the three co-hosts (Louise, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green) Louise drives this conversation based on two related issues she sees emerging: (i) increasing opportunities for motivated patients to manage their own health and (ii) managing the total patient in an environment where people may be taking incretin agonists as if they are consumer drugs. With increased access to scanning, providers can monitor patients (and patients can self-monitor) more closely. However, some of the issues a provider might find are tricky: patients who undertake what Louise describes as "the sneaky areas patients think are normal, but are probably contributing to disease" due to miseducation or no education on healthy eating and lifestyle, or patients purchasing and using incretin agonists through consumer channels, but possibly at subtherapeutic doses. Vigilance and probing are key here, but health systems will need to train more people on the types of probing that uncover underlying issues and behaviors that patients mistakenly believe to be healthy. The discussion also extends to the role of NITs in diagnosis and patient management, and how providers need to shift the paradigm away from describing a patient by fibrosis stage and instead focus on the amount of fat in the liver and its overall suppleness.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6 Episode 13 Louise Campbell, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green continue their discussion of some major issues from earlier this year, while co-authors Aleksander Krag and Stine Johanset join Roger to discuss their recent publication in The Lancet, titled "Screening for Advanced Liver Disease." 00:04:45 - Major Issues of the First Six Months: Integrated Patient ManagementLouise drives this conversation based on two related issues she sees emerging: (i) increasing opportunities for motivated patients to manage their own health and (ii) managing the total patient in an environment where people may be taking incretin agonists as if they are consumer drugs. With increased access to scanning, providers can monitor patients (and patients can self-monitor) more closely. However, some of the issues a provider might find are tricky: patients who undertake what Louise describes as "the sneaky areas patients think are normal, but are probably contributing to disease" due to miseducation or no education on healthy eating and lifestyle, or patients purchasing and using incretin agonists through consumer channels, but possibly at subtherapeutic doses. Vigilance and probing are key here, but health systems will need to train more people on the types of probing that uncover underlying issues and behaviors that patients mistakenly believe to be healthy. 00:21:02 - Newsmakers: Aleksander Krag and Stine Johansen discuss Screening for Advanced Liver DiseaseLast month, The Lancet posted online an article from Stine Johansen, Fredrik Åberg, Emmanuel Tsochatzis and Aleksander Krag, titled "Screening for Advanced Liver Disease." The article aims to update the Wilson and Jungner criteria, originally developed in 1960, to address modern needs and issues. In this conversation, Professor Krag and Dr. Johansen join Roger Green to discuss their article. There are many nuances and high points to cover in this thoughtful, fairly lengthy conversation, but the key point is that screening a mass population for HCC or cirrhosis has an entirely different set of issues and criteria compared to the screening usually discussed on this podcast, which involves identifying a population at increased risk for MASLD or MASH and screening them. 00:54:42 - Major Issues of the First Six Months: Changes in US Health Policy and Potential for Dynamism in the In-Office Scanning Market Roger drives this conversation, focusing on two very different, yet very important issues: the first is the increasing dynamism of the in-office scanning market, with leader Echosens developing new products and services, while companies like e-Scopics, Sonic Incytes, and Mindray (Hepatus) are introducing new devices with competing profiles. Roger discusses the idea that some scanners keep all data resident in the machine, while others send it immediately to the cloud. Louise suggests that we should welcome any reliable scanning device to the market. Separately, he lists some concerns about how the Trump Administration's focus on cutting services to the poor, coupled with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s distrust of pharmaceuticals and mainstream health research, might limit the number of Americans with access to healthcare and the kinds of care they can access. At the end of this conversation, Roger asks Jörn and Louise what they consider major issues for the next six months.01:11:40 - Business Report and Wrap-Up

Global Outreach Director Marissa Armit reflects on the complexity of grief—beyond death to losses of friendship, ability, trust, and identity—and warns how regret can stall repentance and erode confidence in God's forgiveness, pointing to Proverbs as a God-given blueprint for perspective. She closes by reading Proverbs 4:23-25 to encourage a forward-looking, wisdom-shaped life.

Are we enduring in watchfulness, or fainting in the fight? The Christian life is a long race and a spiritual battle. Strength comes by fixing our eyes on Jesus. He's called us to wear His armor and stand firm. Will He find us praying when He returns? Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the current political landscape, focusing on the actions of Democrats, particularly Gavin Newsom, and their strategies to maintain power through gerrymandering and electoral manipulation. He emphasizes the importance of vigilance in protecting individual freedoms and the Second Amendment. The conversation also touches on cultural shifts, particularly among younger generations, as they embrace traditional values and push back against cancel culture. The episode concludes with a critique of the Brady Campaign's narratives surrounding gun control and violence in America. Takeaways The left is actively trying to manipulate electoral maps to maintain power. Vigilance is essential in protecting freedom and individual rights. Democrats often project their own tactics onto their opponents. Cultural shifts are occurring as younger generations reject cancel culture. The Brady Campaign's arguments against gun rights are flawed and misleading. Gerrymandering is a tactic used by both parties, but Democrats are particularly aggressive. Political discourse has become increasingly polarized and aggressive. The importance of supporting organizations that defend Second Amendment rights. Younger generations are reclaiming their freedom and individuality. The narrative around gun violence often ignores important context and data.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have the servants recline at table, and proceed to wait on them.” Luke 12:35–37Vigilance, hard work, determination, attentiveness, fidelity—these are some of the qualities that Jesus is speaking about. To “gird your loins” means that you are immediately prepared for some challenging task. You are ready for the hard work ahead and are committed to it. To “light your lamps” implies that you are not in the dark but that your mind is enlightened in such a way that you are able to see that which is the will of God.As we go through life, it is easy to become complacent in the things of faith. It is easy to become lazy, disinterested, distracted, and unfocused. This parable goes on to speak of a thief who tries to break into a house in the middle of the night. This is Jesus' way of saying that the evil one, with his lies and attacks, is constant, vicious, forceful, and unpredictable. For that reason, we must never grow tired of being vigilant in the spiritual life and must always be attentive to the light of God's voice.How attentive are you to the mission of Christ on a daily basis? This is an essential question to answer honestly. Most people will find that they become distracted from the mission God has given to them. We experience countless things every day that compete for our attention. Many of those competing voices might not appear to be sinful. For example, perhaps a certain hobby has become the dominant focus of your free time. Or perhaps responsibilities at work have spilled over into your family time. Or perhaps some painful or even enjoyable experience has had your full attention for some time. Though it is obvious that sinful distractions in life are evil, it might not always be as obvious that there are many other neutral distractions that are a real problem. The problems they can produce are a lack of attentiveness to the will of God and a lack of readiness to engage the will of God the moment He calls.Imagine, for example, that a very important person calls you to ask for a favor. Most likely you would drop all you were doing and respond immediately. But, sadly, when the King of the Universe attempts to speak to us and inspire us to some mission, we can be too distracted to even listen, let alone respond with immediacy and zeal. This is a problem. If, however, a person is continually attentive to the voice of God and responds to His interior promptings as soon as they are received, then Jesus says that this person is truly blessed and that He will “have the servants recline at table, and proceed to wait on them.” In other words, the result of being vigilant in our attentiveness to the inspirations of God is that God Himself will reward us with His service. He will invite us to the table of spiritual rest, peace, joy, and fulfillment. He will serve us His mercy, which will be more than we could ever imagine. Reflect, today, upon the call from God to always be attentive to His voice the instant He speaks. Reflect upon how aware you are of His constant presence in your life and His ongoing communication. Know that if you can form a habit of always listening, then you will never miss out on the grace-filled mission given to you by our Lord. Always listen to Him, seek out His still and gentle voice, and be ready to respond to Him every time He calls. My ever-speaking Lord, You have so much to say and so much to reveal. Please enlighten my mind and strengthen my resolve to always listen to you and respond with all my heart. Your will is perfect and will lead me to a life of the deepest joy and fulfillment. May I believe this with all my heart and act accordingly. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe Stock Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Read OnlineJesus proposed a parable to the crowds. “The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.” Matthew 13:24–25This parable begins in a very good way. It states that good seed was sown. In other words, the pure Gospel was preached into good soil. This should be understood as any situation where the preacher is truly effective and where the Gospel reaches many ears and is planted in many hearts. This is worth rejoicing over. But this parable quickly points out that those responsible for guarding the good soil in which the Word of God was planted, failed in their duty to protect it. As a result, the “enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat.” In other words, the evil one also had sown his lies into the hearts of those who heard the Word of God, and those lies took root and began to grow.This is a clear description of the world we live in today. First, it's a description of the hearts of many Christians who have heard the Word of God and have responded, only to also struggle with doubts, confusions and lies sown by the evil one. But it is also a clear description of the world as a whole and even of the Church on earth. There are many divisions within societies and even within the Church. There are many competing voices. And among those whose hearts are good soil, it can be hard to distinguish between that which is from God and that which is a subtle deception from the evil one.The weed referred to in this parable is called cockle. Cockle was a weed that, as it grew, looked much like wheat. It was very difficult to distinguish from wheat until the grain began to appear. But when the grain did begin to appear, it was clearly distinguishable. And if the cockle were to accidentally be ground in with the wheat, it would cause nausea when eaten.The parable is quite clear. The lies that the evil one sows in the hearts of the faithful, those with fertile hearts, are very subtle, especially at first. It is easy for those subtle lies to confuse us. The evil one rarely succeeds in misleading the faithful through grave and obvious errors. Therefore, he deceives with small errors. As a result, the error is often not understood until much later as the fruit is born. The result is division, confusion, conflict and the like—conflict within our own souls, within our world and even within our Church.What is the solution? Vigilance. We, as followers of Christ, must be exceptionally vigilant in regard to that which we allow our hearts to receive. Just because something sounds good at first doesn't make it good. This is why we have the Scripture, the Magisterium of the Church and the teachings of the saints. We must constantly examine all that we allow into our hearts, our families, our world and our churches in the light of the pure and consistent teachings of our faith. And when we see divisions, this is a clear sign of some subtle error that has crept in. In the end, at the harvest time, when we all face Christ our Lord at our judgments, He will separate the good from the bad. But for our part, vigilance is essential so that only the pure seed of God's Word is received by us and sown by us.Reflect, today, on your own soul as fertile ground. What “seed” is sown there? What do you allow to penetrate your heart and take root? Are you vigilant, remaining attentive to the ways that the evil one tries to mislead you through subtle lies and errors? Ponder these questions honestly, and if you find conflict and confusion in your life, look more deeply at the source of these troubles. If there are lies that you have allowed into your own life, then turn them over to our Lord so that He can remove them at the proper time.Most holy Word of God, You are the living Word who sows seed upon the fertile ground of our Hearts. You plant Yourself in the hearts of those who believe so that Your life can bear good fruit in the faithful. Please sow the seed of Your Word in my own heart, dear Lord, and protect me from the deceptions of the evil one. As You do, I pray that You bring forth an abundance of good fruit through me.
