Novak Djokovic just said being bored is the most creative state a child can be in.
His son is 10 and his daughter is 7.
He says when his son told him he was bored after a morning of ping pong, kayaking, and soccer, he sat him down for a conversation most parents avoid.
"It's okay to be bored sometimes. When you're bored, it doesn't mean that you have to instantly take a book or a screen. You need to also learn how to be with your thoughts."
Djokovic says boredom is when creativity finally shows up, and it's also when everything you have been suppressing through your phone comes to the surface.
Most parents are protecting their kids from the only state that grows them.

Ella Langley spent a few minutes opening up and discussing her relationship with Christ during her recent show in Estero, Florida, admitting “it might seem like I’ve got it figured out, but let me tell you I do not.”
Today is Ascension Day, the day Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven, 40 days after the Resurrection.
For 40 days Jesus remained on Earth to prove he had truly risen from the dead. He appeared to his disciples—teaching them, strengthening their faith, and confirming that He had truly conquered death. Especially to Thomas who had to literally touch Jesus's glorified body to believe it 😂
Then, in their presence, in the Mount of Olives, after one final blessing He ascended.
As He did a cloud took Him away from their sight, echoing the same divine signs seen in Exodus and at the Transfiguration.
This moment was not a departure in the sense of loss, Jesus wasn't going away. He was going to the Father to reign in glory. He was enthroned at the right hand of the Father.
The Ascension makes something crystal clear: Christ reigns now. He rules over Heaven and Earth.
But most importantly we must remember: He will come again. Just like the angels said "He will return.
Until that day, the mission continues: to live as witnesses of what has been seen and received.
To spread the Faith to all corners of the world and to live according to His teachings.
"Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them" - John 14,21
If your child plays sports and wears shoes constantly from age 5, you may be setting them up for injuries they won't see coming until much later.
Chong Xie has produced two world champions and trains elite UFC fighters.
He says the reason Brazilians dominate soccer and Western athletes keep tearing ACLs comes down to one tissue:
Fascia.
Modern shoes silence the 200,000 nerve endings on the bottom of your foot.
The fascia stops developing properly when that input is missing.
Your muscles then start working in isolation, which is when injuries become unavoidable.
Xie says the foot is the body's first sensory organ from the ground. Children who develop barefoot grow stronger fascial connections than children who don't.
If your child plays sports, let them train barefoot regularly.
The foundation they build now is the body they'll inherit later.

When Jesus encountered the woman caught in adultery (John 8):
He told the woman, "He didn't condemn her", but He didn't say, "go live your truth and be your authentic self."
He said, "go & sin no more."
Jesus doesn't affirm people in their sin, He calls people to repent of it.
Steak ‘N Shake Chief MAHA Officer says the chain will switch to grass fed, grass finished beef nationwide starting June 1.
“We are bringing fast food to what it was years ago… Real Ingredients, Real Food that everyone can trust and pronounce.”
“We’re going seed oil free and looking at any and all opportunities to remove seed oils.”
“One big move that we will be making come June 1st, we’ll be rolling out grass-fed, grass-finished beef to all locations nationwide.”
“We tested in local markets and what we expected proved to be true.”
“Customers loved it.”
I heard a story about fish suppliers who couldn’t get cod across the country without them spoiling. Freezing didn’t work. Shipping them live didn’t work.
Finally, they tried something different—they added a catfish to each tank.
Since catfish are natural enemies, the cod stayed alert the entire trip. When they arrived, they were alive and healthy.
There’s a spiritual lesson there.
Sometimes God allows “catfish” in our lives—people who challenge, question, or even oppose our faith.
Why? Because it keeps us alert, focused, and growing.
If you’re facing that right now, remember:
👉 It may be a sign you belong to God.
👉 It will drive you closer to Jesus.
That’s a win-win.
This world isn’t your home. Stay strong—Heaven will be worth it all.

Morgan Wallen & Ella Langley — Sand In My Boots [Live @ SiriusXM]
Satan got Adam and Eve to focus on one fruit when God had given them a whole garden. That's how he works. He gets you to focus on that one thing you don't have. Instead of all the blessings you do have.
Trust that God knows what you need, and will supply it when you need it.
The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.
The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.
The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.
The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.
The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.
The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.
The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.
Now it is today.
Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.
He is confident.
He has always been confident.
The confidence has never been the problem.
The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.
