Could you use a little extra support today?

In moments of uncertainty, grief, or overwhelm, even a simple prayer Come, Holy Spirit, Come can bring peace and strength.

Take a quiet moment to pray—and trust that support will find you.#WisdomWednesday

This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.

At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking—even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.

Children are a gift from God.

What are you choosing to focus on today?

If you look for negativity, you'll find it. If you look for good, you'll find that too.

Be intentional about what you take in and choose to see the good around you. #WisdomWednesday

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has been forced to back down. Her push to hold a "Trans Period Pride" event at the Boston Public Library, in order to raise "consciousness" about transgender "men" having monthly menstruation, has been cancelled due to a massive backlash. Good! #mapoli

It's not just Amazon packages the New Bedford, Massachusetts porch pirates are taking.

37,369 American flags have been planted on Boston Common ahead of Memorial Day.

Every single flag represents a Massachusetts service member who gave their life defending our country, from the Revolutionary War to today.

Not every problem is yours to solve.

Protect your energy. Stay focused. Keep your own circus steady.

Like a lighthouse, we’re called to shine with hope, kindness, and love—but even a lighthouse needs a mirror to reflect light into the darkness.

Be that reflection for someone today. The world needs more light, and it starts with us.

Does your phone ever feel like it’s controlling you instead of the other way around?

Most of us reach for it without even thinking.

Pause. Look up. Reconnect with real life.

You’re still in charge. #wisdomwednesday

BREAKING: The man caught on video OPENING FIRE in the middle of a major Boston-area road today has been identified as VlOLENT career criminal Tyler Brown

Brown was SUPPOSED to be in prison for attempting to MURDER A COP, but a WOKE JUDGE let him out early

THESE JUDGES MUST GO!

WAY too many innocent Americans lose their lives because of these judges REFUSING to protect the public from vioIent criminals

In 2020, Brown pleaded guilty to EIGHT charges, including armed assault with intent to murder, after he fired THIRTEEN ROUNDS.

He was supposed to serve at LEAST a decade in prison, but the judge let him out after just three years.

And now he's back trying to murder people.

START HOLDING THESE JUDGES ACCOUNTABLE!

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating Chrissy, a 14 yr old giraffe, who gave birth yesterday to a healthy female calf after a quick 27-minute active labor.

The drop is natural & helps sever the umbilical cord & stimulate the calf's first breath.

Do you ever let the weather decide how your day will feel?

It is easy to wait for perfect conditions and miss the beauty already around us.

Slow down, stay present, & appreciate the moment for exactly what it is. #WisdomWednesday

Sara captured this image of a man on the sidewalk, and his obvious sad plight breaks my heart. The graffiti is stunning in its simplicity. The Jesus-like symbolism is inescapable, of course.

Indeed I wonder what He would think of the lost, the lonesome, and the doomed today?

NEW: New York City teen arrested after he body slammed a girl before stomping on her head because she didn't give him her number.

The 15-year-old girl was seen trying to avoid the thug in East Harlem as he pushed her, harassed her, and assaulted her.

The 14-year-old thug was later arrested and charged with assault.

The girl was sent to the hospital. She suffered a concussion and is in stable condition.

Never let this freak out of prison.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”
