@AmericaPapaBear Yep. I can relate. I worked multiple jobs all the way up to 39 weeks. Gave birth to my son just three days after my last day of teaching. We needed the income.
Pray with me

Heavenly Father,
You alone are worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. You are holy, righteous, faithful, and good. Before the mountains were formed, You were God, and from everlasting to everlasting, You remain the same.
The heavens declare Your glory, and all creation testifies to Your power. You spoke, and worlds came into existence. You sustain all things by Your mighty hand, yet You draw near to the humble and hear the cries of Your children.
I praise You for Your mercy that is new every morning, for Your faithfulness that never fails, and for Your grace that I could never earn. “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name” (Psalm 103:1).
Above all, I praise You for Jesus Christ. Thank You for the cross, for the empty tomb, for sins forgiven, for death defeated, and for eternal life secured. Jesus, You are the Lamb who was slain and the King who reigns. Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess, and all creation will declare that You are Lord.
So today, regardless of my circumstances, I choose praise. You are good when life is easy, and You are good when life is hard. My circumstances do not determine Your worthiness.
“Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised” (Psalm 145:3).
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
The biggest cheat code is optimism-maxxing. Optimists live longer, recover from setbacks faster, have healthier hearts, better relationships, and earn more. Optimists live better lives than pessimists. If you want to be healthier and more successful, be delusionally optimistic.
0 Americans have died this year of measles. 300 per year died before invention of vaccine. The U.S. is managing the current Fauci measles outbreak better than any other country.
Over 1 million Americans will die this year of preventable chronic diseases tied to our food system.
Any medical influencer only talking about measles and not talking about chronic disease is a political hack, not someone who cares about public health.
He's the President of the United States - not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don't have to support him. That's America.
But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.
You've turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn't fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.
