@DavidJHarrisJr Interesting. He called King David a man after His own heart. A king who had so much blood 🩸 on his hands from war that the Lord didn’t allow him to build the temple because of it. But God definitely listened to the prayers of King David!!
I had a hysterectomy at 38 because “I didn’t need my uterus” since I had stopped having children and needed a bladder lift. No one told me of the risk of early menopause. I am a Nurse Practitioner and was never taught this either. It has been through my own journey of trying to reverse symptoms and a couple of doctors who understood these issues that I finally got on a system that works for me. But I have had the synthetics, the bio identical ones without progesterone as I didn’t need it and still had issues. I am definitely on bio identical hormones, including progesterone and will remain on them until death as far as I am concerned. I can tell when my levels drop or what happens when I don’t renew in time because the brain fog, fatigue and sleeplessness returns. I am only 62. I also practice what I preach and am an advocate for any and all of my patients.
@DerrickEvans4WV I used to work in the RGV, Texas. I can attest to the volume of births from those that cross. And yes, the hospitals get tax dollars. They also have admissions tell the women as they register that their bill is paid for with the programs available.
@myhumehealth I got one. And it NEVER works. It always tells me there was an error in the way I stand, how I was holding the handle thing or some other stupid reason. It was the worst purchase I ever did.
Just to clear the air: I’m a MAGA (Make America Great Again), Conservative, but that doesn’t mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler: not every Conservative is the same, but most of us I know share these same principles.
1. I believe America should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things right here in the USA.
2. I believe America must put itself first. We cannot pour from an empty cup. Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to save the world.
3. I believe America should stay out of endless foreign conflicts. We are not the world’s sugar daddy, and we shouldn’t act like it.
4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran at home is taken care of.
5. I believe immigrants make America stronger — when they come legally. If your first act in this country is breaking the law, you aren’t an upstanding citizen.
6. You can marry who you want. I may not agree with your lifestyle, but your life is not mine to judge, I leave that to God Almighty. That being said, I am a Christian and suggest everyone read and follow God's word.
7. I believe men are men and women are women. Surgery or hormones don’t change that. Men should use men’s bathrooms, and women should use women’s bathrooms.
8. I believe schools are for education, not indoctrination. Kids should learn math, history, reading, and science - not political propaganda. They should not be taught they were “born in the wrong body” or pushed into gender delusion.
9. I believe America is in a mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters, and it desperately needs to be addressed.
10. I believe guns aren’t the problem - people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights.
I’m a Conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives - I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way. We are strongest when Americans take care of America first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda. I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
Psalm 22. A song written by King David a thousand years before Jesus.
It opens: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The exact words Jesus cried from the cross.
But it keeps going, and it describes a scene David never lived:
“They have pierced my hands and my feet.”
“All my bones are out of joint.”
“I can count all my bones — people stare and gloat over me.”
“They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.”
David was never crucified. Crucifixion didn’t even exist in David’s time. It wouldn’t be invented for centuries.
So how does a man describe death by piercing hands and feet, and soldiers gambling for his clothes, a thousand years before it happened to Jesus exactly as written?
You know what really rattled me?
This was a photograph taken a thousand years early.
Pierced hands and feet. Gambling for the garments. Mocking crowds. Bones out of joint from hanging.
Every detail, at the foot of the cross, fulfilled.
Islam told me to doubt the crucifixion.
David described it in HD ten centuries before it happened.
You can’t erase an event that was prophesied in that much detail.
Six reasons I can't go back to Islam.
1. The Quran repeatedly affirms the Torah that existed in the 7th century. Today, thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls, we know that Torah is substantially the same Torah we have now.
2. The Quran retells stories of the prophets, but many of those details resemble Jewish oral traditions and Midrash rather than the Torah itself.
3. The claim that Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba has no clear historical or archaeological evidence behind it.
4. The Kaaba was never God's first sanctuary. Long before Islam, Scripture describes God's tabernacle, His presence, His covenant, and His instructions for worship.
5. Islam removes the biblical system of atonement. No mercy seat. No sacrifice. No Ark of the Covenant. Which leaves me asking: how is sin ultimately dealt with?
6. Jesus. Not as a theological concept. As a living Savior. I encountered Him. He pulled me out of performance-based religion and gave me peace I never found through striving.
You can debate doctrine all day.
But I can't unsee what I've seen.
I can't unknow what I've learned.
And I can't walk away from the One who changed my life.
No turning back.
Pastor Nihad, a former Kurdish Muslim, says he encountered Jesus while imprisoned by the Syrian government for political reasons. He described being trapped in a tiny cell, unable to move, with numb hands and severe pain in his body. In desperation, he remembered reading about Jesus healing the lame and prayed, “Jesus, if You are real, help me.”
Nihad says he then saw a vision of a person dressed in white entering his prison cell with a bowl of olive oil. As the oil was poured over his body, he says the pain began to leave. At one of his lowest moments, when he felt hopeless and wanted to die, the figure told him, “You are My beloved, and I love you so much.”
He later recognized the person in the vision as Jesus because he had previously read about Him in a book by Billy Graham. Six months later, Nihad was released from prison, and he now shares his testimony around the world as a former Muslim who found freedom, healing, and hope in Christ.

"God can't become a man."
That was one of my first objections as a Muslim.
I thought I was defending God's greatness.
In reality, I was limiting Him.
Think about it.
God can create a universe out of nothing.
Split the sea.
Raise the dead.
Form Adam from dust.
But becoming a man?
That's where we draw the line?
The issue was never that God couldn't do it.
The issue was that I couldn't accept that He loved us enough to.
Because if God became man, then He didn't stay distant.
He stepped into the dirt.
Into the suffering.
Into the blood.
That's not weakness.
That's authority wearing flesh.
That's glory with a heartbeat.
And when I finally cried out, "God, if You're real, show me who You are," I wasn't met by a God far away.
I met a Savior with scars.
A God holy enough to judge sin, yet loving enough to enter our world and carry it Himself.
Emmanuel doesn't mean "God far off."
It means "God with us."
And He is still alive.
Very hard to do when you are told
To see every patient in 20 minutes. You are constantly running between rooms and charting like the devil to get things done on time. Barely get a lunch. Take work home. This is what the medical world has become and no one talks about what we go through or the physical stress cost we have just to meet expectations. Wish it were different
When I was Muslim, I knew the story in Surah 2.
King Saul leads his army out, God tests them at a river — don’t drink, or you’re not with me — and only a few pass. Then they fight, and David kills Goliath. Surah 2:249-251.
Clean story. Until you open the Bible and find that the river test isn’t Saul’s at all.
It’s Gideon’s. Judges 7.
God tells Gideon his army is too big. So he tests them at the water. The men who lap like a dog go one way, the men who kneel go another. God whittles 32,000 men down to 300, so Israel can’t brag that they won by their own strength.
That’s the test. And it belongs to GIDEON. A judge. About 150 years BEFORE Saul was ever king.
You know what shook me?
The Quran took Gideon’s water test, pinned it on Saul, and then stitched the David and Goliath battle onto the end of it.
Two separate stories, from two different centuries, fused into one.
It’s the exact same thing the Quran does with Moses and Jacob. Take a detail from one hero, glue it onto another, compress the timeline.
I used to say the Bible mixed things up.
But the Bible keeps Gideon and Saul as two distinct men, 150 years apart, with two distinct stories.
It’s the later book that merged them.
And here’s what I couldn’t ignore.
Gideon’s 300 won so that no one could boast. The whole point was: the victory is God’s, not yours.
That’s the Gospel in advance. You don’t win by your strength. You win by His.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.” Zechariah 4:6.
The Bible kept the story straight because the story was going somewhere.
It was going to a cross, where God won the victory alone, so no one could ever boast they saved themselves.
When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert.
Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold.
In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4.
He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself.
Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp.
You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets.
Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85.
You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest.
The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain.
One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control.
And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time.
The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24.
It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper.
Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries.
The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it.
I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol.
Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it.
The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.
@catturd2 If President Trump and others believe that the Iranian leadership speaks truth, they are delusional. They are allowed to lie to get what they want. You will have a wounded animal mentality where they will lick their wounds and strike harder than ever at their convenience.
