This postgame speech from Justin Fields about how God is real is worth 2 min of your time.
He went from crying in his closet this week after all the hardships of this year, to leading the New York Jets to their first win of the season.
“Dinners with DeMar” A Thread
I recently came across an article that announced a new project that National Basketball Association (NBA) All Star, DeMar DeRozan has recently released, "Dinners with DeMar."
In the trailer, DeMar talks about his upbringing in an urban area and it not being the norm to discuss your mental health or the things you see on a daily basis.
I'll admit, I've only watched the trailer, but to say I am hooked is no understatement, I will be watching all of the episodes.
So, if you have 1:39, watch the trailer and I'm sure you'll be heading straight to the first episode like I am.
As a Christian, I cannot help but connect this with the many stories in the Bible regarding Jesus having a meal with people, even until his final days.
"When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve." Matthew 26:20
The other reason I'm looking forward to this series is because of the setting. DeMar states in the opening "“Some of the greatest conversations that I’ve ever had and witnessed was at a dinner table."
I have to be honest, I had no idea what therapy was until I joined Talkspace in October of 2021. But, over the course of the past 2 1/2 years, I've learned how beneficial it is to learn your emotions, talk about them, and have someone to unpack things with.
While I can't relate to growing up in Compton, as the son of a farming and blue collar family, I can certainly relate to not opening up about your feelings or emotions. I learned how to "pull myself up by my bootstraps," literally and figuratively.
Of course, the father does, and he is pleased with the child’s present. It is all very nice and proper, but only an idiot would think the father is sixpence to the good on the transaction.” - C.S. Lewis
