I post photos of creatures from my forest in Northern Maine so people can escape, if only for a moment, from the delirious political theater on X.
If you like my content, please consider sharing and following so others can find an escape as well.
I do NOT get paid by X . I just truly love wildlife.
This is super personal and I will probably delete it but … check on the people you think are “strong”. 💔
The past 3 weeks have extremely tough. Several personal tragedies / losses causing the worst depression I’ve ever had. I can’t shake it. 😞
I’ve lost 10lbs, no interest in food (or showering), can’t remember what laughing feels like, losing hope for a brighter future.
I just feel really lost right now. Like I don’t know who I am now, after everything that happened recently.
I’m so sorry for anyone I’ve 👻👻👻
Please pray for me and my family.
Update:
Praise God! Deo gratias!
God is merciful and good, we take whatever He giveth and praise Him also when He taketh.
God saw fit to answer all of your prayers with a 'yes'. We didn't deserve it but He gave us a gift.
My father's cancer has shrunk!!
He is responding amazingly to his therapy!!
His oncologist is thrilled with the results!!
Additionally, while the tumour itself has shrunk, there are also no metastases whatsoever. My dad is also slowly gaining weight back.
Know that I pray for all who pray for me and my dad. God willing, I will light a candle after Mass this Sunday, asking God specifically to reward each of you for your prayers and your charity.
Whatever happens down the line, God is good and faithful. I hope with all my heart to meet all of you in heaven one day 🙏❤️
Theres been times where I wanted to commit suicide . I should've prayed but God knows my heart and he's working to heal any wrongs fixing my mental and providing what I need in his time and it's going to be right
How can you profess to be a Christian and not love Israel and the Jews? Somebody explain it to me like I’m a 6 year old. Cause that’s what was taught in Methodist Sunday School from the time I was 3. It is in the very foundational text of Christianity - the Bible. And some podcaster said so doesn’t count for an answer.
I've outlined my new book and started writing it today. It's part memoir, part apologetic, chronicling my journey from Christian-hating atheist to all-in Jesus-following Christian halfway through my PhD.
In this book, you'll learn about my life prior to my conversion and the scientific and philosophical arguments that convinced me, as an atheist, that God is real and to trust the Bible.
Ashley was raped when she was 13. She got pregnant.
But Ashley REFUSED to kill her baby in an abortion.
Often we wonder what drives us, what motivates us to move forward in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, or what motivates us to get up every morning, take a deep breath and face the day.
For Ashley the answer is simple. His name is Aiden.
She was only 13 and pregnant by rape.
She is a true hero in every sense of the word. Not only did this vulnerable, frightened teenager choose life for her son, but she bravely confronted her rapist and was instrumental in his prosecution and conviction for rape.
Ashley’s supporters have stepped up and helped this young mother, showing her what we as pro-lifers are all about. Being Pro-life isn’t just about saving babies, it’s walking a long and difficult road with these women and their children. The same road all of you have been walking with Ashley and Aiden since the day we brought you their story.
Ashley perseveres because she knows what she’s doing is important.
“Being a 16 year-old mom and still being in school is one of the biggest challenges of my life,” she said a few years after Aiden was born, “but it’s also the most rewarding.”
Even though Aiden was conceived through rape, Ashley believes her son is a miracle and an inspiration.
“I swear if it wasn’t for Aiden, I wouldn’t be here today. He has impacted my life more than anyone could ever imagine at a time when I was falling apart. I was 13 years old, terrified, not knowing what the future would hold for me,” she confessed.
"God blessed me with him and I wouldn’t want my life any other way. I love my son. Aiden saved me.”
Why are people always shocked and horrified when Christians tell others about Christ and try to convert them?
That is literally the entire point of Christianity and the reason we're on earth - to bring as many people into the kingdom of Heaven as possible lol
🙏 Thank you to everyone who has helped raise awareness of Said Abdelrazek’s case and stood up for freedom of belief.
Today’s hearing has been adjourned, and the next court session is scheduled for 6 September 2026.
Your support, prayers, and advocacy continue to matter. Please keep sharing Said’s story.
It's easy to start thinking we've earned the blessings that were actually gifts from God. Be honest with yourself today and check if pride is creeping into the spaces where gratitude should be.

Today, we are distributing 3,000 T-shirts bearing the faces of our daughters and sons who were killed in the Ayatollahs’ massacres in January.
At the World Cup stadium in Los Angeles, they are with us in our hearts. We will not forget them, and we will not let the world forget them.
Some of the strongest Christians we know are quietly fighting depression, anxiety, loneliness, and doubt.
Even Charles Spurgeon battled depression.
Struggle isn't proof God has abandoned you. Nor that you're unfit to serve God.
It's proof you seek justice in an unjust world.
TWO BABIES WERE SPARED AT THE ABORTION CLINIC IN RALEIGH NC YESTERDAY! The LORD touched the hearts of two moms who decided against destroying their unborn children. To GOD be the glory for touching those mothers' hearts!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Here I am, Lord.
Not with perfect faith. Not with a perfect past. Not with all the answers.
I come as I am….broken, healed, growing, and still trusting.
Use my life for Your glory. Lead me where You want me to go. Give me the courage to obey when the path is uncertain.
My answer is yes before I know the question.
Here I am, Lord… send me. 🤍
Isaiah 6:8 ✨ “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”

There are people who will hear your vision and immediately start telling you all the reasons it can’t happen.
“That’s unrealistic.”
“You’re not ready.”
“You need more education.”
“You need more money.”
“You need more experience.”
“You need to get your life together first.”
“You should wait.”
But God has never required perfection before obedience.
If He did, Moses would have never spoken. In fact 1.5 million would have stayed in slavery!
David would have never fought Goliath. Hey I can relate for fear IS a HUGE giant!
Rahab would have never been redeemed—and that’s my hero!
Peter would have never preached—I def have speak before you think issues too!
And I certainly would have never started to reach people like me.
Some people only believe in miracles after they’ve already happened.
Some people only support the dream once it’s successful.
Some people need proof before they’ll believe.
But faith doesn’t work that way.
The people God places around you will often encourage what God has already planted inside of you. They don’t need to fully understand it. They simply recognize His fingerprints on it.
Good people don’t constantly pour water on your fire.
They help protect the flame.
They pray.
They encourage.
They speak life.
They remind you who God called you to be when you’re tired, discouraged, or afraid.
And then there’s the Holy Spirit.
The greatest Encourager of all.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t spend His time reminding you why you can’t.
He reminds you that with God all things are possible.
He doesn’t shame you for where you’re lacking.
He empowers you where you’re weak.
He doesn’t tell you to become perfect before you begin.
He walks with you while you’re becoming.
If God gave you a vision, stop asking permission from people who were never assigned to carry it.
Listen to wise counsel.
Receive correction.
Stay humble.
But never allow someone’s fear to become the ceiling over your calling.
Dream again.
Start anyway.
Trust God anyway.
The Holy Spirit is still speaking.
And God is still doing impossible things through imperfect peo
Carrying Saint Dymphna with me today because I had another seizure. It had been 7 days though! A narrow miss yesterday, and today’s seemed relatively small. Thank you to all who have prayed for me this last 6 weeks. A week seizure free is a huge blessing 🕊️🙏💜
St. Ahmed was a 17th-century Muslim Ottoman official who LEFT ISLAM and converted to CHRISTIANITY.
He noticed how transformed his Christian slaves were after attending church. Curious, he started investigating Christianity for himself.
He decided to secretly attend a Divine Liturgy. During the service, he witnessed a miracle that convinced him Christianity was true. Afterward, he sought baptism and became a Christian.
His conversion eventually became known. One day, while discussing religion with other officials, he reportedly declared that there was nothing greater than the Christian faith. That statement led to his arrest.
He was brought before Ottoman authorities, given opportunities to return to Islam, and ultimately refused. He was tortured and then beheaded in Constantinople on May 3, 1682.
