Just for Fun

We often only talk about the depressing or hard things that weigh heavy on us, and perhaps that is what this website is designed for? I am adding this video for Law Enforcement Officers for fun - enjoy it.

Also here is my disclaimer statement: At no time were the officers in any real jeopardy from the loss of donuts, nor was this video created with any real suspects in mind. It also must be noted that any donuts eaten, whether real or perceived were doing so of their own free will. Dentists were on stand-by just in-case a cavity broke out, and the dance moves performed in this video are not acceptable in the new dance club movements around the globe.

Any portion or depiction of this video resembling other people you may know, here are a couple of suggestions:

1. Don’t tell anyone.

2. Change your address and phone number

3. Remember once you watch this, you can’t un-see it.

4. Proceed with caution.

Also, anyone in this video resembling any other person is strictly coincidental, or potentially on-purpose - so either way, don’t worry about it.

Last disclaimer, Those portrayed in this video who were 40-years old or older- were required to sign an over 40 waiver, stating that they were 100% responsible for any injuries they may receive.

Enjoy.

Hope still wins

Afghanistan, August 26, 2021. Rest in peace.

The recent tragic events in Afghanistan, the response from the Commander in Chief to such tragedies, the despair experienced by veterans and civilians alike lead to a question, “Is hope still available?”

Several military personnel and civilians were killed on August 26, 2021, and yet I am here to enforce this truth, hope still remains, hope still exists, hope still wins.

“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air...but only for one second without hope.” This is a quote from Hal Lindsey (Harold Lee Lindsey, November 23, 1929 DOB / American Evangelist).

What do you think about this quote? We need hope, we cannot survive without it for more than a second, perhaps even less time than that. If there is no hope, there is no reason. Many of you reading this may feel convinced that there is no more hope, or perhaps there is only a false sense of hope.

We have the only living hope, found in the person of Jesus Christ. In John 15:13 we read these words from Jesus, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (King James Version).

Our brave servicemembers sacrificed their lives, they are honored, we have hope in their service, even in their death. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave His life for the sin of the world, so we would not perish but have eternal life forever with Him.

Do you have this only living hope found in Jesus?

Find your way to hope

Unlike simple stress, trauma changes your view of your life and yourself. It shatters your most basic assumptions about yourself and your world — “Life is good,” “I’m safe,” “People are kind,” “I can trust others,” “The future is likely to be good” — and replaces them with feelings like “The world is dangerous,” “I can’t win,” “I can’t trust other people,” or “There’s no hope.”― Mark Goulston MD

Although it may feel as if there is no hope, there is a hope that does not disappoint, and can help bring healing from such trauma. Through this basic webpage, it is my urgent desire to offer some additional guidance without taking away from any clinical considerations.

PTSD is mostly viewed as a mental health problem, but rarely is it looked at as a soul problem, or a wound of the soul from trauma. I will be writing and responding to these such considerations through these next several weeks and beyond. Please feel free to disagree with me (respectfully) and to email or reach out. I welcome the interaction and look forward to sharing some quotes, Scripture, other resources and offer guidance into the sacred place to help as we all journey together.

I have been diagnosed with PTSD, and believe in healing. I am learning to rejoice in my sufferings in order to help others who struggle. Perhaps you also struggle, and it is only “by accident” you stumbled into this page? I don’t think it is accidental, I believe there is a purpose you came here, maybe we can learn and grow together? Maybe you also feel deep down how there is a spiritual component to your trauma exposure, and you have tried clinical approaches but still don’t know how to move forward in this journey? I am not sure of your story, but seek to unpack mine on some level over this site, and I am prayerfully inviting you to join with me as we look into the wounds of trauma, and consider the silent wound within.

Will you join?
