Sunday Reflection – Helping Our Friends and Neighbors
There are so many people in need right now. With budget cuts to many social services and food banks, there are empty shelves and empty pockets these days. You would be surprised who you find in a food bank. Regardless, those are people who are our neighbors. Sometimes our friends have to seek help when things get tough. I believe that God wants all of us and especially those who follow him to help others in any way we can. That means giving time and talents and treasure. Things are going to be tough. We all have it in us to lend a helping hand.
Trouble On The Air Waves In America
Yesterday, congress in the USA voted to defund Public Media in America. That means that PBS and NPR, which made up a small part of the total budget, will not receive aid from the government and that will impact Public TV and Radio stations from coast to coast. This is a problem because many of those stations provide an essential informational and instructional service to communities where there isn’t a good commercial option. Everything from news to Sesame Street will be impacted. This move is an act of political aggression if you ask me.
Then came word yesterday that Late Night with Stephen Colbert is ending after May 2026. The whole show has been canceled, and that means an essential voice in calling truth to power will go silent. Stephen Colbert always spoke truth to power, and in these days that is so needed. The parent company of his network, CBS says it’s a cost-cutting move, but that isn’t true if you ask me it’s political for sure. Colbert is a decent man with a wicked sense of humor that will be sorely missed.
It’s like some folks can’t handle the truth that comes with abusing power. To me, we are on a slippery slope, and that is never a good thing. The whole thing is wrong, and I am not happy about any of this. Now we wait for the next shoe to drop, impacting the culture of the USA.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Enthusiast
Everyone is enthusiastic about something. So with that being said, that makes them an enthusiast. We all have things that make our lives better and fun.
For me, it’s several things, like church, blogging, geek life, nerd stuff, and more. I am also a Canadphile where I like all things about True North. I think it’s great to have things in life you can share with others, and that can make it more fun and foster connections.
What are you an enthusiast about?
Hey There, It’s Friday!
