A Prayer to Make the Most of Our Time with PeopleBy Lynette Kittle "As has just been said: "Today‚ if you hear His voice‚ do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." – Hebrews 3:15 Sadly‚ hearing of the loss of someone we know or love brings regret‚ thinking that if only we had known beforehand of their soon passing‚ we would have reached out‚ reconciled‚ or spent more time together. Sorrow and grief bring so many thoughts of missed opportunities discovering too late that they wouldn't be with us much longer. Especially as Christians‚ when hearing of someone's passing who didn't know the Lord‚ our first thoughts often turn to‚ "If only we had known they didn't have much time left on earth‚ we would have made sure to share the gospel with them." Having Time to DecideMy husband is a hospice chaplain‚ so in many ways‚ those who are given time frames for their end-of-life‚ are given the gift of time to make decisions. But sadly‚ for those who pass away suddenly or unexpectedly‚ time has slipped away. An end-of-life timeline gives individuals and their families time to say the things they want to say‚ to spend time together‚ and much more. In many ways‚ considering real-time death gives people precious opportunities to take care of important matters while still living. In his ministry to patients and families‚ my husband helps to reconcile them to God during the time they have left. As well‚ to settle family issues‚ reconcile with loved ones‚ and ask and receive forgiveness from each other. Each one of us has this opportunity to do the same‚ as God has called us to do so. "All this is from God‚ who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ‚ not counting people's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:18-19). Sitcoms often show characters in situations where they think they are going to die‚ confiding in each other‚ clearing the air‚ and sometimes even professing love for one another‚ all to be rescued by the end of the show. Still‚ these make-believe portrayals can motivate us to make the most of the time we have with those we love while we still have the time to do so. Sharing Christ Today‚ Like There's No TomorrowIn Luke 16‚ a rich man passes away and sees the beggar Lazarus in paradise with Father Abraham.  Calling out to them‚ he asks for him to send Lazarus over to comfort him‚ but Abraham explains. "Between us and you a great chasm has been set in place‚ so that those who want to go from here to you cannot‚ nor can anyone cross over from there to us'" (v.26). The rich man then pleads for Abraham to send Lazarus back to his family to warn them of where they're headed. "He answered‚ ‘Then I beg you‚ Father‚ send Lazarus to my family‚ for I have five brothers. Let him warn them‚ so that they will not also come to this place of torment'" (v.27). But Abraham explains how it's not possible‚ and there are people already sharing the gospel if only they would listen and receive. Although we can't go back and regain opportunities to share the gospel with those who have passed away‚ we can learn from these sorrows and make an effort to share Him with others from here out‚ like there is no tomorrow to come. Because the truth is‚ we aren't given a guarantee that they will be here next year‚ month‚ or week or even tomorrow. Let's pray: Dear Father‚Thank you for giving us the ministry of reconciliation and the privilege of being able to lead individuals to You with the message of reconciliation through Christ Jesus. Forgive us for the times we've let slip by in reaching out to others. Free us from the sorrow‚ regret‚ and grief experienced through these missed opportunities. Open our eyes to see‚ our ears to hear‚ and our hearts to recognize the times we are given to share You with those we love and those we meet along the way. Help us not to miss telling others about You but to be ready and willing to reach out to one another in every opportunity You bring before us.In Jesus' name‚ amen.

February 20‚ 2024 How To Stop an Argument Before It StartsDONNA JONES‚ COMPEL TRAINING MEMBER  Lee en español "Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor‚ for we are all members of one body." Ephesians 4:25 (NIV) During the first year of our marriage‚ my husband‚ JP‚ and I would often come home late from our jobs‚ put on our pajamas‚ and eat vanilla ice cream in front of the TV. One evening‚ as we snuggled on our sofa‚ JP got up and headed for the kitchen. When he walked back into our family room with one bowl of ice cream‚ I was surprised. "Where's my bowl of ice cream?" I wondered aloud. "What do you mean?" JP was genuinely confused. "We always eat ice cream together. Didn't you know I'd want ice cream too?" "How could I know you wanted ice cream unless you told me?" JP said innocently. He was sure his logic was airtight. News flash: Conflict is rarely logical. I shot off the couch‚ stomped into the kitchen‚ and jerked open the freezer door. Maybe it was exhaustion or low blood sugar; I have no idea why a ridiculous episode over ice cream made my blood boil. But it did. At this point‚ JP uttered a single phrase that changed our relationship forever: "Expectation without communication leads to frustration." Ephesians 4:25 says‚ "Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor‚ for we are all members of one body." Most of us never consider a failure to communicate our needs‚ wants and expectations as a failure to speak the truth - but it is. As a result‚ we create conflict in scenarios where truthful communication could help us avoid conflict. Of course‚ "put off falsehood and speak truthfully" (Ephesians 4:25) also means lies or speculations are off the table. Any word not rooted in truth is not from God and will damage a relationship. More subtle‚ though‚ are the words we don't speak‚ like silent expectations‚ details we conveniently omit‚ secrets‚ or desires we hope our loved ones will "just know." Perhaps this is why Ephesians 4:25 includes the words "each of you" and "must": For the believer‚ truthful communication is not optional. Admittedly‚ speaking the truth may feel uncomfortable if we're unpracticed in expressing our expectations and desires. We'd rather drop hints like breadcrumbs and hope our family and friends figure out what we need. However‚ when we communicate our expectations on the front end‚ we eliminate exasperation on the back end. We trade relational problems for relational peace. Expectation without communication will lead to frustration - if not immediately‚ then eventually. The following night‚ JP and I sat snuggled on the couch. But this time‚ as he made his way to the kitchen‚ I called out‚ "I'd like some ice cream. Would you mind getting me a bowl too?" Conflict averted and evening enjoyed! Lord‚ make me aware of the unspoken expectations I place on others. Help me to forsake falsehood and communicate truthfully and graciously as Your Word instructs me to do. Give me calm where there is chaos‚ and help me obey You. In Jesus' Name‚ Amen.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said there will be a hearing regarding a pesticide referenced in a study where 80% of participating Americans tested positive. “I just spoke with @RepJamesComer and we will be holding a hearing at @GOPoversight regarding this‚” Luna said‚ citing a New York Post article. I just spoke with @RepJamesComer and we will be holding a hearing at @GOPoversight regarding this. https://t.co/XtocH57XVD — Anna Paulina Luna (@realannapaulina) February 16‚ 2024 “Reason #10238234 why more Americans should grow/cook their own food‚” Luna also commented. Reason #10238234 why more Americans should grow/cook their own food. https://t.co/zBk3iyeo0D — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) February 19‚ 2024 The chemical‚ reportedly found in oat-based foods like Cheerios and Quaker Oats‚ is linked to numerous health conditions‚ including reduced fertility and delayed puberty. NEW – 80% of Americans test positive for chemical found in Cheerios and Quaker Oats‚ linked to infertility‚ delayed puberty: studyhttps://t.co/h7kiyMPnAf — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) February 15‚ 2024 “A new EWG peer-reviewed study‚ has found chlormequat‚ a little-known pesticide‚ in four out of five‚ or 80 percent‚ of people tested. The groundbreaking analysis of chlormequat in the bodies of people in the U.S. rings alarm bells‚ because the chemical is linked to reproductive and developmental problems in animal studies‚ suggesting the potential for similar harm to humans‚” the Environmental Working Group (EWG) stated. From the New York Post: The “highly toxic agricultural chemical” is federally allowed to be used on oats and other grains imported to the US‚ according to the EWG. When applied to oat and grain crops‚ chlormequat alters a plant’s growth‚ preventing it from bending over and thus making it easier to harvest‚ per the EWG. “Just as troubling‚ we detected the chemical in 92% of oat-based foods purchased in May 2023‚ including Quaker Oats and Cheerios‚” the nonprofit organization said in a report published alongside the group’s findings. General Mills‚ which makes Cheerios‚ and PepsiCo‚ which makes Quaker Oats‚ didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Another particularly concerning data point: After testing for the presence of chlormequat in urine collected from 96 people between 2017 and 2023‚ the EWG’s tests “found higher levels and more frequent detections of chlormequat in the 2023 samples … which suggests consumer exposure to chlormequat could be on the rise.” A new EWG peer-reviewed study has found chlormequat‚ a little-known pesticide‚ in 80% of people tested. This is alarming‚ as the chemical has been linked to reproductive and developmental problems in animal studies. https://t.co/Oh6Rue6KZq — EWG (@ewg) February 15‚ 2024 EWG wrote: EWG’s research‚ published February 15 in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology‚ tested for the presence of chlormequat in urine collected from 96 people between 2017 and 2023. The chemical was found in the urine of 77 of them. Our tests found higher levels and more frequent detections of chlormequat in the 2023 samples‚ compared to those from 2017 through 2022‚ which suggests consumer exposure to chlormequat could be on the rise. Just as troubling‚ we detected the chemical in 92 percent of oat-based foods purchased in May 2023‚ including Quaker Oats and Cheerios. The fact that so many people are exposed raises concerns about its potential impact on public health‚ since animal studies link chlormequat to reduced fertility‚ harm to the reproductive system and altered fetal growth. Environmental Protection Agency regulations allow the chemical to be used on ornamental plants only – not food crops – grown in the U.S. But its use is permitted on imported oats and other foods sold here. Many oats and oat products consumed in the U.S. come from Canada. New research reveals concerning levels of chlormequat‚ a pesticide associated with reproductive issues‚ in the urine of most tested Americans. Significantly higher concentrations were noted in 2023 compared to previous years.@EWG @uspirg @EPAhttps://t.co/w0gibt5MdK — The New Lede (@thenewledenews) February 15‚ 2024 Daily Mail added: Additionally‚ because chlormequat leaves the body quickly – within 24 hours – the findings suggest exposure to the substance is near-constant. Lead author of the study‚ Dr Alexis Temkin‚ a toxicologist at EWG‚ said: ‘EWG’s new study on chlormequat is the first of its kind in the US. ‘The ubiquity of this little-studied pesticide in people raises alarm bells about how it could potentially cause harm without anyone even knowing they’ve consumed it.’ In 2017‚ the detection level was 69 percent. Between 2018 and 2022 the level was 74 percent and in 2023‚ the detection level was 90 percent. When testing popular food products‚ the study also revealed chlormequat was in 92 percent of oat-based foods bought in May 2023‚ including Quaker Oats and Cheerios cereal. Researchers tested seven organic and 13 non-organic food products‚ as well as nine wheat-based products. Chlormequat was detected in 92 percent of non-organic oat-based products‚ while only two samples of wheat-based foods had low levels. Only one of the seven organic products had low levels of the substance.

RELATED: SPECIAL REPORT: Infertility Issues? READ THIS NOW! You learn something new every day… And this was a big one for me. In hindsight‚ it makes perfect sense but I had never really thought about it. In fact‚ when someone started telling me about this‚ I said “Wait‚ hold up…say that again?  What did you say?” And so they told me again….and then I researched it…..and this article is the result of that journey. Some of you may already know this but this may be a similar stunning wake up call for many of you like it was for me. (Be sure to read to the end because I’m not just going to give you the problem‚ I’m going to give you the solution!) So basically‚ the premise is this: studies have now shown that many popular makeup brands have “EDCs” in them. EDC stands for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals. According to EHN.org‚ Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals can have the following major health consequences: For the reproductive system‚ these harms include: Genital malformations Cancers of the reproductive organs Early female puberty Early menopause Lowered sperm counts Infertility Miscarriage Low birth weights These chemicals are also linked to many inflammatory and chronic diseases‚ including: Obesity and other forms of metabolic dysfunction Diabetes Cardiovascular disease Hormone-sensitive cancers Autoimmune disorders Allergies and asthma EDCs can also harm the brain and nervous system. Prenatal and childhood exposure is linked to: Lower IQ Memory and attention deficits Developmental delays Depression Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s Take a look at that first grouping and then ask yourself if it’s any wonder so many young couples are suddenly facing infertility issues. It’s such a private thing that people don’t talk about very often‚ but I would bet you probably know someone in your life right now facing infertility issues. And the cause may be EDCs…. Specifically‚ the EDCs that we are rubbing all over our skin each day! The enemy is within the building folks! The enemy is in the expensive creams and lotions that we pay so much money for and then rub all over our skin. As someone who has young daughters at home‚ this one hits REALLY close to home. How about you? In fact‚ studies are now showing that ON AVERAGE young women use EIGHT personal-care products a day that contain EDCs! Are you kidding me? And some were as high as 17: WOMEN'S PERSONAL-CARE PRODUCTS AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. According to the following study‚ young women use at least eight personal-care products a day that contain known endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Some of the women in the study used up to 17. pic.twitter.com/tUVs66h5Fn — RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) July 21‚ 2023 But is this really any big surprise? They are poisoning us with the food we eat (mRNA steaks anyone?)‚ the air we breathe (hello chemtrails!)….is it really any wonder there would also be poison in what we rub on our skin? Like I said — so obvious in hindsight‚ how did I not know this until now? I mean‚ think about it too…. God designed our skin to essentially be this giant solar panel. It takes in sunlight and then converts that to vital Vitamin D and other nutrients we need. Our skin is like the most advanced solar cell ever. So it’s receiving and taking in all sorts of things‚ of course it would be highly sensitive to taking in toxins. And where do we often rub creams and ointments? Often in sensitive places. Instant access for toxins. Man‚ this is some nasty stuff — but I have to warn you about it and maybe we can truly save some lives and improve some lives!! You’d better believe I’m making INSTANT changes for my daughters as they grow up! I’ve got a ton to show you about this‚ but let’s go here next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdq9hpp-wyA Here’s more from EHN.org: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals‚ also known as EDCs‚ are natural or human-made substances that interfere with the healthy functioning of the body’s endocrine system. The endocrine system is made up of glands throughout the body‚ along with the hormones that these glands produce and receptors that respond to the hormones. Endocrine glands include the pituitary‚ thymus‚ pancreas and adrenals. Hormones act like messengers‚ traveling through the body to deliver instructions that control biological processes ranging from growth and development to sleep‚ digestion and childbirth. Humans have more than 50 hormones. These include estrogen and testosterone‚ which help to control sexual development‚ as well as the “feel good” hormones serotonin‚ endorphins and oxytocin‚ which regulate mood‚ along with many other processes. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals change how the endocrine system works. Some EDCs are chemically similar to our hormones and mimic their effects in the body. Others block the action of hormones‚ increase or decrease their levels‚ or affect how the body responds. Because the endocrine system is extremely sensitive‚ endocrine disruptors can be hazardous in tiny amounts‚ such as one part per trillion — the equivalent of one drop of water in 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Some of these substances‚ such as lead‚ are so harmful that there is no known level of exposure that is not considered dangerous to some degree. According to one estimate‚ there are roughly 1‚000 endocrine disrupting chemicals currently in use. However‚ this number is likely an undercount. There are hundreds of thousands of synthetic chemicals‚ and only a small percentage have been assessed for their effects on the endocrine system. What's clear from these studies‚ and others‚ is that personal-care products are one of the most significant sources of exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals for women. If you're worried about your reproductive health‚ ditch them or find natural alternatives. pic.twitter.com/FvVCuPQoez — RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) July 21‚ 2023 Ok‚ so now you’re probably saying I get it‚ this is terrible‚ but what can I do? You’re right‚ the situation IS bleak… In fact‚ every brand you see in this wheel below is owned by the 11 corporations shown below: But it’s actually much worse than that…. Because those 11 corporations are mostly owned by THREE corporations: BlackRock… Vanguard… …and State Street! It’s called the ILLUSION of choice: You’re not going to find the solution in that wheel… Or in your local grocery store…. Definitely not at Wal-Mart or Target. Nope! Those are EDC havens folks! NO THANK YOU! So‚ what’s the solution? How about this: There’s only one pro-American‚ American made and manufactured‚ chemical free‚ toxin free‚ hormone free‚ company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK! This is the company I’ve partnered up with on my new Mission that I keep talking about. We launched the new Mission in February‚ but this company has been doing this for over 38 years!!

The U.S. government is using taxpayer money to fund “dangerous bird flu experiments” in collaboration with China and the United Kingdom. The Department of Agriculture utilized a $1 million grant from April 2021 to March 2026 to support experiments involving “a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus.” According to a letter from Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack‚ “the Biden USDA began financing the collaboration for ‘wet-lab virology’ to study ‘newly emerging avian influenza viruses’ in April 2021.” Because there was no reckoning‚ they are already doing it again https://t.co/IsrzSPei86 — Daniel Horowitz (@RMConservative) February 19‚ 2024 “I was troubled to learn from the non-profit group White Coat Waste Project that USDA is supporting experiments involving ‘a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus’ that poses a ‘risk to both animals and humans’ in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)‚ which is controlled by the CCP‚ and a researcher affiliated with the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology‚” Ernst wrote. The New York Post reports: The Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing will help with tests to infect vaccinated chickens‚ mallard ducks‚ species of Chinese geese and Japanese quail to evaluate the virus’s transmissibility and “potential to jump into mammalian hosts.” Ernst told Vilsack to hand over any departmental information about whether there are any safeguards in place‚ if the experiments constitute risky gain-of-function research‚ and what portion is being done in China. Gain-of-function research involves experimentation that aims to increase the transmissibility or virulence of pathogens in order to understand their potential to cause pandemics. “The health and safety of Americans are too important to just wing it‚ and Biden’s USDA should have had more apprehension before sending any taxpayer dollars to collaborate with the CCP on risky avian flu research‚” Ernst told The Post in a statement. “They should know by now to suspect ‘fowl’ play when it comes to researchers who have ties to the dangerous Wuhan Lab‚ and simply switching from bats to birds causes concern that they are creating more pathogens of pandemic potential‚” she added‚ referring to risky experiments that may have led to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Here’s my warning: The Biden administration should be walking on eggshells until they cut off every cent going to our adversaries. We cannot allow what happened in Wuhan to happen again.” Such viral experiments have “already caused outbreaks and killed humans‚” Ernst also wrote to Vilsack‚ noting that “China’s labs have notoriously lax safety standards.” “Collaborating studies will take place at sites in Georgia‚ Beijing and Edinburgh in Scotland‚” Daily Mail reports. Sen. Joni Ernst demands answers on Biden’s USDA spending $1M on ‘dangerous bird flu experiments’ with China https://t.co/erqI8fxFCV pic.twitter.com/j47IuAdgg0 — New York Post (@nypost) February 15‚ 2024 Daily Mail added: The documents were obtained by the campaign group‚ The White Coat Waste Project‚ and shared with DailyMail.com. The papers show funding for the avian virus research began in April 2021 and it is slated to continue through March 2026. The USDA told this website the project was applied for in 2019 and approved in 2020. The specific viruses the researchers will work with include H5NX‚ H7N9 and H9N2‚ WCW reported. A 2023 study described H5NX viruses as ‘highly pathogenic’ with the ability to cause neurological complications in humans. The H7N9 strain first infected humans and animals in China in March 2013 and the World Health Organization said it is of concern ‘because most patients have become severely ill.’ The H9N2 strain has been found in dove in China and while it has a lower pathogenicity than the other strains‚ it can still infect humans. The main collaborators on the project are USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory‚ the Chinese Academy of Sciences‚ and the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute – a Wuhan lab partner. Additionally‚ one of the researchers collaborating on the project is Wenju Liu‚ who is affiliated with the WIV – which is believed to have sparked the Covid pandemic – and a member of the board of a scientific journal‚ working with Zheng-Li Shi‚ who is known as the ‘bat lady’ for her extensive work on bat coronaviruses. “Avian flu must be taken seriously — not made more deadly in unsafe Chinese labs. Not a cent more to risky research of pandemic potential by our adversaries‚” Ernst wrote. Avian flu must be taken seriously — not made more deadly in unsafe Chinese labs.
