A familiar feeling comes over me as I remember the sounds of a tinkling piano, the sight of sneakers and a cozy cardigan, and the familiar warm face of a friend singing, “What do you do with the mad that you feel?” My friendly neighbor on the TV, Mister Rogers, talks about how toys don’t have feelings, but people do.

If someone’s heartbeat suddenly stops, it means they have gone into cardiac arrest. Their heart is unable to pump oxygen-rich blood to their body’s vital organs. Without oxygen, an organ like the brain can suffer irreversible damage, even in a matter of minutes. To prevent this from happening, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a hands-on procedure anyone can learn, helps the blood travel through the body until expert medical personnel can restore the heart’s ability to pump blood.

At the beginning of 2023, my family had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Chewie. We were filled with sadness and tears but also relief that she would be free of her painful illness. She had been suffering from oral cancer, and we knew the right thing to do was to end her suffering. But it was impossible to envision life without Chewie. She was more than just a dog—she was our four-legged family member.

Janet Perez Eckles confident smile fades and her eyes narrow when she asks herself, “If my vision returned, what would I want to see first? I would like to see the faces of my grandchildren. People tell me they’re beautiful children, but nobody can really describe them to me. I would also want to see the faces of my sons because I saw them when they were young, but in my mind, I can’t visualize them grown. I would want to see Dale, my hubby. Everybody says he’s so handsome. Yes, to see those faces, that would be a beautiful thing if God allowed me to see them.”

Jesus answers Peter’s question about the limits of forgiveness in the book of Matthew by telling a parable. The parable that Jesus tells makes it clear that the Kingdom of Heaven is a Kingdom of Forgiveness. It is a kingdom where forgiveness is free, plentiful, and undeserved. It is also a kingdom where there is little tolerance for unforgiveness.

We all know that pornography is sinful and destructive. Only the willfully blind would argue otherwise. Any research into the devastation porn produces reveals the tentacles of sin—grasping one of God’s gifts out of His time and place for that gift to be used (Genesis 3:6).

Do you feel your mood and behavior change with the seasons? As the days get colder and shorter in the winter months, people may start to feel down or even depressed, only to brighten up as spring brings back warmer weather and longer days. These mood changes can affect someone’s life in a serious way, changing how they think, work, and interact with others.
