Or you take the steps to break the cycle! You *can* find the love you spent most of your life without, when you finally start searching for the Truth. You find faith where there was none, the faith slowly fills the gaping void left behind by years of awful āparentingāand adults who failed to protect you. You learn that you are NOT alone; youāve never been alone, you may have felt alone but you werenāt, something kept you strong enough to reach this point and that was Jesus Christ. He has been there all along, through each event where you thought to yourself āthis is going to crush me, I canāt take it anymoreā, He was there invisibly helping you to carry your cross.
Now here is the hardest part; you have to be willing to accept the uncomfortable, even scary, reality that there is actually someone who loves you and doesnāt want to hurt you. You have to let go of the misplaced resentment toward God, because God didnāt make any of this happen. God gave man free will and unfortunately man often uses that free will to hurt others. This was not Godās doing, he didnāt force anyone to do anything, but He can purpose good out of even the most evil and painful situations. You might be thinking to yourself right now, āWell then why didnāt God stop this from happening, if He really is all powerful why didnāt He do anything, I still got hurtā, youāre right He is all powerful, but He will never force man to act against free will. The only people responsible for your pain are those who harmed you of their own free will. He never abandoned you and never will.
Iāve lived through some of the ugliest things a person can and I was rescued by faith, but the point of this post isnāt me. The point is that healing can happen and God loves you. Through God all things are possible.
It's worse than that.
The baseline American childhood is that you're handed over to a Lord of the Flies-esque daycare at 6 weeks of age for the next 5 years so your mom can go back to her Hebrew Day Care job. When you come home, you're handed an iPad for entertainment while your parents (or more often, mom and her current boyfriend) scream at each other in the other room.
At 5, you are dumped into a prison filled with mystery meet convict-children, half of whom don't speak English, then take the bus back to day care for a few hours, then come home and are handed an iPad while you listen to the screaming from the next room. You're bored out of your mind, so a doctor tells you there's something wrong with you and writes you a prescription for a daily dose of amphetamine salts.
Around early middle school, the other inmates discover that they can watch porn on their iPads and expose you daily to images of dead-eyed whores with extensive plastic surgery having various objects inserted into them. You find out your first crush got "fisted" by another student. The girl you used to sit next to on the bus starts dating other girls, then gains 40 pounds and becomes "non-binary". Your other friend's hobby is being groomed on Roblox in his spare time.
This is horrible, but if you tell anyone you're miserable, you'll be given SSRIs or groomed into trooning, so you don't.
Then you graduate and are sent into a world believing this is all normal, and the fact that no one ever loved you is because there's something wrong with you. Love is an alien concept. There's loneliness and cruelty and false "niceness" and aberrant sexual practices. You can take pills to make the experience less horrible. That's just how the world is.
At some point, you might manage to insert part of your body into another inmates', so you then put the next generation through the same hell you endured. Because that's what you do to children. It's normal.

Today is Tsunami Awareness Day. Tsunamis happen in Washington. Now you are aware.
Update, my ballot has been processed and counted. Iād love to know why I didnāt get the notification of this like I did for the rest of the process or for my husbandās
Iām just a little bit curious as to why my ballot has not been counted yet @WashcoOregon my husbandās was, but mine was not. Both of them were dropped off the same day, at the same location, at the same time. Weāve received his @ballottrax updates saying his was counted, and all of my updates EXCEPT that mine has been counted.
Iād love some information about why this might be as well as if anyone else had this happen to them in Washington County or Oregon in general

My photo essay on American auto culture in Frontier this quarter made the cover. Huge surprise for me in the mail when I came home last night!
Iām sickened by some of the posts and comments Iāve seen from people. I pray for the souls of all those on board, but especially for the pilot and co-pilot who are being mercilessly attacked by a bunch of newly crowned aviation and meteorology experts less than a day after their tragic death. Heartbreaking to see someoneās last words be criticized by a bunch of assholes online in a situation that none of these critics can imagine
Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor womanās final radio calls.
That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.
I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraftās maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.
Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.
I hope he recovers quickly! I also wonder about how he wound up shoeless in the middle of the forest

Move over postpartum depression. Being retarded is the new excuse for murder
Decided to make a (mostly) homemade pear and apple cobbler this morning before we head out to do some more fun fall activities like; another corn maze, afternoon wildlife photography, etc.
Always take advantage of the time that the Lord has given you to enjoy His creation when the opportunity presents itself.

A 90 day power grid collapse would wipe out 75 million Americans. 22% of the population.
FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support ā no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water.
The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis.
Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures."

USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory scientists performing a routine helicopter observation flight at Mount Hood noticed that a seasonal meltwater pond at the base of the Coalman Glacier was significantly larger than in previous years. The pond lies in a basin bounded by Crater Rock, cliffs extending down from the summit, and Devilās Kitchen, an earthen berm composed of hydrothermally altered rock and glacial moraine material. Devilās Kitchen is a long-lived feature and appears stable based on current observations.
The pondās water volume is unknown but is estimated to be on the order of ~50,000 cubic meters, roughly equivalent to 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. A water sample collected last week had a provisional measured pH of 4, which is similar to the pH of black coffee, indicating mildly acidic conditions.
If all the water were released suddenly, it could generate a debris flow down the White River with the potential to reach the Highway 35 bridge. Topography would prevent the flow from traveling down the Sandy River or toward Timberline and Government Camp. Based on current estimates of the pondās water volume, impacts to populated areas are not expected.
USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory scientists are working with the U.S. Forest Service, the National Weather Service, Portland Mountain Rescue, and other agencies to make additional measurements and assess the stability of the meltwater pond. CVO will issue further updates as conditions warrant.
The Cascades Volcano Observatory update for Friday, October 23, 2026: All volcanoes in the Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington were at normal background levels.
Over the past week, there were small earthquakes detected at Mount St. Helens. Field crews conducted a gravity survey at Mount Hood, installed sensors at Spirit Lake near Mount St. Helens, and made improvements to monitoring stations at Mount Adams. Analysis of routine gas flight measurements at Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood indicate normal background levels of degassing.

I couldnāt handle watching more than a few seconds, even with no sound. When you have lived this from the childās experience and then lost your mother to this it hits in an entirely different way. I do not EVER use the word ātriggeredā lightly because I believe the word has been hijacked, but this video certainly qualifies. I pray she never goes back to him or any other man who is this way. I pray for that infant, I pray both mother and child find peace and safety.
If you are in America (or anywhere) and need help escaping domestic violence please donāt wait; sometimes the clock runs out before you realize it. If you have children and live in a situation like this please, no matter how terrifying it is for you, LEAVE because those scars stay with your children for life.
This footage shared by a new mother is very hard to watch. ā ļø
She says it was recorded the day she came home from hospital after giving birth to her son. That should have been one of the happiest days of her life, instead she was exhausted, still healing, holding her newborn, and being threatened.
Thankfully she and her son are now safe, but many women are still living with this behind closed doors, trapped by the mental and physical control that comes with domestic abuse.
In one year, around 2.2 million women in England and Wales experienced domestic abuse. Police recorded 816,493 domestic abuse-related crimes, 15.4% of all recorded crime.
And it's not just physical violence. Threats, intimidation, being called names and being controlled are all abuse too.
October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Domestic Abuse Helpline (free, 24/7) on 0808 2000 247.
If you're in immediate danger and can't speak, call 999 and press 55.
Oh look, another reason to homeschool
Jesus was Jewish. His mother was Jewish. His disciples were Jewish. The roots of Christianity are deeply intertwined with the history of the Jewish people.
As antisemitism continues to rear its ugly head, we must never forget the lessons of history. That's why I introduced Senate Bill 127, requiring Holocaust education in Pennsylvania schools.
Remember our roots. Teach our history. Reject antisemitism.

Pilate said to them, āTake him yourselves and judge him by your own law.ā The Js said to him, āIt is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.ā
John 18:31
Pretty antisemitic to call the Js liars.
So Iāve got an episode of the Whatever Podcast playing in the background while doing homework and Charlie Kirk is on it explaining to a table, made up mostly of hoes, how much he loves his wife and daughter. He expressed that the feeling of his daughter running to see him when he comes home means more to him than any amount of meetings with presidents or events. That hit me hard, they took everything from Charlie and they lie about it every single day. @RealCandaceO I am genuinely so sorry for the horrid things you have to endure simply for being brave enough to fight for the truth about what happened to your best friend; but even more than that my heart breaks for Gigi and what was stolen from her.
