  WORDS MATTER “If I speak with human tongues and angelic as well, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, a clanging symbol.” --I Corinthians 13: 1   My three brothers recently visited from afar. We spent a week together crammed into my small apartment. We exhausted ourselves talking about our lives and our favorite subjects--religion, psychology, and politics. I daily used up my quota of words. Many family and friends avoid talking about these subjects to avoid conflict. But we relish the give-and-take of debate. Coincidentally, the Republican National Convention was televised each night. We watched it diligently and exchanged views. Our convictions ranged across the political spectrum. So our conversations were animated, our disagreements passionate. However, at the end of the week, we learned something from each other and parted friends. Words matter. They have power.

😺 Caturday: Why Do Cats Sleep on Your Clothes?

  Cats have 20 million scent receptors working full‑time, and they use them the way we use maps, notes, and passwords. So when they find your clothes?

Warmth and softness — the perfect nap substrate Fresh laundry? Still warm. Sweater on the chair? Soft and body‑temperature‑adjacent.

Publisher's Pride: Books on Bestseller Lists - Eternal Springs: Joy Found in the Book of John (Floren)

Image
  Today's Publisher's Pride is Eternal Sprins: Joy Found in the Book of John by Bruce Floren which reached #232 in the Amazon category of motivation and spiritual growth. Book Description: What if joy isn’t optional in the Christian life—but essential? For many, religion feels heavy, demanding, and joyless. Yet Jesus promised life “to the full.” In Eternal Springs, the author draws from his deeply personal journey of leaving faith behind to pursue happiness, where he ultimately discovered that true joy could only be found by returning to Christ. Rooted in the Gospel of John and shaped by decades of lived experience, this book uncovers a vibrant, Spirit-led understanding of joy—not as shallow emotion, but as the divine energy that fuels love, grace, fruitfulness, and spiritual vitality. This is Christianity rediscovered: Joy that sustains rather than distracts Faith that overflows rather than burdens A life that becomes an attractive aroma to the glory of God Eternal Springs ...
