The most spiritual place to the Aboriginal people. for some reason, I don’t think that’s what they wanna be called but I can’t remember. My 19-year-old son wanted to sit inside the hotel and play video games because he hadn’t played in like a month and they had them at this nice resort out in the middle of nowhere really cool. So I went by myself in the middle of nowhere in the outback. once I started walking around it, this was nine months post-stroke and I was not off a walker or a cane or some kind of for I don’t know months couple months I guess what I don’t even know to be honest. But I’d come along way from where they said. But I overdid it a bunch of times on the trip freaked out a few times. Here I was by myself nobody coming to get me no cell phone. There was not one other person out there that day for whatever reason. there was some spaces this thing just popped up flat ground. Nothing else around anywhere. This thing is massive and then some places it’s almost like a little oasis like there’s all these trees and it goes back towards the base of the rock and there’s like a little water source. It’s really beautiful. I can’t even explain it. I’d like to go back again, but I’m stronger and remember more of it.
it’s almost amazing how people run from me how people turn from me and on me a few people have seen me for a little bit like on here some of you specifically Mark he gave me money couple times others of you too. I don’t want money but like I have the best nonprofit that I need help with and it’s a pretty great investment I think.
If the people who run our systems were truly honest, they’d admit this:
they’ve made life so hard for so many people that “choice” starts to disappear.
When survival becomes suffering, offering an exit isn’t compassion — it’s a way to avoid fixing what’s broken.
A society that makes life unbearable and then calls death a solution isn’t merciful. It’s irresponsible.
Verse — Psalm 34:18
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Interpretation:
This verse isn’t about weakness — it’s about wounds. God draws near not to the loud, the proud, or the untouched, but to those whose spirits are worn down by pain, grief, and compassion for suffering they can’t ignore.
My Voice / What This Is for Me:
My body has been hurt, and my soul feels exhausted from seeing so much pain in the world.
What hurts the most isn’t just what’s been done to me — it’s how casually people hurt each other, often without even realizing it.
I know most people aren’t evil. I know they’re overwhelmed, afraid, distracted, and carrying their own wounds.
But caring still costs something.
And when you feel everything — when you can’t shut it off — it can feel like your spirit is being crushed by the weight of it all.
This verse reminds me that feeling this way doesn’t mean I’m failing.
It means I’m still human.
Verse — Micah 6:8:
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Interpretation:
God doesn’t call for cruelty or blind enforcement — He calls for justice with mercy.
My Voice:
I want secure borders. I want laws enforced. But I also want a system that protects human life, not one that treats people as if they don’t matter — whether they’re vulnerable citizens or immigrants. We should do better — we must do better.
