Isaiah 46:4 (KJV) and even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you .

  Yes! There are several verses that emphasize that age doesn’t limit your value or purpose. Here are a few you might find encouraging: 1 Timothy 4:12 – “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” This reminds us that youth is not a barrier to living fully for God. Psalm 92:14 – “They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.” This shows that even in later years, you can thrive and have purpose. Job 12:12 – “Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?” This highlights the value of age and experience. Would you like me to find more verses about identity and purpose regardless of age , or help you write a reflection or blog post using one of these verses ?

The good old days...

  It sounds like you’re feeling nostalgic for your teenage years—maybe the sense of freedom, creativity, or identity you had then? That’s a really common feeling, especially when life gets more structured or responsibilities pile up. Would you like to: Reflect on what specifically you miss (e.g., personality traits, hobbies, confidence)? Explore ways to reconnect with that part of yourself now? Or maybe write something creative about your teen self—like a journal entry or blog post? What do you think is the biggest difference between who you were then and who you are now? It sounds like you’re proud of who you were back then—and that’s a great starting point! Missing that version of yourself often means there were qualities or experiences you really valued. Here are a few ways to reconnect with that “awesome” part of you: List what made you feel awesome : Was it confidence, creativity, friendships, freedom, style, or something else? Find small ways to bring those traits back : F...

Random Fun

 Hello... just went outside, it was very November ish. cold and cloudy. Did some makeup today. woo.  winter weather it felt like... here's a pic or two of me. no filter.  The kids got a free day today because somehow we missed the alarm. They're playing Undertale, eating chips, and taking over my phone for Roblox.  Brr. The window is open.  The air fryer is cooking something. Dusty walked past and jumped up on the couch to explore the open window. My son is singing.  Undertale music... it's loud on the tv. txting my mom. via the laptop. yeah it's cool. got it set up that way. cool feature. txting via laptop. yeah.

67 - One way to think about the annoying thing kids are saying to make it less annoying. lol.

Ah, that makes sense now! When kids say “six seven!” (or write it as 6-7 or 67 ), they’re using a viral slang phrase that blew up on TikTok and social media in 2025. Here’s the breakdown: ✅ What does “6-7” mean? It basically means… nothing. That’s the point. It’s part of what’s called brainrot slang —nonsensical phrases that spread for fun. Some people loosely interpret it as “so-so” or “meh” , especially when paired with a hand gesture that looks like weighing two options (palms up, moving up and down). Most kids use it as a random exclamation or a joke response to any question: “How tall are you?” → “Six seven!” “What time is it?” → “Six seven!” It’s all about being silly and confusing adults. ✅ Where did it come from? Originates from the 2024 rap song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Skrilla. The lyric “6-7” became a catchy sound on TikTok. It got tied to NBA player LaMelo Ball , who is 6’7” tall. Edits of him with the song went viral. Then came the “67 Kid” meme —a boy at a basketball gam...

Veterans Day

  Here’s a draft for your Veterans Day blog post: Honoring Our Veterans: A Day of Gratitude and Reflection Today, we pause to honor the men and women who have served in the armed forces. Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a reminder of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to freedom. These individuals stepped forward, often at great personal cost, to protect the values we hold dear. Their service is not just history; it’s a living legacy. Every veteran carries a story—of resilience, of brotherhood and sisterhood, of moments that shaped their lives and ours. While we may never fully grasp the weight of their experiences, we can offer what matters most: gratitude. Take time today to thank a veteran. Listen to their stories. Support organizations that care for those who have served. And let’s teach the next generation that freedom is not free—it’s safeguarded by those willing to stand in the gap. To all veterans: we honor you. We remember you. We are deeply...
