[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.
I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.
Lastly, note: I also wrote for TheLibertyBeacon (https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard), where I dropped pieces (normally weekly) on Saturdays for the last 3 years (and even RedState back when) and now joined and dropping pieces via SUBSTACK (https://tinyurl.com/JLDonSubstack).]

Feb 2025 Health Weeks 5: Thoughts and Prayers

 

 

Thoughts and Prayers: A Reflection on Health and Friendship

 

TLDR  This blog post reflects on the importance of thoughts and prayers during difficult times, inspired by a personal story of a friend’s health crisis and the author’s own health challenges. It emphasizes the need for support and compassion in the face of adversity.

In this somber episode titled “Thoughts and Prayers,” I share a personal reflection prompted by a recent conversation with a long-distance friend, Roger, who has suffered a major stroke. This moment has led me to consider the importance of support, compassion, and the power of thoughts and prayers during challenging times.

The Call That Prompted Reflection

I had not heard from Roger in a while, which was unusual. As a semi-regular contributor to the Liberty Beacon, I was concerned when I couldn’t reach him. Upon finally connecting, I learned that he had experienced a significant stroke. The severity of his condition is still uncertain, but it brings back memories of my father’s strokes, which had varying impacts on his health.

The Need for Support

Roger’s situation is a stark reminder of how many people in our lives may be facing health crises or personal struggles. My heart goes out to him, and I extend my thoughts and prayers to him and his family. It is essential to recognize that many individuals are in need of support, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual.

Personal Health Challenges

In addition to Roger’s health issues, I am also facing my own challenges. I have a heart appointment coming up in March due to ongoing issues that I can no longer ignore. Symptoms such as shortness of breath and numbness in my arm have raised concerns about my heart health. I am preparing for a procedure that, while daunting, is necessary for my well-being.

The Journey of Recovery

Heart surgery has evolved significantly, with less invasive methods now available. My sister recently underwent emergency heart surgery and is recovering well, feeling better than she has in a long time. Her experience gives me hope as I prepare for my own procedure. It is a reminder that recovery is possible, and that thoughts and prayers can play a crucial role in healing.

A Call for Compassion

As I reflect on these experiences, I urge everyone to take a moment to consider those in their lives who may be struggling. Whether it is a health issue, financial hardship, or mental health challenge, many people are in need of support. I encourage you to include specific individuals in your prayers or to offer general thoughts of compassion for those facing difficulties.

Conclusion

In these trying times, it is vital to remember that we are all interconnected. The challenges we face can be overwhelming, but through support, compassion, and prayer, we can help each other navigate these hardships. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my reflections. Please keep Roger, my sister, and all those in need in your thoughts and prayers. Together, we can foster a community of care and support.

Take care and God bless.
