https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pope-leo-hospital-lung-nodule-surgery/?intcid=CNR-01-0623 Pope Leo has diagnosis and lung surgery, not known to be a smoker. The Shoes of a Fisherman book stated that each cardinal had an assigned fireman in case his cig smoking caught fire. My own Catholic mother died from cigarette lung cancer at age 60. Glad for all who have avoided dangerous habits.

Sometimes we feel like kids on a road trip yelling "Are we there yet?" It can be frustrating, but Jehovah is driving, he will tell us when we get there. Just watch the scenery, we'll be there soon.

Got some, dog food;she has been walked and watered.Weather is 71 and tonight will be in the 60s. Docusigned for debt $$$ to be sent to me. Glad my fuel seems to be able to carry thru. Sometimes I just sponge bath to save hot water, but will full shower tomorrow.

I wonder if we are being fooled and this system never going to end. Seems like we grasping for anything to be it and the sun comes up and the sun goes down. Im getting tired of it. Either do it or don’t.

Celiac is often misdiagnosed or the result of guessing.

Imagine being born in 1832. You would have lived through the invention of the telephone, the automobile, the airplane, and the computer. You would have witnessed generations come and go, watched the world change beyond recognition, and perhaps wondered what the next century might bring. Now imagine that, after all those years, you were still alive. Let me introduce you to Jonathan. Jonathan is a giant tortoise living on the remote Atlantic island of St. Helena. At an estimated 194 years of age, he holds the distinction of being the oldest known living land animal. He was already about 50 years old when he arrived on the island in 1882. And apparently, he hasn't been in much of a hurry since. But Jonathan has recently given scientists something far more interesting to contemplate than his remarkable age. The extraordinary way his body has managed to keep itself alive. In October 2026, researchers published a study in Science Advances examining Jonathan's genome and the chemical markers that help regulate how his genes function. What they discovered was fascinating. Although Jonathan's DNA shows many expected signs of aging, certain regions involved in essential cellular processes remain surprisingly well organized. These regions are associated with energy production, RNA processing, and DNA repair. Think about that for a moment. Every living cell must continually carry out extraordinarily complicated work just to stay alive. DNA must be maintained and repaired. Energy must be produced. Instructions must be accurately processed. And all of this takes place without our conscious involvement. The researchers found evidence suggesting that Jonathan's cells have preserved some of the molecular organization necessary to perform these tasks efficiently, even after nearly two centuries. They haven't discovered a cure for aging. Nor have they established precisely why Jonathan has lived so long. But they have uncovered another small piece of a much larger mystery. Why do some living creatures possess such remarkable abilities to resist the effects of time? And that leads me to something even more wonderful. We often think of aging as an unavoidable part of life. We expect our bodies to weaken, our abilities to diminish, and eventually, our lives to end. We have never experienced anything different. Yet, when we consider the extraordinary mechanisms already present in living things, it becomes easier to appreciate just how marvelously Jehovah has designed life. Even now, within imperfect human bodies, trillions of cells work continually to maintain our existence. Our bodies repair injuries, replace damaged cells, and perform countless processes that we scarcely understand. And yet, despite all these remarkable abilities, we grow old. Why? The Bible offers an explanation. At Romans 5:12, we read: “That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned—.” Our present limitations were never Jehovah's original purpose for the human family. What will life be like when those limitations are finally removed? Consider the privilege awaiting obedient mankind under God's Kingdom. We look forward to the time when Jehovah, through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, will bring mankind to perfection. Imagine what that will mean. No longer will our bodies be burdened by inherited imperfection. The gradual deterioration that we now associate with growing older will no longer determine how long we live. We will be able to enjoy life as Jehovah originally intended. Forever. And there is something especially touching about the way Jehovah describes that future. At Revelation 21:4, he promises: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Notice that Jehovah does not merely promise us a longer life. He promises a life in which death itself will be removed. What a difference! Scientists are understandably fascinated by Jonathan's ability to remain alive for nearly two centuries. Perhaps their research will eventually help people enjoy additional years of better health. And that would certainly be a welcome accomplishment. But Jehovah's promise reaches far beyond anything medical science could achieve. He is not simply offering mankind a few additional decades—or even centuries. He is offering everlasting life. In fact, consider the beautiful simplicity of the promise found at Psalm 37:29: “The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.” Forever. Can we even begin to comprehend what that means? Imagine what we will be able to learn when time is no longer our enemy. Today, we might spend a lifetime developing an appreciation for astronomy, music, mathematics, or the natural world. Yet there will always be more to discover than we have time to explore. What about when there is no such limit? Perhaps we will spend centuries studying Jehovah's creation and still feel that we have barely begun. Every discovery revealing something new about the wisdom of our Creator. Every passing year adding to our appreciation rather than bringing us closer to death. And every morning awakening with the wonderful knowledge that the future still stretches before us. Jonathan's remarkable longevity reminds us that the living world contains abilities we are only beginning to understand. But perhaps the greatest wonder is not that a tortoise has managed to live for 194 years. It is that Jehovah created humans with the prospect of enjoying something infinitely more precious. Not merely a long life. A life without an ending. And when that promised future becomes our reality, perhaps we will look back on the longest-lived creatures of our present world with a smile. After all, 194 years is remarkable today. But in eternity? We're only getting started. Scientific reference: Vaisvil et al. (2026).

i'd say, be careful of the "resulting conspiracy theories" and believing this will solve mankind's problems. the world economic forum in davos switzerland, the great reset initiative (birthed 2016/2017), and the fourth industrial revolution are very real. the who, the un, larry fink, al gore, christine lagarde, and mark carney are very real. https://www.weforum.org/stories/sustainable-development/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/

It looks like we are never going back to normal, anormal temparatures will now be the new normality. The same with the conflicts around the world, the economic crisis... there is no solution. It is evident as never before we need the new world

I would be careful about believing in this "great reset" thing, as noted in the Wikipedia article you shared:

We don't want to have "false compassion", compassion that encourages someone to choose the easy path instead of the right path. It may seem nice to encourage someone to compromise in order to remove a temporary stressor in their life, but abandoning Jehovah will create more stress over time. We not only need Jehovah's perspective, but we need to think long-term.

You have to feel for Peter in this. He evidently loved his master so much he did not want to lose him. Jeseus gave him a stern rebuke. He actually turned his back on Peter and called him Satan . That must have hurt. It was necessary though, it was hard enough for Jesus to face his end without his closest one’s trying to talk him out of it. Today ? We do our best to acquire the” mind of Christ “ as Paul put it. When we fall we try again, and again and again…………

Microsoft Word made this, but said "Sorry, I can’t create an image depicting a historical or religious ruler such as King David. I can instead generate a symbolic ancient reconciliation scene: two unnamed men meeting peacefully in a lush paradise garden, with one red-haired figure expressing remorse through a bowed posture."

All those years of schooling have failed me again 🤣 2029 will be the 2000th anniversary of his baptism.

That's 2033, right? 6.5 more years.
