You know it’s wonderful when hear! The Fourth of July is a significant and celebratory day in the United States, marking the country's independence and freedom. It's a time for communities to come together, enjoy fireworks, parades, barbecues, and other festivities.

The best way to spread holiday cheer? Singing loud for all to hear! I love watching Elf, but delivering holiday gifts takes more than just reindeer power and i am a high functioning procrastonator when it comes to gifts.

Lessons learned from Mr. D: 1. Tell your family how much you love them multiple times a day. 2. Keep the door of your home open to friends and family for a great meal and cold drink. 3. Keep the pool ice cold, not sure why but it's super memorable. 4. Coach and volunteer in your town. 5. Always be willing to drive kids home after practice, regardless of how far from your home they live. 6. Love and respect your country and neighbors no exceptions Happy Memorial Day!

🍀 🌟 Calling All Word Sleuths! 🌟 🍀 We’ve brewed up a scintillating St. Patrick’s Day Word Search just for you! 👀 🍀 How to Play: 1️⃣ Grab your favorite shamrock-shaped magnifying glass (or just use your eyes, no judgment here!). 2️⃣ Dive into the grid of Celtic magic and leprechaun mischief. 3️⃣ Seek out words like “shamrock,” “Guinness,” and “rainbow” – they’re hiding in plain sight! 4️⃣ Channel your inner Irish legend, and find all 24 words. 🕵️♂️ 🍀 Why Bother?: - Because finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow is so passé. 🌟 - Because leprechauns are notoriously bad at hiding things. 🙈 - Because bragging rights at the virtual St. Paddy’s Day parade are up for grabs! 🎉 🌈 Ready to Peek at the Answer?: Don’t worry, we won’t judge. Just whisper “shamrock shake” three times, and the solution will magically appear (or just click the > twice)! 🌈 Share the Luck: Tag your fellow word wizards, and let the St. Patrick’s Day festivities begin! #WordSearch #StPatricksDayMagic

What is your wish for Christmas? Write it in the comments!

We must take Christmas out of the cultural boxes into which we have thoughtlessly crammed it. We must free it of the confines of our stupidity, we must release if from the filthy hands of our greed that shaped each box, and it must be freed of the bane of special interests that attempt to seal these boxes tight. And once we’ve done all of that, we must burn every box to ash and cinders. Yet, the oddity of it all is that we really can’t keep Christmas in a box anyway. We might ignorantly presume such power, but it is only an assumption and nothing more. Despite our most robust efforts to ignore it, deny it, render it a fairy-tale, play it off as the invention of misty-eyed dreamers, and press it far off of the edges of a blind culture, Christmas remains what it is. It will forever remain the only rescue mission that set out with enough power to actually rescue us. No matter the propaganda and hype that we grant them, all other missions will fail…miserably. And I would hate to meet my own death realizing that I was ignorant enough to box up the only thing that could have saved me. When Christmas has concluded and the celebrations have stilled, when the songs have fallen silent and the parties have ceased, leave Christmas out of the box that you can’t put it in anyway. Let it be what nothing else can be. Let it rescue you, your family, your children, your marriage, your community, and your world. And I don’t believe that any of us want to put in anything in any box that has the power to do that. ________________________________________________________________________________ Discover all of LifeTalk's programming on most podcast platforms as well as Craig's YouTube channel.
