When motivation fades, remember this: God’s Word gives strength beyond emotions.
📖 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” — Isaiah 40:31
Many prophets stayed faithful through hardship—not because they felt strong, but because they trusted God’s promises.

I’ve been noticing this for years. I know others have as well. Any public health people or epidemiologists? This needs to be studied & remedied.

Pep talk time. For some of us this is incredibly new. For others, painfully familiar. Because we the people have been here before. Pushing back against government, systems, and even each other. Open a history book. Look at whose shoulders we have been standing on.

I’m retired CDC. I loved working there. It was an honor. Our duty is to the country-to the people. To seek the health of the people. Information & data must be shared.

It’s past time to be aware of climate change.
This is a perfect article from @climatehuman.bsky.social about all of it — the grief, the true culprits of climate change (oil), the way we need to get together on this (build bridges to folks on all sides of politics), and the powerful anger we need to make change.
