A new report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) reveals the highest number of countries persecuting Christians in recorded history, with faith communities facing imprisonment, violence and even death simply for practicing their beliefs.

Nowhere is that violence more lethal than in Nigeria, where USCIRF reports over 80% of religion-based murders in 2024 occurred.

Rebecca Dali, a former captive of Boko Haram, was one of several witnesses to share her violent reality, having now documented thousands of killings by the extremist group.

January mental health minutes:
For many folks January means new beginnings.
While new ways of living are usually hopeful, for those who experience loss it can lead to loneliness and isolation.
When we suffer a loss we are looking at life through a new lens. Things are different-either by choice or circumstance and we through the process of Grief.
I like to call this “Sacred time”, when profound emotions and time seems to stand still, where our mind and spirit try to make sense of what is happening.
It is important to treat ourselves gently, take the time we need to become who we will be going forward.
Kind words from others who share this time are invaluable but we all go through the process of denial, anger, bargaining , depression and acceptance although not in that order. “Feeling the feels” of loss is how we honor relationships we have had and the love we shared with one another.
No matter what our loss is, we deserve to honor this “sacred time” and we are worth it. 💕

By sharing our troubles, we can reduce them and tap into the kindness and helpfulness of those around us. Wishing you meaningful connections and a joyful holiday season – you are worth it! ❤️

Dangers of Cannabis and driving… the cannabis industry needs to educate users on not driving while high. Just like alcohol industry did.

Over 40% of fatal crash victims had THC levels far above legal limits, showing cannabis use before driving remains widespread. The rate didn’t drop after legalization, suggesting policy changes haven’t altered risky habits. Experts warn that the lack of public awareness around marijuana’s dang...
