I have many concerns and personal experiences regarding the long-term safety of pesticides, specifically products like Roundup. Having personally suffered from significant health issues following pesticide exposure in 2000—including extreme weight loss, hair loss, and neurological symptoms—I am dedicated to educating others on these risks.

My background in nursing school provided further insight into the history of carcinogens and the influence of industry funding on legislation since the 1930s. I highly recommend Rachel Carson’s "Silent Spring" and Sandra Steingraber’s "Living Downstream" for a comprehensive look at how these substances affect the central nervous system (CNS) of all living beings and are directly related to cancer.

The impact is evident not only in humans but in our pets as well. I lost my own dog, Riley, to sinus cancer, which I believe was directly linked to environmental toxins. We continue to see rising cancer rates in animals exposed to flea treatments and public w**d killers, yet these practices remain widespread.

Research has consistently shown that these poisons are absorbed through the skin and lungs, affecting everyone from homeowners to professionals like carpenters. Continued public education is essential to drive the legislative changes necessary to protect our health from these poisons.

And yes, our government officials are paid off at all levels to vote for legislation to favor the continued use of carcinogens. It is mind blowing to say the least. Not one person is responsible for this, but many people for many years.

Don't buy the products. Educate and repeat. I know there are people out there unwilling to here or make the change. We continue to stand our case.

Your Sunday Prayer

February 22, 2026

Heavenly Father, thank You for being the One who carries my heaviest burdens, even when I feel unseen or alone. Teach me to reach out with grace — both to ask for help and to be a help — knowing no one is meant to walk through life alone. Surround me with people who reflect Your love, and help me to be that person for someone else. Today I rest in Your promises that You are near and that I am never fighting alone. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

To the Woman Who Feels Like She’s Fighting Alone

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2 (ESV)

d2.21-26
There was a time when my life seemed too heavy. With pressures weighing me down, I pulled away and isolated myself. When people asked me how I was, I smiled through a fake-fine answer while I suffered silently.



As long as we have Jesus, it’s true that everything is ultimately OK. But that doesn't mean we never struggle or feel lonely. It just means this is as true as we allow it to be.



Because with the gift of Jesus, we also receive the gift of His people.

Galatians 6:2 calls us to “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” But one of the ways we can fail at this is by not allowing others to see the burdens we carry.



Throughout Scripture, we see God bringing people to support one another through the emotional, physical, and spiritual loads of life:



Moses and Aaron.
Naomi and Ruth.
Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.



But maybe, like me, you wonder, How do we invite people into our burdens … without feeling like a burden?



Here are a few things God has reminded me as I wrestle with this:



1. We can surround ourselves with God's Truth. God is the ultimate load bearer. Nothing will ever be too heavy for Him. And the more we remind ourselves of what His Word says, the more we’ll have the right perspective on what feels heavy.



“For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light” (Matthew 11:30, NLT).



2. We can show up for others. We can’t expect others to be in our corner if we’re not consistently in theirs. So start small. Make it a goal each day to encourage someone. Share a devotion or a Bible verse. Speak life-giving words. Whatever it looks like, let’s consistently show up in others’ lives as voices of hope.



“A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need” (Proverbs 17:17, NLT).



3. We can ask with grace. This is hard for me. But one of the most humble things we can do is invite people into our needs. It’s not about asking, "Can you do it all for me?" It’s asking, “Can you help me see the hope in this?”



There’s a posture of grace as we walk through life together, and it begins with giving ourselves grace. None of us is strong enough to do this alone, so it's not "needy" to ask for help. Be as gentle on yourself as you would someone else.



“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy” (Matthew 5:7, ESV).



I know I sure couldn’t do this life alone. It’s not a burden but a blessing to walk with someone else and remind them that they don't have to either.



Dear God, thank You for teaching me to share my burdens with others. Help me to have grace and courage to be obedient in this area of my life as I both give and receive help. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
