If you, as a parent, are not ACTIVELY monitoring your childs screen time IT IS YOUR FAULT!

It is the job of a parent to protect and prepare their children for the world.

The world is changing at a breakneck pace (FYI, Chiropractors can help with those pesky neck pains 😉) but us parents still have to BE PRESENT AND INVOLVED!

Yes, getting the kids off the devices sucks sometimes...

It is so much easier to do what I want when they are subdued and stuck drooling looking at those magical blue lights.

But if we as parents DO NOT INTERVENE we are setting our kids up for a lifetime of issues.

We know better.

We can do better.

So,

Go out there and be that annoying parent!

Most viewed this week from JAMA Pediatrics: More screen time is associated with more depressive symptoms, potentially due to shorter sleep and worse white matter organization during early adolescence.

Good enough is an option.

Most capable people forget that.

There’s so much pressure on everyone nowadays to make the ‘right’ decision.

Then we act like once a decision is made it’s final.

Truth is, we can almost always make another choice.

Go another route.

Choose another path.

This rings very true for those who are very capable.

The bar is set higher and higher.

Once you reach it, it gets raised again and again in a never ending process of constant goal-post-moving (commonly sold to us a growth).

It is totally fine to go with what’s good enough.

As long as you are content, not complacent, with that choice.

If you read the article you understand the previous statement.

Regardless, make the most of what we get.

The ancient Greeks didn’t see time the way we do. There’s a lot to learn from their approach.

Happy 4th of July!!

I don’t believe I could have said it any bette than Travis did.

Enjoy this day and what it represents!

In a neighborhood built on determination and resilience, we celebrate today with grateful hearts.

July 4th in Delano
Freedom is a gift.
But even more — it’s a calling.
Not just to live as we please, but to live as we’re meant to.
Not just to celebrate independence, but to embrace dependence on the One who truly sets us free.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” — Galatians 5:1

At The District Church, we believe true freedom doesn’t come from what we achieve — but from what Jesus has already accomplished. It’s not the kind of freedom you fight for — it’s the kind you receive.

So today, while the skies light up with fireworks and families gather across Wichita, we’re also giving thanks for a Savior who breaks chains, renews lives, and calls us into a life of love, grit, and grace.

We love our city. We love our country. But our deepest hope is in a Kingdom that never falls.

Happy 4th, friends.
Stay rooted. Live free. Shine bright.

— The District Church

A recent study suggests that the persistent inflammation seen in wealthier nations may be MORE INFLUENCED BY LIFESTYLE and environmental factors, such as DIET, pollution, and LEVELS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, rather than by aging itself.

We have some level of control over our diet and activity. Not so much over pollution until as a global society we decide it’s important to do better.

Anyways, eat better and move more. You’ll reduce chronic inflammation. That will reduce chronic illness. This reduces inflammaging resulting in a longer, healthier life.

Analyzing readouts of inflammaging across four cohorts, Franck and colleagues identify strong variation and observe that inflammaging, in its known form, primarily emerges in industrialized—but not nonindustrialized—populations.

We will be out of office 6-30 thru 7-4.

During this time we will celebrate the Freedom this country gives us all, spend time together as our Family, and reinvigorate Faith through rest and reflection on the blessings we have.

Normal hours of operation will resume 7-7-2025.

I’ve been super blessed with my overall physical health.

And if you follow my random posts, you’ll know that I do suffer from some mental health issues.

This video just made a lot of sense to me as to why my life, which for all intents and purposes is great, can seem so hard sometimes.

If you have 11ish minutes, watch this to gain a little perspective on how/why this might be.

I'm thinking it’s time for me to find a volunteer path/program and I'm open to any ideas any of you have, just leave them in the comments.

Thank you!!
