I adopted my small dog from a no kill shelter. Her previous guardian moved from a large house with land to run on & a larger companion dog to a small apartment where she was left alone all day & guess what?--the dog who also happens to be highly intelligent & not low energy became neurotic & destructive. If she were a person they'd definitely want to medicate her. So they gave her up. She was a mess when i got her, but with a little time, love, structure, & patience, her true self emerged as the smartest, sweetest dog ive had the pleasure to know. Everyone loves her. Shes no longer destructive or neurotic, but still has the same needs to be met: Positive mental & emotional stimulation, play, & lots of time outside. Everyone has true needs that medication cannot fill. Not saying there isn't a time & a place for it, but its being put out to try to fill too many times & places, thats all.

There have been studies on prostitutes showing " Most (60% to 70%) were sexually abused as children , 65% have been raped, most of them before the age of 15, and many young women and girls enter prostitution directly from state care, at least in England, Norway, Australia and Canada."
"Studies of women in prostitution show an extremely high level of violence is perpetrated against women in prostitution. Figures vary across studies. One representative study showed 82% of respondents had been physically assaulted since entering prostitution, 55% of those by clients. Additionally, 80% had been physically threatened while in prostitution, 83% of those with a weapon. 8% reported physical attacks by pimps and clients of a nature that resulted in serious injury, for example gunshot wounds and knife wounds. 68% reported having been raped since entering prostitution, 48% more than five times and 46% reporting rapes committed by clients.

Although I don't believe in "luck", your shirt & this topic reminded me of an apropos little poem:
"I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another in for luck--
If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have hope, and you must have faith,
You must love and be strong – and so—
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow."

Yahushua, aka "Jesus" was led by His Father & if we are His children, so must we be led. He knew when to minister to people, when it was time to move on to the next city, when to send the multitudes away, & when, crucially, to depart to a solitary place to pray. That's also what He taught the disciples & us. (Matt 14:13, 23 , Mark 1:35, Mark 3:7, Mark 6:31-32, Mark 6:46-47, Luke 4:42-43, Luke 5:16, Luke 6:12, John 6:15 for example.) He also acknowledged the need of both physical & spiritual rest. He taught there is a time for & an ebb & flow to all our earthly activities.

Thanks for this! I'm in this process now & have been since i decided to stop working four months ago, for the time being & move back home to help take care of & be with my Mom who was in end stage ALS. She passed on the 12th of this month in my arms, with my Siblings & Dad also by her side. I've experienced various traumas in my life, but i'm finding losing your Mom, especially with an illness such as hers, is profound in a different sort of way considering she's a figure we were literally connected to from our beginning. ( I have been the caregiver for a woman with it before, which thankfully helped me prepare on some level-- That, & full assurance i'll see her again.) Even though me & my Mom didn't have the ideal relationship, a Mother is the heart of a home & there is a marked echo of emptiness without her presence. Your channel has been a Haven every day for me since i was sent a video towards the end of Feb. It came at the time most needed & i've remained a Moth to your warm, bright flame. I just wanted to thank you for being a "Door of Hope" in my valley. YHWH bless you, April

"Oh, every year hath its winter,
And every year hath its rain--
But a day is always coming
When the birds go north again.
When new leaves swell in the forest,
And grass springs green on the plain,
And alders' veins turn crimson--
And the birds go north again.
Oh, every heart hath its sorrow,
And every heart hath its pain--
But a day is always coming
When the birds go north again.
'Tis the sweetest thing to remember,
If courage be on the wane,
When the cold, dark days are over--
Why, the birds go north again." - Ella Higginson

@jn3750 Sigh This is too big a convo for this thread. Not sure how you know she ignored your email, but if she did, again, sounds like you got your answer. Was she planning on getting all this free help from you online/over the phone, or was she gonna travel to you? Protecting your professional situation is what's important. Not worth potentially jeopardizing it in this type situation. If you already knew her, or she has a close mutual friend, etc, or if you were actual friends with her already it might be a different situation. (Still prostitution to do what you're proposing to her, & i'm not endorsing, just mean it'd be a different situation knowing her. ) As it stands, I'd cut bait & head the opposite direction.

To each their own, & we all come from different World's & beliefs, 'cause where i come from the "average Western woman # of 7" would be considered high, while the guys in comments (God help them) some said 15 was low! Wow. / From the study cited, ".. a woman's sexual satisfaction is related to her loyalty & commitment", Something is terribly wrong if a scenario like that would effect her loyalty & commitment. Like a continuation of whatever was messed up in her morals/mind/emotions for her to have a high body count to begin with. Even if you're in the promiscuous "sex positive" camp, you have to admit, if you didn't think it was a moral issue before, it certainly becomes one if its impacting commitment/loyalty for them when they choose such type relationships. I can't say those women are incapable of ever having a healthy, loving, committed, long term relationship with a good man, but I'd be surprised if many were & suspect studies on it would only confirm this. Then again, they probably wouldn't be with a good man to begin with either by her choice or his, but i suppose it happens sometimes. Also, If a woman's not climaxing with her mate she needs to either do it herself, or ideally help her man know how to make it happen. Sexual satisfaction has zero bearing on loyalty & commitment for a woman who isn't a walking red flag quilt display, so i don't want guys to feel like they have to be the equivalent of a Porn star to keep a woman "happy." A woman who loves you truly does just want YOU. Making her c*m real hard would just be a cherry on top, ha, ha. ~April

Eph 6 kjv "10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints"

"Once I heard a song of sweetness,
As it cleft the morning air,
Sounding in its blest completeness,
Like a tender, pleading prayer;
And I sought to find the singer,
Whence the wondrous song was borne;
And I found a bird, sore wounded,
Pinioned by a cruel thorn.
I have seen a soul in sadness,
While its wings with pain were furl’d,
Giving hope, and cheer and gladness
That should bless a weeping world;
And I knew that life of sweetness,
Was of pain and sorrow borne,
And a stricken soul was singing,
With its heart against a thorn.
Ye are told of One who loved you,
Of a Saviour crucified,
Ye are told of nails that pinioned,
And a spear that pierced His side;
Ye are told of cruel scourging,
Of a Saviour bearing scorn,
And He died for your salvation,
With His brow against a thorn.
Ye “are not above the Master.”
Will you breathe a sweet refrain?
And His grace will be sufficient,
When your heart is pierced with pain.
Will you live to bless His loved ones,
Tho’ your life be bruised and torn,
Like the bird that sang so sweetly,
With its heart against a thorn?"

Nope. Prov 31:10-31 talks about her virtue & being a good helpmate:
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates

"Virtue! a fig! ’tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners: so that if we will plant nettles, or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up thyme, supply it with one gender of herbs, or distract it with many, either to have it sterile with idleness, or manured with industry, why, the power and corrigible authority of this lies in our wills. If the balance of our lives had not one scale of reason to poise another of sensuality, the blood and baseness of our natures would conduct us to most preposterous conclusions: but we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts, whereof I take this that you call love to be a sect or scion."

@jgw9990 Whatever the person chooses as their way of conveying appreciation. I'll give you an example. Back when I worked at an assisted living facility caring for elderly & disabled people, one of the elderly gentlemen on my list to watch over when he showered to be sure he didn't fall, was a D-day paratrooper Veteran who later worked on NASA's early Rocket program. He was advanced in age, used a cane, & wore an eye patch. I'd help him dry his back, legs, & feet. Lay out an outfit & help where needed. I'd also spend time visiting with him when i was caught up on other work & had a little time to spare. (At that time i worked 3rd shift, so this was early morning, before their breakfast.) One day after drying his feet & starting to help with socks, i noticed his toe nails needed to be cut; he said something about setting up a pedicure appoint, as we weren't allowed to do that for them, but since I knew he wasn't diabetic I offered to do it for him if he wouldn't tell anyone. It was nothing special, but he had tears running down his face as I finished trimming them. I'll never forget that. Later on he told me he had his son gets me something to say how much he appreciated me. I told him we weren't allowed to accept gifts, but he insisted. It was gold earrings. It would have hurt him if I didn't accept them, so I did. It meant a lot to me, but his tears that one prior day said & meant even more than the gold earrings because it conveyed how his heart felt in the purest possible way. If you're asking for advice, every person & situation is different. Whether a "thanks", a gesture of some kind which could be a gift, or can sometimes be expressed with no words at all--a warm look & a little smile, however you do it, just earnestly conveying your appreciation can mean so much.

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not Love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Love, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; Love envieth not; Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love." I Corinthians 13:1-13

Side bar, believe it or not, dogs don't just live in the moment. There's this dog named Bunny a woman taught to use buttons that say a word to communicate with her(others do it, too, & they're available now for anyone to buy & try to train their dog to use) She is also allowing a long term University research study to be done on them & they record them 24 hrs day. Anyways, it is amazing the concepts some are able to grasp. She(the dog)even asks questions that the woman isn't quite sure how to explain to her such as "Yesterday, where's yesterday?" & "Why human?" She can recall the previous night's dreams. She'll ask about her doggie friends she thinks of, etc, etc. It's here on YouTube, called What About Bunny. She also taught her subsequent dogs to talk, but what's interesting is she only had her boy poodle observe her using the buttons as he grew & he began "talking" with them on his own! She has also caught the two dogs on camera "talking" to each other using the buttons when Noone was around, lol. : )

I was reading tonight & happened across a passage by George Matheson about the exact scenario you mentioned: " 'And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.' Mark 1:12
It seemed a strange proof of Divine favor. 'Immediately.' Immediately after what? After the opened heavens and the dove-like peace and the voice of the Father’s blessing, 'Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.' It is no abnormal experience. Thou, too, hast passed through it, O my soul. Are not the times of thy deepest depression just the moments that follow thy loftiest flight? Yesterday thou wert soaring far in the firmament, and singing in the radiance of the morn; today thy wings are folded and thy song silent. At noon thou wert basking in the sunshine of a Father’s smile; at eve thou art saying in the wilderness, 'My way is hid from the Lord.'
Nay, but, my soul, the very suddenness of the change is a proof that it is not revolutionary.
Hast thou weighed the comfort of that word 'immediately'? Why does it come so soon after the blessing? Just to show that it is the sequel to the blessing. God shines on thee to make thee fit for life’s desert-places—for its Gethsemanes, for its Calvaries. He lifts thee up that He may give thee strength to go further down; He illuminates thee that He may send thee into the night, that He may make thee a help to the helpless.
Not at all times art thou worthy of the wilderness; thou art only worthy of the wilderness after the splendors of Jordan. Nothing but the Son’s vision can fit thee for the Spirit’s burden; only the glory of the baptism can support the hunger of the desert. "

“And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.” :
“It filled the (podcast)room, and it filled my life,
With a glory of source unseen;
It made me calm in the midst of strife,
And in winter my heart was green.
And the birds of promise sang on the tree
When the storm was breaking on land and sea.”
