DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today for saintly courage. Embolden us to live the faith out loud in a culture that worships getting along above getting saved. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
HEALTH: A study entitled “Nature exposure induces analgesic effects by acting on nociception-related neural processing” was recently published in a journal called Nature Communications. In it, researchers report that exposure to nature appears to reduce the brain’s perception of pain.
The new findings help explain a phenomenon first observed over four decades ago by American researcher Roger Ulrich, who discovered that hospital patients with views of green spaces used fewer painkillers and recovered more quickly than those who looked at brick walls. Until now, scientists couldn’t explain why this occurred.
Although the analgesic effect of viewing nature is not as significant as that achieved by drugs, I’m in favor of anything that reduces my need for said drugs.

JFK ASSASSINATION: Around 80,000 pages of files have been released by the Trump administration. Some of the stuff is featured at the Not The Bee link below. One item is a file dated July 19, 1967, that has been spread online. It says that, on the day after the assassination, a CIA employee named Gary Underhill told friends that a small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination and that he afraid for his life. Less than six months later, Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. Despite several factors pointing to foul play, the coroner ruled it a suicide.

NOT THE GOOD GUYS: When Bud Light went woke, we didn’t torch convenience stores or vandalize property. We just stopped buying Bud Light. Thanks to the fact that Teslas come with multiple built-in cameras, we are able to watch the freaks in action. The videos are resulting in arrests and charges of felony vandalism.
