12 Verses I'm Thankful For This Thanksgiving
Aaron Burden

1. Love

John 3:16—For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

2. Sacrifice

Romans 3:25—Whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be reeived by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

3. Freedom

2 Corinthians 3:16—Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. This verse specifically reveals the freedom we have because of Christ’s sacrifice. Because of this

4. Comfort

Deuteronomy 31:8—It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

5. Trials

James 1:12—Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

6. Creator of Everything

Colossians 1:16—For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

7. Hope

2 Corinthians 1:10—He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we hve set our hope that he will deliver us again.

8. Friends

Proverbs 18:24—A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

9. God’s Word

Hebrews 4:12—For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, or joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

10. Strength

Isaiah 40:29—He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

11. Prayers

Psalm 145:18—The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

12. I Cannot Be Separated From God

Romans 8:37-39—No, in all theses things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
