How do you throw a space party?

You planet.

Plans. We all make them, but oh how the Lord can flip them around! His plan is so good and I have been struggling lately to truly believe that.

God has been leading me in the scriptures by fueling a fire within me to know more about the rich history of the Bible. I originally started reading through Luke because of the holiday season. Christmas was in the air and I thought what better way to get into the spirit than by reading the story of Jesus' life? But as I was reading, I kept wondering about the past lineage of Jesus. I was led to the book of 2 Samuel talking about King David and how he came to power. David was a man after God's heart. Coming into the picture halfway between Abraham and Jesus, God chose to use David in a special way. David makes plans to rebuild the temple. However, in chapter 7, the prophet Nathan receives word from The Lord that David is to be a warrior for the Lord rather than a builder. David had to accept that this was God's plan and utilize the opportunities given to him.

My Bible's footnotes made a good point...accepting God's "no" often requires as great a faith as carrying out His "yes".

David prays to The Lord after hearing of Nathan's revelation. He says in verse 28, "Your covenant is trustworthy." God's promises are good! We need not worry about the future trying to grasp it with our own hands. Taking control of our lives often feels like holding a handful of sand. No matter our grip, a little will always slip through our fingers.

So hand it over to The Lord because He is all encompassing! A good reminder of his faithfulness in order to grow our own is found in 2 Corinthians 1:20...

"For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God."

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
