The M.A.S. In Christmas

Let's spread Christmas cheer.

The M.A.S. In Christmas
NOAA

I always hear everyone say, “Don’t forget the CHRIST in Christmas.” And I absolutely agree. For, if it weren’t for Jesus and his birth and all the angels and the star and all that make Christmas, Christmas we wouldn’t have Christmas. However, with all the humbug and everything un-CHRIST like going on I wanted to remind everyone to not forget the M.A.S. in Christmas, Make America Splendid.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. - ELF

I think that every single one of us could take some advice from Buddy the Elf. Rather than yelling and fighting and complaining and bashing let's all try to spread the cheer, talk about happiness and the things we are grateful for and how lucky we are to live this life and enjoy this holiday season.

Not everyone gets the chance to enjoy these amazing times that we are so fortunate to. I for one have a family, food, and a roof over my head that I am eternally grateful for, I think America is pretty dang Splendid.

This holiday season I am more grateful than ever and that is because the older I get the more thankful I am for the life I am given. I could complain about the little money I have, or this crappy Nebraska winter weather, or the fact that my finals weeks is going to be the worst one yet. But instead of complaining and dwelling on the negative things in life why not spread a little Christmas cheer and make America Splendid?

This holiday season, let us all join in making life and America and everyone splendid. Let us not try to fix things or make sure that things are how we want them, let us not be selfish and negative and worried and stressed. This holiday season, let’s give all of our worries to CHRIST and God and let’s make sure we celebrate and are grateful and happy and enjoy both the CHRIST and the M.A.S. this holiday season.

~Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
