"Happiness Homework: How To Re-Wire Your Brain"

While the world is busy panicking over the new variant, Omicron, keep calm and remember the formula for better physical health is simple:

Eat, exercise and sleep in the proper amounts equals better health. Simple? Yes. Easy? Noooooo... Especially during the holidays.

But did you know the same can be said for better mental health? Gratitude, positivity and thankfulness makes for a happier 'brain'.

Researchers from Indiana University published a study involving 43 subjects suffering from anxiety and/or depression. Half were assigned a simple gratitude exercise which required them to write letters expressing gratitude. The other half received "therapy as usual" but did not write gratitude letters.

Three months later all 43 underwent brain scans in which the area associated with gratitude and happiness was more active in those who wrote the letters.

What if an attitude of gratitude doesn't come naturally?

According to Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage "The same brain plasticity that allows you to master simple skills or sports, also allows you to train yourself to be more positive."

Achor contends that while we may think success will bring us happiness, the lab-validated truth is that happiness brings us more success. And who doesn't want that?

According to Got Questions.org:

"Feeling and expressing appreciation is good for us. Like any wise father, God wants us to learn to be thankful for all the gifts He has given us (James 1:17). It is in our best interest to be reminded that everything we have is a gift from Him. Without gratefulness, we become arrogant and self-centered. We begin to believe that we have achieved everything on our own. Thankfulness keeps our hearts in right relationship to the Giver of all good gifts."

November is a good time to do a little Happiness Homework and re-wire our brains to see things more positively. How about we update "You are what you eat" to "You are what you think"?

A wise man once said: "Human beings are prone to covetousness. We tend to focus on what we don't have. By giving thanks continually we are reminded of how much we do have. When we focus on blessings rather than wants, we are happier. When we start thanking God for the things we usually take for granted, our perspective changes. We realize that we could not even exist without the merciful blessings of God." -- Got Questions.org

"In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"    --  (1st CORINTHIANS 5:18).

    "Edible Vaccines: Is Bill Gates Into Pharming Now?"


    For those of you who are vaccine-hesitant because you're afraid of needles--problem solved.

    Ever hear of the mRNA-in-lettuce initiative?

    Sounds like a joke, but will probably be on your plate in just a couple of years as researchers are even now tossing around the idea of a vaccine salad.

    That's right gang. Researchers are experimenting with the idea of inserting mRNA vaccines into lettuce and spinach. Yum.

    The National Science Foundation has forked over $500,000 in grant money to UC-San Diego and Carnegie Mellon University to get the research on the table.

    According to Juan Giraldo, Associate Professor of Botany and Plant Sciences:

    "Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person. We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their gardens."

    And that ain't all folks.

    Take a wild guess at who owns the most farmland (or should we say pharmland?) in the United States--none other than the irrepressible Mr. Vaccine himself--Bill Gates!

    Coincidence? Who knows, but having a vaccine shoved down our throats is more than a little unappetizing.

    A wise man once said: "We should all be very concerned about this news. Whoever controls the food, controls the world."--Jeff Thompson, NOQ Report

    "I am warning you ahead of time, dear friends, so that you can watch out and not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people. I don't want you to lose your own secure footing. But grow in the special favor and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2ND PETER 3:17).

    "Operation: Depopulation"


     Earth is in the midst of a 'climate emergency' and according to The Oxford University Press on behalf of The American Institute of Biological Sciences:

    "Scientists have a moral obligation to clearly warn humanity of any catastrophic threat and to 'tell it like it is.'"
    And back in 2019, they did.

    In a study published in the journal BioScience, the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), urged depopulation.

    You read that right, gang--they want to get rid of us.

    Why? Because for the last 40 years (when "global cooling" failed to materialize), they've been predicting global warming would eventually become a major (and we mean major with a capital M) threat. And while their goal was to get ahead of the problem before it was too late...well...one thing led to another and they got sidetracked.

    According to Bloomberg:
    "Now four decades later, a larger group of scientists is sounding another , much more urgent alarm. More than 11,000 experts from around the world are calling for a critical addition to the main strategy of dumping fossil fuels for renewable energy: there needs to be far fewer humans on the planet."
    Yes indeedy people, some of us have got to go.

    The population "must be stabilized--and, ideally, gradually reduced--within a framework that ensures social integrity," the report states.

    (Hmmm--what's that suppose to mean?)

    "The problem is enormous," says Bloomberg, "yet the signatories still manage to strike an upbeat tone."

    And why shouldn't they be upbeat? Odds are they won't be among those eliminated.

    InfoWars put it this way,
    "In frighteningly Orwellian doublespeak, the IPCC concludes policies to reduce the population will actually 'act to sustain life' on Earth."
    Yeah--but who's life?

    A wise man once said: "God's ways lead to life and blessings, but many people would rather die than follow Him. They view God's ways as restrictive. Oppressive. Antiquated. Harmful. In reality, God's ways lead to human thriving. To liberty. To freedom. To fullness. As Jesus said, "I have come that they might have life, and have it abundantly" (JOHN 10:10). -- Michael Brown, Christian Post
    "They were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword, famine, and disease..." (REVELATION 6:18).

    "Biden's Unlawful Overreach"

    What do Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, South Dakota, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, and Florida all have in common?

    Each state has announced they would take legal action against the White House over its "unconstitutional" employer vaccine mandate.

    Last Thursday, OSHA released details of the plan which requires employers with 100 or more employees to put vaccine requirements in place by January 4 for all staff, or face fines of up to $13,600 per violation.

    And that ain't all folks.

    OSHA has also indicated the vax mandate may be "expanded" to include small businesses, too.

    According to Florida Governor Ron De Santis:

    "We started with 15 days to slow the spread and now it's get jabbed or lose your job. We're supposed to be a government of laws..."

    Governor De Santis has a point. We're supposed to be a government of laws, but we have a president who proudly admits he is breaking the law.

    Anyone remember when the CDC extended the eviction moratorium? Joe Biden said he knew it was illegal, but he didn't care.

    And how about the millions of illegal immigrants flooding into the country? Do you think old Joe cares about that?

    So we have De Santis and at least 14 other states suing the president because Biden knows this vaccine mandate is in violation of the Constitution and simply doesn't care.

    When Jesus was asked by His disciples what would be the signs of His coming and the end of the age, He said (among other things), that "lawlessness will abound."

    For some reason, it never occurred to us that the POTUS would be among the worst offenders.

    A wise woman once said: "Biden is trying to see how much he can get away with, and he deserves a sharp and immediate rebuke. Pandemic or not, the separation of powers still applies, and no president should be able to defy this constitutional principle in a blatant manner without facing serious consequences for doing so."     -- Kaylee McGhee White, Washington Examiner

    "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold" (MATTHEW 24:12).

    "Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls" (JAMES 1:21).

    "But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love" (REVELATION 2:4).
