Great to have coffee and spend some time with my friend Don and his two sons, Gavin and Jay. We had an encouraging time of fellowship, talking about my testimony and how God rescued me from drug addiction. Sharing that I am now eight years clean and sober was encouraging for the boys. Afterward, Don took me down to Home Depot and we picked up socks for my street outreach. On Christmas Eve, I’ll be downtown helping people and preaching the gospel in Vancouver around Main and Hastings. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, my website is a free resource. If you’d like to support my street ministry outreach, thank you to the friends who help me reach people in addiction and in need. I truly appreciate your support.

Rembrandt van Rijn’s The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, 1633, is a breathtaking masterpiece, the artist’s only seascape. Painted with oil on canvas (160 x 128 cm), this work captures the biblical moment from Matthew 8:23–27, where Christ calms a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee. The towering waves, straining sails, and vivid emotions of the disciples, ranging from terror to desperate prayer, create a gripping narrative. Christ’s serene presence anchors the chaos, illuminated by Rembrandt’s genius use of light and shadow, with dynamic brushwork and a diagonal composition that pulls you into the heart of the tempest. Tragically, this iconic painting was stolen from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum on March 18, 1990, in the largest art heist in history. Despite global efforts, it remains missing, its empty frame a haunting symbol of cultural loss and the hope for its return. #ArtHistory #Rembrandt #TheStormOnTheSeaOfGalilee #Masterpiece #DutchArt #Baroque #StolenArt #IsabellaStewartGardnerMuseum #ArtHeist #CulturalHeritage #Painting #ArtLovers #Museum #LostArt #HopeForRecovery

🌸 Understanding Anorexia Nervosa: Why We Need to Do Better 🌸 🗓 Published in @JAMAPsych, June 2025 Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is not just about losing weight or avoiding food. It's a serious mental health condition—often misunderstood—that affects both the mind and body in deep and life-threatening ways. 💡 1. What Is Anorexia Nervosa Really? AN is a mental illness where a person: Struggles with body image and fears gaining weight. Severely limits food intake or uses harmful methods to control weight (like vomiting or over-exercising). Often ends up at an extremely low body weight. But this is just the surface. Inside, there is often: Anxiety, fear, and deep emotional pain. A sense of control through food restriction. A belief that they’re not “sick enough” to need help—even when they are. ⚠️ 2. Why Is Anorexia So Dangerous? It affects every organ in the body—heart, brain, bones, hormones. It has one of the highest death rates of any mental illness, second only to opioid addiction. Many people struggle for years, with only 50–60% reaching long-term recovery. 😞 3. What’s Wrong with Current Treatment? Most current treatments focus heavily on: Weight gain and Getting people to eat again While this is important—especially when someone is medically at risk—it’s not enough. 👉 The problem? We treat the body first, but often forget the mind. Many people relapse because their emotional struggles weren’t addressed. Some feel judged or misunderstood when their only goal is to reach a certain weight. 🧠 4. What Needs to Change? The article urges doctors, researchers, and mental health systems to: ✔️ Stop treating weight as the only sign of recovery ✔️ Focus more on mental health, emotional healing, and body image ✔️ Include psychologists, psychiatrists, dietitians, and medical doctors in a team approach ✔️ Start treatment early, especially in teens and young adults ✔️ Listen to patients—especially when they say, “My thoughts, not my weight, are the real issue.” 💬 5. What Does This Mean for You or Your Loved One? 🌼 If you're struggling with AN: Know that you are not alone, and this is not your fault. You deserve care that treats your mind and your body, not just your weight. Healing takes time—and that’s okay. 🌼 If you’re a parent, friend, or partner: Understand that it’s not “just a phase” or “about vanity.” Try not to focus only on food or weight. Ask: “How are you feeling inside?” Help the person find care that includes mental health support, not just food plans. 💖 6. What Can We Hope For? The future of anorexia treatment should be: 🌱 More compassionate 🌱 More scientific 🌱 More complete We need to: 🔬 Do more research on why AN happens 🧩 Create personalized treatments 👩‍⚕️ Train more professionals in eating disorder care 📣 Fight stigma—because AN can affect anyone, not just young white girls 🤝 Work together—across psychology, medicine, families, and communities 📢 Final Message: You are not defined by your weight. Your struggles are real. And your recovery deserves attention—not just for your body, but for your whole self. Let’s stop oversimplifying anorexia. Let’s start treating the person, not just the number on the scale. 💜 #AnorexiaRecovery #EatingDisordersAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #WholePersonHealing #JAMAPsychiatry #YouAreNotAlone #HopeForRecovery #BodyAndMind jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
