Almighty God, our Father,

Enlighten our minds to an awareness
and to a renewed conviction

because it is created
in your image and likeness.
Help us to teach by word
and the example of our lives
that life occupies the first place,
that human life is precious
because it is the gift of God
whose love is infinite.
Give us the strength to …

The tensions between Kennedy and Castro intensified, notably highlighted by the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion in April 1961, where CIA-backed Cuban exiles attempted to overthrow Castro’s government. Castro’s agreement to allow the Soviet Union to install nuclear launch pads in Cuba, uncovered during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, further strained relations. His condemnation of US-led intrusions into Cuban territory, coupled with Kennedy’s portrayal of Cuba as a pawn of Russia, only heightened animosity between the two leaders. Less than a week after Kennedy’s address, he was tragically assassinated.

Anonymous comments are known to bring out the worst in people. If you are scrolling TikTok, Instagram, or Reddit, you shouldn’t read the comments thoroughly and take them to heart. People will say awful things not because they believe them but to get a rise from their fellow commenters. Some trolls believe what they’re saying, using hyperbolic language to communicate it and get people talking, but just because they use rhetoric effectively doesn’t mean they are worth your energy.
It’s easy to dismiss anonymous trolls, but what about the ones who are parts of your family? This is a mere theory, but I think that texting inspires a similar effect that commenting does. It’s unbelievably easy to type something up and send it without ever saying it out loud and, in turn, regret your words, whether you said them or not. Some of these parenting texts should have been left in the drafts.
![‘So many [kids] have attention seekers for parents now’: Dad disciplines daughter for cutting second period math class by converting bedroom into ‘personal jail cell’ #Fun](http://unitedyam.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/so-many-kids-have-attention-seekers-for-parents-now-dad-disciplines-daughter-for-cutting-second-period-math-class-by-converting-bedroom-into-personal-jail-cell-fun.jpg "‘So many [kids] have attention seekers for parents now’: Dad disciplines daughter for cutting second period math class by converting bedroom into ‘personal jail cell’ #Fun")
If there is one thing you can guarantee about having kids, it’s that they are going to act out sometimes. It’s only normal to push the boundaries and rebel, and although it can be a stressful experience for the parents it is important to only respond appropriately. Unfortunately, moms and dads often have very different ideas of appropriate ways to manage the behavior of their children and this can cause its fair share of controversy.
This is exactly what gained attention on Twitter recently after a father chose to punish his daughter for cutting class by turning her room into a ‘jail cell’. Removing all the furniture and even giving her a uniform of a T-shirt to wear, viewers were skeptical that this act of discipline would be helpful. If nothing else, it seems a completely disproportionate reaction to missing one class. There have got to be better ways to respond to this.
Christians, it’s time for us to throw our full support behind Kamala Harris for president.

Charles McNeal, who is allegedly a former US Air Force intelligence insider, asserts that he was once recruited into a secretive unit responsible for maintaining a 70-year truce between the U.S. government and an alien civilization. He claims that this truce is about to collapse, which, according to him, will trigger a series of “dramatic events.” These events supposedly include a global conflict and a “staged alien invasion” using “reverse-engineered UFO technology.” McNeal also alleges that for decades, there has been a deliberate effort to ease humanity into accepting the reality of extraterrestrial life through films, books, and television shows…
