Wow this year is FLYING by! (Smirk)If you are sensitive to current events in the United States, I share my Georgia senate runoff story which runs from 1:26 to 4:43. Other than political vortexes, I guess there is a polar vortex coming to Georgia soon so standby for how it goes. New things with me... I have an inhaler now, but hopefully won't need to use it ever. I have a desk job where I joyfully utilize my computer and communication skills. Lastly, I end with a visual scale of God with a message,

Yo,Here is the Instagram link to my lion drawing:https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ihmvbBchI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThanks for being here. Within 24 hours, my relationship with Riley (my fern) came up in conversation three different times. So, I might as well tell you too… We’ve gone through a lot between toxicity, control, smothering, distance, silence, brokenness, new environments, and most recently realizing how she thrives when I take care of my mental health😊 My therapist was excited!Topics

Greetins!There is a slight weight to this episode, but I would be lying if I said life were perfect all the time. Fall, election, Halloween, seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D), pandemic, etc. Thanks for making it this far 😊 Topic one and two include some side chatter of two hard times I witnessed, I did not include too much information though. Riley got hit hard by the hurricane but still stands strong! We had to do some pruning which means there could be things I need to sort through also 😉

Hi! 59 days until Christmas 😊 Hope you are doing ok. What’s it like out there? I will forewarn you this episode isn’t necessarily weighty but does lead into some important life questions. Some of dad’s wisdom comes in at 4:36 to 4:45 including the word “die.” Our last topic goes in depth on the importance of Jesus being a servant (13:06 to 19:08) which includes a few scriptures, see below for those details. Topics start at 4:12! Riley says hi too by the way :p"To when I hold on to good

Thanks for tuning in this week! Wow, sometimes things DO get difficult. As we know, it will be ok and you are your own worst critic. Shoutout to one of my favorite countries and my friend (you know who you are) for teaching me this phrase I will never forget… “Ne jemi ndryshe” which is Albanian for “We are different.” Twice I mention the book of Genesis from the Bible, the second time I read a scripture from it.

India, the United States, Nepal, Bangladesh, Norway, and the Philippines. I did some improv for the first time since March. I have converted back to putting liquid dairy creamer in my coffee due to it reducing the acidity (my dentist agreed with this theory.)

Hi! This might have the most focused yet tangential intro, but I am super proud of the transition out of it! This episode is a little on the “real talk about the valleys in life” side with some injected funnies. Topics one and two lead up to three which is the big kahuna (12:16 – 15:20.) We ALL go through hard times. I even read one of my favorite comfort passages of scripture to you. On a side note… I gave my website a makeover! www.johnmichaelcollins.comThanks for being awesome 😊"To when you beat

Don't be misled by the episode titles. Well, mmmm, yeah. The titles are a naturally accurate depiction of something on my mind, which I'm sure you've figured out by now. Hurricane Sally made her way inland and Riley and I made it through, she did lose a few more fronds though. I think she's gone through 15-20 since January? Atlanta is nice and I've visited 7 mail courier locations so far! In regard to this episode... The second topic may be sensitive to some. King Solomon is a guy from Biblical
