CTP (S3EOctSpecial5 BAWks:1-3) Grief, Plainspoken and True
[BOOKS / AUTHORS Weeks - Week 1 sub-episode 3 (Wed 20251015)]
We explore grief without turning it into a checklist, and we learn how mentoring, listening, and even awkward honesty can support real healing. Doug Lawrence shares the story behind Grief: The Silent Pandemic and why writing became part of his path forward.
• Books & Authors Weeks context and setup
• Doug’s RCMP background and mentoring journey
• Why grief “stages” are guides, not rules
• Asking for help and accepting support
• Embrace the awkward as a practical skill
• Listening without fixing as core care
• Writing as therapy and public service
• Overview of Doug’s three books and themes
• Awards recognition and audience feedback
• How to reach Doug (http://TalentC.ca) for mentoring or questions

#GOD, gave us all #FreeWill.
Some, can, do, choose #EVIL.
While #Jesus said TURN THE OTHER CHEEK he did NOT say ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE CONTINUALLY ABUSED.
He also said, there are TIMES, "those who have a garment should sell it and obtain a Sword" not to be confused with, nor contradictory to, #CONTEXTmatters, "turn Swords into Plowshares!" EACH has its legit TIME AND PLACE. The ISSUE for US, knowing the difference WHEN OR WHICH APPLIES.
But, again, SOME CHOOSE EVIL, and EVIL at times will not be reasoned with, appeasing makes matters WORSE, that EVIL must be CONFRONTED!
"Only thing necessary Evil prevail, good peoples do nothing!" BURKE - not direct from the #Bible but #BIBLICAL all throughout the #CONTEXT.

From email to #EdBonderenka (of https://tinyurl.com/YAHArchives) YAH Show (@WAAMRadio @WAAM1600 #Michigan (and we are (long standing tradition and history behind) #Michiganians NOT FOWL #Michiganders (we are NOT invasive like Canadian Geese chasing our Children around Playgrounds/Parks))) and others following my call into YAH today....
As I said on YAH, I complain about SUSAN COLLINS (and, yes, some others, glad CORNYN is now GONE, go @KenPaxtonTX) but if I were in ME right now I would be ENTHUSIASTICALLY supporting her re-election (better at 80% (as I said, or as you/Ed said at even) 60% than any Democrat who I agree with 0%)...
There is MICRO and MACRO as well as short, medium, long, term STRATEGY has to be looked at. As most know I am webmaster for https://udmi-rtl.org (Life). I WILL NOT vote for a supposed PRO LIFE DUMBocrats, as you(Ed) pointed out on your YAH Show, to do so it would be a Vote for Nancy PIGlosi or HACKJOB Jeffries (and other PRO BABY MURDER leadership) to control the ...

David and I during this conversation may not have always seemed to be on the exact same page, but rest assured we were citing from the SAME BOOK: THE BIBLE...
Bottom-line, while I talked about "my books" important to note they are #Christian manuscripts and point back ultimately to the most important book ever THE BOOK - THE BIBLE; like when we discuss the "4 types of Love" as Biblically defined as part of our discussion (No, PHILLY, not named after a pony, LOL):

@AngelStudiosInc #AngelAndTheBadman #movie ... Remember, GOD has all through time used far from perfect (and none of us are perfect) people coaxed to aid in good!!! The "turning back on of the water" via BADMAN's actions is example of such and that he had "good" in him it needed to be coaxed out for his redemption journey path toward being the "better man" Penny knew deep down he was, or could be. more in my discussion with RICK on all that and more... [note: the #movies (the original, the remake) #review begins about 30m into the episode when/where I join]
Grok response:
The water scene is the perfect illustration. Quirt’s outlaw reputation is the only leverage that opens the dam, then the family’s quiet kindness turns the neighbor into a friend. Flawed tools used for good, good coaxed out of the tool himself. Classic...
