“I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong and be a man! Keep the mandate of the Lord, your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, commands, ordinances, and decrees as they are written in the law of Moses, that you may succeed in whatever you do, and wherever you turn.” (1 Kings 2:2-3)

James Van Der Beek’s Death Highlights Rising Colorectal Cancer In Young Adults
FYI. ICYMI.

James Van Der Beek, lead actor in 1990s hit Dawson's Creek, died on Thursday at age 48 after a multi-year battle with colorectal cancer. His death highlights a growing crisis of young adults being diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is a malignant disease, often arising from slow-growing polyps in the lining of the large intestine or rectum. It primarily affects adults over 45 and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.
Van Der Beek, who died less than 2 1/2 years after being diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, used his platform to urge screenings from age 45 and warned people to watch for even subtle symptoms.

Fwd: Renowned Dilbert cartoonist announces intent to convert | Catholic News Agency
Date: January 7, 2026 at 1:13:11 PM PST
Excerpt from https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/268917/scott-adams-conversion?Adams appeared to invoke " Pascal's Wager," which is an argument about the risks and rewards of following Jesus Christ, which was articulated by the 17th-century French Catholic philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal.The argument was not meant to be a "proof" for God or even an argument about whether God exists. Rather, Pascal argued that accepting God can lead one to eternal life if he exists and it carries little risk even if he did not exist, but rejecting God will lead to eternal consequences if he exists and does not yield significant benefits even if he did not exist.As Adams summarized his view: "If it turns out that there''s nothing there, I've lost nothing, but I've respected your wishes, and I like doing that. If it turns out there is something there and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win."

Protect Yourself from Social Security Scams | SSA
From https://www.ssa.gov/scam/
--------------------------------------------------
Criminals continue to impersonate SSA and other government agencies in an attempt to obtain personal information or money.
Scammers might call, email, text, write, or message you on social media claiming to be from the Social Security Administration or the Office of the Inspector General. They might use the name of a person who really works there and might send a picture or attachment as "proof."

Wisdom from Warren Buffett
My advice: Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them.
Don't count on a newsroom mix-up: Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it.
Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it's hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.
Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman.
It's never too late to change. Remember to thank America for maximizing your opportunities. But it is – inevitably – capricious and sometimes venal in distributing its rewards.
Choose your heroes very carefully and then emulate them. You will never be perfect, but you can always be better.
