2 Timothy 2:15 Paul knows, as he writes this second letter to Timothy, his ‘son’ in the faith, his time is short. He chooses to encourage Timothy to be strong and unwavering in the Truth and to study God’s Word, to be as a workman who has no cause to be ashamed. Godly character is skillfully woven into his instruction. Paul encourages Timothy to conform to the will of God in thought, word and deed, to pursue faith, love and peace in the fellowship of believers. To be kind to everyone, mild tempered, a skillful teacher, patient and willing to suffer wrong. Studying Jesus, the Word of God, is powerful, necessary to know what godly character truly is in the eyes of God. We study, we ‘eat the scrolls’, the very Word of God, just as Ezekiel, Jeremiah and John did. We take in the nourishment of the Word, receiving its power, its strength and wisdom for whatever we face. Without it, being patient, having the strength to endure and the ability to preserve peace wouldn’t be possible. We read Paul’s letter to Timothy and are encouraged to study. We’re desperately aware of how much we need Him to be godly, to imitate Him and to accomplish His purpose through us. So we come before him, excited to learn… More. We’ll know it’s time to get up when He says ‘Class is over for today. Now go in My strength and power. Be who I’ve called you to be and do what I’ve called you to do.’ Lord, today, whether sharing our faith or being tested, would You find us imitating You. We’re eager to present ourselves to You as followers of Jesus. Help us handle Your Word in what You’ve already established as True. Fill us with Your Wisdom and understanding. Keep us from misusing Your Word and leading others astray. May our confidence be in You alone.

In some cases, a senior will indeed lose around $1,000 under the new Social Security rules. This specifically applies for those collecting Social Security who remain younger than full retirement age throughout 2027. If the person earns: * $25,560: No benefits would be withheld under the annual earnings test. * $26,560: The beneficiary is $1,000 over the limit, meaning $500 in benefits could be withheld. * $27,500: The beneficiary is $1,940 over the limit, resulting in $970 being withheld. * $30,000: Earnings are $4,440 over the limit, producing $2,220 in benefit withholding. Thompson said many of his clients will see the impact firsthand. “Although their Social Security benefits are not subject to payroll taxes, their earned income is," he said. "I like to compare what they are receiving in Social Security benefits versus how much they are paying in payroll taxes so they can see the difference. I often ask them why they continue to work, and in some instances, they simply enjoy what they do.” Are Social Security Benefits Permanently Lost? The benefits will not be lost forever. The Social Security Administration (SSA) says on its website that benefits withheld under the retirement earnings test are not “lost.” Once the beneficiary reaches full retirement age, the agency will increase their monthly benefit to account for the months in which benefits were withheld. That is because at full retirement age, the SSA recalculates the person's benefit by adjusting the reduction factors originally applied to the benefit. It also reviews the earnings records of beneficiaries who continue working to determine whether their additional earnings increase their monthly benefit. “This adjustment isn't a new tax, but rather an annual increase tied to national wage growth that allows Social Security to collect additional revenue as wages rise,

🌍 Earth in 1972 vs. Earth in 2026: Our Orbit Is Getting Crowded! In 1972, Earth's orbit was relatively quiet, with only a small number of satellites circling our planet. Today, thousands of active satellites and millions of pieces of space debris orbit Earth. From communication and navigation satellites to abandoned rocket stages and fragments from old collisions, our planet is surrounded by an increasingly crowded space environment. 🚀 As humanity expands its presence in space, a new challenge is emerging: space pollution. Why does it matter? Space debris can collide with working satellites, damage spacecraft, and threaten astronauts. Even tiny fragments can cause serious damage at orbital speeds. Space is vast, but the region around Earth is becoming increasingly busy. Exploring space is our future. Protecting it must be part of that future! 🌌 #SpaceDebris #Earth #Satellites #SpaceExploration #SpacePollution #AyEuniVERSE

Spray-On Skin, pioneered by Australian surgeon Dr. Fiona Wood, lets doctors treat severe burns using a patient's own skin cells. Traditional burn treatment involves cutting large sheets of healthy skin from another part of the body to graft over the burn. That creates a second painful wound and can leave permanent mesh-like scars. With the RECELL system, doctors instead take a tiny, postage-stamp-sized biopsy of unburned skin and place it into an enzyme processor in the operating room. In about 30 minutes, the device turns the sample into a living liquid mist containing basal skin cells, fibroblasts, and pigment cells. This mist can be sprayed over a burn area 80 times larger than the original sample, helping smooth, natural skin regrow across the wound within days. Why do medical breakthroughs like this receive less attention than consumer gadgets? #BurnRecovery #SprayOnSkin #MedicalBreakthrough #RegenerativeMedicine
