We’ve all been there. A friend is telling you about a problem and you jump in with what you think is an obvious solution. But instead of being grateful, they get annoyed. “I just need to vent!” they protest.
When someone is upset, our first instinct is often to help “fix” the situation and make them feel better. But sometimes people don’t want advice or solutions. They just need to express their frustrations out loud to a sympathetic listener.

How did you first react?
I found out at 3 in the morning. I was putting away some laundry and tidying my room before crashing. The ticket was on my dresser so I gave it a quick check assuming it would be a bust so I could throw it in the waste paper basket.
When the numbers matched I sort of swooned and got dizzy. I kept double checking and stayed up to go to the lottery office when it opened. Some of the longest hours of my life. I was very red and warm, I kept fanning myself for a few days.
When couples get married, one of the many important decisions they face is whether or not to combine their finances. While keeping separate accounts may seem easier, there are some significant benefits to merging finances that couples should consider.
Solidifying Commitment: Money is more than just currency; it’s a representation of our values, priorities, and dreams. Combining finances is a symbolic gesture of two lives becoming one, reinforcing the commitment and trust that underscores a marriage.
During a recent NCAA football game against Juniata, Haley Van Voorhis, a safety for Division-III Shenandoah University, made history as the first female non-kicker to participate. She entered the game in the first quarter when Shenandoah was leading by 26 points and managed to register a quarterback hurry on third down.
Van Voorhis expressed her exhilaration after the match, stating to The Washington Post, “It’s an amazing thing. I just wanted to get out and do my thing. I aim to demonstrate to others what women are capable of and to show my own capabilities. This is a significant milestone. I turned the impossible into the possible, and that thrills me.”
Shenandoah ultimately defeated Juniata with a score of 48-7.
Standing at 5-foot-6 and weighing 145 pounds, this junior player had previously spent two seasons with the junior varsity team. The Plains, Virginia-born athlete attended Christchurch for high school, receiving a 2019 all-state honorable mention. Unfortunately, her senior season was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Apart from football, Van Voorhis showcases her athleticism in Shenandoah’s track and field team as a sprinter.

Just a quick note for anyone who needs to hear this:
You’re not behind. Period.
Nor are you ahead! We know this because whenever you observe the natural world anywhere, you’ll never see anything that’s ahead or behind. Even if one tree, somewhere out in the forest, grows more quickly than the one next to it, this wouldn’t mean that the slower tree is behind.
