Hope all is well with all!<\/div>\n

Just wanted to share a little Christmas “miracle.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For months, since I lost my kayak (it fell, unnoticed, out of an old truck I use), I’ve been driving my wife Lisa a bit crazy, telling her repeatedly how much I miss kayaking. Since relocating to north-central Florida (a small city near Saint Augustine), I’ve kayaked at more than a hundred launches, reveling in God’s Creation, including (and often especially) tree, birds and, yes, alligators (I’ve seen several thoughand in the past two decades).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I kept thinking about where to get a new kayak, and figuring it would be about $1,000. <\/strong>We are living closer to the vest and really are not in a spending mood these days (who is?). Should I even bother, with a new boat, when some of those close to me worry about how far I often paddle?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Two weeks ago a viewer of Spirit Daily<\/em><\/span> sent Lisa and me Christmas gifts, as do a number of folks who follow the site. She’s a very generous and spiritually “in-tune” reader from Pennsylvania (I came to learn Philly area; I’ve never spoken with her).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyway, below<\/em> I attach her gift for me. She knew NOTHING about my kayaking\u00a0let alone that I’d lost my kayak.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Her gift?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A navigation compass,<\/strong> (exactly like one I had used on my little kayak), and in the pouch, a check for–$1,000.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Her note, also out of the blue, said simply, “Go back to what you love.”<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
She later explained that she was told to do and say what she did and never questions what comes from the Lord, neither adding or subtracting. She just “goes with it.” (“Go back to what you love.”)<\/em><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
That was it.<\/div>\n
I thought of kayaking almost instantly, before even seeing the check.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I will now replace the one I lost, which was aging badly anyway.<\/div>\n

Is i “long covid” (effects from that virus that can last years) or in some cases, vaccines?<\/p>\n

A recent social media post:<\/p>\n

“Doctors say more Americans are using the same phrase in clinics in 2025: ‘I don\u2019t feel sick, but I don\u2019t feel right either.’ It’s not one symptom, but a mix\u2014low energy, brain fog, poor sleep, digestive discomfort, or emotional flatness. Health experts say this vague feeling is becoming common, especially among working-age adults juggling constant mental and digital load.”<\/p>\n

Let’s hear your experiences (spirdaily@aol.com).<\/p>\n

When it comes to illness and healing, far more uplifting was a recent article in the London Mail,<\/em><\/a><\/span> detailing the case of Rosemary Thornton, 66, who had been pleading in prayer for a miracle after the devastating loss of her husband.<\/p>\n

Instead, she soon faced a devastating crisis of her own.<\/p>\n

In 2018\u2014two years after her husband died by suicide\u2014the Midwestern writer experienced abnormal vaginal bleeding that sent her urgently to a gynecologist. Tests soon confirmed the worst: Thornton, then 59, was diagnosed with stage-two cervical cancer, a disease that strikes roughly 13,000 women in the United States each year and claims about 4,000 lives.<\/p>\n

During emergency surgery for it, Mrs. Thornton “bled out” and with a plummeting blood pressure, was soon clinically “dead.”<\/p>\n

Of course, she was anything but<\/span>\u2014in fact more aware and alive than ever, at total peace, if now looking down at the doctors, nurses, and her body.<\/p>\n

It was such a pleasant experience\u2014leaving the earthly body\u2014that she didn’t want to return but as in so many of these cases, she allegedly was told by angels she must.<\/p>\n

‘I felt disappointed. I even argued with the angels not to send me back,” she told the London tabloid.\u00a0Tests apparently concluded that Rosemary had suffered a heart attack, which caused her to cross over to the other side. But she was more surprised that four days later, she had no evidence of cancer and that her blood work was textbook perfect.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The surgeon said my tissue was so pink and perfect she would have never believed I\u2019d had cancer,'” Thornton said. “The cancer was gone, but more than that, my soul was made whole again.”<\/p>\n

Speaking of medical issues, curious it is how some conservatives (including Christians), especially in the podcast business, are now promoting psychedelics as a panacea for all sort of mental issues.<\/p>\n

Don’t listen. LSD, psilocybin, cannabis, and the like are great gateways for evil spirits.<\/p>\n

Kudos, however,\u00a0 to the increasing number of such podcasters who are informing their viewer\/listernerships of demonology in general.<\/p>\n

We had two articles recently on the famous and controversial writer-priest, Malachi Martin.<\/p>\n

In it was mentioned the fact that after leaving the Jesuit order, he had lived with a woman named\u00a0 Kakia Livanos (widow of a shipping magnate) for thirty-seven years and allegedly had trysts with others. [scroll for more:]<\/em>
