Check out this bottle ...and look at the date established. 1862 !
While the recipe was created ( I think) by a guy who cooked for King George years before, in the midst of the worst time in our country's history ...someone (or several someones) decided, "We need more flavor for our meals!"
As caregivers, we often find ourselves embroiled in all types of conflicts and challenges. Can we offer more flavor?
YES!

"Friendly Fire." As a caregiver, do you feel attacked by your own team?
Monday Jul 13, 2020
Monday Jul 13, 2020
In the physical therapy room at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Gracie and I encountered wounded soldiers dealing with various forms of "friendly fire." One soldier in particular lost a leg due to being hit by his own team ...and other soldiers dealt with crumbling marriages and families as they struggled to recover from devastating wounds.
How many of us deal with deep wounds caused by those “on our own team?”
How many of us have caused damage to the ones we love and swore to protect?
Sometimes “friendly fire” wounds are compounded with the shame of the wound itself. We feel like our wounds come with dishonor, and our fists clench with a rage —and we want to strike the one(s) who hurt us. One only needs to watch five minutes of the news each day to see the fury erupting in our country over the feelings of mistreatment. The protests on our street reflect that being wounded by those on the same team can leave scars that take can take generations to heal.
In moments of clarity, we can also realize with horror how poorly we treated those counting on us—and the guilt and shame fill us with despair. In our pain, we might even lash out at people who are simply trying to encourage us.
In a quiet corner of a military hospital, a teachable moment for our nation’s current challenges occurred. When gripped with resentment over wounds that should not have happened, we discover the path to recovery is flanked by those walking in their own healing. Their successes help inspire our own.

#423 The Deceitful Allure Of Rage
Sunday Jun 21, 2020
Sunday Jun 21, 2020
From Hope for the Caregiver 6/20/2020.
A pastor friend once told me, "Rage is the most delicious of sins - it gives the illusion of power."
As a caregiver, we find ourselves faced with a long list of injustices. Do we rage against them? What does that look like as a caregiver?
For me, i discovered a surprising antidote for rage.
We talked about it on the air, plus took calls ...one in particular provided an opportunity to explore the current destruction in our cities as a teachable moment.

#410 Leaving the Chapel for the Dungeon .
Sunday May 31, 2020
Sunday May 31, 2020
On the coast of Ghana (where we work with our prosthetic limb outreach), we visited a castle in Cape Coast. This castle served as the holding place for thousands of slaves. I've taken several teams there over the years, and touring the castle is incredibly somber event.
As our country convulses with rage, we caregivers understand the despair, fear, and anger that erupts when we feel powerless and treated poorly. Yet, it's in that very scenario that the church is called to leave the insulated chapel ...and enter the dungeons filled with suffering.

#400 My Toughest Issue as a Caregiver? Knowing What is Mine ...and Not Mine.
Wednesday May 13, 2020
Wednesday May 13, 2020
From HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER 5/9/2020
A reporter once asked me, What's the toughest issue for you as a caregiver?
"Hands down," I replied. "Knowing What is Mine and Not Mine."
All too many times, because I felt out of control, I tried to insert myself into things that were not mine to control (or attempt to control). Is that a common feeling for you as a caregiver?
We discussed this on the show ...plus we took calls. Some of these calls are hard to hear, but that's the purpose of this show ...to provide a safe place for people to share these burdens.
