My “nostalgia” (if I ever had any) dribbled away entirely…and this Wednesday feels like a Monday times 3 million.

Would curses wound less
if they were unspoken?
Are blessings worth less
if left unspoken?
It’s the thought that counts
so the saying goes–
but kind words of truth
or ones which speak
genuine affirmation
can redeem a bad day
…even save a life
that’s falling away
~ Cale
Amplified Bible
“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the LORD.
Isaiah 54:17

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 19th, 2026 is “consistency.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
🍬🍬🍬
The consistency of faith
is like grandma’s taffy
Ingredients are boiled
till thick–then pulled
and stretched until
it’s shiny (like God’s grace
on a child’s face)–
Taffy is a chewy treat
tastes almost like
faith rewarded
Sweet!

~~~💙~~~
The heart is an organ
made to be strong
created for songs
to sing whole life long–
the heart is an organ
a passionate door
(each with unique key)
made to be strong
carry secrets and more–
my heart is an organ
made to last…
yet fragile as glass
~ Hagar

Now, I can’t say I’ve heard this straight from the bird’s beak (not even a wize owl’s), but my observation is that crows have a philosophy:
“Don’t let winter stop you from getting down there on the square and picking at whatever treats might be found between chill green grass blades! Picnickers are scarce in January.”
