Q discussed the secret message of the Thang
Discussion about kicking cancers @$$ especially Q who was diagnosed with leukemia over 7 years ago and the importance of battling through every hard thing.
Q shared battle cry of Psalm27: 1-3 and Philippians 4:13
On the way to work this morning while listening to a podcast a discussion about Philippians 4 was held. Most people think of that verse as if we rely firmly on God we can accomplish things, but if you look one verse prior it talks about through the highs and lows, good, bad and in between, we praise God. Let’s not forget that important piece and Praise God with every difficulty just as much as every good thing.

As I’ve gone through this past couple years, it’s become really apparent that laughing is a great remedy for the stuff that ales you.

The person who has a sense of humor is not just more relaxed in the face of a potentially stressful situation, but is more flexible in his approach.
JOHN MORREALL

Laughter connects you with people. It’s almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you’re just howling with laughter. Laughter is a force for democracy.
JOHN CLEESE
