  Many of us remember the saying” What would Jesus do! when one encountered a questionable situation where you were not sure of what you should do. The answer was to think of what Jesus would do and just do that. Today the world is struggling to find the answer to the question of being pro-choice or pro-life? Can and should a woman have a choice to have an abortion and end her pregnancy and the life of her unborn baby; or must she follow the law and continue the pregnancy and give birth to her baby without having any say in the matter. What would GOD DO? 
  The term pro-choice is defined by many different individuals, groups and organizations in many ways. The prevailing view is that to be pro-choice means believing that a woman has the right to choose to end her pregnancy at viability or 6 weeks and for any reason she chooses regardless of the circumstances. If the pregnancy was unplanned, or due to rape, or due to incest, or medical complications it should be the woman’s right or choice to decide to have or not have an abortion. What would GOD do? 
  Pro-life advocates believe that abortion is killing an unborn baby and can be done only if any one of the following conditions exist. The fetus cannot be older than six weeks, or the mother must be a victim of rape or incest, or if the mother’s health is at risk. What would GOD do? John 3:16 AND 17 are the most well known and most often quoted verses in the bible. In fact, most people have been "led to Jesus Christ" and begin their new lives as "Christians" by hearing a version of these words: John 3:16 reads: “for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:17 reads: for God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. But what do these and other bible verses reveal to us about God and his position, his stance on abortion and the pro-choice or pro-life movements?

  Bread and Milk

  From one of Sweden's most loved authors, an essayistic memoir about women and food, translated by Saskia Vogel. 
  Bread and Milk traces a life through food, from a bag of tangerines devoured in one sitting to the luxury of a grandmother’s rice pudding, from pancakes meant to make up for a mother’s absence to perfectly sliced tomatoes winning, at last, a distant father’s approval; it explores how food can fill an emptiness but also consume you. After all, what we eat is inexorably intertwined with how we love. 
  In this radiant memoir, one of Sweden’s most acclaimed writers considers the complex relationships between the women in her family as they struggle with financial and emotional vulnerability, and how those relationships replicate themselves in fraught and obsessive relationships with food. Bread and Milk is at once wholly original and a natural extension of the brazenly intelligent and personal writing that has come to define Karolina Ramqvist’s authorship. 
  ‘Karolina Ramqvist’s writing is straight-talking scripture, a spiritual text in memoir form. Food isn’t just love or its opposite; food marks time for the mortal body. Food is how people remember the people who no longer exist to make and eat food. Ramqvist’s mind is transgressively pragmatic, and a constant source of enlightenment. Instead of saying, “Look at what you didn’t know,” her book says, “Look at what you thought you didn’t know, but always did.”’ – Heidi Julavits, author of Directions to Myself 
  ‘Swedish novelist Ramqvist’s highly relatable memoir details the problems that can arise when a child associates food with love … The term “food memoir” doesn’t quite encompass her profound autobiographical journey … her story, with its lush and evocative prose, will speak to many readers.’ – Booklist

  Golda Meir: The Life and Legacy...

  Israel’s Day of Independence, Yom Ha’atzmaut, is celebrated on the fifth day of the Hebrew calendar in the month of Iyar. It is immediately preceded by Yom HaZikaron, the Memorial Day for the fallen Israeli soldiers who gave their lives for Israel’s establishment. Emphasis switches from the memorial celebration to the celebration of independence a few minutes after sundown.  
  	The day on which the state of Israel was signed into existence was May 14, 1948. Many important figures in Israeli history played a part in the establishment of the new state, and among the most iconic is the nation’s first female premier, Golda Meir. Known as the “uncrowned queen of Israel” and “Mother Courage,” Meir was an activist for many years, lobbying for a Jewish state in the Mandate of Palestine. She served in numerous capacities before her appointment as Prime Minister and remains one of the most revered Israeli leaders from the pre-state years through the long-sought dream of a Jewish nation.  
  	One of eight children from a poverty-stricken family, she was to become an immigrant to a new land twice in her life. Meir and her parents fled from Kyiv during Russia's antisemitic pogroms in 1905, about a decade after the Dreyfus Affair in France. She grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before rising the ranks back in the Middle East. When it came to Israel and her role in its early years, she noted, "We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go." 
  	As in the days of the Biblical Hebrews’ migration out of Egypt under Pharaoh, finding a Jewish homeland meant the adjustment of national boundaries and the displacement of certain neighboring cultures. In the modern age, this has led to several major military conflicts and the need for an ongoing state of readiness within the Israeli military. Meir found herself at the helm of the Yom Kippur War, a time in which Israel was at its most vulnerable.

  Living with AuDHD is like being a unicorn—misunderstood, contradictory, and often invisible to others. You shine with creativity and innovation, but struggle to fit in - always feeling 'too much'. Autism and ADHD pull you in opposite directions, creating a lifetime of contradictions no one else can see. 
  AuDHD isn’t listed in diagnostic manuals because until 2013, you couldn’t be diagnosed with both conditions - despite a co-occurrence rate of approximately 50-70%. These two neurotypes often clash, like opposing magnets in the brain.ADHD craves novelty; autism resists change.ADHD misses details; autism hyper-focuses on them.ADHD perceives time as ‘now or not now’; autism sticks rigidly to schedules.ADHD seeks stimulation; autism is easily overwhelmed.ADHD thrives in chaos; autism needs structure.ADHD says yes; autism says no.Autism makes the rules, ADHD breaks them.If you’re exhausted reading this, just imagine what it’s like to live it. 
  Leanne Maskell was diagnosed with ADHD at 25, but it took 7 more years to learn she was also autistic. AuDHD: Blooming Differently chronicles her turbulent journey—from a childhood of vulnerability and trauma to a high-achieving model and lawyer, outwardly successful but inwardly struggling. 
  The book exposes the relentless burnout of not understanding your brain and the power of self-awareness in finally thriving. Today, Leanne is a successful author, coach, and National Specialist Coach of the Year. 
  More than just a memoir, this book offers practical insights for AuDHD individuals and those who support them—essential for psychiatrists, educators, and anyone seeking to understand neurodivergence. 
  With lived experience and professional expertise, AuDHD: Blooming Differently is an honest and transformative guide to rewriting the neurodivergent narrative.
