I’m sure when any one of us look in the past there were times that we wish we could go back and fix some things. There are times we may have missed an opportunity. Maybe a relationship we wished we had put more effort into. Or a loved one who passed and we wish we had spoken more or handled something differently. It could have been a business opportunity or a job we gave up on. We all know how powerful prayer can be. We shouldn’t get stuck in regret. God knows how to make up for every opportunity that we have missed even if it was our fault. It’s tempting to say “oh well, I guess it’s too bad, I’ll never get that opportunity again”. In the book of Joel 225 God said “I will restore the years that have been stolen”. This means God can make up years of our life.
When I think of times spent as a kid with my father, playing and practicing baseball, I didn’t want those moments to end. After a while my father would tire and say he had to stop. Though I wanted to keep going I understood. Sometimes we would just talk and he would try to teach me.
When I got a little older and went to college I was in a season in my life where I was going out with friends, enjoying my youth, I didn’t realize how short the time was left with him, I missed that time, It was my fault. This I believe is where my faith helps me. All of those conversations I wish I had had with him, all of the unanswered questions, I know one day I will get a second chance. I sometimes worry that I’ll drive him crazy when I do see him again.
In Izaiah 38 King Hezekiah was struck with a serious illness. The prophet Izaiah informed him he would not recover. Hezekiah prayed to God, pleading that God remember his faithfulness. God heard his prayer and granted him 15 more years of life. Hezekiah was healed and as a sign of Gods promise, for the next 40 minutes, Hezekiah watched the shadow go counterclockwise on the sundial. The sun went in reverse 10 degrees. Hezekiah acknowledged Gods power and mercy and expressed his gratitude for his additional years.
God was saying if you have faith in me, if you believe, I can turn back time in your life. This shows just how moved God is by our faith. I believe God is saying I can restore the years that you have lost.
When we pray we should be bold. Being bold shows your faith in God. God notices this. We should not give up on our dreams, God will always give us another chance. He is a God of second chances. If we look there are second chances that have happened all around us. Many I believe have come because of our prayers and our faith. Happy Sunday Everyone!!J.Goodrich
As I was teaching little kids one day in church, I told them that God spanks me. One kid with eyes wide open asked, “God puts you over his knee and spanks you?!!” I chuckled and said no, but he allows things in my life as a reminder that I have done something wrong, so I can correct it.
Over the years I have tried to go back to as many people as possible that I have wronged, and asked for forgiveness. Those I am unable to get to because of loss of contact, I prayed that God would forgive me, as it is my heart to get it right.
The sad thing about Hezekiah's last "extra" years is he produced a son, Manasseh, who for most of his reign was of the line of Ahab. Near the end, he repented, but how many lives did he destroy in the meantime--including his own son who he sacrificed "in the fire" (2 Kings 21: 6) ?
If there’s any justice, Hillary will be arrested in the dark of night, leg shackled and frog marched out of her mansion in her underoos where alerted media with cams will be waiting.
Harsh⁉️It’s what THEY did to innocents.
Yes, I agree, seeing Hillary in her underoos would be a punishment upon the unsuspecting public - but it MUST be done.
My preference would be a grilling under oath in the House of Representatives following which she is led in cuffs by the capital police to detention with charges of treason! All recorded on public TV and viewed on countless social media sites.
Think French Revolution. If you don’t know history you can read the opening chapters of a Tale of Two Cities. The elites got it good and hard! It can happen if Trump is truly determined. I’m not (necessarily or literally) calling for chopping heads but….
That one made me LOL! And good idea about a new flag, although I’m sure we’d all just like to get rid of the many different flags that tend to divide us and just be united again around the America flag. 🇺🇸 But I digress.
The sperm cartoon inspired me! Why is it that highly educated medical professionals don’t understand that from the moment of conception to birth of a healthy newborn requires the absence of any medical intervention that increases the risk of malformation or death of the fetus. Also includes the absence of drugs and nutrient deficiencies that interfere with normal fetal growth. Abortion rates have grown dramatically since mRNA injections have become the norm for mothers to be. Couple that with poor prenatal care and negative lifestyle issues just creates a newborn that needs medical intervention and is the reason hospitals are expanding their children’s wings. The following announcement runs in defiance of the CDC changes under RFK Jr. leadership.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has announced a continued commitment to developing and releasing maternal immunization guidance, according to a press release.
In recognition of “the importance of unbiased, evidence-based guidance about maternal vaccination for respiratory conditions,” American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) will collaborate with the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy’s Vaccine Integrity Project for the guidance.
They list an additional 18 Medical groups that support their efforts.
A long road ahead for NIH to eliminate the root causes of the American bloated medical system. Q&A: What providers need to know about the new maternal vaccine recommendations
So true. Babies in the women really do "look like"
babied at extremely early ages. Fr. Frank Pavone at Priests for Life website features a real-time video of a baby at a very, very young stage, moving around, with clearly arms, fingers, legs, and toes, heart beating, and head and eyes that look very "normal." This is one of the few "real-time" videos of the baby at that age, that I think was an astounding 2 weeks of age.
Yes. The Sunday Funnies, a cup of coffee and my favorite chair. What could be better? One of my first jobs was working for a company that had a computer similar to the one in the meme here. It had its own glass enclosed climate controlled room. My desk was across the room from this amazing machine and I was fascinated watching the one engineer race back and forth loading index cards into it. The lights were rotating and blinking and the machine whirred noisily. Now I type this message on a handheld device that is many times more powerful than that early model business computer!
The meme today that held the most truth for me, however, was the four monkeys. And the fourth one holding that computer! Sad!! Thank you, Drs Malone, for the Sunday chuckles (and in some cases, tears)!
It blows my mind that people in the future are going to look at our culture and wonder how we could accept transitioning children to another sex. We, who are supposed to be the most advanced civilization where some encourage children to remove functioning body parts and replace them with surgically false ones. As if that is not bad enough, we find that organ harvesting is being performed on living people. God save us from these demented ghouls.
I’d like to say something clever about the hypocrisy of Mr Starmer defending free speech by incarcerating citizens who exercise it but I think President Trump cutting him off like the non-leader gaslighting creep that he is was pure gold. Sometimes Trump comes across like the father they all needed and didn’t get. And I love it. More genuine discipline less loosely goosey Islamic fundamentalism and western culture destruction.
Congratulations to Sydney Sweeney, who has singlehandedly revived the tadpoles' sense of purpose. For some time now, they've been seen disoriented, clustered around maps, and wondering if they should just call off the mission.
Unless my biology education was faulty, one is an multicellular vertebrates and the other is a sperm cell with exactly half the dna of a single cell. Looks can be deceiving. Good for a joke though. 🤣
Thank you Drs Malone for my Sunday morning humor hit. It’s a long haul from Monday to Friday and then to Sunday because once you feel the dopamine hit on Friday you’re in withdrawal till Sunday 😂
Barbara Lee, a while back I had a similar thing happen. When I misspell something, which I often do, I don’t mind being corrected. But questioning pronouns used, really. Everyone knows what you meant. I found myself going back and editing my post over it, and then thinking why am I doing this-over pronouns? Sorry pronouns trigger me. Maybe it’s the woke BS. I’m a carpenter/contractor so I ain’t always usin proper English, but your post was perfect, I knew exactly what you were saying. Sorry that’s why I wrote “pronouns”.
The lady on the left with the "short shorts" is how we young women in our late teens and early 20s really did dress in the 70s, with with backless halter tops, too. Seriously. I shudder to remember how I dressed (an admission on my part.) A popular TV commercial back then featured the backs of young women singing and chanting, "We wear short shorts." Does anyone remember that? Even many women hitchhiking, which was usually still considered pretty safe back then, dressed that way. The times, they sure have changed.
Na. It wasn't media for us, we didn't watch tv. It was practical and creative for us sewing skilled gals that weren't well endowed - which were most of us back then - I suppose cause we carried no extra weight, and didn't implant. Look at the old tv series shows vs now. Most gals could wear a halter top and not look promiscuous at all.
Media that told me the fashion were the teen magazines Teen, Tiger Beat and Seventeen, and the Young Miss department at Sears! How I wanted the money for those white short shorts for my trip with friends to Astroworld! I couldn't sew at that time.
Great funnies! 😂 It’s amazing just how much one comic can say!! And quite profoundly!! Thanks Dr. Malone, for the funnies, but also for a place where people can comment, educate, and just encourage one another! ❤️
The 4th monkey cartoon describes current state of Society to a tee...they're so interested in social media and texting and their cell phones that they often purposely 'See Nobody Hear Nobody'. People have become unfriendly and they seem to like it that way. I recently mentioned the fact that people in central PA are unfriendly, and this young medical resident at geisinger responded, "people don't know who to trust". Very telling!
I had signed up to be an organ donor, but after reading the article referenced in the post, I immediately went online and removed my name from the donor registry. Just another reason not to trust doctors.
Most of this wasn’t funny (except the tadpoles - huge laughs there!)
The issue of transgenders trying to destroy children is bad enough. The Human Trafficking that is being swept under the rug in America is possibly worse, because it is hidden. Jan Jekielek recently interviewed Jaco Booyens about this issue on American Thought Leaders. It’s an eye opener we can no longer ignore.

How Traffickers Prey on America’s Youth: Jaco Booyens (07/24/25, podcast 1 hr, 1 min; also available at Epoch TV, may require subscription, includes transcript)
“A quarter to a half of the exploitation that’s happening to our own nation’s youth ... it’s a caregiver doing it—it’s a familial figure,” Jaco Booyens says.
He is the founder of Jaco Booyens Ministries (JBM), an anti-human trafficking organization working to protect American children from predatory exploitation.
“We’re talking about a $52 billion industry of buying and selling predominantly women and children inside this country—American citizens. The discussion about an immigrant child or an immigrant in the country is a completely separate conversation,” he says.
Booyens says laws against human trafficking are not being sufficiently enforced. Why are cases continuing to increase, while prosecutions decrease? And how is pornography a “gateway drug” into the trafficking industry?\
I’m sure when any one of us look in the past there were times that we wish we could go back and fix some things. There are times we may have missed an opportunity. Maybe a relationship we wished we had put more effort into. Or a loved one who passed and we wish we had spoken more or handled something differently.

God is merciful and gracious indeed.

HAPPY SUNDAY!!!
Spot on. Excellent. Also, remember Jesus forgiving the past sins of the woman at the well.
Thanks Father Goodrich. . .
Be BOLD in your prayers. . . what I learned today.
A powerful and encouraging message James! Thank you and God bless! 💟✝️
Thank You Jennifer!!

Hey Bill Gates!
Instead of experimenting with multiple vaccines on the poor wretches in other countries (dark people) try cleaning up their water supply.
I got this idea from the sick fish tank. Thanks.
Use chlorine dioxide to clean up the water or maybe some silver…
Don't know about this, but it's good to check these suggestions. We can't trust our water supply.
If there’s any justice, Hillary will be arrested in the dark of night, leg shackled and frog marched out of her mansion in her underoos where alerted media with cams will be waiting.
Harsh⁉️It’s what THEY did to innocents.
Yes, I agree, seeing Hillary in her underoos would be a punishment upon the unsuspecting public - but it MUST be done.
My preference would be a grilling under oath in the House of Representatives following which she is led in cuffs by the capital police to detention with charges of treason! All recorded on public TV and viewed on countless social media sites.
Well, Can't we ask for both?!
Yes, put in the stocks so everyone can throw tomatoes. Long overdue.
So not nice. Anyway, dream on, because the elites never pay for their crimes.
Think French Revolution. If you don’t know history you can read the opening chapters of a Tale of Two Cities. The elites got it good and hard! It can happen if Trump is truly determined. I’m not (necessarily or literally) calling for chopping heads but….
Hi Joseph! Thanks for the reminder.
I won't be calling for another Reign of Terror and I won't supply knitting needles or yarn. Remember any wretch may be taken away and killed.
The Soviet Union and the Chinese "Cultural Revolution" got way out of hand, too.
Agree wholeheartedly!
💯‼️💯‼️ but 😱🫣😳🥴🤮‼️
First, the tadpoles 😂🤣😂🤣.
Second, I need to come up with a white/hetero/Christian flag
That one made me LOL! And good idea about a new flag, although I’m sure we’d all just like to get rid of the many different flags that tend to divide us and just be united again around the America flag. 🇺🇸 But I digress.
Isn't that THE idea? Our American flag stands for ALL.
I agree..I was just being facetious 🙂
And I didn’t realize you were being facetious! I’m usually good at recognizing it. 🤭 But I’m sure someone would want one though. lol
Haha, honestly, if there was one, I'd buy it!
Opps, sorry! I was being too literal.
Oh, don't be sorry! I totally agree with you about the American flag!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

PS: It has been fact checked. Really?
And 16 states are fighting fed restrictions on gender mutilation of kids
So want is wrong with these 16 states? Under the thumb of the deranged?
Democrats...same thing
Plus state DemoCommines.
So true. Babies in the women really do "look like"

Just a reminder,
that "Nothing" happens without the birthing waters of sustained Amniotic Fluid.
Water truly is the Miracle of Humanity on this Blue Orb.
We all had those north bound Olympic Champion swimmers early on!
I swim in summer regularly in their honor. Hahaha
Yes. The Sunday Funnies, a cup of coffee and my favorite chair. What could be better? One of my first jobs was working for a company that had a computer similar to the one in the meme here.

We went to the moon with not much more (?) than your handheld
Also, re: those 4 monkeys - referring back to the original sequence, the 4th monkey would be labeled: "Speak no evil." Seems appropriate these days...
It blows my mind that people in the future are going to look at our culture and wonder how we could accept transitioning children to another sex. We, who are supposed to be the most advanced civilization where some encourage children to remove functioning body parts and replace them with surgically false ones.

Thanks for the Sunday Strip, Malones.

Truth!
Congratulations to Sydney Sweeney, who has singlehandedly revived the tadpoles' sense of purpose. For some time now, they've been seen disoriented, clustered around maps, and wondering if they should just call off the mission.
Their mission? A tadpoles mission is to live long enough to become a frog … isn’t it?
But the kinds of tadpoles that become frogs do not concern themselves with being the "first one to reach the egg."
Unless my biology education was faulty, one is an multicellular vertebrates and the other is a sperm cell with exactly half the dna of a single cell. Looks can be deceiving. Good for a joke though. 🤣
There's only one kind of tadpole.
I’m dead. Hilarious comment. 😂😂😂
Someday you'll be able to hold one of these in the palm of your hand...
That machine bears a striking resemblance to Rockwell Automation's famous Retro Encabulator.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w
I'm dying; what a great spoof!
Thank you so much! Half way in I started laughing, not really understanding yet, but my suspicions were confirmed as I read through the comments.
A wonderful, wonderful laugh today. Thanks again.
Thank you Drs Malone for my Sunday morning humor hit. It’s a long haul from Monday to Friday and then to Sunday because once you feel the dopamine hit on Friday you’re in withdrawal till Sunday 😂
It's a long dirt road that leads to a Gold Mine!
Or so I've been warned.
It's on the divorce decree........Haha
Barbara, I'm thinking that you must have meant that You/yourself, not Drs. Malone, feel the dopamine/withdrawal - right?
Yes of course.
Oh I see my mistake. I should have written once I feel the dopamine…. Will do better next time.
Pronouns
Tricky
Barbara Lee, a while back I had a similar thing happen. When I misspell something, which I often do, I don’t mind being corrected. But questioning pronouns used, really.

“Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts!”
Nair for short shorts….
I remember Nair. It stunk but worked.
I never used it. Nor did my mother or two older brothers.
Sewed my clothes then, 1/2 yard of material made a halter top, or a skirt!
LOL. Yep. Can you believe we got away with dressing like that? I blame the media!
Na. It wasn't media for us, we didn't watch tv. It was practical and creative for us sewing skilled gals that weren't well endowed - which were most of us back then - I suppose cause we carried no extra weight, and didn't implant. Look at the old tv series shows vs now. Most gals could wear a halter top and not look promiscuous at all.
Remember Chrissy Snow in Three's Company? Even Janet and Jack wore very high shorts. LOL.
Media that told me the fashion were the teen magazines Teen, Tiger Beat and Seventeen, and the Young Miss department at Sears! How I wanted the money for those white short shorts for my trip with friends to Astroworld! I couldn't sew at that time.
