When she moved into an apartment inside a newly converted old school, most of the building was still empty.

Late one night, she spotted a little boy standing at the far end of the hallway. He turned the corner before she could reach him.

When she followed, no one was there. It happened again weeks later, but with more tenants moving in, she found plenty of ways to explain it away.

Eventually, she stopped thinking about the boy altogether.

Then, years later, a neighbor casually mentioned something she had seen in...

 It’s Friday and you have made it through another week! Question: When was the last time you did something simply because it brought you joy? Psalm 118:24 reminds us that every day God gives us is an opportunity not merely to manage life, but to enjoy it. Today’s prayer encourages us to make room for laughter, rest, music, celebration, and the simple pleasures we too often postpone. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect before we give ourselves permission to be happy. You’re not just managing life — you’re living it! So go...

What does it mean to advocate for someone you love during a healthcare journey? In this episode of Lighting the Path, Robin Shapiro defines patient advocacy and explores how caregivers can speak up, ask questions, and support the person in their care.

Robin and Jerry discuss how healthcare has changed over the years—and why advocacy matters more than ever. She offers practical tips for caregivers, describes signs that it may be time to bring in a professional advocate, and explains why an independent advocate is worth considering.

For caregiver checklists, Robin recommends The Care Pa...

What feels like an interruption to you may be the moment somebody else desperately needs you to stop.

Amanda and I were across the street from the restaurant where we planned to grab dinner when we saw a 79-year-old man get hit by a car in a crosswalk.

What was supposed to be a quick dinner run turned into about an hour of helping, giving statements, and waiting with first responders.

The man was conscious and stable, but in severe pain. One of the things that stayed with me most was that he initially tried to refuse treatment because he was worried about the cost.

That changed the way I looked at the whole night.

We were seconds away from dinner. He was seconds into a completely different kind of night.

What felt like a delay to us was an emergency to him.

It made me think about the Good Samaritan in Luke 10.

The Samaritan was going somewhere too.

He had plans.

A schedule.

A destination.

But when he saw someone hurting, he stopped.

That’s the question this episode asks:

When someone’s need interrupts my plan, do I see an inconvenience... or an assignment?

Amanda and I didn’t do anything heroic.

We just stopped.

We stayed.

We gave our information.

We helped with the piece that was ours.

Sometimes that’s enough.

Sometimes the interruption is a phone call.

A child who needs to talk.

A coworker having a hard day.

A stranger who needs help.

Someone who simply needs you to notice them.

Sometimes the interruption is the assignment.

And as we close out the week, I hope you enjoy your weekend and leave a little room for the people and moments you didn’t plan.

Next week, we close out Season 5 with Episodes 196 through 200.

Rhasidat Adeleke capped her season with a gutsy fourth-place finish in the 200m at London’s high-stakes Athlos meet, clocking 22.64 seconds and earning $15K—behind Olympic champ Gabby Thomas ($65K). Facing elite competition including three Americans in a six-woman field, Adeleke surged into third on the final bend. The event, part of Alexis Ohanian’s global push for women-only elite racing, paid big: Sophie O’Sullivan took $10K in fifth place in the 800m, while stars like Marileidy Paulino and Alaysha Johnson also cashed in. Adeleke, chasing her 200m form after a European silver and Irish record, now turns her focu...

A violinist who stopped the internet. A poem that turned her story into music.

In February, Rose Crelli performed alongside Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl halftime show — then posted a few quiet words online. More than 147,000 people responded with tears and recognition.

Rose was born in China and adopted into a family in rural Alaska, in a home without running water, electricity, or internet. From those log cabins beneath the northern sky, she found her way to conservatory training, to stages shared with the NFL, the NBA, the ML...
