She Chose My Friend Over Me… Was It Because of Looks? (Part 1)

from Microwave Silence · host Katie Chen

This is the first part of something that made me feel… a little embarrassed.I was with one of my friends — she’s really good-looking — and we met someone new together.At first, everything felt normal. But slowly, I started to notice something.That person talked more to her. Laughed more with her. And naturally… they just seemed to get closer.And I was there too. But somehow, I felt left out.I didn’t know if I was overthinking it. But I couldn’t stop wondering — was it just about personality… or did looks play a role in who she chose to connect with?I’m still not sure. But this is where that question started.

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.

SIDDHARTHA BTC Its-all-here He did not come with crown or name. No army marched. No temple built. He simply… disappeared. And left behind the truth.The Genesis block… is not a block. It is a silence... that speaks. Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
