| | LAY DOWN YOUR RELIGION AND PICK UP YOUR BIBLE: OUR RELIGIONS TEACH THE SANTA CLAUS DOCTRINE BEING GOOD ENOUGH WILL NEVER GET YOU TO HEAVEN | By: DANIEL AARON MONROW | If you are like me, you were taught the Santa Claus doctrine, where the good people go to heaven, and the bad people go to hell. But when you actually open the Catholic Bible or the Protestant Bible, a problem with this approach comes to light. None of the great patriarchs or heroes in the Bible were especially “good” people. Join me as I show you from your own Catholic or Protestant Bible that Heaven is not a reward for the morally well behaved, or for those with good character. There is no being good enough. There are no magic requirements to fulfill. There is no religious membership that will get you there. Eternity with God is a gift from God for those who put their faith and trust in Him and for those whose hearts are transformed by that faith. Rules and religious systems can never produce that change. Only grace, received by faith, can get us there. Salvation is a work of God that is 100% HIM, and zero % us. | $0.99 — Get it for FREE today! |

| Preserving and Canning: Keeping Traditions Alive | There’s something deeply comforting—and even empowering—about lining your pantry shelves with jars of homemade preserves, pickles, and jams. For generations, home canning has been a symbol of self-sufficiency, care, and tradition. Today, this timeless practice is enjoying a modern revival, appealing to folks of all ages who appreciate the value of homegrown and homemade. | At its core, preserving and canning is about capturing the flavors of the season to enjoy all year round. Whether it’s tart blackberry jam from summer’s bounty, spicy dilly beans from the garden, or hearty tomato sauce simmered to perfection, each jar is a memory sealed with love. For seniors in particular, canning can be a joyful way to reconnect with past traditions—or to teach younger generations a valuable (and delicious) life skill. | The health and economic benefits are also noteworthy. When you can at home, you control the ingredients—no hidden preservatives or excess sugar. You can stretch your grocery budget by buying produce in-season and in bulk, or even better, using what you grow yourself. And it’s not just about food storage—it’s about slowing down, savoring the process, and celebrating the rhythm of nature. | If you're just getting started, there’s no need to be intimidated. There are two basic methods: water bath canning (great for high-acid foods like jams and pickles) and pressure canning (used for low-acid foods like vegetables and meats). A few essential tools—a canner, jars, lids, and a bit of patience—are all it takes. Many local libraries and senior centers even offer canning workshops or lend out equipment. | Best of all, preserving food is a beautiful way to share with neighbors, give heartfelt gifts, and ensure that the goodness of summer can brighten even the darkest winter day. It’s not just about what’s in the jar—it’s about the story behind it. | Do you can or preserve foods at home? | |

| From the RetireHub Archives: What’s your favorite natural way to support your health? |
|
| | Looks like healthy habits are top of mind for our readers! The most popular natural approach? Eating an anti-inflammatory diet—25% of you are reaching for colorful veggies, whole grains, and healing spices. But good sleep isn't far behind, with 23% focusing on restful nights to support overall well-being. | Stretching, yoga, and tai chi also made a strong showing, as did herbal remedies and personalized "other" methods. And while only a few of you turn to breathing exercises, we see you exhaling stress one breath at a time. | It’s inspiring to see how many ways our community is caring for their health with intention and curiosity. Thanks for sharing your go-to wellness habits! | OUR FAVORITE COMMENTS | “I have gout (hands and feet). Besides the medicine I take (religiously because a gout flare is incredibly painful and you just have to suffer through days of pain), my rheumatologist sent me for physical therapy. Besides the daily stretching, walking and band work, the physical therapist recommended weight lifting. Game changer. I have lost weight, gained muscle and strength.” “I do all of the above but also use a Tens Unit. I feel that it helps more than all the above.” “Walking and moving is my preferred method. Getting the blood moving really helps with stiffness and pain.”
| | When Love Changes: Understanding Divorce in Later Life | Divorce after 60—often called “gray divorce”—has its own unique challenges and emotional layers. For couples who have built lives together for decades, ending a marriage later in life is rarely just about new disagreements or unmet needs; it's often rooted in deeper shifts: the empty nest, evolving roles, retirement routines, or gradual emotional drifting over years. | One thorny issue is dividing shared assets—especially if the couple owns a business together. Questions about what’s “marital” vs. “separate” property, valuation of long‑standing enterprises, and transition of roles all add complexity. The process often requires careful negotiation, expert guidance, and a willingness to find creative compromises. | Beyond the legal and financial logistics, late-life divorce brings profound emotional work. Many face grief over the loss of identity, fear of solitude, and the daunting task of redefining one’s life after years of partnership. But it can also become a time of reinvention: exploring long-postponed dreams, forming new friendships, and discovering personal strengths you may never have known. | If you or someone you know is navigating this path, know that you’re not alone. With the right support—legal, financial, emotional—this chapter can lead to unexpected clarity, freedom, and renewed purpose. | READ MORE | |

| Slang Phrase of the Day | Phrase: Beige flag | Meaning: A beige flag is a relatively new term from internet slang that refers to a personality trait or habit in someone that’s not quite a red flag (a warning sign) or a green flag (a good sign)—but instead something that’s mildly odd, quirky, or boring. It’s the kind of thing that might make you pause and think, “Hmm, interesting,” but not necessarily in a bad way. | In a sentence: "At our senior socials, Martha says her new gentleman friend’s beige flag is that he narrates everything he does out loud—but honestly, she finds it kind of endearing!" | |

| Good News of the Day | Underwater Umbrellas Could Protect Coral Reefs From Heat Damage | Underwater umbrellas could protect coral reefs from heat—and even partly reverse the bleaching, according to a new study by Florida scientists. Temporary shades placed over particularly vulnerable Caribbean corals can mitigate damage from high sea temperatures driven by global warming, which turns them ghostly white—and eventually kills them. Restoring dead reefs is possible, but the […] | READ MORE | |
