4 years in a row<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

PHOENIX \u2013 A text message sent to the wrong number brought an Arizona grandmother and a 17-year-old high school senior together on Thanksgiving in 2016 \u2013 now, they are getting ready to celebrate again, for the fourth year in a row.<\/p>\n

Wanda Dench thought she had messaged her grandson to tell him what time the Turkey Day festivities would begin, adding, \u201cHope to see you all. Of course that includes Amanda & Justin.\u201d Little did she know, her grandson had changed his number without telling her.<\/p>\n

Seeing the strange numbers in the group text, Jamal Hinton asked who was texting him, to which she replied, \u201cYou grandma.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two exchanged selfies for confirmation, and Hinton texted: \u201cYou not my grandma. Can I still get a plate tho?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course you can,\u201d Denton texted back. \u201cThat\u2019s what grandma\u2019s do \u2026 feed every one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only did Hinton show up for Thanksgiving that year, but every year after that.\u00a0ABC News<\/a>\u00a0reports that this year Hinton and Dench will be celebrating together again, this time at the house of Hinton\u2019s girlfriend\u2019s aunt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Words from terminally-ill children<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Dr. Alastair McAlpine spends every day caring for children with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses, working for the non-profit organization PaedsPal.<\/p>\n

McAlpine recently decided to ask his terminally-ill patients what they enjoyed most in life and then shared their answers on Twitter.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0tweet<\/a>, he explained: \u201cFor an assignment, I asked some of my terminal pediatric palliative care patients what they had enjoyed in life, and what gave it meaning. Kids can be so wise, y\u2019know.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of these children are between the ages of four and nine years old. Even though they are young, they still managed to hit the nail on the head when it comes to what makes life worth living.<\/p>\n

1.Nobody wishes they\u2019d spent more time watching TV and being online<\/h3>\n

2. Animals make life better<\/h3>\n

3. They love their parents<\/h3>\n

4. They love ice cream<\/h3>\n

5. They love books and stories<\/h3>\n

6. Worrying is a waste of time.<\/h3>\n

7. Everyone loves the beach<\/h3>\n

8. Kindness matters<\/h3>\n

9. Laughter is the best medicine<\/h3>\n

10. Kids love their toys<\/h3>\n

11. Family time is the best time<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CHICAGO \u2014 For nearly 20 years Pastor Charles Jenkins lead his South Side congregation in sermons and in life.\u00a0\u00a0As he prepares for a new chapter, he leaves behind a legacy of service and giving.<\/p>\n

Every week, Jenkins can be found preaching the Sunday Service at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church.<\/p>\n

\u201c I always wanted to help people to serve people and get good things done and move the needle a little,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jenkins\u2019s personality and leadership style has steadily increased church membership.<\/p>\n

But outside the church walls may be where Jenkins has made his greatest impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can preach to you to your heart and your mind but after that, if you can\u2019t get your medicine, if you can\u2019t afford to pay your bills, it\u2019s faith without words,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

From helping senior citizens get affordable prescriptions to assisting with bringing Uber rideshare to the city, Jenkins regularly finds himself working alongside politicians.<\/p>\n

Jenkins has also used the pulpit to raise awareness for the need of organ donations.<\/p>\n

He is also an award-winning gospel musician and he often features his music at Sunday Service.<\/p>\n

Next month Jenkins will be retiring from his position with the church but he says his work is not done.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be a part of Chicago\u2019s continued commitment to building people community and changing lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t said what\u2019s next for him but he is looking forward to spending more time with his wife and three children.<\/p>\n

Pastor Charles Jenkins, he is one of Chicago\u2019s Very Own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark Johnson on Plain People doctor<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

It is 5 degrees below zero\u00a0and a light powdering of\u00a0snow swirls across the roads of Vernon County.\u00a0A\u00a0few horses and buggies clop through the chill\u00a0morning\u00a0air, but Perry Hochstetler leaves his buggy at the family farm\u00a0and has a driver take him to his doctor\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Hochstetlers\u00a0are Amish. With no health insurance\u00a0and\u00a0a modest income, they cannot afford most doctors.<\/p>\n

They can afford James DeLine, once the lone doctor in the western Wisconsin village of La\u00a0Farge. Population 750.<\/p>\n

When he became the village doctor in 1983, DeLine had no experience treating the Amish and no idea the crucial role they would play in his work. Today, about 20% of the doctor\u2019s patients are Amish or Old Order Mennonite, part of a Christian population called Plain People. They are known for their separation from the modern world and adherence to a simple lifestyle and unadorned dress.<\/p>\n

Something of a throwback himself,\u00a0DeLine, 65, is a short,\u00a0bespectacled\u00a0man with a walrus mustache, a doctor who carries a brown medical bag to house calls. For years, he carried his equipment in a fishing tackle box.<\/p>\n

He knows the families on every local farm and their medical histories. He knows who\u2019s been\u00a0born,\u00a0and\u00a0calls on the mothers and infants to make sure they are healthy. He knows who\u2019s dying, and looks in on them in their final days, sitting by their bedside, talking in a gentle voice, making sure they have what they need for pain.<\/p>\n

Before he goes on vacation, DeLine\u00a0takes out ads in the weekly newspaper so that his patients will\u00a0know.<\/p>\n

As a young doctor,\u00a0DeLine never imagined he would find himself\u00a0someday\u00a0with one foot planted solidly in medicine\u2019s past, the other in its future.<\/p>\n

The doctor who makes house\u00a0calls\u00a0also collaborates with English and American geneticists studying some of the rarest diseases on Earth. Some occur at much higher levels among the Amish, Mennonites and other closed communities that don\u2019t allow marriage to outsiders. This prohibition increases the likelihood that when a rare, disease-causing mutation appears in the community, it will take root and pass from generation to generation.<\/p>\n

Scientists use a special term, \u201cthe founder effect,\u201d to explain how some variations in the human genetic sequence appear more often in groups that are geographically or culturally isolated.<\/p>\n

It has taken DeLine and his staff years to gain the trust of Plain People, some of whom are wary of medicine and technology.\u00a0Often,\u00a0they\u00a0fear that going to a hospital or clinic will mean surrendering the decision-making to doctors who neither respect their beliefs\u00a0nor understand their financial limitations.<\/p>\n

DeLine, not a religious man himself, accommodates the beliefs of patients and parents; he has always viewed them as the ultimate decision-makers. As a result, the clinic has become a magnet for Plain People. Some travel eight hours from Missouri or Iowa just to see him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Memorizing helps the brain with aging (not so fast):<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Do you remember the last time you memorized something \u2014 even a phone number? With technology ever at our fingertips, we don\u2019t need to commit much of anything to memory now.<\/p>\n

Yet, rote memory \u2014 the process of repeating information until it is lodged firmly in the brain \u2014 fell out of favor well before laptops, tablets and smartphones became part of our everyday lives. While earlier generations of students were routinely required to memorize poetry, great speeches, even the multiplication tables, educators had abandoned the practice as unproductive by the time most baby boomers were starting school.<\/p>\n

A workout for your brain<\/h3>\n

But not everyone believes memorization is a waste of time and effort. Small children reciting nursery rhymes are honing their developing memories and gaining an introduction to language patterns.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the age spectrum, \u201cOlder adults who work their brains through memorization are stimulating neural plasticity, which alters the brain\u2019s neural pathways in response to new experiences,\u201d says\u00a0Marwan Sabbagh, MD<\/a>, Director of Cleveland Clinic\u00a0Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health<\/a>. \u201cThese functional brain changes occur whenever we acquire new knowledge or learn a new skill, and they appear to be important in warding off\u00a0cognitive decline<\/a>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anxiety confessed and embraced:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n
By\u00a0Scott Stump<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n

A Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman says he is \u201cnot ashamed or embarrassed\u201d about the anxiety-related illness that caused him to leave Sunday\u2019s loss to the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n

Star right guard Brandon Brooks, 30, left the game in the first quarter and did not return due to vomiting and nausea caused by an anxiety-related issue that he has been open about in the past.<\/p>\n

Brooks expanded upon his absence from the game in a tweet on Monday morning, writing that he deals with anxiety-related issues daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to address what happened yesterday,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI woke up, and did my typical routine of morning vomiting. It didn\u2019t go away like it normally does, but I figured it would calm down once I got to the stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt did, but I felt exhausted. The nausea came back, and I tried to battle through it and went out for the first drive. The nausea and vomiting came back until I left the field, and tried everything I could to get back for my teammates but just wasn\u2019t able to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks, who was drafted by the Houston Texans in 2012, has missed five games over his seven-year career due to anxiety-related illness, most recently in 2016, when he missed a pair of games, according to\u00a0ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He has persevered through his illness to become a two-time Pro Bowl selection as well as the highest-paid guard in the NFL after signing a four-year extension worth $56.5 million on Nov. 11.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake, I\u2019m NOT ashamed or embarrassed by this nor what I go through daily,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI\u2019ve had this under control for a couple of years, and had a set back yesterday. The only thing I\u2019m upset about is that when my team needed me, I wasn\u2019t able to be out there with and for them. Lastly, I appreciate the support of my coaches, teammates and fans. It doesn\u2019t go unnoticed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks has previously spoken about the support from teammate Lane Johnson, a fellow offensive lineman who missed Sunday\u2019s game with a concussion. Johnson also has dealt with anxiety and vomiting before games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s a lot of talk about Mister Rogers these days. The release of the new feature film with Tom Hanks has prompted renewed discussion about Rogers\u2019s kindness, his groundbreaking approach to children\u2019s programming, about how all of us of a certain age associate him with a gentler, simpler time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But intertwined with all of the current chatter is the implied message that the original \u201cMister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood\u201d series, while loved and appreciated by adults, is part of a bygone era and would never (ever!) fly with today\u2019s iPad-loving, Fortnite-obsessed youth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n
\n

I discovered just how wrong that assumption is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I\u2019m the parent of four young children, and I was stunned to learn Mister Rogers\u2019s style and message is (shockingly) appreciated by the children of today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I made the discovery 18 months ago, when I was assigned to produce a national television segment on Mister Rogers, in connection with the release of the then-new documentary,\u00a0\u201cWon\u2019t You Be My Neighbor?\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2026 So into my bedroom I retreated to watch Mister Rogers alone. And that\u2019s when something magical happened.<\/div>\n
\n

Within a half-hour of my bingefest, our youngest two children, then ages 5 and 7, came to ask me to help them with some homework. They sat down on the bed beside me and peered at the television as I looked over their worksheets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the episode I was watching, Mister Rogers had gone to a restaurant in Pittsburgh to show his young viewers how restaurants work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMommy,\u201d asked my young daughter. \u201cWho is that nice man?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Mommy\u2019s friend, Fred,\u201d I explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI like his voice,\u201d said my 7-year-old son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI like his clothes,\u201d said my daughter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cCan we watch with you?\u201dmy son asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I was skeptical, but nodded. And so it began.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I held my breath, waiting for them to tell me that the episode was too slow, to implore me to fast-forward to a moment when something more interesting happens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I waited for them to abandon ship and seek out an iPad or a snack in the other room, to seize control of the remote and turn the television to the Cartoon Network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But they didn\u2019t do any of those things. And when that episode was over, they asked for another. And then, shockingly, another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The DNA of an exquisitely preserved puppy found in Siberia doesn\u2019t appear to fit the profile of a dog or a wolf, which means the specimen might be something in between.<\/p>\n

The frozen puppy, found near Yakutsk in eastern Siberia, was just two months old when it died,\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0CNN. Scientists from the Centre for Palaeogenetics\u2014a joint project between Stockholm University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History\u2014used radiocarbon dating on its rib bone to place its brief time on Earth to 18,000 years ago, during the tail end of the last Ice Age.<\/p>\n

The level of preservation is unreal, with the puppy still exhibiting intact teeth, nose, and fur. Scientists were able to extract DNA from the specimen, allowing them to confirm the pup\u2019s sex as male. It has since been named \u201cDogor,\u201d which means \u201cfriend\u201d in Yakutian.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
