Hey, guys.
Well, I'm here with my favorite doctor, Dr. Mark Sherwood, here today.
And guess what I just got?
It is a giant box of a Kingdom Crunch cereal.
His new line of cereal called Kingdom Crunch, and this particular flavor is acai bowl.
And let me tell you, it is so, so, so, so, so tasty and delicious.
But besides from it being so tasty, I have Dr. Sherwood here to tell us why it's so good for you, too, and why it's so amazing and should be in everyone's cupboard.
So what's up with this incredible cereal that you sent me that I can't stop eating, Dr. Sherwood?
Well, many times when we hear the word cereal, we think unhealthy, poisonous chemical, carcinogenic.
Shouldn't be eating it.
That is quite the opposite.
High protein, zero added sugars, organic ingredients, and healthy fats such as medium-trained triglycerides.
Deanna, that should be in everyone's cupboard, in every child's mouth, every day.
That is truly healthy and life-giving for kids.
I recommend it all the way.
Not because I made it, but because it solves a real problem in today's world.
Excuse me, I can't stop eating it, but I gave it to my son, Maverick, who also loves cereal, but I don't want him to eat cereal except for this.
This is really, really good.
It's really tasty.
It actually tastes like real acai in your mouth.
And it's packed full of all these nutrients and no sugar, right?
No added sugar?
That's insane.
How is it so sweet then?
Yeah, we use stevia, monk fruit, and some allulose there, all of which, get this, are diabetic friendly.
They won't raise blood sugar, which is another benefit.
I've had people ask me, can I eat that if I'm diabetic?
Yes, you can, and you can fix your diabetes.
Yay!
Awesome.
Well, this is so good.
Where can everybody find this Kingdom Crunch cereal?
They can find it at sherwood.tv forward slash shots and use your discount code to save.
Promo code SHOTS. Promo code SHOTS and they can save some money out there and support your program.
Absolutely.
Alright, go to sherwood.tv promo code SHOTS and pick up this delicious Kingdom Crunch cereal today.
And without further ado, let's get into the top news of the day.
All right.
Well, obviously, what has been talked about the most this week and all over the past weekend is, of course, these drones that are flying all over Australia.
And especially in seven different states.
They've been spotted in New York, in Virginia, most particularly New Jersey, but even also in Arizona and some other states.
So everybody has been spotting these hundreds of drones or so-called drones in the sky circling very suspiciously Their lights are very suspicious.
And it's really having everybody up in arms.
And I understand why.
Because it would be a little alarming to be outside of your home or inside of it or hanging out, you know, for a barbecue.
And then all of a sudden you're seeing these very strange, unidentified objects that do not look like planes.
They don't look like helicopters.
They kind of look like UFOs.
And they're making very weird movements and with emitting weird lights that are unexplained.
And nobody is really talking about it.
Nobody's really giving a logical explanation for these flying objects.
The government, of course, and the media is saying they're just drones.
They're harmless and they're completely legal and they're authorized and there's nothing wrong with them.
So, you know, but obviously we know that there's something going on because these drones have been spotted now for weeks and people are getting concerned and alarmed.
Even the local mayors of these cities where there's prominent spotage of these drones are also raising their voices and saying, look, what is going on?
We demand...
An explanation.
The public needs a reasonable explanation for this that isn't just some spin-doctored story.
So here's what, you know, just some of the coverage of what the mainstream media talking heads and, of course, their government shills and CIA plants have been saying is the reason for these drones or what exactly they are.
Check out some of these videos.
Our assessment is that this is lawful, legal, commercial, hobbyist, and even law enforcement aircraft activity.
Some of it's manned, some of it's unmanned.
We absolutely acknowledge that a lot of these are probably drones, but they're flying legally.
And it is legal to fly drones in non-restricted airspace as long as you're registered with the FAA. And there's thousands and thousands of these kinds of flights.
Every single day.
I think there's more than a million drones that are registered with the FAA just in the United States alone.
And just take a look.
I'm sure that you've seen a lot of this video footage because they've been everywhere.
But take a look to see some of what observers are seeing in the air of these drones.
Check out some of these drones footage The No, no, it's just like this.
It's just a little bit.
I'm going to get to the table, and now we're going to go.
I'm going to get to the table, and now we're going to get to the table.
I'm going to get to the table.
Okay, so they're obviously saying that this is totally legal, normal activity, normal drones activity.
They're even potentially hobbyist drones.
Partially, you know, it's a combination of hobby drones and some other government drones.
Well, that doesn't really make any sense because why would it be all of a sudden...
And why don't they know?
I mean, this is an abundance of drones flying around and strange objects, and they don't have a grasp on it, or they're pretending to not have a grasp on the reason why they're not able to track these drones.
Bullshit, obviously.
We know this is bullshit.
Their official story always is.
It's the Hegelian dialectic.
And it's even more concerning that not only are these drones or so-called drones being spotted everywhere, but also these what look like flying orbs.
They look very strange.
They're not planets.
They're not stars.
And again, they're not planes.
But these really do look like UFOs.
They look like very strange, unidentified flying objects and zooming through the sky with weird patterns.
And this...
Is even more frightening.
And why, again, it seems like they're connected with the drones.
They're all the same.
We don't have any really explanation for it, but check out some of this crazy footage of the orbs flying through the sky.
We don't have any really explanation for it.
We don't have any idea.
We don't have any idea.
We don't have any idea.
We don't have any idea.
Things like this are happening.
It seems everyone starts to look up like my crew and I have been here in Mendham recording this video that you're looking at right now.
We have no idea what it is, if it's a natural phenomenon, because it could be, but this is why so many municipalities are now asking people to reach out and send their videos To them or to experts who might be able to sort out what they're seeing in the skies, but I guarantee there are so many people looking up and making those recordings because this mystery is one that needs to be solved.
For now, we're live here in Mendonboro.
Tony Yates, Channel 7 Eyewitness News.
Lee's saying he's wondering whether or not that might be the moon, Tony, but you pointed out it's exactly the question people are asking.
What is it?
No.
Yeah.
We're looking at the moon right now and that's nowhere near the moon.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
So obviously nobody is buying this story.
No one's buying the cover story.
I mean, even Bethany Frankel from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, she poked her head out of the saloon and posted some videos about this is all really suspicious.
And she said that she has a friend that works for the Pentagon and said that there's something really weird and probably bad looming here that the public needs to know about and that everybody is hiding.
Check out this video that went viral.
You're gonna think I'm nuts, but why should today be any different than any other day?
I know this guy whose father worked with the Pentagon and NASA and, like, secret projects, and he has been messaging me That he will never forgive himself if he doesn't tell the people that he knows that for a month he's been watching this situation and now,
several days ago before it became a discussion in the mainstream media, that these drones are ours and that they could very possibly be sniffing out something very dangerous, some missing Dangerous W from the war and that areas that coincide with where the drones have been seen have spiked in radiation.
So he said it's time to think about where I am and that I might want to Go somewhere with my daughter.
So, like, for me, you know, we blow things off and we think nothing's going to happen, but things do happen.
I remember sitting in my car with my driver who said to me months before I even knew what the words global pandemic meant, I think there's going to be a global pandemic.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
I mean, if he had bet the markets, he would have been a billionaire.
So I'm just listening to this guy and watching.
And now Trump, who's hanging out with a lot of billionaires who have a lot of money for research, is also finding out that these are ours.
And what were the government's choices?
A, tell us that that's what they're doing and widespread panic and pandemonium.
Or B, do what they're doing.
But something is wrong because otherwise they would eliminate them.
And everyone's being very cagey.
What do you think?
This guy has also been talking to different people in government positions who agree and are watching now.
And now this just in as of last night.
Federal officials are now deploying drone detection technology to New York to investigate these drones.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, they want to ensure the drones alleged to be flying over the region aren't harmful, says a source.
This is kind of bizarre because if they're already telling us that it's not harmful and that they're totally lawful and legal and there's nothing nefarious about it, then why are they just now deploying additional drone detection technology to go and investigate these drones now?
So obviously their stories are all over the place and mixed up.
Check out this clip talking about it.
Turn now to new reporting on these mysterious drone sightings.
Seven states now across the Northeast, and now drones reported near an airbase in Ohio, an airport outside New York City, and the arrests involving a drone near Boston's Logan Airport.
Tonight, the FBI and Homeland Security deploying state-of-the-art drone detection technology and infrared cameras to catch the drones.
And tonight, President-elect Donald Trump saying something strange is going on here and what he suggested today about the drones.
Here's Whit Johnson.
After weeks of reported drone sightings triggering confusion and anger throughout the Northeast.
This one's gonna fly over us right now.
Tonight, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security deploying state-of-the-art drone detection technology and infrared cameras to New York and New Jersey.
The spike in unexplained drone sightings seen in at least seven states from Virginia to New England.
In Ohio over the weekend, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base outside Dayton temporarily closing its airspace Friday night because of drone incursions.
Just outside New York City, reported drones forcing officials at Stewart International Airport to shut down their runway for more than an hour.
There's multiple drones all over this airport tonight, man.
And in Boston, two men arrested and facing charges for flying a drone dangerously close to Logan Airport.
The rash of recent sightings fueling bipartisan criticism of the government's response.
President-elect Trump saying something strange is going on.
They know where it came from and where it went.
And for some reason they don't want to comment.
Something strange is going on.
They happen to be over Bedminster.
They're very close to Bedminster.
I think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster.
I've decided to cancel my trip.
There are nearly 800,000 registered drones in the U.S., and it's not illegal to fly them during the day or night.
The Biden administration insisting there's no evidence of a national security threat or foreign involvement, saying some reports can be explained as civilian aircraft.
Some of those drone sightings are in fact drones.
Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones.
Authorities say you can usually verify it in seconds using the Flightradar24 app.
You can see where most planes are in real time.
It's not just one drone.
When there's one, there's many.
That's exactly what we did when we went on patrol with Officer Francesca Escudero of the Clinton Township Police Department in New Jersey.
When the sun goes down, the drones come out.
And it didn't take long before we spotted those hovering lights over a reservoir.
In the dark with cloudy skies, we couldn't positively identify exactly what the objects were, but their inconsistent movements did not resemble nearby planes.
When I've been talking to people, they're frustrated.
They just want answers.
And David, the White House is pushing back against those claims by President-elect Trump, an administration spokesperson saying they're not trying to obscure any intel here, insisting that most of the sightings are some combination of hobbyist drones, law enforcement, commercial, as well as civilian aircraft, all operating legally, but they promise to continue pursuing all leads.
David?
All right, Whit Johnson tonight with us.
Whit, thank you.
They can't even get their stories straight, obviously.
And why just now are they just going to investigate it, by the way?
Another lie.
One military drone expert has weighed in, and he says that we're seeing two types of drones all over the skies right now.
Check out what he's got to say about this.
I'm making this video because I have figured out what the drone situation is.
I was in the Army, active duty.
I worked on drones.
I was a maintenance NCO for some surveillance drones.
And before that, I worked on the Apache, the Kiowa.
I know aviation.
So what people are not noticing is that you have two separate types of drones and two separate types of things in the air right now.
First off, the drones that you see with flight lights or anti-collision lights or the things that the FAA requires, those are drones that are probably operated by the United States government.
Now, the orbs that you've been seeing on the internet, that is the reason why all those drones are up there.
And that is also why the government isn't telling you what's going on.
And that's because the drones that you see that look like regular aircraft, those drones are up there to get some information on the actual orbs, which are actually the UFOs.
So again, stories everywhere.
Nobody seems to know what's really, really going on.
But the residents who have seen these orbs and potential UFO sightings and drones with their own eyes say that this is not usual activity.
Thank you.
Thank you. - Here's what President Trump has to say about it.
Even he's weighing in.
Listen to what he's got to say.
The government knows what is happening.
Look, our military knows where they took off from.
If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage.
They know where it came from and where it went.
And for some reason, they don't want to comment.
And I think they'd be better off saying what it is.
Our military knows, and our president knows.
And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.
I can't imagine it's the enemy, because if it was the enemy, they'd blast it out.
Even if they were late, they'd blast it.
Something strange is going on.
For some reason, they don't want to tell the people.
And they should, because the people are really I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster.
They're very close to Bedminster.
I think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster.
I've decided to cancel my trip.
Have you received an intelligence briefing on the drones?
I don't want to comment on that.
And then to add even more to these suspicions, the FBI has just issued a very urgent warning, urging people to not try to shoot down the drones.
Saying that it's illegal, it's unlawful, do not try to shoot these drones down.
Take a listen here.
As concerns grow over drone sightings in the Northeast, the FBI says it's deploying state-of-the-art drone detection technology, including infrared cameras to New York and New Jersey, along with trained visual observers, and now agents with a new warning, urging people not to shoot down the drones.
We are also concerned people will take matters into their own hands and fire a weapon at an aircraft.
Not only is this act against the law, but it poses an incredible danger to the pilots and passengers on those aircraft.
The warning comes amid criticism of the government's response, including from President-elect Trump.
They know where it came from and where it went.
And for some reason, they don't want to comment And I think they'd be better off saying what it is.
The White House pushing back, insisting there's nothing to hide.
There's absolutely no effort to be anything other than as upfront as we can be.
In a rare move, four federal agencies have released a joint statement saying they found nothing anomalous and no evidence of a national security or public safety threat.
Still, the sightings continue to raise serious concerns.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio was forced to briefly close its airspace due to drone incursions.
Officials say drones near military installations are not new and are taken seriously.
In the same statement, they urged Congress to give authorities more power to track drones.
When the sun goes down, the drones come out.
Our Whit Johnson rode along with police in New Jersey, spotting lights hovering over a reservoir, the erratic movements unlike those of planes.
From when I've been talking to people, they're frustrated.
They just want answers.
The increase in sightings is due in part to a rule change last year, allowing drones to be flown at night.
More than one million drones are currently registered with the FAA. Andrew Dimbert, ABC News, New York.
So why is the FBI so scared of people trying to shoot them down?
I don't know.
Everyone's wanting answers.
They're demanding answers, and we should know what's going on.
So some people are saying, hey, if these are something nefarious or sinister, then shouldn't we be able to shoot them down?
And especially if you guys aren't telling us what they are and whether they're a threat or not, should we be able to defend ourselves?
Still other people are trying to investigate what these things are, just regular everyday citizens, and they're saying that they have drones and the ones that have reported that they've tried to fly their own drones around these drones, these unidentified drones, their drones have stopped working.
Yeah, they said that they've been coming back with mechanical errors and they have stopped working.
Something weird is going on, clearly.
Something bizarre is happening.
What are these drones?
Now, I think the million-dollar question, and by the way, they're not just drones, but remember, this is all tied into the story of the orbs.
It's drones and it's orbs and it's all these different unidentified flying objects happening at the same time.
Now, the million dollar question I think clearly is, is this Project Bluebeam?
Is this actually Project Bluebeam?
Are they ready to usher this in?
Is this the time they're finally doing it?
Is Project Bluebeam real?
And is this happening right now?
And why, if so, is it happening?
Is it happening just because Trump is becoming president?
Because their COVID-19 didn't really work as they would hope or to the level that they would hope?
Is it because they're just trying to accelerate Agenda 2030?
What's going on here?
But, you know, we talked about this the other night with Dr. Stephen Greer on my show.
Project Blue Beam is very real.
I mean, Stephen Greer, whether you think he's a hack or not, he's worked for the government for many, many years too, or worked with them.
And he studied this for a long time.
And he knows, as do many people, that Project Bluebeam is real.
It's something that the deep state created back in the 1960s, where just like similar to Agenda 2030 or Agenda 2025, Or sustainable development goals, the Great Reset, COVID-19, they always, the elites always come up with these plans to reduce, to have population control, reduce the population of the planet, and put us under a totalitarian lockdown, a totalitarian lockdown.
Orwellian prison planet.
That is their goal.
And part of that is to create a one-world government, a one-world religion, strip the world of religions like Christianity and our knowing of Jesus, and strip us of our morality, strip us of our freedom, our privacy, and everything else that we hold dear.
And give us a one-world government, a one-world religion, and everyone is under one totalitarian lockdown, a controlled prison planet.
So what's interesting, and this is Project Bluebeam, and why it's so important is because it's basically what they're going to be doing, how they're going to usher in that one world government and prison planet is by faking an alien invasion.
I mean, that's the most important piece of this Project Bluebeam, faking an alien invasion.
So they have very, very high-level technology, obviously, with high-level holograms and Ability to create this, basically to fake this, to fake this alien invasion.
And people are going to start thinking there's aliens.
People are going to start thinking there's UFOs flying around, that they're nefarious, that they have come with malicious intent.
And like Independence Day, the movie.
I mean...
People are going to think that these are real and it will all be the government.
It will all just be the deep state.
And everyone's going to be in such a state of terror.
And they're going to roll out and create such an atmosphere of terror all over the news.
All the media talking heads will be a part of this.
They will all be in lockstep with the messaging.
Just like they did with COVID-19.
Just like they do with all the wars.
The Israel war.
Everybody is afraid for Israel, so we're giving them all our money and our support.
The Ukraine war.
Same thing.
All of our wars.
And especially though COVID-19, they instilled such fear in us that we were willing to give up our privacy, give up our freedom in order for us to feel safe.
And everybody united in lockstep.
We all united stronger together, hashtag stronger together, six feet, six feet apart, six inches apart, social distancing.
We were all in lockstep together and the whole world kind of put their own differences aside.
And we were all really being ruled by the same universal law and dictatorship and the same orders, the same COVID orders.
And if they could do it then, they could do it again.
COVID-19, I believe, was just a test run to see how well the world would comply to Project Bluebeam, to an even bigger, scarier demon than COVID-19, something even scarier of a threat than COVID-19.
And what's scarier than COVID-19?
Because there were still a lot of people that, like me, that didn't believe that it was very scary.
An alien invasion.
If you're really seeing things that look like freaking aliens and look like huge UFOs hovering over the sky right by you, you're probably going to be a little scared.
You're probably going to be a little bit freaked out.
And that's something that even I can't say for 100% certainty.
If I saw that hanging out by my house and it was huge and it was realistic, You know, I don't know how I'd react.
I would like to say, hey, that's just Project Bluebeam.
I'm not scared of that.
But who knows if it's seriously right there, how I would really feel and how most people would actually react.
So I'd love to think I would be really big and tough and just write it off as Project Bluebeam and I'm ahead of it.
No big deal.
It's fake.
But we never know exactly how it's going to affect us.
And they will make sure that it's very realistic and very, very scary.
So here's some of the other goals of Project Bluebeam.
So they want to be able to, it's a plot to engender a dictatorial universal government that abolishes Christianity in favor of the new world order.
A totalitarian state would be achieved through staged futuristic NASA technology that pretends to be proof of alien presence or attacks.
So, this is what's even more interesting, and then we're going to read a little bit more about Project Bluebeam. and then we're going to read a little bit more Let's remove all that part where I'm just looking at my phone, please.
All right.
Project Bluebeam is implementing a one world government, requires everyone to share a single set of values that takes the population and makes it much easier to control.
Step one, create a single religion where everyone worships the same God.
New age religion will be the very foundation of the new world government.
How do you destroy all religions?
Find new archaeological artifacts that discredit them, produce hard evidence as proof that their doctrine is wrong.
Show space in the sky.
This is their second goal.
Project Bluebeam will have the biggest, they call it the biggest show, the biggest space show in the sky.
But it's so much more.
NASA and a few other intelligence agencies developed the technology to project 3D holographic images onto the sky and have it be so, so, so realistic that you wouldn't believe, that you wouldn't think it was not true, that you wouldn't think it wasn't real.
Step three is mind control.
They'll use technology to broadcast the message directly into your brain.
You may not even realize it, they say.
When the new God appears in step two, you'll hear him speaking, whether you believe in him or not, and you won't be able to escape his realistic power.
And wherever you are in the world, evidently, it will be speaking to you in your language.
Step number four is alien invasion.
The fourth and final stage of Project Bluebeam is the most sinister.
Serge Monast predicts a universal supernatural manifestation with electronic means.
In other words, an alien invasion, a full alien invasion.
And the elites will promise to unite the whole world in fear.
Fear that is so terrifying that people would gladly give up their freedom in exchange for survival.
Project Bluebeam achieves its goal in four steps.
Step one, create a single religion where everyone worships the same God, the God they create.
Serge been asked to call this the New Age religion.
We must remember that the New Age religion is the very foundation for the New World Government, without which the decadorship is completely impossible.
That is why the Blue Beam Project is so important to them, but has been so well hidden until now.
How do you destroy all religions?
Well, find new archaeological artifacts that discredit them, produce hard physical evidence as proof that their doctrine is wrong.
It wouldn't be the first time that religion was impacted by a new discovery.
The Dead Sea Scrolls.
For hundreds of years, the Bible was thought to be complete.
Then in 1947, a shepherd finds some clay jars in a cave, and suddenly there are new religious texts like the Book of Jubilees, the Wisdom of Solomon, and the Book of Tobit.

Welcome back to Shots Fired.
All right.
Well, our favorite doctor friend here is probably going to kill me for this, but I have gained, sadly, about five pounds throughout this Halloween season, this holiday season already since Halloween.
I feel like I'm like, I'm not fitting in my pants anymore.
What's up?
Maybe it's almost time for my period.
But no, I stepped on the scale the other day and I've gained a couple pounds since Halloween.
So I wanted to make this a topic today because I seem to gain at least five pounds during the holiday season, no matter what.
And I can't seem to avoid all that extra turkey and gravy and buttered rolls and everything.
And then I start getting lax on exercising and stuff because I just, I want to be with family and relaxing.
So I wanted to bring in our favorite doctor, Dr. Mark Sherwood, of course, to talk about this and reindeer us in.
How can we still stay healthy for the holidays, not pack on a bunch of weight, still somehow make it into our fitness routine at least a little bit, and not be like, it's January 1st, I've gained about 20 pounds, what do I do now?
So thanks for coming on, Dr. Sherwood.
How are you doing today?
I'm doing well.
I had to sort of wear my reindeer glasses.
Love it.
Just to kind of make it my laugh and bring in a little festivity of the season.
Yes.
And rain us in.
Yeah, you bring up a good point.
This time of year, we tend to become lax in very important things.
Yeah.
And just to put it in perspective, this time of year is a special time of year, and it's not a guilt trip.
It's not a shame game I'm putting on people.
But if we enjoy these times of years, And these times of seasons, why don't we do better in these times of seasons so we can have more?
Good point.
It's so hard to, though.
It's so hard to not kind of feel that laziness that, you know, I want to just stay in and not work out or just eat a bunch of extra turkey and cookies and stuff.
Well, yeah, and I look at that, but ultimately, over this time of year, that's why I facetiously call January the month of repentance.
We don't need to have that going on.
I'll take these off so I can be intellectual self for a moment.
But the idea behind this is the more times we do it, The higher the pattern of that standard weight plateau is, it just keeps going up, keeps going up, keeps going up.
And the more we age in life, the lack of resiliency increases.
So what we got away with five years ago, we can't get away with now.
It's a little more challenging.
So I always tell people, don't open Pandora's box.
If you want to have a bite, have a bite.
But as we've talked about before, genetically speaking, There's a tendency in most people that I deal with genetically that have a tendency to gravitate towards a sweet tooth, which means when they open Pandora's box, they can't eat just one.
So keeping in mind that's a normal taste, genetically driven, it does set us up for weight gain and even failures with our diet this time of year especially.
So it's interesting you say that because I know people that just have this incredible sweet tooth and they have to seriously fight the urge to have ice cream and cookies every night.
And, you know, any sweet that lies around, it's a temptation for them.
I, on the other hand, seem to have some kind of salty tooth.
I would much rather take, you know, four extra helpings of turkey and gravy or cheeseburgers than a slice of cake or pie.
You know, the sweetness doesn't appeal to me as much as the savory and salty stuff.
Is that something that could possibly be genetic too?
It is.
There's people that gravitate towards a salty taste or savory taste, which more towards the idea of those more adrenal-driven people.
Think adrenal, adrenaline.
That is so me.
Yeah, that's so funny you say that.
Yes.
Right?
Now, the people that are more driven towards like highs, you know, like think a drug high or a dopamine hit.
They would gravitate more towards the sugar because sugar does drive dopamine and sugar drives dopamine even better than cocaine does.
So the studies have been elicited many times for that.
So it's interesting how we tend to gravitate towards things, but knowing that ahead of time, knowing that genetically gives us the ability to sort of control it better, doesn't It's like nothing's wrong with you.
It's just that's the way we're wired.
And it's not a genetic problem.
It's an environmental problem because we don't have just seasonal foods laying around anymore.
We have anything you want, anytime you want.
So therein lies the problem.
So how bad is it then, like, if I'm kind of binge eating holiday cookies and stuff for even maybe a couple weeks at a time off my diet and I'm eating kind of whatever I want, let's say I gain 5, maybe even 10 pounds, and then January hits, is that pretty, is that, like you said, it's harder to lose that when you're 35 or 40 years old or more than versus if you're 25 years old, it kind of It rolls off you.
It's kind of quicker to bounce your body back into shape.
It is more difficult over time.
And every time we do that, I think that we would categorize that as not a positive experience.
You know, it's not a good thing to do.
Right.
Because what we're doing is we're creating an enormous amount of increased inflammation on the body willingly, you know.
Yeah.
And again, body's unique.
It'll bounce back.
I mean, God did an amazing thing creating us in His image.
I think that's cool.
But it is like...
Not...
I'm not exaggerating the problem, but using it as just an analogy.
It's like putting hyper-grace in the situation.
I'm going to keep walking in front of the bus, and I'm going to keep getting a new leg.
Eventually, that will catch up to us.
Interesting.
Okay.
So that's good to know.
You can't keep cheating for that long.
Now, if you're on vacation and you're around family and stuff and you can't get to your regular gym very often as you would want to, you know, you can't do your regular type of activities, is it still better to do some sort of physical activity, even a walk around your parents' cul-de-sac or something every day or every other day as opposed to just letting it all go and saying, I'm just going to worry about this when I get back?
Yeah, it is.
It's always wisdom to do some activity.
The thing that I say to people many times, Deanna, is this.
The only day you don't exercise or move is the day you're dead.
Movement is life.
Lack of movement is rigor mortis.
Just kind of keep that in perspective.
And honestly, our legs are made to ambulate or move, and our arms are made to do more than put food to our mouths.
They're made to pick up things.
And so, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I mean, gyms are relatively a new thing for our Our world, right?
They've only been around 100 years or so, but activity is something that we all can do.
So no matter where you are, make it fun.
I mean, in your case, get outside with the family and kids, and that can be some of the most relaxing things ever that you do.
Activity, outside, outdoor stuff.
There's nothing better than that.
And I always tell people too, don't blow it off.
Don't live a day where you say the heck with it because that is a day that you're going to wish you had back.
Everybody that I know that has times like that, they have sort of this semblance of regret.
Boy, I wish I wouldn't do that anymore.
I wish I hadn't done that anymore because every time I do it, it becomes harder.
It's true.
And I'm talking from experience here and dealing with people for the last 15 years of that.
I hear that enough.
And so I feel confident to say, you know, people should not take a lot of pride or stock and just throw their hands up and say, I'll catch it later.
Because, hey, man, embrace the presence of today.
You get my point?
The presence.
The presence in the season are P-R-E-S-E-N-T-S. The presence we need to embrace is the presence and precious time of people.
P-R-E-S-E-N-C-E. And that's really important to think about as far as perspective goes, because I love this time of year, man.
But I've also realized that it can be a destructive time of year.
And I don't want it to do that.
I want it to be constructive.
I want it to be uplifting and peaceful for people.
Amen.
And it's because it's not just your body, it's God's body.
And, you know, he has taught us to treat our body like a temple, like his temple.
And just because it's the holidays, I mean, and especially because it's the holidays, don't just throw it all down the tubes.
Don't just mistreat your body.
It is, you can indulge a little bit, you know, you can have some cookies, you can have some turkey and stuff, but just don't throw it all by the wayside.
And also don't expect it all to just go right back to where it was if you do that.
Have common sense, have discipline, is what you're saying.
It is.
And just to point out, Jesus talks about our body in Romans 12. Present your body as a living sacrifice, pure and holy.
That is your pleasing example.
And that's what we're supposed to do.
So it's not ours to abuse any way you look at it.
And I think that we have to begin to think about valuing it like that.
Amen.
Well, cool.
