Welcome to another Still in the Storm Substack post.
Today, I want to talk about Thanksgiving, not just the big meal that awaits most of us.
I am speaking of gratitude, of giving thanks.
Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
This year I am grateful for many things.
First and foremost, I’m grateful to all of you for your incredible support.
And, I’m grateful that I had the strength and support to resist taking the jab in 2021.
In doing so I was able to preserve my integrity. I chose my health and well-being over a career.
I’m proud to stand alongside all those who made the same decision.
I’m grateful to God for giving me that strength. My faith has definitely carried me through.
And I’m grateful to my wife and kids for their unwavering support despite my frustration with losing my career.
What are you grateful for?
Sound off in the discussion below.
Here’s to a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving for you and your families.
Talk soon,
Mike
P.S. I would love your feedback. Are you interested in a course on learning to understand science?
This would be something that teaches you a process that you can use to discern and evaluate the findings in any scientific study and much more.
Let me know by hitting 'reply' and sending a response. You can also email me directly at: mikedonio@substack.com. I will read and respond to every email.

I’m grateful to the Lord for bringing me to new horizons and deepening my relationship with Him.
I started following Dr Joe Dispenza and doing the meditations he has created in February ... and so much of his teaching is about feeling gratitude. As much as I remember to I feel gratitude. I feel gratitude for:
--- Dr Joe's teachings and meditations because I know they're very powerful and have already helped me with a health condition and my tendency to lose my cool in argument with people (oh my goodness)
--- Those who do his work and give testimony of their results as they really inspire me to keep going
--- "Divine energies"
--- For all those - like you Mike - who are truthtellers, stand against all the lies and - in some cases - have courageously suffered job loss for their principles.
Recently, my computer started playing up so that every few minutes my monitor goes black for a few seconds. So far, my attempts to remedy have failed but then yesterday I thought I'd make lemonade from lemons - I use the short blackout to lift my arms (beneficial for my health condition) and feel gratitude ... and so far it seems to be working very well!
With regard to science, what do you believe about manmade climate change, Mike? When I first learnt of AGW in about 2009 it made sense to me that massively pumping into the atmosphere a gas which at a trace level has a significant effect on temperature would probably cause serious problems. Even though until the last few years I tended to have faith in what was put forward as science I still made every effort to give consideration to all the arguments against AGW but they really didn't seem to hold up. Now I'm having doubts especially knowing about this report from 1991:
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned namely mistaking systems for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”“The First Global Revolution”, A Report by the Council of the Club of Rome by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider 1991.
