Now the wind picks up. It was nice and calmer early. Hello and welcome once again to the Rugged Rockhound. Sorry, it's a little breezy today. Eventually I want to get a better camera or at least a better microphone. That'll happen eventually. Anyway, today I'm once again north of Grand Junction looking for Barite. So last time you were with me I was where that big hill is. I was down in some of those lower hills and other places we've been searching is over that way.  It'll be less up and downhill. But it'll probably also be harder to find stuff. So since there won't be as much exposure and these have probably been hit pretty good. So I don't know. Let's give it a shot and see what we can find today. And here is our first potential spot. I'm really far from the vehicle. So here I saw all these broken calcite just sitting around exposed and then it was just here and then nothing, right? I don't really see what looks like a whole dug. You know, so I'm like I'm gonna start digging and I'm digging and I'm certainly getting the rock here and definitely getting calcite coming out of it. So this is a good spot to dig and see what we can find. Looking good. We got the nice color you want. The nice reddish color, rust color basically. And we definitely get nice veins of calcite popping out here. You got a really good vein of calcite going right here. That's all calcite. There's a piece of it. This is looking very promising. Things are getting even better. So here we have kind of that dark rim rock that you usually see on the edge of one of the nodules and then inside of it, I should say concretions. But inside of it, look at that. Just hit into some nice calcite. Oh, it's looking really good here. Just wanted to show you.  So it's just a small one, but we've got terminated crystals. I've got crystal edges that I've been finding. So good calcite. Just no barite yet. As I dig further into this, it looks good. The calcite's getting better. But no barite. It does happen out here though. Sometimes you'll dig one out and it won't have any barite. But maybe we can still get some good calcite crystals. So we've been getting in there a ways and just more and more calcite. Decided to just kind of look around. See, I'm still just right there. And I saw this. I walked over here and this had a bunch of calcite coming out of it. And then you had another one up here, but I didn't really see any calcite. So I just scraped off a little bit. Didn't see much. Came down here. Started scraping this off and I believe that's a barite crystal right there. Broken. And it was right just... It was like what, two inches below the surface? I think I'm gonna move over here and dig into this. That's a barite. I'm pretty sure. So awesome. Let's dig into this. Here's this one washed off. So we got the crystal there on top. It's broken, of course. But it's cool to get them on matrix. And this is why you take it slow. You see that? You look at that and you think it's just a rock. But look where it's broken. That's not a rock. That's a crystal. And from what I can tell, it's pretty clear. So pretty sure it's calcite. It's pretty light. So it's just calcite.  Gotta take it slow. I'm gonna take that home and clean it off, though, because if it's really clear, I want to keep it. So I've been digging for a while, and it's just been a lot of calcite, again. But I just pulled this out, which I think might have barite right there. And who knows what else? I can't tell. It's really dirty. So we'll take that home and clean it off. But I really think that's barite right there, which means we might have some more barite down there.   So we've got a few potentials here. One that I'm pretty sure is that one. Two possibilities here and just some nice calcites in there as well. So got a few things, but it kind of just started disappearing. So it might have been that there was the kind of the end of one of these and the rest of what it way. Don't know for sure, but cool. Anyway, that's where I'm ending today. The sun's getting low, so time to head home. And here's this one washed off. Just a broken piece. And I'm back at home. So I thought originally I was going to go out more during the week and get out more and dig some more barite, but it just didn't work out this week. And I I ended up doing other things, getting some other work done. So I've only only went out once. So that's where we're going to end the video here today is just that one time out. Still a lot of fun, had a great time. And remember, there is treasure everywhere.


Body image. Body image issues can affect your intimate relationships, sometimes in ways you may not realize. Having body dysmorphia may feel like being stuck with a fun house mirror. You look at yourself, but all you see are distorted versions of your body. The American Psychological Association defines body dysmorphia as an extreme dislike or hatred towards some aspects of your appearance. The dislike may not even be warranted. Imagine the struggle of seeking intimacy with your partner or shame, anxiety, and self-consciousness intertwine. The act of undressing before someone can become particularly daunting, especially for individuals grappling with body dysmorphia. While people's experience with body dysmorphia differs, one thing remains the same.  A 2019 study published in Psychiatry Research showed that those with BDD, due to body shame, shun intimate relationships and sexual acts. Researchers also noted higher incidences of compulsive sexual behavior. They believed that those who engaged in compulsive behaviors were doing so to compensate for feelings of inadequacy stemming from BDD. Depression. Depression can affect all stages of sexual functioning, though it most commonly affects desire and arousal. When someone is coping with depression, it's difficult for them to find pleasure in activities. An article published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology mentioned that sexual dysfunction is very common among those with depression, whether it's caused by the condition or by medication used in treatment. Anxiety. I'm sure you've heard the phrase, misery loves company. While in this case, depression loves anxiety. If you know that depression is not the one responsible for killing the mood, check in with depression's friend. Anxiety. Anxiety mainly affects the arousal and desire stages. Anxiety in some individuals can cause distraction and may make the person unaware of sexual stimuli. It literally blindfolds you from engaging with your partner. Why does anxiety act like a blindfold? Well, ask your nervous system. We all have two types of autonomic nervous systems, the parasympathetic and the sympathetic. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for making you feel content, calm and at ease. It allows you to get in the mood. However, for someone with anxiety, they're living in the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system kicks in when we are stressed, anxious and feel like we're in danger. In this state, different hormones get released. For example, adrenaline. The body's too busy preparing itself to run away to enjoy the moment. The release of adrenaline constricts blood vessels which in men can cause erectile dysfunction. Stress. Performance anxiety is a notorious mood killer. Just look at Adam from Sex Education. For those who have seen the show, mostly referencing the first season. He was definitely not feeling himself whenever he was with Amy. And there's nothing better at pulling you out of the moment than stress. Stress can sometimes come from your anxiety to do well while having sex, relax. Most people don't get report cards after having sex. But the stress can also come from something else. Sometimes it's work, old conflicts or just general random stress. The way stress interrupts sexy time is by distracting you. It keeps you from focusing on what is going on in front of you. Not only that, but your body is stuck in a parasympathetic system. An eternal loop of stress caused by stress that then makes you more stressed. Past trauma. PTSD can also hinder a sexual experience. Not just sexual health, but PTSD affects many aspects such as personality and mood. It can also be a factor in conditions like substance abuse, suicidal ideation and interpersonal difficulties. It's effects cast such a long shadow that when it comes to sexual functioning, PTSD may affect each stage of sexual functioning from desire to orgasm in more ways than we would think.  To the extent that sexual activities can be explicit reminders of trauma, even when traumatic experiences were non-sexual. This means that the correlation between PTSD and sexual dysfunction is more nuanced than we think. Unfortunately, more study is needed to explain how and in what way it specifically affects a person's sexual health. Unresolved issues in the relationship. Finally, unresolved issues in a relationship can affect what happens in bed. Nothing turns a person off like being legitimately upset with your partner. Even though you both resolve the issue, feelings of resentment or bitterness still linger. The relationship feels different, off. It feels like you both are barely tolerating each other.  These unresolved grievances can make intimacy difficult. Why? Because sex is more than just physically getting together. There's an emotional aspect as well. When both parties are emotionally distant from each other, the physical aspect is underwhelming. Therapist Kristi Overstreet explains that when you get your emotional needs met and feel emotionally connected to your partner, that is, you have emotional intimacy, then you're often more able and willing to connect sexually. In other words, emotional intimacy often bolsters sexual intimacy. She's right. Sex is about feeling comfortable around the person you're with. So if you're experiencing some issues in the intimacy department and don't know the cause, use this list as a guide. Keep in mind that there may be other causes and factors that are causing sexual frustration. It's always best to reach out to a medical health professional for help.

Welcome to all my God ministries. I am your host Reverend Anita Morris and This week we will talk about God's answers to prayers in a Thanksgiving Psalm found in Psalm 20 20 and That is Psalm 20 the Thanksgiving for God who Processed to give him thanks of answered to prayers Heavenly Father, we thank you for your gracious gift of Your Holy Spirit who dwells in a believer in all believers We thank you Lord God for never leaving us lonely for being our compassionate father our Mother our sister our friend Thank you Lord for being so kind so so merciful Towards us and I just thank you Lord God for your love and for your tender mercies as Psalm 103 reads oh bless the Lord. Oh my soul and all that is within me Bless his holy name. Oh bless the Lord.  That means what comes out of your mouth will be good things of Thanksgiving and not with a bitter soul or bitter taste of Bitterness and sowing strife and confusion, but it will be a glory to God It will be of gratitude Because God who fills all those lonely places has answered your prayers We thank you all gracious God for answering the prayers of the many those who are saved those who are unsaved those who have come to a knowledge of the Lord and Who have received parting for their sins and those who don't know you? the darkness of their lives that they come to know you and Receive you as their Lord and Savior We thank you Lord God For this is February love month not only February love month, but it also It's United States of America as we Celebrate Black History Month, so we thank you Lord God for our pioneers who went before us who paved the way for us and Thank you Lord God that you have allowed us to see a new day a new mercy and being so kind to us and Thank you Lord God for remembering us and our prayers and all these things would give you things amen and amen And Psalm 20 a prayer for victory in battle Such a prayer can help us prepare for any great challenge David knew King David But the Old Testament who is in a lineage of Jesus Christ He knew that trust should be placed in the Lord of hosts the Lord of heaven's armies and the Lord more than in Human power, so he never even allowed himself to the steadiness to Rest in human power, but allow him to rest his faith his hope and God's power that's a mighty mighty witness of the Fortitude of someone's faith that is recognized and resound and when it's resounding like that Others can just stay in awe and witness that was a great man That was a great woman because their faith did not rest in human power But rested in God and God delivered and rescued him or her from many battles and that is credit to God my beloved God is good and greatly to be praised and Psalm 20 it reads in times of trouble may the Lord answer your cry There was many times. I'm sure that you have laid silent and In quietness silent in tears You know, you might happen have had grief Long hours people that don't even know about it But God has started to answer your prayers slowly, but surely he said he's an on-time God as one of the Gospel orders of Shirley Cesar had Sung the song said he's an on time God Yes, he is he may not come when you want to always it might be dotty peoples, but he's right on time He's an on-time God, okay? So as we recognize that even in our persistence That our answer to prayer may not be right away it might take great faith of your practicing patience of character of hope of of challenge of of Resistance of perseverance of steadiness of steadfastness of being firm of Your hope and what you believe and not being deterred by what others would like for you to do But you know what God has told you to do, but you have remained faithful and God has answered and honored your prayers And it goes on May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm Now as you know the God of Jacob as we say in the forefathers of the old biblical testament of the Torah The fathers of Abraham of Jacob of Isaac of Jacob, okay? So those were the forefathers of the Old Testament And you know when Jacob had stole his blessing from Esau who was the eldest and His mom actually Conspired with Jacob to do so So Jacob had to run for his life from his own own brother Because of that stolen blessing and there was many many years of animosity jealousy that wrecked havoc and Jacob's life that he was afraid of Meeting ever laying eyes on his eldest brother Esau because he thought that Esau will kill him because he stole The inhabitants the proclamation of the blessing from father to son Even though Esau traded it for a soup, which he was very hungry. So It's also a responsibility level as well On Esau's part But nevertheless it said me the God of Jacob not Esau, but the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm and as we recognize beloved that Jacob was kept from harm all those years of patience of trials of Servitude when he had to serve his life or I would say serve Yeah, his life to wed Rachel, but he was given Leah, but he had to serve additional seven years for Rachel That's the entire the total years were 14 years in awe Before he was released to be wed to Rachel of his choice and And God had answered his prayers so we can see that There will be times of affliction there will be times of trials But we want God to answer you and recover you from all those Trials of challenges that may be too hard for you to fathom too hard for you To recover in your own strength, but you have to beloved look in the strength of the Lord For in Zechariah 4 6 it reads for it's not by might nor by power Human power, okay, but it is by God's spirit Says the Lord so God will move upon whom he will move and he will show glory upon whom he showed glory and that his power will be resound in his creation and in the earth and Verse 2 It reads may he send you help from his sanctuary and Strengthen you from Jerusalem So not only is the word of God asking and Soliciting for God's help, which is the root word of Help is your shower and your shower is upright righteous, but Yeshua means help Rescue deliverance that is Jesus's name to send you help in the beginning was God the word in the beginning was God and Dwarf among us and we beheld his glory so as God was in the beginning. He also Was wisdom in Christ Jesus Not yet made known to the earth Okay, so but so God be the glory. He said may he send you help from his and verse 3 It reads may he read your gifts and Look favorably on your burnt offerings Have you had encountered a time? Where you utilize all your gifts all your talents or work for nonprofits?  That's what I'm asking God for you today That you will receive your harvest as he has also been revealing and showing the impact of What he has endowed with in my life and showing me the harvest of the lives of others that God has allowed me to plant the seeds there and it has grown and it's Prospering and that's all to give God the glory Not of my glory, but unto God all the glory and it's so powerful at so What do you call it breathtaking to see God's word take place and other human lives other than your own and Verse four it reads may he grant your heart's desires and make all not some But all your plans succeed How many people are planners out there earn that you know exactly what you're doing from three months from now Six months from now how much money you're spending or what do you need to get out of the hole?

It says before we even ask God said I have already answered you. You already knew what you were pondering before you even uttered it on your lips He he is that good For God is good and he's greatly to be praised and so he wants to make himself known To you not among you only but to you intimately As he is known he wants to be known to you In verse 6 of Psalm 20 Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king He will answer him from his holy heaven and Rescue him by his great power even when David had to meet the challenge of his predecessor which is King his his predecessor or He was the predecessor however you say that saw And King David right He was fleeing from King Saul and even though David King David had an opportunity to Kill saw he said To himself that even God will not allow that for me to slay my brother It says touch not his God's anointed and do his prophet no harm So even in that stature of great power of great influence We are responsible beloved to not take Life in our own hands to will power Over those whom we can easily overcome and allow ourselves to be God in their lives and to Take a life that it does not belong to us beloved that belongs to God and The risk belongs to God the consequences is God So I just thank God he didn't rest any of that situation on you when you have been What do you call it run have it with or have been? You know a lot great atrocities as we recall Black History Month or any kind of month where you see African-Americans who have been brutally beaten or lynched back in Years ago hundred and fifty years, maybe even seventy five years, maybe even sixty years Maybe that's still mention people that we don't even know about But to God be the glory it's not for us beloved to take life in our own hands Okay, even in verse six it reads In verse seven some nations both of their chariots and horses of human power of Exploits of what they did and how much harm they have caused to humanity and that is a grave danger It says but we will boast in the name of the Lord our God Because God gives us great rescue even from the wills of the power of those who want to commit atrocities upon a people group God gives great deliverance. He gives great power and he Like I said he lifts up one and he sets down the other So just know that in verse eight it says those nations will fall down and collapse But we will rise up and stand firm even when I mentioned earlier That When your faith is strong just continue to stay strong In the power of God's might for it's not by Might nor by power, but it's by God's spirit his might That overshadows and it causes you to stand firm Causes you to stand stand hopeful and cause you to not be teared By your peers when they're going a different way, but God says this is the way and I want you to walk there And I want you to stay put. I want you to still honor me.  In this season God is asking But your faith must stand firm Okay, and then in verse nine at closing it says give victory to our king Oh lord answer. I cry for help so even in challenging times even at times where we have also see on tv if those are people are Knowledgeable or staying current events that People might see that we might embark on another government shutdown for those who work for the federal government and some entities where Being threatened by another government shutdown through via the wall um of president trump's administration But to God be the glory that he answers our prayers when we call that we stand in the gap for others When they have areas of lack But it says no good thing Well, he withholds from you who walk upright.

U.S.-led West's tank supplies to Kiev regime may spark World War III. Western tank supplies to the Zelensky regime in Ukraine could lead to World War III, so it is time to talk some sense into the Americans and conclude a sustainable peace deal with Russia. French economist Pierre de Gaulle, grandson of France's esteemed ex-president General Charles de Gaulle, has said, Speaking at the Round Table Conference devoted to the memory of the Second World War in Russia and France and in the run-up to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad, de Gaulle noted that the West's decision to supply Ukraine with heavy tanks raised the risk of unleashing World War III since it would provoke the supply of even more powerful weapons and weapons of even greater range. This is the abyss on the edge of which we are standing, he added. I would like to say this, the time is ripe to make peace, to reason with the Americans and to reach a stable, firm and lasting peace with Russia. It is time for France, its president Emmanuel Macron, to recall that they are a great independent nation and their mission is to play a worthy role. Also, it is necessary to provide Russia with serious guarantees, de Gaulle believes. He also noted that France had become unfriendly to Russia because of the short-sighted policies and erroneous decisions by its establishment. France blindly follows US policies. The French no longer trust their politicians, who have discredited themselves. They oppose consensus, he continued. I am outraged to hear the French presidents say that the beginning of a war is a test for the EU. We know that there is a tremendous number of people who are suffering, he maintained. According to de Gaulle, the supply of new Western weapons to Ukraine won't be able to have a decisive impact on the course of the conflict, nor will the Ukrainian army be able to influence the development of the situation either. These Western policies need to be reined in. Unfortunately, Western politicians do not realize this. They are trying to make us think that they are in control of the situation. This is a lie. They do not understand either the history or the consequences. He concluded. Chairman of the Russian Historical Society, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, handed de Gaulle a copy of the photograph of General Charles de Gaulle made during a visit in the Soviet Union in 1966. Thank you very much, dear Mr. de Gaulle, for your open, honest, and should I say courageous statement and for your firm and highly principled position. Let me present to you with one historical photograph in memory of our meeting today. This is a copy of the photograph that is kept at the Museum of Modern History of Russia. The photograph highlights the memorable already historic visit that your esteemed grandfather, President Charles de Gaulle, paid to the Soviet Union in 1966, Naryshkin said.
