LEINE Acne Clinic was born out of a deeply personal struggle. The founder, Madeleine Fetty, battled acne for years, which left her with shattered confidence and numerous failed treatments. This personal journey inspired her to start LEINE Acne Clinic, a place where others could find the help she wished had been available to her. “I battled with acne for years which hurt my confidence and consumed my thoughts,” Madeleine shares. “I was met with several band-aid approaches by the specialists I saw and was put on medications with harmful side effects. This inspired me to obtain the tools to clear my skin and to help kids struggling with the same issues.”

You are blessed when you get to go to school with a lunch packed with good things. All the good things in your school lunch were provided by mom, dad, a grandparent or some other grown up. When lunch time comes and you find someone who is in need and you get to share your lunch with them, it leads to giving thanks for whoever bought, assembled and sent you to school with that lunch. It also leads to thanking God, who made the food and provided those who grew, packaged, sold, bought, cooked and assembled the food.

Do not let the fact this place is next door to a Home Boys convenience store and gas station sway your opinion. This is a great little spot that serves great food at a fair price. You can play a round of pool or some arcade games. The food is elevated, the atmosphere is open, and the service is great. Worth the stop. It’s also owned by a Rockwall native.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Oobleck, sounds like the name of someone from the Old Testament, but it is not. Oobleck is a mixture of two parts cornstarch to one part water and is known as a non-Newtonian fluid, which is a fluid that does not follow Newton’s law of viscosity. This means that a change in force changes its viscosity. In other words, when you first see Oobleck, it looks like a liquid, but if you move it and keep it moving, it acts like a solid. Just like there is more to Oobleck than what you can first see, God’s presence in our lives is more than what we can first see.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
