One is the "Lion of Judah," evoking imagery of majesty, power, and authority. Rev. 5:5 (NIV), says, "Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He can open the scroll and its seven seals.”  The Lion Tells His Tale is an African Proverb that says, "Until the lion tells his tale, the hunt will always glorify the hunter."Essentially, he who holds the pen controls the narrative. How do we make room for diverse voices to be heard in the story of American History?  Who will tell the "Unspoken Truths" of the African American experience?  These questions are explored in the world premiere play, "The Lion Tells His Tale."

I Kings 19:9 (NASB) says, "Then he came there to a cave and spent the night there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” What would your response be if asked the same question during difficulty?  Join us on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at 3:30 p.m. (PT) as we discuss managing the ups and downs of life and Christian service. Dr. Michael Ley, our special guest, will share a biblical perspective. Dr. Ley is a minister, teacher, and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946.   Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

He is a person, not it, and indwells and fills believers so we can walk in His power and guidance.<br /><br />John 3:5-6 says, 5 "Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." <br /><br />Join us Tuesday, October 4, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we consider the purpose of the Holy Spirit in our lives. <br /><br />Hope4Today is an outreach program for the Yield to the King Ministry.

While living life we will encounter happiness, sadness, fear, and anger, just to name a few emotions. But the reality is, humankind was created to feel and show emotions. The million dollar question is how do we respond to God when life’s circumstances directs us to the pathways of pain, disappointment, guilt, or shame? Our challenge is to stay on course and not detour. God wants us to seek and trust Him throughout our entire journey with all its ups and downs.  Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight" There is a reason for everything God allows us to face. Pain also provides us an opportunity to experience the grace of God. He will give us what we need to endure.

She was fair to look upon. Her husband, the King was wealthy. He gloated in his wealth for six months. At the conclusion of this eventful lifestyle, he held one last feast of seven days. During this feast, King Ahasuerus summoned for Vashti, his wife. He wanted her to parade before the princes and nobles of all his provinces to show off her beauty.  Queen Vashti refused to do so and was dethroned. This remarkable story is recorded in chapter 1 of the Book of Esther. God has a master plan for all of us. Sometimes we don’t know how His plans for our lives are interwoven into His plans for the lives of others.

Whether ordained clergy or not, God desires that all be laborers in His kingdom. When God gives us an assignment, He equips us to carry out His work. His calling always includes a concern about others and the condition of their souls. Ministry is not merely something we can do, but something we must do. How does one know when a calling has been placed on their life for ministry? It becomes an overwhelming obsession without escape.<br /><br />Ephesians 4:1-3 (NKJV) says, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." <br /><br />Join us Tuesday, January 12, 2021, at 3:30 PM, PST.  Rev.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, to you all. Yes, the time has come to wrap up the old and usher in the new. What's in store exactly? I don't know. But, I will give thanks to God for a new beginning, a fresh start, and second chances. The year 2020 will go down in US history as a time of civil, social, and political unrest; a period when hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis; and two-quarters of the US economy crashing. Through it all, many lost hope and the possibility of what a bright future may hold.<br /><br />Jeremiah 29:11-12 (NIV) says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Oliphant and La Verna D. Jones Oliphant, both originally from Iowa. While growing up, Vida discovered these two truths: we all are created with a particular “bent” and our life’s assignment is to learn how to submit that “bent” to the Master’s hand.  Based on Deuteronomy 6:5-9, Vida did submit and began her life-rewarding homeschool journey.  Vida graduated from high school at age 16 and attended the University of Washington for two years before transferring to University of Southern California where she graduated with a BA in English. She returned to Seattle to marry the love of her life, Steve Sneed and God blessed them with six children.  Vida received her Elementary Education Teaching Certificate and taught in the Seattle Public Schools for a very short time. The Lord redirected her course to homeschooling her then three children. This was a life-changing, will-bending journey of faith that culminated in 19 years of homeschooling all six children while providing care for other children the Lord sent along the way. Vida says, “For 19 years I quit every morning telling the Lord I can’t do this. It’s too hard for me. And He responded, ‘You’re right you can’t. Let me do it through you.’ And He did.”  Vida and Steve have five grandchildren and one one the way. In their spare time, they spend quality time with family, travel, and are very active in their church and community. She currently serves as Co-Assistant Superintendent of the Christian Education Ministry at First A.M.E. Church in Seattle, Washington.

We will make our ascent if we just trust God.  <br /><br />Habakkuk 3:19 says, "The Lord God is my strength, and He has made my feet like hinds’ feet and makes me walk on my high places. The promise is we are given hind feet that are swift, firm, and steady. And, God will always give us the ability, by His strength, to live victoriously. <br /><br />Join us Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we discuss ways to walk in spiritual freedom and joy, amid chaos. Regardless of our circumstances, we can find the fullest measure of joy in the Lord. <br /><br />Hope4Today is an outreach program for the Yield to the King Ministry.

The question for the day is "How can we improve our vision of God the Father so we can see Him amid our daily living activities?"<br /><br />The Book of Romans, 1:20, says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse...…"(NIV)  With the Holy Spirit's help, we can see God's hands in all things, feel His almighty power, and experience His steadfast love.<br /><br />Join us Tuesday, January 14, 2020, at 3:30, PST.  We will examine the obvious –that being, God is the creator of all things. Yet for some, answers the question of why it is a hidden picture to the naked eye.    <br /><br />Hope4Today is an outreach program for the Yield to the King Ministry.

God the Father sent His Son called Emmanuel, into this world in fleshly form. He dwelt among us. This event is the beginning of an eternal story.  In Matthew 1:23, it says, “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel” (which means “God with us”). The rest of the story is Jesus was crucified, buried, resurrected from the dead, and He will return again. Christ died for us so that we can be in a restored relationship with God the Father. Christ’s gift of everlasting life is for those who believe in Him. We will experience that eternal story!

People enjoy engaging in an interesting conversation or having a thought-provoking discussion sprinkled with differing opinions. After all, we all don't think alike and not all may agree. What happens when someone has to be right and the other person is wrong? Some may even resort to spewing disparaging remarks, name calling, and finger pointing. I know for me, I have felt very uncomfortable and find a way to bow out of that discussion.  Our words should be wholesome, edifying, and pleasing to God. Proverbs 16:24 says, "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones." (NKJV)  What are you talking about these days? Who is listening? Do you attract a wholesome, positive energy-driven audience? Or, are you succumbing to all the negativity and sinking into the abyss? I know I am guilty and must do better!!

Do you agree or disagree with this statement? When we read the Bible, a red-letter edition helps us know when Jesus is speaking. But what about when we're not reading God's word? How does God speak to us then? Is His voice a soft whisper or resounding boom? How can we be sure if it's really God speaking?  The key is following Him, not just hearing and knowing His voice. John 10:27 says, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." We should be ready to hear, know and respond to the voice of God, especially when He asks us to do something for Him. We must get to that place where we respond without reservation!

I got to stand on the grounds of ancient history with all its unexplained mysteries. I couldn't begin to comprehend it all without going back to the Bible. It was there that I was reminded of how Egypt played a critical role in the history of the children of Israel.  The children of Israel spent at least 400 years in Egypt. According to Genesis 15:12-13, Abram fell into a deep sleep and in verse 13 Scripture says, Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there."

Look at it this way, you don't have to be the expert, if you are making the disciple. God does the work and will use you.

Corey wrote his story years ago and little did he know that God would open doors for his book to be published in 2018.

Corey Thompson resides in Seattle, Washington, and attends Church by the Side of the Road in Tukwila, Washington. He has a heart for youth and has served with church youth groups and youth organizations such as Young Life. He knows the struggles of our youth today – he's been there, done that!  And, chances are he's been in some of the same places where most of our youth find themselves today.

Life and death are in His hands. He sees and knows all things.

Where then is God when we need Him most? Why does it feel like we are walking alone through difficult times? The truth is, Jesus is with us in the midst of the tumultuous storm and amid the calm of the storm. We just need a reminder of where to find God in crisis!<br /><br />We serve a mighty God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. God is everywhere. He is not bound by space or time. Life and death are in His hands. He sees and knows all things. Whether we're struggling with damaged or broken relationships, an unexpected crisis, unemployment, depression, or injustice, He hears the cries of our hearts.

I'm a little saddened around this time and struggle with how to celebrate Mother's Day.  Why? Because my mother died May 11, 2016, and the last Mother's Day we celebrated with her was May 8, 2016. My four sisters and I thanked God that we were able to honor and celebrate her one last time while she was still here on earth!  And, we especially thank Him today for the mother He gave us!  When I think about her, the passages in Proverbs 31:10-31, often called the Virtuous Womanor The Wife of Noble Character,come to mind. My mother truly was of good character; clothed with dignity and strength; spoke with wisdom; watched over the affairs of her house; and her children "Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate." She was an exceptional woman.  Join us Tuesday, May 8, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as sisters reminisce about their mother and the impact she had on their lives yesterday and today.

Today however, I can affirm His love for me because of my relationship with Him and because the Bible tells me so.   The Bible is full of verses, content, and context proclaiming applicable truths to the song “Jesus Loves Me.” This leads to the question, how should we respond to this powerful hymn? And, will we let the Bible tell us so? The truth of Christ’s love is simple to say or sing, yet difficult to believe. It takes faith --a saving faith provided by God. The term “love” evokes a relationship, intimacy, commitment, and devotion.

And you may ask, “Why is it important?” Short answer, because it starts off the Holy Season of Lent with meaning, purpose and reflection. This year 2018, Ash Wednesday is February 14 and the Lenten Season lasts through March 31. The Season lasts 40 days (not counting Sundays), representing the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness before starting His ministry. Our focus during this Season should be a time of repentance, renewal, and motivation to reach a new level of experiencing God’s grace.  Jesus said it well "Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 (NKJV).  Join us Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST,as we discuss the importance of Ash Wednesday the start of the Lenten Season, a time to reflect and grow in the wilderness and experience a higher-level of God's mercy and grace.

And you may ask, “Why is it important?” Short answer, because it starts off the Holy Season of Lent with meaning, purpose and reflection. This year 2018, Ash Wednesday is February 14 and the Lenten Season lasts through March 31. The Season lasts 40 days (not counting Sundays), representing the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness before starting His ministry. Our focus during this Season should be a time of repentance, renewal, and motivation to reach a new level of experiencing God’s grace.  Jesus said it well "Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 (NKJV).  Join us Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST,as we discuss the importance of Ash Wednesday the start of the Lenten Season, a time to reflect and grow in the wilderness and experience a higher-level of God's mercy and grace.

I would say for me maybe two to three times per day my stomach feels empty, but of course it depends on what type of meal I ate last. Years ago in the name of being proactive, I used to eat before feeling hunger pangs. Now with maturity and being more conscientious about my overall health, I've learned to eat smaller portions and leave room for a small snack later.  Have you ever felt really hungry for the Word of God and your hunger pangs are insatiable? Do we approach the Word of God as our daily bread or do we just snack every now and again? The Word should be equally important to us as the food we eat to nourish our physical bodies. Are we ready to develop a ravenous appetite for the Word of God and do what takes to embark on this journey?   Join us Tuesday, January 16, 2018, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we discuss and consider a healthy appetite for our daily bread, the very sustenance of a transformed life.

A fable, typically with animals as characters, is a short story imparting morality. A myth, most likely a traditional story, may answer life's overarching questions. Folklore/folktale, a collection of fictional tales, is generally about people or animals. A legend, purporting to be historical in nature, is a story but without substantiation.

In what category would you place the parables of the Bible, particularly those of Jesus Christ in New Testaments? Are they myth, folklore, legend, or fairy tale? The answer is "No".

A fable, typically with animals as characters, is a short story imparting morality. A myth, most likely a traditional story, may answer life's overarching questions. Folklore/folktale, a collection of fictional tales, is generally about people or animals. A legend, purporting to be historical in nature, is a story but without substantiation. And lastly, a fairy tale mostly involving fairies, giants, dragons, elves, goblins, dwarves, and other fanciful and fantastic forces, is for children and the child-like imagination.

Arise and give thanks to God for blessing us with another day!  God is the giver and sustainer of life, despite our personal challenge of “facing the giants”. Job said it best in chapter 12:10 "In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." What should we do and where should we go when life presents hurt, despair, and disappointment that causes us to feel tired, hopeless, angry, anxious, fearful and without peace?  Run to God is the answer --retreat to the Lord for such a time and let Him minister to you. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We must press on and remain steadfast, unmovable, and faithful to the One who has called us to glorify Him. And one way we can glorify God is to find contentment in the situation Providence has placed us.

I must admit however, that when I first started traveling to Northern, Southern, Southwest, Southeast and Central Asia, particularly India, China, Turkey and Thailand, I struggled with knowing I would be up against religious practices or philosophies in direct conflict with my Christian beliefs. I encountered Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, Islam, Taoism and Confucianism. Many of the tourist attractions were temples, mosques, and places where shoes had to be removed because of sacred ground.

I must admit however, that when I first started traveling to Northern, Southern, Southwest, Southeast and Central Asia, particularly India, China, Turkey and Thailand, I struggled with knowing I would be up against religious practices or philosophies in direct conflict with my Christian beliefs. I encountered Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, Islam, Taoism and Confucianism. Many of the tourist attractions were temples, mosques, and places where shoes had to be removed because of sacred ground. Women by the way had to cover their heads and shoulders and wear skirts to gain entry into mosques and temples.  When I travel to non-Christian countries, I refuse to compromise my relationship with Jesus Christ and I choose to believe that Christianity is alive and well in these places too!

Through fasting and prayer, the Holy Spirit can transform our life. God has chosen prayer and fasting as the gateway to supernatural power.  When we deny the natural for the purpose of calling upon God to do the supernatural, He will enable and empower us to experience the supernatural.  Fasting is personal and a time for us to draw closer to God, allow Him to speak, and for us to gain spiritual strength.  It is not a time for others to know, as stated in Matthew 6:17-18 says"But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face so that you may not be seen fasting by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you."   Join us Monday, February 27, at 3:30pm PST, and learn more about the reasons for fasting, different types of fasts, and suggestions and tips for fasting.

This broadcast – Tuesday, December 6th at 3:30pm PST – will focus on celebrating the Advent of a new era. There are many many Bible passages, but our focus will be on Isaiah 9:2-7, 40:1-5; Micah 5:2-3; Luke 1:5-17, 2:1-20; Matthew 1:18-25.  The weeks of Advent remind us to set aside some of the hectic busyness of the holiday season, and to reflect on the promise of the baby born in Bethlehem 2000 years ago.  Our Advent prayer is that God will prepare our hearts the way He prepared all of history to receive the gift of His Son.  We ask for God the Father to cut away the distractions and make our life a place of warmth, hope, faith, and charity.

Chance of a Lifetime, Cheryl's testimony song, attests to earlier years that were filled with turmoil and uncertainty.  However, once she found Jesus, Cheryl says, "everything began to change!"  She is now very happily married to the love of her life with two wonderful adult children.    Her album represents a "wonderful seven-year journey of intimacy with the Lord, starting with the Holy Spirit’s commission to do a “Worship CD” in 2006, and culminating in the release of “It Is YOU!” in 2013."  Over the years, Jesus has continually shown Himself faithful and very present in Cheryl’s life, and she expresses her gratitude by daily trying to walk in obedience to His wishes.  Through an intimate relationship with the Lord, Cheryl has found great healing and freedom from the effects of past hurts.  It is Cheryl’s great desire, through her music and other ministries, "that others will come to know our beautiful Savior more intimately and experience the same joy that has become such an important part of my life."    Since the release of the CD, the Lord has given Cheryl a new assignment; to write a book which she has entitled, Looking Forward to Eternity with a Great Big Grin On My Face.  Currently in the works, the book "will feature conversations that I've had with Jesus, over the years.  They display how He has and is drawing me forward, towards my destiny; spending eternity with the true Lover of all of our souls, Jesus Christ!"        ~ Najja and Zenobia, co-hosts   <br /><br /><i>Hope4Today</i> is an outreach program of <a href="https://yieldtothekingministry.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yield to the King Ministry.</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hope4today/2016/07/11/turning-hurts-into-chances-of-a-lifetime</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jul 2016 22:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63940257/turning_hurts_into_chances_of_a_lifetime.mp3" length="41447385" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Yield to the King Ministry</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Join us for a very special broadcast Monday, July 11th at 3pm.  Our guest, Cheryl Conway, is a singer and lyricist from Washington, DC.

Based on today's standards, one might question that. Couples and their children are taking a closer look at what family life is meant to be and can be.  Today, the battle for the family is evident! And, the family has become a target of humanism – the amoral, atheistic philosophy that pervades our whole culture. So the questions are, "How shall we go about protecting our home and our families? And what must we do?”  We need to know what God intended and purposed for the family. Families have to be aware of and discern the influences that saturate our daily life – all those things that are contrary to God's Word. Then, once we know, believe and accept these, we can make a deliberate decision to live by God's standards.  Our goal is to uncover the importance of the family and its role. We will discuss the number one enemy of the family. We will also examine the role of husband, wife, and children.  And, lastly, we ask that you please pray with us about how to survive the battle of the family.

Our guest will be Retired Major, Deirdre Burton.  Major Burton served her country as a member of the United States Army Reserves with a military career that covers nearly 31 years.

Our guest will be Retired Major, Deirdre Burton.  Major Burton served her country as a member of the United States Army Reserves with a military career that covers nearly 31 years. She is a veteran of the first Persian Gulf War and her military resume of service includes administrative specialist, squad leader, instructor/course manager, and currently, O.T./behavior health specialist.

Based on today's standards, one might question that. Couples and their children are taking a closer look at what family life is meant to be and can be.  Today, the battle for the family is evident! And, the family has become a target of humanism – the amoral, atheistic philosophy that pervades our whole culture. So the questions are, "How shall we go about protecting our home and our families? And what must we do?”  We need to know what God intended and purposed for the family. Families have to be aware of and discern the influences that saturate our daily life – all those things that are contrary to God's Word. Then, once we know, believe and accept these, we can make a deliberate decision to live by God's standards.  Our goal is to uncover the importance of the family and its role. We will discuss the number one enemy of the family. We will also examine the role of husband, wife, and children.  And, lastly, we ask that you please pray with us about how to survive the battle of the family.  Join us for our next Hope for Today podcast and tune in for the entire "Family Matters" series, over the next several weeks. Our hope is for you and us to live out the role of family, as God intended.

Then, once we know, believe and accept these, we can make a deliberate decision to live by God's standards.  Our goal is to uncover the importance of the family and its role. We will discuss the number one enemy of the family. We will also examine the role of husband, wife, and children.  And, lastly, we ask that you please pray with us about how to survive the battle of the family.

It is a normal part of our sleep cycle. To understand why we dream, it is important to understand a little about the sleep cycle. Sleep is how we rejuvenate and restore many of the body's functions. Sleep aids in memories, learning, moods and social behaviors, our immune and nervous systems, and growth and development.  There are two types of sleep, NREM (non-REM) and REM. Non-REM sleep is divided into three stages, which include drowsiness, light sleep, and one stage of deep sleep. REM sleep is the stage in which we dream. We go through the stages of sleep several times during the night and as the night progresses, we experience longer periods of REM sleep.  We can read and know about the hearts of dreamers in the Bible. In both the Old and New Testaments, there are many examples of dreamers and some were gifted to interpret the dreams of others.  In our everyday life, in the midst of the cares of the world do we dare to dream no matter how big or small? Joel 2:28 says “And it will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." Let us not fall into the trap of lies that keeps us from dreaming. Our dreams are worth it, especially if God gives them to us!  Join us for the next Hope for Today podcast and hear about true disappointment because of dreams deferred and rejoicing because of dreams realized. Any dream that comes from God is always based on His time and plan for us!   <br /><br /><i>Hope4Today</i> is an outreach program of <a href="https://yieldtothekingministry.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yield to the King Ministry.</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hope4today/2015/12/08/dare-to-dream</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2015 23:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63940238/dare_to_dream.mp3" length="15032865" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Yield to the King Ministry</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Dreams are natural and everyone dreams.

Physicians and scientists attribute the lull to the season. Although it can be “the most wonderful time of the year” for some, it is a fact that a “cloud of darkness” appears for others. People undergo old and fresh losses, including death, separation, and divorce, rejections, bullying, and the lack of sun in many areas in the country contributes to this “cloud of darkness.”   Forty years ago, almost to the week, Zenobia remembers the hollow stare of a woman who sat on the seat across from hers in a District of Columbia Metrorail car. The passenger’s question was, “What is love?” Her situation was someone she trusted and even loved had recently told her their relationship was over.  There are three commonly known biblical terms for love, Agape, Eros, and Phileo, all of which are Greek words. While our plan is to examine the meanings of all three in the weeks ahead, in this segment we will discuss Agape love. We will do so not only in the context of the Metrorail car passenger, but also in the context of some of our most recent events in national and international news.  Join us for the next Hope for Today podcast to learn how Agape love embraces each of these situations and so much more.   <br /><br /><i>Hope4Today</i> is an outreach program of <a href="https://yieldtothekingministry.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yield to the King Ministry.</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hope4today/2015/11/24/what-is-love</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2015 23:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63940242/what_is_love.mp3" length="14991905" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Yield to the King Ministry</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Historically, this is the time of year that many feel the valleys of gloom and even depression.
