Health Update and The Platinum Rule: The Ultimate Guide to Transforming Relationships and Interactions
Discover how treating others as they wish to be treated, guided by timeless biblical principles, can foster deeper connections, empathy, and personal growth.
What is the Platinum Rule?
The Platinum Rule suggests treating others how they want to be treated rather than just how you would like to be treated. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting the individual preferences and needs of others to create better relationships and interactions.
That is a step above what we call the Golden Rule. In the Golden Rule, you treat others as you want to be treated. That is a Biblical Principle.
What if, just for fun, we took this idea of either the Platinum or Golden Rule seriously? How would that affect our relationships? What Bible verses would teach this?

Health Update
After a recent medical examination, doctors discovered a small, 3/16 inch spot on my lungs. At this time, they have chosen to monitor the spot rather than take immediate action. In addition, I will be undergoing a biopsy for a growth in my groin that has been progressively growing. I also have a scheduled appointment to determine if a gastroenterologist deems it necessary to conduct a biopsy on a spot near my pancreas, specifically in the neck of the pancreas and gall bladder. This is the latest update on my health.
