You’re invited to join me this Sunday at 11:00 AM for Mighty Live. This is an opportunity for Mighty Caregivers to come together and join the worship service at Edge United Methodist Church, where the Mighty Caregivers Ministry lives. I will be at Walt Disney World, and I’ll join Facebook Live with you so we can watch and share this time together as a community. Stay for as long as you can. I’d love to see you there and say hello. 💙 Jeremy Edge UMC Facebook Link Here

This is an interview with a Mighty Caregiver and his experience with random acts of kindness in the community. https://www.edgeumc.com/podcast/episode/49f3d398/mighty-caregiver-patrick-lenigan

I work in a mental health inpatient residential community. Every day, I walk alongside people who are rebuilding their lives with very limited income and resources. For many of my clients, even basic necessities—like clothing—are hard to come by. Recently, I lost a significant amount of weight, and my closet quietly told a story of change. Instead of packing those clothes away or dropping them off somewhere anonymous, I brought them to work. I placed eight large bags of clothing on tables and invited my clients to look through them. What happened next was something I won’t forget. There was laughter. Smiles. Gentle teasing. People trying on jackets, holding shirts up to the mirror, asking one another, “Does this look okay?” The room felt lighter. For a moment, it wasn’t about diagnoses, treatment plans, or struggles—it was about dignity, choice, and joy. Now, when I see my clients walking through the halls wearing clothes I once wore, my heart feels full. They wear them with pride. They appreciate them. And they remind me that having clothes you feel good in isn’t a small thing—it’s deeply human. It’s about being seen, valued, and comfortable in your own skin. This experience stayed with me because it was so simple—and so powerful. Please remember: there are people in our communities who need clothes. Sometimes what no longer fits us can become a source of confidence, comfort, and happiness for someone else. And sometimes, sharing in that way changes us just as much as it helps them.

I am a HUGE Billy Joel fan. I was so happy to see his surprise return after revealing a brain disorder. My wife and I have been to many concerts and his flow of care is his ability to share his music on stage. Also, some say I am Billy’s Doppleganger.

After 40 years as a nurse, I help people in their golden years create simple income in retirement, so debt and money stress don’t take away from family, caregiving, or legacy. I am now officially retired as of 12/31/25 11:59. This weekend will be the first that I will not be working.
