āCan the singer enter into his tale or the designer into his picture?ā What a beautiful way to ask about the concept of God drawn near, not just as a baby born in Bethlehem, but also as One who brought healing in his time and in ours. Thanks for this

Corporate media executives are selling out the First Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians. This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture ā the kind that comes from the top. The real fight in this country is not left vs right; itās top vs bottom.

āFor some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. 1/

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit. If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Gandalf, in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: I don't know. Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small things; everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay... simple acts of kindness, and love.
