In many circles of modern Christianity, there is a prevailing sentiment that God is essentially “on call,” always attending to the immediate needs and welfare of the believer as if He owes them or as if, through His love, He is expected to provide constant earthly comfort. Believers today often expect instant miracles or immediate answers to prayer because they figure that since they are…
It’s a kind of
love, isn’t it?
To commit to enduring.
Despite, despite.
—Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, ‘Kaōnōn’

When we rightly divide the Word of Truth, we discover the liberating difference between the conditional forgiveness taught under the Gospel of the Kingdom and the unconditional, finished forgiveness given to us under Grace. In Matthew 18:21–35, Jesus tells the parable of the unforgiving servant: a man forgiven of an impossible debt of 10,000 talents, yet unwilling to release his fellow servant…
In Acts 21, Paul joined in a purification rite at the Temple—not because he needed it for salvation, but to show respect and accommodation toward his fellow Jews who were zealous for the Law. He did this to quiet rumors and to build bridges, while never compromising the truth of the gospel of grace.
Paul’s act reminds us that accommodation is not compromise. He remained steadfast in the doctrine…
It was cold!
I know it’s not a good idea to start with the weather, but that was a heavy influence on how the week went. Temps were primarily in maybe the 20’s, but dropped into single digits a few times. The reason is the wind coming down from the arctic, which is making my face and new scar hurting. We had some flurries to start 2026, but that happened after my son and I got home. Still,…
Of course it would end in a stalemate.
Two entities made up of brute force. Beings of pure offence. Fed by violence and baptized in blood.
She outmatched him in strength, but he outmatched her in stamina. He could take a beating like none other. The type to lay beaten and bloody and still talk smack.
He could never overpower her. But perhaps he could tire her out?
With one eye swollen shut and a trickle of blood leaking out from the corner of his lop sided smile, he gazed up at her.
A determination in his tone of voice even while in a state that would demoralize most men.
“Never.”

On keeping the peace in the family:
,,At any cause for anger, for quarrel, say only this: “Leave it, I will tell him tomorrow what I have to say. But until tomorrow I will endure for God! And tomorrow, if he is calm, we will discuss it, I will tell him where he was wrong and who is right.”
-Fr. Proclu Nicău
In a remarkable display of tenacity and skill, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant maintained an impressive average of 38.6 minutes per game during his 17th season in the NBA. Despite facing age-related declines in athleticism and the toll of injuries, Bryant’s indomitable will was evident as he chased the elusive sixth Larry O’Brien trophy, often demonstrating strategic acumen honed over years…

Gold In 2025: A New Period Of Structural Energy And Enduring Attraction
Whatever you choose, you do not choose.
Human unconscious decision making says something devastatingly clear and almost tender about us. We live in a world built by nervous systems not by souls.
If choices arise from embodied regulatory machinery, then the world we’ve produced, its cities, wars, religions, advertisements, art is the externalized anatomy of ours nervous systems. Civilization is a nervous system turned inside out.
Our world mirrors the logic of survival, not wisdom.
Nervous systems evolved to maintain homeostasis and secure resources, not to seek truth. Hence, most human institutions operate like giant metabolic organs extracting, storing, defending. Politics, markets, and social media all exploit the same feedback loop: stimulus, arousal, gratification, repetition. The planet now looks like a hypertrophied limbic system chasing sugar.
The moral and rational layers are aftershocks.
Once the body acts, language comes in to justify it. That’s why ideologies sound coherent but serve primitive drives. Every moral crusade is a metabolic behavior wearing philosophical perfume. The nervous system wants regulation through safety, belonging, stimulation and will invent entire belief systems to rationalize how it pursues them.
Culture as collective misrecognition.
When billions of people interact, each believing it is acting consciously, they generate massive, self-reinforcing illusions. The market, religion, and social identity all depend on this misrecognition, on mistaking reactive impulse for intentional will. The more complex our languages and technologies, the more elaborate our rationalizations become.
Evolutionary mismatch.
Nervous systems adapted for scarcity and immediate threat are now navigating abundance and abstract digital environments. The body is still optimized for “grab it before it’s gone,” but now the cookie jar is infinite. So the system that once ensured survival now produces addiction, anxiety, and ecological collapse.
The tragedy is not that people are evil but that their biology runs an ancient script on a modern stage. The comedy is that we still call it “choice.”
Humanity is not immoral. It is outdated hardware mistaking its reflexes for philosophy. The task is not to moralize the species, but to upgrade its self-understanding, to teach the nervous system to recognize itself in the mirror it own world for the wisest choices.
“Only for a moment”
Loops day after day
In the back of the mind
When the flood waters rise
And wrap around my throat
–
It’s a soothing balm
For a weary plain
Of thistle and thorn
Where stray winds catch fire
–
“This too shall pass”
Only strengthens its bind
Around my dulled, dying heart
As light flows into shade
–
“Only for a moment”
Feigns dead in my shadow
Until I wade back…
MONTREAL — Ken Dryden stood six-foot-four but cast a much larger shadow. He was a titan of sport and a goliath in life — the only six-time Stanley Cup winner to backstop Canada to some of its greatest wins on the ice before serving Parliament off it.
Dryden, the great goaltender of the dynastic Montreal Canadiens of the 1970s, died Friday of cancer at age 78.
But the iconic image of him standing…
Ken Dryden’s mammoth presence on and off the ice leaves an enduring legacy
“The Vineyard is such a sacred place,” shares Àwet Woldegebriel, the founder of his eponymous New York fashion label. Like the many creatives who call the island home, Woldegebriel has been returning each summer for nearly a decade, rarely spending more than a few months away. For many of its residents, that pull is similarly visceral. In his memoir I Regret Almost Everythingcelebrated…
