“God is a God of galaxies, of storms, of roaring seas and boiling thunder, but He is also the God of bread baking, of a child's smile, of dust motes in the sun. He is who He is, and always shall be. Look around you now. He is speaking always and everywhere.”
As this has been asked many times, I made an inquiry. The book that never departed Charles’ hands while pushing back the mobs…THE MEMOIRS of
LADY HYEGYÕNG THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL WRITINGS OF A CROWN PRINCESS OF EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY KOREA.
“For Christians, this is a time to rejoice in the fact that there has never been a time when it is clear to everybody that man is not in control, and so it is time to turn to the God who is.”

"My father was born October 6, 1927, and he entered into glory last night, May 25, 2022. As we remember his life and legacy in the days to come, I will obviously have more to say, but I wanted to register one central thing at the outset."

“In the end, though, I didn’t become a Christian because I could argue myself into it. I became a Christian because I knew, suddenly, that it was true.”
After years of defiant atheism, Paul Kingsnorth went searching for “a truth I would surrender to.”
The once proud nonbeliever tells The Free Press how he found Buddhism, witchcraft, and—eventually, much to his surprise—settled on Orthodox Christianity.
If they ever draft women, CREC members can claim a religious exemption. Do other denoms have this in place?

My daughter called me this morning to ask what her grandfather said because her feed is filled with the most random memes. I explained. It didn’t help.
15/16 As for how the respondents dress, 100% wear pants. The majority also wear makeup, while head coverings during worship are fairly rare—but not unheard of.
“Drink your wine. Laugh from your gut. Burden your moments with thankfulness. Be as empty as you can be when that clock winds down. Spend your life. And if time is a river, may you leave a wake.”

Almost took the wrong coffee at Starbucks this evening at Salt Lake City airport until I read the name, Kevin. I put it back down. Kevin picked it up. Kevin Costner.

My cousin’s daughter sent this video yesterday of her group singing in the bomb shelter. These are the words, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God...”
I do so love jumping on planes and trains and loving all the summer travel shots but also thankful for my current spot on this globe and having my kids all home for the summer. The past few days have been most rich.

Nate's Brain Tumor Update: My MRI showed no increase in tumor mass over the last 4 months. What remains of the tumor post-surgery is "absolutely stable" and no action is required at all. Next MRI in 12 months. Thank you for your prayers. So very grateful.

Pastor Doug Wilson (

Just got listening to the entire interview with Tucker. Highly recommended checking it out.

If you are going to successfully Apocalypse Proof your family,
education is something you must think through.
How does the whole ghastly ‘I’m married to Mary-Lou, we’ve got 12 beautiful kids, live in a really cute Christian college town and I’m ready with my guns to fend off the state, and with my chain saw to further subjugate nature’ thing exactly square with any of the Bible?!

“We are the last embers of a once great fire. We must survive, not as animals, content to eat and breath and sleep, but as light, as sparks. We will all die, but when we do, let us die setting other souls alight.” 1/2
