If you tend to enjoy when I share my poems on here, would you like to receive an occasional email with a selection of my poems? I'm working on getting a collection published, and am still submitting to journals etc, but I'd like to share my work in the meantime with some readers.

My wife interviewed parents whose adult children all remained Catholic. One commonality was a father who was firm in discipline, gentle with the kids, played with them, and prayed with them.
In other words, if you imitate the Father, your kids have a better shot at knowing Him

It seems to me that every great movement of spiritual revival in the Church of England - the Caroline Divines, Methodism, the Evangelical movement, the Tractarians - has had a major emphasis on the consciousness of individual sin & the urgency of personal repentance & holiness

In group chats with DC professional people the only Tapback they ever use is “!!” because it’s the most ambiguous and offers the most plausible deniability. I feel like the past 5 years I’ve spent in this city can be summarized with this observation.

I think Bridget (4th grade) should submit this to Rome to replace the current prayer.

4. If a man is generally happy in a non-childish way, and is non-childish in general, and seems to love his family and be able to be useful to them. If he's the one many people rely on for practical help or wisdom, this is very appealing.

The deconstruction of love cannot be completed as that is divinely instituted. Thought, however, is being unmade at pace.

”For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
going thru diaries from when i was struggling with my Christian faith. It seems even from a very young age, I was confused that Jesus's sacrifice was supposed to be such a big deal. I find multiple entries across the years with variations on "Obviously any of us would do that for someone we loved, it kinda seems like Jesus just hitting the bare minimum"

rebaptizing someone who was already baptized in a Nicene Church is a rebuke of God and a stunning look at your own corrupt faith
The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has officially mandated the rebaptism of Ukrainian Orthodox Christians and banned them the use of the Ukrainian language in divine services.
On October 22, the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church approved a document titled "Guidelines for the Reception of Individuals from Ukrainian Schismatic Structures Wishing to Join the Russian Orthodox Church." It applies to people in Russian-occupied territories who were previously affiliated with the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC), the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP), or the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).
The document outlines three procedures for joining the ROC. Notably, it stipulates that individuals baptized within the OCU, UOC-KP, or UAOC must undergo the Sacrament of Baptism again to join the ROC. Different rules apply to those originally baptized within the ROC, the Roman Catholic Church, or a Protestant denomination.
Regarding the accession of entire congregations to the ROC, the document states that such a community may not demand a distinct liturgical order or a special administrative status. Furthermore, the use of any language other than Church Slavonic in divine services is prohibited—even though the ROC elsewhere permits the use of various other languages, ranging from English to Japanese.

“Good Morning Gentlemen…”
Sad to hear of the passing of Tom Skerritt famous for being ‘Viper’ and so many other great roles. Some may not know that he was actually an Air Force veteran himself and whilst he was never a flyer, his brother flew P-51’s in WW2. Sad he never made it to any of the sequels. Maybe a mention or nod to him would be appropriate if they ever do another.
