It's hard to believe, but Christmas is just around the corner. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be taking intentional time to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. This is the Advent season—advent meaning “coming” or “arrival.” It's a time set apart to ready ourselves to celebrate the birth of our Savior.For the next two weeks, we'll be exploring the Advent themes of Hope and Peace—two gifts Jesus came to bring. But when we look at the world around us, with all its hurt and despair, it's easy to feel our hope slipping. So how do we look to Jesus, our ultimate source of hope? Pastor Jeff Moes shares three truths about God's unfailing hope.--WebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistConnect with us!How can we prayer for you? Let us know.

Pastor Aaron continues our Arrival series by exploring the heart of Advent — love. Advent means arrival, and in this message we're reminded that God didn't just send love… God IS love. Through 1 John 4, we see how God's love was fully revealed in Jesus, and how that love is meant to shape how we live, believe, and treat others.
So many lessons we can learn from Paul in the worst of situations. Trust God completely, be confident in His call, exercise spiritual discernment, be courageous and be willing to submit to sacrificial obedience in the face of adversity. By Dave Bartlett
With Pastor Lorenzo DellaForesta
Andalites have finally arrived on Earth. The Animorphs and Ax now have allies willing to fight against the Yeerk invasion. But there are only four Andalites. Not nearly enough to defeat thousands of Yeerks. Not enough to stop more humans from being infected. So, everyone agrees that the battle must continue. But the Andalites don't want to fight alongside humans. They feel their skills will be less than adequate. And they demand that Ax choose a side. Will Ax stay with his friends ... or stand with his people? -- Audiomorphs is an Animorphs podcast which is actually not so much a podcast as a bootleg Animorphs audiobook. Releases every Friday.

The Messiah is an important person. “Messiah” is the same word as “Christ,” which means, “Anointed One.” He is someone who has been anticipated for a long time. Now we look at a time when his arrival is imminent! The historic Christian Church gave Latin titles to each Sunday. They titled the Third Sunday in Advent “Gaudete,” which means “Rejoice!” As we reach the midway point of Advent, we ask Christ to empower us to do just that. We rejoice because God fulfills all his promises in Jesus.

Join us this 3rd week of Advent as we look at the arrival of Christ and God promise being tested, fulfilled and bringing peace.
It can be hard to know exactly how to respond to the birth of Jesus Christ. In Luke 1:39-45, we have the unique opportunity to see Elizabeth's response to the presence of Jesus in the womb. The text tells us that she is "filled with the Holy Spirit" as she announces the great blessing of Jesus' presence. Considering her words, we learn three Spirit-filled responses to Jesus' arrival as a baby.

The birth of Jesus is unlike any other birth ever experienced in the history of man. And yet every Christmas, we pass over this very fact - that Jesus was different. Join us today as we continue our series in Matthew and head towards Christmas. God bless. Passage: Matthew 1:18-25

The Comic Crusaders Podcast is back with another incredible guest! Host Al Mega sits down with writer and comic book creator C. Edward Sellner, known for powerful works like The Knight, Deadlands: Raven, and Deadlands: The Kid. In this exclusive interview, we dive deep into his brand-new Kickstarter project: Monarch of Manhattan Vol. 1: Arrival. Sellner shares his journey from comic fan to professional writer, breaking down how he transitioned from enjoying stories to creating them. From his early influences to the lessons he learned on Deadlands, Sellner has carved out a unique voice in the indie comic scene. The spotlight is on Sellner's latest creation, Monarch of Manhattan Vol. 1: Arrival. Described as a modern pulp fantasy mixed with a buddy-hero adventure, this series brings together myth, magic, and Manhattan. The story balances epic battles with grounded character struggles, creating a new kind of superheroic experience. Set in New York City, the comic captures the energy of Manhattan while weaving in timeless pulp inspirations. The buddy dynamic between the Monarch and his partner creates humor, heart, and high-stakes storytelling that fans won't want to miss. Sellner explains why Kickstarter was the right choice to launch Monarch of Manhattan. Backers get the chance to be part of the creative process and support indie storytelling at its best. From exclusive rewards to direct fan engagement, this campaign is about building community as much as it is about funding a comic. In this interview, fans will learn: How Monarch of Manhattan compares to The Knight and Deadlands The biggest creative challenges Sellner faced while writing this story Behind-the-scenes insights into his collaboration with the art team What themes and emotions readers can expect when they close the final page of Vol. 1 If you love modern pulp fantasy comics, superhero buddy tales, or indie Kickstarter projects, you need to check out Monarch of Manhattan Vol. 1: Arrival.
We talk the government's strong reaction to South Korea's newly launched e-Arrival card system; Tsai Ing-wen talking the need for a solar power policy 2.0, government agencies justifying a decision to block Chinese social media app, Xiaohongshu for a year and more. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
This is Dr. Mary Travelbest, and we'll be talking about Niagara Falls, Canada. See Book A for guidance on saving money on airline tickets and more. Destination Deep‑Dive Today's destination is: "A Day at Niagara Falls – Solo, Soaked & Spectacular" Today, we're diving into the thundering wonder that is Niagara Falls, from a solo female traveler's lens — and yes, I got a little wet. On the Road to the Falls I took the FlixBus from Toronto to Niagara Falls. The ride is scenic and comfortable, even with a bit of drama—my Toronto Metro train broke down this morning. I had to get off and wait for a new train, adding 10 minutes of stress, but I made it to Union Station with 10 minutes to spare. Assigned seats on the FlixBus? Yes, but only six of us are aboard. Arrival and First Impressions Niagara Falls is hot, humid, and packed with tourists, but the moment you see those Horseshoe Falls, it's all worth it. There are three waterfalls here: Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil, but the Canadian side is definitely the star. I hopped on the Canadian version of the Maid of the Mist—you'll get soaked, especially your socks and sneakers like mine were. But you'll also get rainbows, misty selfies, and memories that stick. A little side note: I had a sore little toe, so I MacGyvered it with a Band-Aid and masking tape. That's solo travel resilience! Good impression: the Queen's Palace and a delicious ice cream. Free water refills and restrooms here. Nearby, there is a Hidden Park called "The Secret Garden". Spend your extra time here and relax in the grassy areas. The hotel section of the falls left a good impression: A walking tour of the hotels and touristy sights resembled the strip in a touristy trap like Las Vegas. The Hard Rock Cafe. The Sheraton, Rainbow Forest, and games for kids. I would not want to stay here by choice. There is a free bus that takes you to and from the parking lot where the Flix Bus and other buses congregate. There is some walking, though. If you are not up for that, you will want to stay closer to town. It's flat. There are no hills here to speak of. There are a lot of seniors, so expect to have special needs taken care of upon arrival. But it never hurts to ask in advance. Sights to Soak In Here's what I recommend for women over 50 visiting Niagara Falls without a car: Niagara SkyWheel – An enclosed Ferris wheel with views from above. Great if you want the drama without the wet socks. https://www.cliftonhill.com/attractions/niagara-skywheel https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit/attractions/journey-behind-the-falls/ https://www.niagarafallstourism.com/play/outdoor-recreation/niagara-parks-botanical-gardens/ https://www.niagarafallstourism.com/play/outdoor-recreation/dufferin-islands/ https://www.niagaraonthelake.com/ Journey Behind the Falls – Walk through tunnels to observation decks behind the roaring water. Just bring a poncho. I thoroughly enjoyed that, so go there first. Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory – Peaceful, flower-filled, and shaded—ideal for avoiding tourist fatigue. These were closed early, so I did not get to experience them, except from the outside. Dufferin Islands – A quiet nature escape just a short walk from the main attraction. Niagara-on-the-Lake – A 20-minute shuttle or bus ride gets you to this charming town with wineries, boutiques, and calm waters. Do it if you want a "reset" after the tourist crush.

Not So Fast. https://www.niagarafallslive.com/rainbow_bridge.htm 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news
Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1930 film Sarah and Son. I'm joined by Matthew Carlson from the What Am I Making newsletter and we talk about whether the film would even survive today if not for Chatterton's Academy Award nomination for her performance as Sarah, compare lost films to what it would be like if our music catalog was missing dozens of Elvis or Beatles recordings, and learn about interesting familial connections and an actress who was a bit of a daredevil in her spare time. You can watch Sarah and Son online for yourself and be sure to check out Matt's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:Anna Christie directed by Clarence Leon Brown"The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station" directed by the Lumière BrothersThe Devil's Holiday directed by Edmund GouldingAll Quiet on the Western Front directed by Lewis MilestoneGone With the Wind directed by Victor FlemingMetropolis directed by Fritz LangDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) directed by Rouben MamoulianThe Best Years of Our Lives directed by William WylerInherit the Wind directed by Stanley KramerDeath of a Salesman directed by László BenedekThe Fighting Lady directed by Edward SteichenRaising Arizona directed by Joel CoenThe Divorcee directed by Robert Z.

Effective 1 October 2025, India has introduced the e-Arrival Card, a digital replacement for the Disembarkation Card. All foreign travellers, including Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card holders, are required to complete this form online up to 72 hours before arriving in India through the official Indian visa website or the Su-Swagatam mobile app. Speaking with SBS Hindi, travel agent Tanvi Goel explains the aim of the new system, outlines the submission process, and addresses common areas of confusion for travellers.
Today’s Bible Verse: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding itwith justice and righteousness from that time on and forever" - Isaiah 9:6–7 (NIV) Hope feels different when you remember who Jesus actually is. Isaiah’s prophecy names Him in ways our weary hearts often forget: the Wonderful Counselor who brings wisdom when life feels tangled, the Mighty God who carries what we can’t, the Everlasting Father who never abandons, and the Prince of Peace who calms the chaos within and around us.

What if everything you know about reality, intelligence, science, aliens, and even your own body…is wrong? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Stephen Wolfram — the legendary computer scientist, theoretical physicist, mathematician, founder of Wolfram Research — reveals how the groundbreaking technologies he created are re-shaping our understanding of the universe itself. We dive into the limits of science, the secrets of biological evolution, and why computational irreducibility may explain why some mysteries of nature can never be predicted, only experienced. Dr. Wolfram breaks down whether his computations suggest humanity is cosmically significant…or completely insignificant in a universe built from the same atoms repeating the same rules everywhere. Discover why the objective reality you experience as a human might be totally different for other species, and why this could be the key to understanding alien intelligence, extrasensory perception, and why there might be alien minds all around us right now that we simply can't perceive. Dr. Stephen Wolfram also breaks down: - Does the body have its own language? (And, if so, what autoimmune disease might be “saying") - What can truly be built from random mutation, and why evolution even works at all - How reductionist science is limiting medicine, and how living matter actually behaves - Why AI may function as an alien mind, and what that reveals about the shocking simplicity of human language - What makes the human mind special, how we evolved this way, and why that very fact proves we are not the most advanced species possible - Do computers use a form of telepathy to communicate with one another? He even takes us behind the scenes of his work as a consultant on the hit film ARRIVAL, explaining how alien logograms connect to his research on how language shapes human thought, what abstract concepts a bigger brain could comprehend, and what kinds of ideas we might be biologically incapable of imagining. If you're fascinated by astrophysics, AI, consciousness, aliens, evolution, mathematics, language, or the limits of human understanding, this episode of MBB will challenge everything you think you know!

VYS0054 | You Can't Make An Omelette Without Breaking A Few Egregores - Vayse to Face with Joshua Cutchin - show notes Having released 53 episodes of Vayse without interviewing Joshua Cutchin is nothing short of an embarrassment - and one that Hine and Buckley are keen to make up for. Joshua is a writer, a researcher and a musician, having written modern classics of weird non-fiction including A Trojan Feast, Ecology of Souls and most recently the mind-bending, mind-expanding and mind-blowing masterpiece, Fourth Wall Phantoms. Like hungry Sasquatches devouring a Roc egg, Hine and Buckley are in a feeding frenzy, ravenous for Joshua's thoughts, ideas and insights. The particularly wandering conversation goes all the way from real-life encounters with fictional characters to the fabric of reality itself and the possibility that our beliefs are what holds it together... and, naturally, Hine and Buckley take the opportunity to introduce Joshua to the Peanut King...

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 28,190 on turnover of 3.8-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Tuesday as it followed most other regional markets and closed lower after Wall Street sank overnight as investors await the outcome of Wednesday's meeting of the U-S Federal Reserve and expectations of more interest rate cuts. MOFA protests South Korea listing it as part of China The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is continuing to urge South Korea to amend its electronic entry card system that lists Taiwan as part of China. The ministry says it has yet to receive a direct response from Seoul on the matter after highlighting (突出顯示) the error in its newly launched e-Arrival card system earlier this month. Department of East Asian and Pacific Affairs Director-General Liu Kun-hao is expressing the need for a correction - saying revising the island's designation underscores the importance of longstanding economic, cultural, and tourism exchanges between the two sides. Liu says there are serious concerns about the improper designation and the government is reviewing its overall relationship with South Korea - noting a large and long-standing trade deficit that highlights what he's describing as an unequal relationship. Taiwan raises long-term care tax deduction to NT$180,000 Lawmakers have approved an amendment that will raise the annual long-term care deduction to 180,000 N-T. The deduction previously stood at 120,000 N-T and the amendment to Article 17 of the Income Tax Act is aimed at easing (減輕) the financial burden of households supporting a dependent who requires long-term care. The change will apply retroactively from January 1 of this year and start to take effect in tax filings in May of 2026. Under Article 17 of the Income Tax Act, taxpayers may claim the deduction to taxable income for themselves, their spouses, or dependents officially recognized by the Ministry of Health as requiring long-term care due to physical or cognitive impairment. Zelenskyy refuses to cede land to Russia as he rallies European support Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country will not cede (放棄) territory to Russia. AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports < Canada Ambassador to US Resigning Next Year Canada's ambassador to the U.S. for the last six years says she's resigning next year as the two major trading partners review the free trade agreement. Ambassador Kirsten Hillman said Tuesday it is the right time to put in place someone who will see a review of the free trade agreement through to conclusion. Canada's free trade deal with the U.S. is up for review in 2026. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Hillman “prepared (準備) the foundations for Canada in the upcoming review" of the agreement. Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed Hillman in 2017. She was the first woman appointed (任命) to the role. Hillman helped lead the trade negotiations during U.S. President Donald Trump's first term and worked with U.S. and Chinese officials to win the release of two Canadians detained in China.

What if everything you know about reality, intelligence, science, aliens, and even your own body…is wrong? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Stephen Wolfram — the legendary computer scientist, theoretical physicist, mathematician, founder of Wolfram Research — reveals how the groundbreaking technologies he created are re-shaping our understanding of the universe itself. We dive into the limits of science, the secrets of biological evolution, and why computational irreducibility may explain why some mysteries of nature can never be predicted, only experienced. Dr. Wolfram breaks down whether his computations suggest humanity is cosmically significant…or completely insignificant in a universe built from the same atoms repeating the same rules everywhere. Discover why the objective reality you experience as a human might be totally different for other species, and why this could be the key to understanding alien intelligence, extrasensory perception, and why there might be alien minds all around us right now that we simply can't perceive. Dr. Stephen Wolfram also breaks down: - Does the body have its own language? (And, if so, what autoimmune disease might be “saying") - What can truly be built from random mutation, and why evolution even works at all - How reductionist science is limiting medicine, and how living matter actually behaves - Why AI may function as an alien mind, and what that reveals about the shocking simplicity of human language - What makes the human mind special, how we evolved this way, and why that very fact proves we are not the most advanced species possible - Do computers use a form of telepathy to communicate with one another? He even takes us behind the scenes of his work as a consultant on the hit film ARRIVAL, explaining how alien logograms connect to his research on how language shapes human thought, what abstract concepts a bigger brain could comprehend, and what kinds of ideas we might be biologically incapable of imagining. If you're fascinated by astrophysics, AI, consciousness, aliens, evolution, mathematics, language, or the limits of human understanding, this episode of MBB will challenge everything you think you know!

Devil's Advocates: Robert Stryk, Rudy Giuliani, and the Business of Influence: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel discusses how in the power vacuum created by Donald Trump's arrival in Washington, unconventional lobbyists like Robert Stryk rose to prominence by marketing access to the new administration; Stryk, described as an "anti-hero" with a checkered business past, hosted a lavish event at the Hay-Adams Hotel to legitimize the regime of Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, successfully delivering Rudy Giuliani as Trump's personal attorney, signaling a new informal channel for foreign diplomacy and highlighting how foreign regimes utilized large sums of money and unconventional intermediaries to seek favor. 1941

1 Chronicles 17:1-15 What does a promise to King David have to do with Christmas? In this passage we see God promise King David that his throne will endure forever. Dr. Alan McElroy
Ribbentrop in London: Gaffes and Alienation: Colleague Charles Spicer describes Ribbentrop's arrival in London as Ambassador with a cynical mandate from Hitler to neutralize Britain diplomatically, characterizing his tenure as a social disaster marked by gaffes such as giving the Nazi salute to the King; his wife Anneliese is depicted as thin-skinned and unable to handle the British press's mockery, while Sir Neville Henderson, the British Ambassador to Berlin, whose desire to accommodate Hitler was exacerbated by his secret battle with terminal cancer, influenced disastrous appeasement policies. 1933

Advent reveals that love and vulnerability are inseparable, for God entered the world not in power but in the fragile form of a baby laid in a manger. The incarnation isn't distant theology—it is God with us, meeting us in our fear, grief, and limitations with a love strong enough to overcome darkness. True courage mirrors the infant Christ: a willingness to embrace uncertainty, rely on help when we are helpless, and love even when it hurts. In a world afraid of weakness, Advent invites us to begin again with vulnerability, interdependence, and the radical truth that the Father's love is strong enough to save. --- Scripture: Matthew 2:17-24 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: 18 “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”[a] The Return to Nazareth 19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead.” 21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.
Jesus doesn't just bring peace — He is peace. True peace is not the absence of problems; it is the presence of Christ in them.Recognize why peace feels so elusive,Understand Jesus as the source of true biblical peace, andExperience peace in tangible ways through surrender and trust.
CURRENT SERIES - Arrival: A Journey Through the Season of Expectation This Advent, we invite you to pause, reflect, and prepare your heart for the coming of Christ through our series Arrival. In a world marked by uncertainty, division, and constant noise, we yearn for signs that God is still breaking through—still showing up in unexpected ways to make good on ancient promises. Arrival explores the profound truth that God doesn't wait for perfect conditions to enter our lives. Hope arrives in seasons of waiting. Peace arrives amid chaos. Joy arrives independent of our circumstances. Love arrives in the most inhospitable places. And Light arrives to dispel every darkness. Over four weeks, we'll journey through the themes of Advent with fresh eyes, discovering that Christ's arrival isn't just a historical event we commemorate—it's an ongoing reality we can experience today.
This year at Advent, we're looking at the arrival of what the theologians call the munis triplex -- the long awaited, highly anticipated, eagerly longed for prophet, priest and King.In this season. I want for you to see that Jesus, the prophet, priest, and king, makes the whole of scripture and life clear. He is what you've been waiting for and didn't even know you're waiting for. Core to discipleship to Jesus is to begin to see Him not just as 6 pound, nine ounce baby Jesus in the manger. But for you to see him as the Prophet who reveals, the priest who reconciles, and the king who reigns.
