Monique Parks - Rome Experience Read More......Read Less Expectations vs. Reality of the Trip Initial expectations were based on idealized images of Italy, like those seen in Italian restaurants, with streams, boats, and picturesque scenes. The reality was different, with descriptions of the city as "dirty." Encounters with Missionaries and Refugees Visited missionaries and people he's been working with in Lebanon. Heard testimonies of people who went through hardships to find safety. Muslims had to hide their Christian faith to avoid being killed. "They had to hang on to bottoms of trucks, and somewhere safe, because if people knew that they were Christians, even if it was their own thing, we would have killed them" The experience made her feel inadequate in her own service to the Lord. "It made me feel this small, you know, because I don't do nearly enough for the Lord" Observations in Vatican City Felt a sense of unease in Vatican City. Felt that most people were "going to hell." Observed sadness, anger, and rudeness in the people encountered. "They all looked so sad. Sad or mad or just rude. They were very rude." Attributed this to a lack of faith in the Lord. "That's what you have when you don't have the Lord." Impactful Testimonies Hearing testimonies was the most impactful part of the trip. Met a man from the "Afghan house" who had been taking care of himself since age nine. He has been his main provider since he was nine years old. Reflected on how his own children could not handle such responsibility. "I can't imagine my kids even being 10 and 11 taking care of themselves" Realized her own selfishness and need to help others more. Commitment to Spreading the Word Determined to share her faith despite potential criticism. "I'm trying to get the word out there. No matter if people think I'm crazy or look at me funny, talk about me, whatever. There's worse things." Motivated by the belief that people are "facing hell." Discomfort with Public Transportation Experienced discomfort with public transportation due to being an introvert. "Anybody that knows me well, I'm not much of an outgoing person or a hickly person." Hoped that their positive attitude on public transport might have positively impacted others. "Just smiling and laughing and just trying to make the best of certain situations that hopefully that was a lie to somebody." Concerns for Victor's Ministry Expressed concern for Victor's ministry in Italy due to language barriers. "He doesn't know fluently Italian" Asked for prayers for Victor to learn Italian and effectively teach about the Lord. "Pray for him that he can learn what he needs to learn, but teach them about the Lord in, you know, whatever way that he can." Acknowledged the loneliness and barriers Victor faces. "Just being around people who had no idea what you were there for and seeing you walking down the street and just look at you funny" Observations on Local Churches Visited churches with small congregations of believers. "Maybe 40 of them all together that are trying to make it happen." Noted that many locals do not believe in the Lord and worship Mary and the saints. "They worship Mary and they worship, you know, the saints and things like that." Expressed hope for the churches to help the people. Reflection on Personal Responsibility Realized the need to be more active in sharing faith, especially compared to those in challenging situations. "We live in the Bible Belt. We don't even come out of our house to say anything to anybody." Recognized her own insignificance and limited thinking. "That showed me just how small I am on the spectrum and how little that I think." Pastor Tommy Read More......Read Less Rome Trip Overview

In this episode of Platemark, Ann talks with Susan Dackerman, a curator and art historian specializing in Northern European print culture. They discuss Susan's recent book, Dürer's Knots: Early European Print and the Islamic East, which looks at the artist's relationship to the Islamic world, revealing groundbreaking insights about the intersection of early modern printmaking and contemporary history. Susan's book covers three of Dürer's prints or print series. The first section looks at The Sea Monster (Das Meerwunder), c. 1498, and postulates that it chronicles the return to Venice of Caterina Cornado following her forced abdication as the last queen of Cyprus in 1489. Susan pieces together the narrative, which often claims to be about the abduction of a woman on the fins of Neptune. The second section looks at a series of six woodcuts Dürer made to mimic the designs of silver inlay found in Mamluk brass bowls. Susan has an intriguing theory about the Knots's connection to a set of engravings by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. The final section looks at the iron etching Landscape with a Cannon, 1518, and answers the question why make this image as an etching rather than an engraving. The book challenges traditional narratives and recasts Dürer's prints that reference the Islamic East as much more nuanced and reflective of contemporaneous history. Susan's book is clear, concise, and thoughtful, and well worth the read.

‘The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.' — Attributed to George Bernard Shaw “Isn't it time to stop holding people accountable?” You are a leader. You take on a role called owner, executive, or manager. Or you are part of a team. You are trying to get things done. And you have laggards among you. What is the common response"? Hold them accountable! This is a logical next step. Measures of performance. And if you aren't measuring up, bad things happen. You have been there. It starts with a conversation. Then when that doesn't work, talk with HR. Maybe they can help. After all, in this culture of litigation, it doesn't hurt to document. And you find yourself and your company accelerating down the path of correction. After all, you need to “hold them accountable”. A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) may follow. And it screams to the employee and to their peers, that you have now been given a path to exit, not a path to value. Someone has to pay for this lack of accountability. And this is where a Great Conversation with Aaron Schmookler, the founder of The Yes Works, creates the foundation for a new idea. Aaron has a company that promises to unleash your people from this death spiral. It seeks to provide agency to the worker and to the business. And the agency starts with the gift of clarity. Owners and leaders: Are you clear what your mission is? Have you articulated that to your people? Do they know how they contribute to your definition of success? Do they know what the reward for that success is? Do they understand it, want it, and have the skills / capacity to achieve it? If so, then they are personally accountable to themselves! As Aaron might say: “The greatest kindness one can give another is agency over the consequences of their actions.” When we err, it is a learning. When learning is applied, we grow. When we grow, we have taken a step on a path to value. This demands a great conversation with your leadership team. It just might be the beginning of a reformation in how you identify, onboard, and mentor your people until they are unstoppable.

The Attributes of God Applied to Christ
“Only one thing made me want to live a little longer, to see you a Christian before I die”. (Attributed to St. Monica, Mother of St. Augustine). If your child whom you prayed for for decades continued to live a life of sin, would you still have the faith to believe for their conversion? We know that through St. Monica's faith, God made a great saint out of her son, Augustine! If you are a parent of a child who has fallen away from the Church, or you're the prodigal yourself, this episode of the #BecomeFire Podcast is for you.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.”~Marcel Pagnol (1895-1974), French novelist, playwright, and filmmaker “Whatever controls us is our lord. The person who seeks power is controlled by power. The person who seeks acceptance is controlled by the people he or she wants to please. We do not control ourselves. We are controlled by the lord of our lives.”~Rebecca Pippert, author and speaker “My faith is very important to me. The values that guide my work, they are very important to me. For me it is important not just to go out there and talk but that my talk is matched with the action. I don't think I would be where I am if I didn't have my faith in God.”~Leymah Gbowee, Liberian peace activist, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and 2016 Dartmouth Commencement Speaker “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”~Attributed to Confucius (c. 551-c.479 BC) “I do not pray for success. I ask for faithfulness.”~Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, aka, “Mother Teresa” (1910-1997), Albanian-Indian nun “What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.”~Ellen Glasgow (1873-1945) novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner “You are a sinner, a great, desperate sinner; now come, as the sinner you are, to the God who loves you. He wants you as you are; He does not want anything from you, a sacrifice, a work; He wants you alone.”~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), Life TogetherSERMON PASSAGESelected Passages from Proverbs Proverbs 11:30 (ESV)The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,and whoever captures souls is wise. Proverbs 22:29 (ESV)Do you see a man skillful in his work?He will stand before kings;he will not stand before obscure men. Proverbs 3 (ESV)1 My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,2 for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Proverbs 3 (ESV)13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,14 for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.15 She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG)“Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart;don't try to figure out everything on your own.Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;He's the one who will keep you on track.” Proverbs 3:9 (MSG)Honor GOD with everything you own;give him the first and the best.Your barns will burst,your wine vats will brim over. Proverbs 15:22 (MSG)“Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail;take good counsel and watch them succeed.” Proverbs 16:10-16 (MSG)“A good leader motivates,doesn't mislead, doesn't exploit.GOD cares about honesty in the workplace;your business is his business.Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds;sound leadership has a moral foundation.Good leaders cultivate honest speech;they love advisors who tell them the truth.An intemperate leader wreaks havoc in lives;you're smart to stay clear of someone like that.Good-tempered leaders invigorate lives;they're like spring rain and sunshine.Get wisdom—it's worth more than money;choose insight over income every time.”

Psalm 60 is a Psalms of communal lament and a plea for God's intervention and restoration. Attributed to David, it reflects a time of national distress and military struggle. Here is an in-depth look at its structure and themes: Structure and Themes 1.Verses 1-3: Cry for Help •Verse 1: “You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry—now restore us!” •The psalm opens with a lament, acknowledging God's anger and its devastating effects on the nation. •Verse 2: “You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.” •The imagery of a quaking land symbolizes instability and crisis. •Verse 3: “You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.” •The psalmist describes the hardships faced by the people, likening their suffering to the disorienting effects of strong wine. 2.Verses 4-5: Appeal for Deliverance •Verse 4: “But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.” •Despite the distress, there is a recognition of God's protection for the faithful. •Verse 5: “Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.” •The plea for deliverance is a call for God's intervention to save His beloved people. 3.Verses 6-8: God's Assurance •Verse 6: “God has spoken from his sanctuary: ‘In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.'” •God speaks, reaffirming His control and promises regarding the land. •Verses 7-8: “Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter. Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” •These verses affirm God's sovereignty over Israel and its neighbors, using symbolic language to depict His dominion and authority. 4.Verses 9-12: Renewed Confidence and Plea •Verse 9: “Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?” •The psalmist questions who will guide them to victory over their enemies. •Verse 10: “Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?” •There is an acknowledgment of past rejection but a renewed hope for God's presence. •Verse 11: “Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.” •A recognition that victory depends on God's help, not human efforts. •Verse 12: “With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.” •The psalm concludes with confidence in God's power to grant victory and subdue their foes. Key Takeaways •Lament and Hope: Psalm 60 exemplifies the pattern of lament followed by expressions of hope and trust in God's deliverance. •Divine Sovereignty: It underscores God's control over all nations and His ability to rescue His people despite apparent abandonment. •Community Focus: The communal nature of the psalm highlights the collective experience of distress and the shared hope for divine intervention. Psalm 60 teaches us about turning to God in times of national or communal crisis, recognizing His ultimate authority, and trusting in His promise to restore and deliver His people.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
In August 2013, a chemical attack using sarin gas was perpetrated in Syria's Ghouta region, northeast of Damascus, killing some 1,400 people. Attributed to the regime of Bashar al-Assad, the crime remains unpunished to this day. But Syrian refugees in Europe are fighting for justice. Activists, lawyers and witnesses have set out to track down those responsible, some of whom live in France. Yet many obstacles remain: the few witnesses living in exile fear reprisals on their families who have stayed behind, while there is no access to Assad's Syria, making it impossible to carry out investigations on the ground. FRANCE 24's Dana Alboz brings us this exclusive 27-minute documentary. Warning: viewers may find some images upsetting.
Support us on Patreon --- Liam and Russian Sam tunnel beneath the hills of Mexico to uncover the remarkable history behind the 1948 film "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and its creators. Based on a 1927 novel about three American gold-hunters torn apart by greed, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is one of the only modern novels whose author is effectively unknown. Attributed only to the mysterious "B. Traven," a German residing in Mexico, speculation over the writer's identity takes us through the German Revolution of 1919 and rumors of secret illegitimate sons of industrialists and Kaiser. Celebrated in its time for its stark depiction of human brutality, the novel ascended to immortality when director John Huston adapted Traven's story in an usual western in 1948. Starring Humphrey Bogart and Huston's father Walter as prospectors, the film is regarded among the greatest riches of classic Hollywood cinema. Listen to this episode of Gladio Free Europe to dig through the dirt of deception and intrigue surrounding both the novel and the film, and decide for yourself just who was B. Traven. --- Further Listening: E07 Hernán and Aztec Empire ft. Paul Guinan E41 Spiritualism in the 1800s E66 Hail, Caesar!

Description: An immersive reading of excerpts from Arabian Nights attributed to Scheherazade with translation by Edward William Lane with reflection on leprosy, the ideal clinician and cutaneous treatments.Website:https://anauscultation.wordpress.com/ Work:The Story of King Yoonan and the Sage Dooban from The Thousand and One Nights attributed to Scheherazade with translation by Edward William Lane. in former times, in the country of the Persians, a monarch who was called King Yoonán, possessing great treasures and numerous forces, valiant, and having troops of every description; but he was afflicted with leprosy, which the physicians and sages had failed to remove; neither their potions, nor powders, nor ointments were of any benefit to him; and none of the physicians was able to cure him. At length there arrived at the city of this king a great sage, stricken in years, who was called the sage Doobán: he was acquainted with ancient Greek, Persian, modern Greek, Arabic, and Syriac books, and with medicine and astrology, both with respect to their scientific principles and the rules of their practical applications for good and evil; as well as the properties of plants, dried and fresh, the injurious and the useful: he was versed in the wisdom of the philosophers, and embraced a knowledge of all the medical and other sciences. […]He […] hired a house, in which he deposited his books, and medicines, and drugs. Having done this, he selected certain of his medicines and drugs, and made a goff-stick, with a hollow handle, into which he introduced them; after which he made a ball for it, skillfully adapted; and on the following day, after he had finished these, he went again to the King, and kissed the ground before him, and directed him to repair to the horse-course, and to play with the ball and goff-stick. The King, attended by his Emeers and Chamberlains and Wezeers, went thither, and, as soon as he arrived there, the sage Doobán presented himself before him, and handed to him the goff-stick, saying, Take this goff-stick, and grasp it thus, and ride along the horse-course, and strike the ball with it with all thy force, until the palm of thy hand and thy whole body become moist with perspiration, when the medicine will penetrate into thy hand, and pervade thy whole body; and when thou hast done this, and the medicine remains in thee, return to thy palace, and enter the bath, and wash thyself, and sleep: then shalt thou find thyself cured: and peace be on thee.References:1001 Nights: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/34206/34206-h/34206-h.htm Leprosy: https://www.cdc.gov/leprosy/index.html Grzybowski A, Nita M.

Psalm 12 is a poignant cry for help in the midst of societal corruption and the seeming triumph of deceit and treachery. Attributed to David, it reflects a time when the faithful feel abandoned, and falsehood seems to reign. This psalm can be divided into several parts: 1. **The Cry for Help (verses 1-2):** David begins by lamenting the lack of faithful and godly individuals. He describes a society where truth and loyalty are scarce, and deceitful words prevail. 2. **God's Promise (verse 3-5):** In response to the rampant dishonesty and oppression of the needy, God promises to rise and protect those who are suffering. This section highlights God's commitment to justice and His readiness to intervene when the humble are oppressed. 3. **The Purity of God's Words (verses 6-7):** Contrasting the deceptive words of people, David extols the purity of God's words. He describes them as flawless and refined, providing a stark contrast to the corrupt communication around him. This trust in God's promises offers reassurance in the midst of chaos. 4. **The Enduring Presence of the Wicked (verse 8):** Despite God's promises, wickedness still pervades society. David notes that the vile continue to be exalted, which underscores the ongoing struggle between good and evil. Throughout Psalm 12, there is a deep expression of reliance on God in times of moral decay and societal breakdown. This psalm resonates with those who feel overwhelmed by injustice and falsehood, encouraging them to find solace and strength in God's perfect and pure promises. It serves as a reminder of the eternal struggle between righteousness and wickedness, and the enduring nature of God's word as a source of truth and protection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
In a time of global distress, we're often faced with news of dire situations far from us that we can do little to affect directly. But we can learn to respond to the world that is more immediately around us with the kind of patience, wisdom, care and love that makes a genuine, tangible, and life-giving difference. In this week's conversation we explore how we can observe and undo the barriers inside us to being this way. And how we enroll others in helping us to do that.

What if it's true that “We can not solve our problems using the same level of thinking that created them”? - Attributed to Albert EinsteinCould it be that our building science understanding is limited? Could it be that even the clarity of understanding we gain by viewing homes and buildings as a systems of systems, assemblies, materials and products interacting according to the laws of science and nature - is necessary but not sufficient to cause us to build that way? Building science is a necessary understanding but it is proving insufficient to cause the change we want at the pace we need. What do we need to add to the building-as-a-system perspective? What will it take to get past Knowing How to get us to Actually Doing what it takes to design and build for the outcomes we need? Using that concept as a lens, this episode seeks to expand the building-as-a-systems view into the society-as-a-system view in order to find ways to allow the power of building science to have proper impact in society. Anyone working in the AEC knows that the barriers to change are solid and weighty. This is what motivates our search for Leverage. Leverage is a force multiplier. Leverage creates a large powerful force using a smaller force. We need leverage to multiply the force we can exert to cause change to happen in the AEC. Following the insights from Donella Meadows(2), we focus on the concept of Leverage Points - those “places within a complex system where a small change in one area can have pervasive positive impacts”. What we will discover is that according to Donella our mental models of the world, our industry, and our role in it - our deeply held, often unexamined, paradigms, are points of power that bring leverage. Please join us for this rich and thoughtful exploration to find sufficiency. What will it actually take to bring the future we want into the present we have.

Embracing Light, Love, and Life: The Messages of 1 John The First Epistle of John is a profound text within the New Testament that delves deeply into the themes of light, love, and eternal life, offering guidance for living a life that reflects true fellowship with God. Attributed to John the Apostle, this letter addresses the early Christian community, countering false teachings and providing assurance of salvation. 1 John emphasizes the importance of living in the light, loving one another, and adhering to the truth of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Through its powerful messages, 1 John seeks to strengthen believers' faith and understanding of God's nature. Let's explore the central teachings of 1 John and their significance for contemporary believers. The Nature of God as Light 1 John introduces God as light, in whom there is no darkness at all, setting the foundation for the epistle's exploration of truth, morality, and divine fellowship. This imagery of light versus darkness serves as a metaphor for purity, truth, and righteousness in contrast to sin, falsehood, and moral waywardness. John asserts that fellowship with God necessitates walking in the light, embodying honesty, integrity, and transparency in one's life. The Call to Love Central to the epistle is the commandment to love one another, which John identifies as an old commandment given a new expression in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Love is presented not only as a moral imperative but as an intrinsic sign of knowing God, for "God is love." This love is manifested in Jesus's sacrificial death, providing a model for believers to lay down their lives for one another. John emphasizes that love and faith are interconnected, with love acting as the evidence of one's true faith in God and His Son. Overcoming the World through Faith 1 John speaks to the victory that believers have over the world through their faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. This victory is not defined by worldly standards of power or success but by the profound spiritual triumph over sin, falsehood, and death. Faith in Jesus, acknowledged as the Christ, is portrayed as the means by which believers overcome the world, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the core truths of the Christian faith amidst false teachings and moral confusion. Assurance of Eternal Life The epistle offers believers assurance of eternal life, which is found in Jesus Christ. John writes to his audience with the intention of providing them with confidence in their salvation, emphasizing that this assurance comes from abiding in Christ and adhering to His commandments. The testimony of God concerning His Son is presented as the foundation for this assurance, encouraging believers to remain steadfast in their faith. Testing the Spirits 1 John also addresses the challenge of discerning truth from falsehood, particularly in the context of various prophets and teachers within the Christian community. John advises believers to "test the spirits" to see whether they are from God, highlighting the importance of discernment in maintaining the integrity of the faith. The recognition of Jesus Christ come in flesh is given as a criterion for discerning the Spirit of God from the spirit of antichrist. Contemporary Relevance The themes of light, love, and eternal life in 1 John remain profoundly relevant for Christians today. The epistle's emphasis on living truthfully, loving deeply, and holding firmly to the foundational truths of the faith resonates in a world marked by moral ambiguity, relational fractures, and spiritual searching. 1 John calls believers to a life characterized by divine fellowship, mutual love, and unwavering hope in the promises of God. Conclusion 1 John serves as a powerful reminder of the essential elements of the Christian life: walking in the light of God's truth, loving one another as a reflection of God's love, and holding fast to the assurance of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. Its messages encourage believers to live out their faith with conviction, compassion, and confidence, fostering a community that embodies the love and light of God in the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Chinese philosopher “I can't tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.”~Ed Sheeran, singer-songwriter “You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”~Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), diplomat, activist, and First Lady “He that hung up the earth in space was Himself hanged up; He that fixed the heavens was fixed with nails; He that bore up the earth was borne up on a tree; the Lord of all was subjected to ignominy in a naked body—God put to death!”~Melito, Bishop of Sardis (writing circa 160-177) “At the heart of the gospel is the promise that in Christ we can have a new beginning, a fresh start where…we can experience the new creation power of God, the same power that he will one day use to transform all of creation into a new heavens and new earth for his people to dwell in with him forever.”~Matthew S. Harmon, New Testament scholar “Lo! my God, without merit on my part, of His pure and free mercy, has given to me (an unworthy, condemned, and contemptible creature) all the riches of justification and salvation in Christ. For such a Father then, who has overwhelmed me with these inestimable riches of His, why should I not freely, cheerfully, with my whole heart and with an eager will, do all that I know will be pleasing to Him, and acceptable in His sight? “I will therefore give myself, as a sort of Christ, to my neighbor, as Christ has given Himself to me; and will do nothing in this life, except what I see will be needful, advantageous, and wholesome for my neighbor, since by faith I abound in all good things in Christ.”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), On the Freedom of the ChristianSERMON PASSAGEGalatians 6:11-18 (ESV)Galatians 6 11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. 17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. 2 Corinthians 5 11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 12 We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Galatians 2 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Understanding Psalm 73: A Journey from Envy to EnlightenmentPsalm 73 is a profound piece of poetry that belongs to the third book of the Psalms in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. Attributed to Asaph, a prominent Levite musician and seer in the court of David, this Psalm is a deeply personal confession of faith, illustrating the psalmist's journey from doubt and envy to trust and understanding in the face of apparent injustices in the world. The Struggle with Envy and DoubtThe Psalm opens with a statement of God's goodness to Israel, particularly to those who are pure in heart. However, the psalmist quickly dives into a personal crisis of faith, envying the prosperity of the wicked. He observes how the wicked seem to live carefree lives, free from burdens and enjoying physical health and wealth, while the righteous suffer. This observation leads him to question the justice of God, wondering if living a life of righteousness is in vain. The Turning Point: Entering the Sanctuary of GodThe turning point for the psalmist comes when he enters the sanctuary of God. It is in the presence of God that he gains a new perspective on the fate of the wicked. He realizes that their prosperity is temporary and that they are set on a slippery path leading to destruction. This revelation is pivotal; it shifts the psalmist's focus from earthly circumstances to eternal realities. The Revelation of Divine Justice and ProvidenceWith this newfound understanding, the psalmist acknowledges his ignorance and short-sightedness in judging God's justice based on worldly standards. He confesses his bitterness and foolishness in envying the wicked, realizing that true blessing lies not in earthly prosperity but in the nearness of God. The psalmist finds comfort in knowing that God is continually with him, guiding him with counsel and ultimately taking him into glory. A Renewed Commitment to Trust in GodThe Psalm concludes with a declaration of trust and commitment to God.The psalmist recognizes that, apart from God, he desires nothing on earth. He has learned that those who are far from God will perish, but those who trust in the Lord will declare his works and find their strength in Him. This shift from envy to enlightenment reflects a deepened understanding of God's sovereignty and justice. Application in Modern Life Psalm 73 speaks to a timeless human condition—the tendency to compare our lives with others and question God's fairness in the face of injustice. It teaches us that the appearance of prosperity can be deceptive and that true fulfilment and security are found in a relationship with God. By entering into God's presence and seeking His perspective, we can overcome doubts and find peace in the assurance of His divine providence and justice. In conclusion, Psalm 73 is a powerful testament to the journey of faith, from struggling with doubt and envy to finding security and peace in God's presence. It encourages believers to trust in God's overarching plan and to seek a deeper understanding of His ways, reminding us that our ultimate hope and fulfilment lie not in the fleeting pleasures of this world but in the eternal promises of God.

We are free:We Just Have to Remember How to Act Free“Between the stimulus and response, there is a space. And in that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”(Attributed to) Viktor FranklAs the above profound quote shows, freedom lies in our ability to make our own choices about the actions we take.The truth is that we are responsible for our own actions.We already choose how we react or respond to any stimulus; those actions, whether reaction or response, will be based on our individual belief system that manifests as our thoughts.And our individual belief system, until we understand that we can change it, is often the result of our conditioning through the indoctrination we are subjected to throughout our childhood, mainly via the ‘education system'; a system that disempowers us. But whatever its source, that conditioning is not permanent.Most of us are aware of the power of ‘positive thinking', but thinking alone is insufficient; we have to take actions based on our positive thoughts.True empowerment lies in understanding who we are and finding the courage to accept the challenge of ‘being the change you wish to see in the world', as I discussed in my previous article.This challenge is often referred to as “the hero's journey”.If this is a challenge that inspires you, please join us in my workshop Creating Change by the Power of Your Thoughts; a 90-minute presentation where we'll dive deeper into learning how to create the life experiences we want.Date: Saturday 2nd March 2024Time: 9am US Pacific/12noon US Eastern/5pm UK.To Join Dawn: https://www.dawnlester.com/offers/dv5z5uj8/checkoutThere is no fee for the workshop; you have the option to donate an amount of your choosing on a value-for-value basis(Donations help to support Dawn's work

Miami Heat radio and TV analyst, Amy Audibert, joins Hoch, Crowder and Solana to break down what's been hurting the Miami Heat during their current four game losing skid.
What if we paraphrase a popular saying about the devil* and think “The greatest trick the modern world ever pulled was getting humanity to believe there aren't any options”?As cultural and ecological crises deepen around the world, there are visionaries taking steps to demonstrate that, yes, we have options in how we choose to live and the future we imagine for ourselves and the planet.This emerging and powerful sense of new possibility is transforming, among many other endeavors, how we think about and create a sense of community — the ways we work, live and engage with one another and our environment. Intentional neighborhoods, “metamodern monasteries”, and virtually connected global networks are all part of an expanding vision for a collective human experience.Of course, no one is saying it's going to be an easy transformation. For example, a cultural undercurrent we all share in our collective imagination is for a superhero to come and save the day; always an individual, never a group of people talking through their differences We talk through many visions and ideas for a new approach to community in the second part of our conversation among Aviv Shahar and Sylvie Barbier, French-Taiwanese artist, entrepreneur and educator, and Rufus Pollock, entrepreneur, researcher and technologist. Among their many projects and passions, Sylvie and Rufus co-founded Life Itself, dedicated to wiser living and social transformation. Part 1 explored the emerging, new second Renaissance.From their conversation:We're serving the discovery of our individual purpose and calling, and at the same time, becoming a serv ice agency of evolution itself. Can we wrap our mind and heart around not living just for ourselves? A practice hub is having a space for the modern individual to rediscover in sometimes awkward reengineering how to be together again, at a pace that doesn' t create trauma about the collective. What mix of ingredients — business plus location plus practices — will be scalable to create a transformative region in the next few decades, a place in the world where the future is being pioneered? I see a lot of mov ement coming from fear and panic. Being in service today is to not give in to fear, but slow down and discern what's going on inside and outside. Let the work, work on you.Something bigger than us wants to reconnect with humanity while we seek to reconnec t with it. We're birthing new sense organs and ways of being — connecting with the ineffable that is rediscovering its beloved humanity through our endeavor. People are skeptical; there's a sense that things won't work out. One of the killers of this age i s cynicism; it's an extinguisher of hope.“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.” Attributed to Charles Baudelaire, and quoted in the film “The Usual Suspects”This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. Information about upcoming special events can be found on the Events page. Also visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel. TWEETABLE QUOTES “So some of the practice hubs is that, is like having a space for the modern animal to rediscover, in this awkward reengineering, how to be together again - and do it at a pace that we can process it, that we can integrate it - versus just having a rupture, and another breakdown, and another trauma about the collective.” (Sylvie) “If you go and study their life, in my view, about a month or six months later some people there is something that shifts, but it's a very small minority. We do a month workshop and we have conflict, they have fights with other people in the community. And we're like, that's the best thing. They may not like that as much, but that's when the growth happened. If you can go through conflict, if you can transform that, if you can start seeing your own shadow. And believe me, Sylvie and I have seen a lot of it shatter living community, all the things that you haven't dealt with in yourself, or the ways that you're this way or that way, or reactive or, you know, dominating or whatever else there is about you. I mean, you keep being shown that.” (Rufus)“In my personal journey, a whole part of growing up was to deal with the sense of disappointment because I thought that life was supposed to happen a certain way - from the media and the narrative I was given. And I think in reclaiming a different narrative, which is saying there is difficulty, and there is light and liberation and solace when you embrace the difficulty on the other side. Life is not about trying to not have problems or not have difficulties, but most of the depiction of what people tell you is all they're trying to do is get rid of problems.” (Sylvie) “People are coming, what we're interested particularly in was what we call sustained ontological development, fancy term, but what I mean is the other thing we're interested in is what is the growth people need to go through and want to go through and how does it sustain? One of the things that intrigued us was, I've gone on a retreat, you know, you come back after a week, it's like, Oh my God, I've seen it, I need to change my life.
