    PentecostJoel 2:28-32 Awaiting someone's promised arrival can be thrilling. Children write letters to Santa weeks in advance, bursting with excitement at the thought of his Christmas visit. Families crowd around the airport, scanning every traveler for the familiar face they've been longing to see. Parents in the delivery room hold their breath, waiting for that first cry confirming the arrival of their newborn baby. But what if the waiting wasn't minutes, hours, or weeks. What if it stretched into centuries? From early in the Old Testament until the day of Pentecost, God's people lived with a promise: that His Spirit would one day dwell among them. Prophets proclaimed this coming blessing, but generations passed without seeing its fulfillment. Still, Israel waited – longing, hoping, and trusting. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Pentecost, the day Joel prophesied about, and the day God's long-awaited promise came to life among His people. We'll explore miraculous truths about the Holy Spirit including His work then, His work now, and His work in the future.

    With politics so much to the fore in people's thinking at this time, I was reminded of this quote by the 17th century Anglican theologian Richard Hooker that ‘He that goes about to persuade a multitude that they are not so well governed as they ought to be, shall never want attentive and favourable hearers.' Those who promise much by way of better things for society are always likely to be popular, initially anyway, until their ideas are exposed to realities that either prove their value or show them to be wanting. Each of us know where our heart veers in response to the events and challenges of our time, but may we always bear in mind that the anger of man can never bring about the righteousness of God; and that while hatred of ‘the other side' can stir up feelings of superiority or contempt, nothing less than the working of God's Holy Spirit can ever create anything that truly unites. Since we must always be in search of godly ways of expressing our concern, I thought that reminding ourselves of James Montgomery's words in his famous Christmas carol would be an unusual but potentially fruitful way to join with the angels in celebrating that Jesus has come into our midst, and that He invites people everywhere to come and worship the One who is with us now, and who will suddenly appear again. Here's a reminder of the lyrics: Angels from the realms of glory Wing your flight o'er all the earth Ye who sang creation's story Now proclaim Messiah's birth Shepherds in the field abiding Watching o'er your flocks by night God with men is now residing Yonder shines the infant light Come and worship Come and worship the Lord, our God Come and worship the Savior Worship Christ the newborn King Saints before the altar bending Watching long in hope and fear Suddenly the Lord descending In His temple shall appear Come and worship Come and worship the Lord, our God Come and worship the Saviour Worship Christ the newborn King Come and worship Come and worship the Lord, our God Come and worship the Saviour Worship Christ the newborn King Jesus, we don't have to wait until Christmas to pray for You to rekindle the love of many to honour and worship You with all their hearts!

AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR EBONY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL November 24, 2025 | Streaming CAST & CREW OF EBONY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL Ebony Tates as Ebony Scrooge BRAN'S EBONY CHRISTMAS CAROL SYNOPSIS Meet Ebony Scrooge. It's the holiday season and she wakes up absolutely miserable. She's out here wearing all black, so you KNOW she hates Christmas. She walks out of her room to find her assistant Maggie has decorated the house for Christmas. Ebony's response? “THROW IT AWAY!” To her, Christmas is only good for boosting sales. We then meet Nate, an aspiring winemaker who dreams of making his own wine someday. Unfortunately, for now he just works at Ebony's winery. Ebony storms into the office and cannot believe everyone is trying to decorate for Christmas. She reminds everyone that she has very clear rules: no Christmas music, no decorations, no jingle bells, and absolutely NO Mariah Carey. That night on Christmas Eve, Ebony falls asleep and is awakened by her Aunt Pooch, who warns her that she'll be visited by three ghosts. Ebony is not impressed. First up is the Ghost of Christmas Past, who shows Ebony her childhood. Growing up, her family never had much money, which made Christmas hard for her to enjoy. Her parents worked really hard to make the holidays feel special, but young Ebony could never really appreciate it. Then the Ghost of Christmas Present arrives…and he's hot. He shows Ebony how much her employees dislike working for her. He also shows her parents — who are very much alive — sadly talking about how she never visits anymore and how much she hates Christmas. This one actually gets to her. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows her a future where she dies and nobody really cares. Not even Nate. Brutal. Ebony wakes up changed. She rushes to the winery, apologizes to her employees, gives everyone time off, and hands out bonuses. She also finally reconnects with her parents. Then she throws a huge Christmas party for the staff where she spends an aggressively long amount of time backing that thang up on Nate. Eventually, she pulls him aside, tells him she wants to help launch his wine, and then they kiss — because obviously these two have had feelings for each other the entire movie.

    I first saw the Game Genie at a friend's house just after Christmas in 1991. We were doing the usual thing, seeing what everyone got, trying out games, handing controllers back and forth. Then he brought out the Game Genie and plugged it into the Nintendo. The second I saw what it could do, I wanted one of my own. It was that simple. If you spent enough time with games, you knew their rules pretty well, and this thing seemed to step right past them. On this episode of the Retroist Podcast, I talk about that first time seeing the Game Genie in action and why it was such a revelation the moment it was plugged in. Until then, games felt locked. They were hard in the ways they were hard, and if you could not get past something, that was that. Then this little cartridge adapter shows up and suddenly you can start with extra lives, make impossible jumps easier, or see parts of a game you had never been able to reach on your own. It did not feel like a normal accessory. It felt like you were getting access to something you were not really supposed to have. From there I get into how the Game Genie actually worked, by changing the values a game was reading without permanently altering the cartridge itself. I talk about where the device came from, how Codemasters developed the idea, how Galoob brought it to the United States, and how Nintendo saw it as a real threat almost immediately. A big part of the episode is the court case that followed, with Nintendo arguing that the Game Genie created unauthorized derivative works and Galoob arguing that players were only changing the experience temporarily on games they already owned. It is a fascinating fight because the whole thing turns on a question that sounds simple but wasn't clarified at the time. What still makes the Game Genie worth talking about is that it sits right at the point where childhood excitement, technical ingenuity, and corporate control all ran into each other. For user, it was a way to bend games that had always seemed rigid and unforgiving. For Nintendo, it looked like somebody else stepping in between them and their product. And for anyone looking back on it now, it is a good reminder that this odd little device was tied to much bigger questions about ownership, software, and who gets to decide what a game is once you bring it home.

    A man reads about a murder in his morning paper over breakfast in his Piccadilly rooms. That should be the end of it. But something follows him from that reading — something that refuses to stay on the page. And when fate places him in the jury box at the murder trial itself, he begins to count his fellow jurymen, there there should be twelve, he counts thirteen...Dickens wrote this story with a title that is itself a warning. Whether you take that warning as a comment on the narrator, on the law, or on the nature of what follows, is a question the story leaves carefully unanswered. *"To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt"* was first published in the Christmas 1865 edition of *All the Year Round*, Dickens's own literary journal, as part of a collection entitled *Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions*. It was later republished under the titles *The Trial for Murder* and *The Thirteenth Man*.Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was born in Portsmouth and is widely regarded as the greatest English novelist of the Victorian era. He was also one of the finest writers of ghost stories in the language, and this story was considered the definitive English ghost story for decades, before M.R.

    Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash sits down with Jason Taylor — a Philadelphia-area fly tier, Tier's Row fixture at the Edison show and regular contributor to Masters of the Fly — for a wide-ranging conversation about fly tying philosophy, natural materials and the tradition of innovation rooted in Bob Popovics' work. On this fly fishing podcast episode, Taylor traces his journey from a 2008 Belize honeymoon that ignited his passion for the sport, to the early-2010s online forums — particularly Stripers Online — that connected him with a formative community of Northeast saltwater tiers including Popovics and David Nelson. Taylor shares the philosophy that drives every session at the vise: every feature in a fly must serve a purpose, and materials should be used as sparingly as possible to achieve it. The conversation digs into the enduring versatility of the hollow fleye platform — what Taylor calls "the Christmas tree" — its adaptability across materials and applications, and his own innovations including an ostrich herl hollow fleye variant and a Surf Candy adaptation with embedded foam for neutral buoyancy when targeting false albacore in calm, glassy conditions. Taylor also offers detailed guidance on selecting and handling bucktail and ostrich herl, shares tying tips rarely covered elsewhere, and takes listeners through the exotic and vintage natural materials currently occupying his tying bench.Key TakeawaysHow to apply Bob Popovics' "Christmas tree" principle to hollow fleye design — preserving the core profile shape while freely adapting materials, proportions and techniques.Why using less material than you think you need almost always produces a more castable, livelier fly.How to select bucktail for hollow fleyes by identifying soft, kinky fiber pulled from the middle half to two-thirds of the tail for the most predictable flare under thread pressure.Why a neutrally buoyant fly presentation — using embedded foam under a hard body paired with an intermediate line — consistently outperforms standard Surf Candy patterns when false albacore become selective in calm, flat-water conditions.How to stabilize thread wraps using brushable cyanoacrylate applied directly to the thread before making final wraps rather than to the hook or materials.Why grading ostrich herl by length, taper and barb density — rather than just overall plume size — is critical to achieving consistent movement in large saltwater patterns.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe episode centers on hollow fleye construction — specifically the bucktail collar technique Bob Popovics developed and Taylor has refined over more than a decade, including his personal adaptation of palmering ostrich herl down a mono or shank base to create a mobile, feather-forward variant. Taylor details his Surf Candy–based neutral buoyancy modification, incorporating foam beneath the hard body to maintain a suspending presentation throughout the retrieve — not just the first few strips — which he argues better matches the behavior of bait sitting still in calm, low-turbulence water when paired with an intermediate fly line. He also covers his evolution of the Semper Fli, replacing time-consuming palmered feather fronts with commercially available fly tying brushes for consistent, production-speed results without sacrificing profile. On the tools and materials side, Taylor explains his preference for monofilament thread for virtually all saltwater work (with gel-spun for mounting eyes), walks through his grading process for both bucktail and ostrich herl, and advocates for brushable cyanoacrylate applied to the thread to more durably secure the final wraps. He references Regal as his favored vise, Tuffleye (a blue-light–cured resin with origins in dental applications) as his preferred coating for albie and Surf Candy patterns, and monofilament as the default thread for nearly all non-dry fly work.Locations & SpeciesTaylor's saltwater fishing world centers on the Northeast coast — New Jersey beaches and jetty structure where he targets false albacore (albies) and striped bass. The neutral-buoyancy Surf Candy modification he developed addresses a specific condition: calm, glassy water where bait is suspended neutrally in the water column rather than being pushed and darting erratically, a situation that allows albies to scrutinize flies far more critically than in ripping current. The foam-infused body paired with an intermediate line creates the illusion of naturally suspended bait being dragged just below the surface — a presentation Taylor describes as reliably effective when albies appear finicky. Jetty fishing accounts for heavy fly loss in his program, which directly influences his bench work: efficient, repeatable tying at high quality is not just an aesthetic goal but a practical one.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat is the "Christmas tree" principle and why has the hollow fleye remained relevant for decades?Taylor borrows this framing directly from Bob Popovics: the hollow fleye's core construction — bucktail tied in parallel to the shank and then pushed back on itself in a reverse tie to form an umbrella shape — creates a foundational profile that can be dressed up or stripped down infinitely. In its simplest form it ties in under five minutes and catches fish for anything; at the other extreme it accommodates exotic feather work, articulations and brush-based enhancements while retaining the original profile logic. Taylor's own ostrich herl variant illustrates how elastic the platform is: by palmering ostrich around a mono or shank base — orienting the material perpendicular to the base rather than parallel — he achieved a different movement profile while staying true enough to the Christmas tree shape that Popovics immediately recognized the technique as sound. That openness to adaptation was always the point: a baseline any tier could take and make their own.How do you select bucktail for hollow fleyes?Look for fibers that are soft, slightly kinky or wavy rather than pin-straight, and of medium hollowness. Taylor recommends pulling material from the middle half to two-thirds of the tail, where hair has enough hollow structure to flare predictably but enough density to stay controlled. He warns that the softest, most hollow base fibers can be too erratic for general hollow collar work and are better reserved for specific profile applications near the front of a fly.Why do false albacore seem to go finicky in calm, flat water?Taylor's answer is that this behavior isn't true selectivity — it's a physics mismatch. In ripping current or choppy conditions, bait is pushed around and moves erratically; a fly stripped through that same water fits right in. In flat, glassy conditions, suspended bait is genuinely neutrally buoyant and barely moving, and albies can see that a standard fly doesn't replicate that suspension. His foam-infused body maintains the neutrally buoyant presentation throughout the retrieve rather than sinking progressively as trapped air escapes, which he argues is the key to the pattern's effectiveness in those conditions.How should brushable cyanoacrylate be used correctly at the vise?The standard approach — applying glue directly to the hook shank or finished materials — can stiffen fibers and make delicate collars unpredictable. Taylor applies brushable super glue to the thread itself, just before making final securing wraps, which locks the thread without affecting material movement or positioning. This is especially useful when controlling sparse bucktail or fine feathers where a traditional coat would ruin the texture and action of a finished collar.Why does kinky or wavy bucktail produce a better hollow fleye than straight bucktail?Taylor explains that kinky, wavy bucktail creates an illusion of greater bulk and size than the amount of material actually on the hook warrants. Just as straightening curly hair reveals how much longer it truly is, the kinks and curves in wavy bucktail compress into a shorter measured length — meaning the fibers occupy more visual space on the hook than pin-straight hair of the same count would. For hollow fleyes, where the goal is achieving profile and the illusion of size with the least possible material, that optical magnification effect is a direct advantage. Straight bucktail, by contrast, gives you exactly what it is and nothing more.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260515dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.” Acts 17:31 The Past Is Paid For It seems like an all-too-common occurrence when someone in the public eye comes under fire for past indiscretions. Whether it is athletes, politicians, or entertainers, we have seen examples of someone falling from grace. Once past sins are brought into the light, very few people in our society will have mercy. Social media will vilify the person. Public opinion will turn against them quickly. They might be blackballed by Hollywood or shunned by their political party. It is likely they will never recover or return to their previous position. Deep down, we are all afraid that our past sins will come back to bite us in the end. Maybe it was something done in secret that nobody knows about. Perhaps it was a sin committed in the heat of the moment, you know that at some point it is going to come to light, and you are going to have to answer for it. It is likely that whatever happened will eventually be known by others; it is just a matter of time. The fear of waiting for that other shoe to drop is real. We fear losing our jobs, reputation, or relationships. Perhaps more than that, we fear being punished by God for all eternity. That would be our fate, except that someone already answered to God on our behalf. In giving himself to die on the cross, Jesus already took both the blame and the punishment for our sins. He has paid for our sins and removed them from us. Yes, the day is coming when many will have to answer for what they have done. But through faith in Jesus, we don’t have to fear that day. The Judge on that day will be the same one who died and rose from the dead to save us. Thanks be to God that through faith in Jesus, we will not be made to answer for our sins! Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for answering for my sins and removing them from me. Lead me to not fear the day of your return. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

    When disaster strikes and the chips are down, who makes it out alive? On this episode, we explore what it takes to survive a crisis. We hear the incredible story of a 17-year-old girl, who after surviving a plane crash, faced a harrowing journey though the Amazon to safety, why some people experience hallucinations when facing death, and how we're wired to behave in emergencies. On Christmas morning in 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke woke up deep in the jungle, injured, in shock, and utterly alone. She was the sole survivor of a plane crash that had dumped her in the Peruvian Amazon — and now she would have to find her way to safety all by herself. Writer Ellen Cochrane documented Koepcke's incredible, 11-day journey back to civilization in her new book, “Follow the Water: The Unbelievable True Story of a Teenager's Survival in the Amazon.” We talk with journalist and lifelong adventurer John Geiger about the “Third Man Factor,” a phenomenon in which people in extreme, often life-threatening situations find themselves being helped and guided by a mysterious presence. Geiger's book is “The Third Man Factor: Surviving the Impossible.” Journalist Amanda Ripley has spent decades covering disasters, ranging from plane crashes to natural disasters. After interviewing hundreds of survivors and experts, she  breaks down the three stages of how we respond to disasters, what they say about how we're wired, and the strategies that help people survive. Her book is “The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes — and Why?”

There's Jemima Fawr, the legendary heroine of Fishguard, who reportedly captured French soldiers during the last invasion of mainland Britain. There's Megan Ferch Evan - hunter, fisherwoman, musician, boat builder, blacksmith, wrestler, and all-round local legend - whose reputation became so extraordinary she was remembered as the Queen of the Lakes. And then things become stranger still… Victorian writers also tell of a travelling Welsh giantess who vanished to Texas with her much smaller husband. Press play for the full story!

    Inflation Jumps 3.8%. Trump Disapproval on Economy Hits 70%! Senator McConnell is Not Well. Osborn Leads Ricketts in Nebraska. Mendoza Gives Trump the Stiff-arm. Kari Lake Appointed Ambassador to Jamaica!?  It's Testimony Tuesday and the corruption is on full display. Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine are on the Hill asking Congress for $1.5 trillion more for the Pentagon — a Christmas tree budget designed to bankroll the unauthorized Iran war and whatever comes next, whether that's Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, or Cuba. Buried in the same hearing: the Pentagon's own CFO admitting the Iran tab is now $29 billion and counting, $4 billion more than Americans were told. Gas is up, beef is up, tomatoes are up 40%, inflation just hit a five-year high, and 70% of the country disapproves of Trump on the economy.

    661: Donna's Corporate Career Ended Overnight — So She Built A $51K Brand In 2 Months

    Foundr Magazine Podcast with Nathan Chan

    A 20-year career in high-level finance ended in a single day when Donna Gilbertson was made redundant with one day's notice. No plan B, two kids at home, and a household now running on one income — she could have played it safe and taken the next accounting role that came along. She went to the interviews. Every single time, she didn't want to be there. So instead, she pulled $7,000 from her home loan offset account and bet it on a hair towel. Two months after launching Junie, she'd done $51,000 in sales. In this episode, Donna walks us through the full journey — from product validation surveys and months of failed fabric samples, to a viral moment she almost missed because she was watching MasterChef on the couch. She gets honest about the slow weeks, the seven days without a single sale, and what it actually took to be ready when the opportunity came. What you'll learn in this interview: How a $7,000 first order placed in October and shipped by sea set the foundation for a February launch that was deliberately timed to avoid Black Friday, Christmas, and the January spending slump Why Donna surveyed just 25 people before committing to the product — and how that small step gave her enough confirmation to keep going The exact sourcing process that led her through dozens of fabric rejections before finding the one supplier who could produce what she needed How she built six months of Instagram content before ever announcing the product, and why posting vague "hair content" was a deliberate strategy The 15-minute school pickup filming hack that got her consistent with face-to-camera content when nothing else was working Why having 50+ reviews live on her store before the viral moment mattered as much as the viral moment itself The comment on a stranger's Instagram reel — written while watching MasterChef — that turned into 347 orders and a complete sellout in under 24 hours How she validated opening preorders by going back to her audience and asking them directly, before touching a single Shopify setting Lessons from going from $0 in orders one week to 600 orders the next — and how her accounting brain helped her scale inventory decisions with confidence The mindset shift that changed everything: the moment she stopped treating Junie as something she was "dabbling in" and decided it was her job If you're sitting on a business idea while still applying for jobs — or you've launched but you're deep in the slow, invisible stretch between start and traction — this episode is for you. Donna's story is a reminder that the boring, unglamorous work of validation, reviews, and showing up consistently before anything goes viral is exactly what makes it possible to handle it when it does.

After hearing Père Noël in France during our last episode, we take a few minutes to wander through France, Morocco, and the United Kingdom — gathering Kidcot stickers, enjoying the nighttime ambience, and letting the sounds of the season guide us.Our path leads us to the charming garden maze in the UK Pavilion, where the kids play while we wait for the next Holiday Storyteller. We even bump into some longtime friends who now live in Orlando, adding a warm, unexpected moment to the night.Then Father Christmas arrives, ringing his bell and filling the pavilion with festive cheer. He shares the origins of Christmas traditions that began in the United Kingdom — including the start of the greeting card — and even invites Mikey to help ring a bell as he sings. It's a joyful, heartfelt performance that captures the spirit of the season.

    Are you living out of the radical freedom of the Gospel, or have you traded it for the false security of a religious checklist?  This week on Off Script, Neil and Scott discuss why a life of rules is a "low bar" and how true maturity only comes through responsibility and walking hand-in-hand with the Holy Spirit. They explore the tension of the Christian life, comparing spiritual growth to the "cultivating and killing" required in a summer garden. From Scott's childhood memories of planting live Christmas trees in frozen ground to the high-stakes dangers of wandering off the path on Mount Everest, the conversation highlights why we cannot produce spiritual fruit on our own. The Challenge This week, identify one "weed" in your life, a specific struggle or habit like anger or addiction, that you want to be done with this summer. Instead of trying to fix it through willpower, bring it into the light by telling a trusted friend and invite the Holy Spirit to help you "kill" it. Hosts: Neil Gregory and Scott Nickell What We Discuss Why Galatians 5:1 is the "CliffsNotes" and summary statement of the entire book. Why you can't "make an apple" and the reality that only the Holy Spirit produces spiritual fruit. The strategy of "Cultivating vs. Killing" in your spiritual life this summer. Why "order" is attractive to those coming from chaos, but isn't always godly. How the law acts as a "low bar" that provides false security and leads to spiritual despondency. The relationship between maturity, responsibility, and true freedom. Why Paul's struggle in Romans 7 gives us hope when we feel like we're losing the battle. The high-stakes metaphor of Mount Everest and why wandering away from the Holy Spirit always has a cost.

    LISTEN TO THE WHOLE WONDERFUL EPISODE: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Dave and Ray kick off a weird “Christmas in May” Dopey Tuesday with an old Ray parody song before diving into stories about Chelsea in the ‘90s, addiction nostalgia, Andy Dick, and the destruction of a longtime neighborhood building. Dave talks about working on a Andy Dick interview for Rolling Stone, while Ray reflects on drinking alone, avoiding chaos in public, and their old neighborhood's transformation from rough-and-dangerous to luxury real estate heaven.   The episode spirals into hilarious listener reactions to Selby's heavy breathing during the Patreon Reddit Roundup episode, with fans comparing him to Darth Vader, a dying pug, and someone “pleasuring himself at a men's shelter.” Dave and Ray also talk about recovery shame, missing teeth, NYU dental clinics, old LA drug days, soft-core SLA emails, and the weirdness of getting older in recovery. The episode ends with Dave teasing a big TV pitch meeting and playing “Good So Bad.”   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    UnBecoming Part 2 - The Waiting Room (May 11, 2026)You definitely don't feel like an adult. Not like your parents did, or like their parents looked. And yet, you definitely have forgotten how to play. You can't remember the last time you relaxed. Not even on vacation. You've been in a sleep deficit for at least 10 years, and you feel as if you can only feign responsibility, trying to keep up with the world, which only seems to be speeding up. It's always trash day. The bills are always due. It's always tax season. It's always Christmas again. Your birthday, again. Monday, again. Annual visit, again? You skipped it last year.
