Parashat Ekev - The Desert & The Garden by Rabbi Avi Harari

We warmly welcome you to join us in this Sunday Night Alive message!

The largest sea creature of all time was recently discovered—but in the middle of a desert in Peru! Scientists found the fossilized remains of an ancient whale, believed to have lived over 30 million years ago. This massive creature, called Perucetus colossus, could have weighed up to 200 tons, rivaling or even surpassing today's blue whales. Finding it in a desert is wild, but back in its day, that area was underwater, part of a prehistoric ocean. Its bones were so dense and heavy that researchers think it might've been a slow swimmer, spending most of its time floating and feeding. This discovery is rewriting what we know about ancient marine life and just how gigantic creatures could get!

You know what my favorite thing about Shurima is? I don't know. But it's not Azir. And thankfully, we didn't have to talk about him much in this episode! Truly, even the Wiki wasn't interested in that guy. Shurima is the largest region in Runeterra, so naturally, we rambled on for 90 minutes. It has a ton of history and champions not only from Shurima, but many who have connections there. Including the Black Rose. So maybe we'll get some new lore soon? -------- WE HAVE MERCH!bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads Song Title | Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist | League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

From Desert Manna to Living Bread of Jesus: Trusting the Giver Today's Homily reflects on Jesus' words, “Whoever has ears ought to hear,” . . . . . . urging deep, attentive listening to God's Word. Drawing on Israel's experience in the desert, it warns against forgetting God's past goodness when facing present challenges, and cautions against grumbling, mistrust, and spiritual immaturity. The Parable of the Sower The parable of the Sower illustrates God's generous scattering of His Word everywhere, but also the varying receptivity of human hearts . . . whether hard, shallow, thorn-choked, or fertile. The example of Mary, who received the Word in her heart before in her womb, shows the ideal receptivity that allows God's Word to take root and bear abundant fruit. The Eucharist is presented as both true heavenly bread and the seed of Christ's life planted in believers, intended to grow and produce lasting spiritual fruit. The call is to prepare the “soil” of our hearts and ears to receive, retain, and live God's Word. Hear more within this Meditation Media. Listen to: From Desert Manna to Living Bread of Jesus: Trusting the Giver -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from the Homily It is a response to a lack of trust. It's a response to a lack of confidence and a refusal to understand that when God does anything, there's always a point. There's always a purpose. When grace comes into our lives, it always has a direction to it. It always leads us somewhere. But one only grows spiritually when one learns to trust the movement of grace and trust requires the risk of not always understanding right away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Image Parable of the Sower: Dutch Painter: Pieter Bruegel the Elder:  1557 A Sower went out to sow. The painting depicts a farmer scattering seed across a field. On the left, thorny bushes threaten to overtake the grain. Nearby, rocky ground offers quick growth but little endurance. To the right, further down the hill, the seed falls on fertile soil. Across the river, a crowd gathers to hear the teachings of Jesus. The painting was inspired by a trip to the mountains the artist took just before creating this piece. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel: Matthew 13: 1-9 First Reading: Exodus 16: 1-5, 9-15

Psalms with Their Backstories series by Dr. David Rieke The post Songs in the Desert appeared first on Avalon Hills Bible Church.

In this chapter of the milestone hundredth episode of the "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke introduces a rich tapestry of insights from renowned desert advocate and writer Ruben Martinez. The chapter, part of a comprehensive six-part series celebrating this landmark with diverse contributors, invites listeners into a profound discussion linking deserts not only as geographical landscapes but as symbols of spiritual and existential exploration. Martinez shares an evocative narrative that intertwines personal experiences in the stark wilderness with broader socio-political and spiritual themes. Describing his retreat at a Cistercian monastery on the Lost Coast of California, he highlights the desert as a metaphor for existential struggle and spiritual enlightenment. Drawing connections between historical Christian meditation traditions and the contemporary borders between the U.S. and Mexico, Martinez explores the desert as both a literal and metaphorical backdrop for human migration and introspection. Through this exploration, he echoes the desert's dual role as a site of significant suffering amid hope, and as a place where nature's stark reality meets transcendent potential. Key Takeaways: The desert serves as a powerful metaphor for contemplation, self-discovery, and refuge. Historical Christian monastic traditions often depict the desert as a spiritual sanctuary and testing ground. The U.S.-Mexico borderlands bear a dual representation as both harsh environments and spaces of profound human migration and hope. Spiritual silence and withdrawal can act as essential means to confront personal and collective traumas. The chapter underscores the vital integration of storytelling and activism in understanding the contemporary and historical significance of desert regions. Notable Quotes: "I write about the desert from within the confines of a Cistercian monastery...in a region known generally as the Lost Coast.""The desert is lack, was fullness, was political or beyond politics...was native land.""Two darks, two deserts. One where corruption and violence joined to crucify the bodies of the vulnerable, and the other where silence is a salve...""Every step in the wilderness was an act of faith.""I'm in my desert alongside the migrants in theirs, writing in the dark."

The worst of them were inflicted in a tiny area bounded by the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in neighboring Laos. That small region saw the most intense aerial bombing campaign in history, the massive use of toxic chemicals, and the heaviest casualties on both sides. In The Long Reckoning, George Black recounts the inspirational story of the small cast of characters—veterans, scientists, and Quaker-inspired pacifists, and their Vietnamese partners—who used their moral authority, scientific and political ingenuity, and sheer persistence to attempt to heal the horrors that were left in the wake of the military engagement in Southeast Asia. Their intersecting story is one of reconciliation and personal redemption, embedded in a vivid portrait of Vietnam today, with all its startling collisions between past and present, in which one-time mortal enemies, in the endless shape-shifting of geopolitics, have been transformed into close allies and partners.

Mac Tonnies, who died in 2010 at the age of 35, was a genius. Simple as that. His 2010 book The Cryptoterrestrials (published shortly after his untimely death) reads, as Whitley and Mac’s friend Greg Bishop say in this show, like a book that should have been published in 2025. And maybe that’s what Mac wanted when an astonishing event happened at the 2025 Contact in the Desert gathering. In the show, Whitley explains the event, and for our video viewers, shows the ultra-high strangeness origin of the haunting image of Mac you can see above. Then Whitley and Greg respect what we believe to be a direct request from Mac, and provide an in-depth discussion of The Cryptoterrestrials.

When author and leadership facilitator Rosi Greenberg found herself overwhelmed by self-doubt, she did something unexpected: she gave her inner critic a name — Sam — and drew him into a whimsical, deeply personal book that blends creativity, vulnerability, and behavioral insight. In this episode, Rosi shares how visualizing and engaging with that critical voice helped her build emotional resilience and lead with more empathy. Together, we explore how naming your inner critic can reframe fear, unlock creative expression, and reshape how we show up for ourselves and others.

“Are we there yet?” There's a chance you've heard that (or said it) from the back of a minivan when you're hours from your destination and there's still another 400 miles until the next Buc-ees. When we're waiting on your spouse, next promotion, or next vacation, life can feel the same way. So when life isn't going our pace, how can we trust that God is still good? This week, Kyle Ranson unpacks the story of the Israelites wandering for 40 years in the desert and shows how even when it feels like God is running late, He's right on time. And even while we wait, He still gives us everything we need Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

REUPLOAD Worum geht's? Ende der 1980er-Jahre steht Cinemaware für opulente Spiele, die sich anfühlen sollen wie interaktive Filme – und It Came from the Desert ist vielleicht das beste Beispiel dafür. Inspiriert von den Monsterstreifen der 50er-Jahre erzählt es die Geschichte eines Geologen in einer amerikanischen Wüstenstadt, der einer Bedrohung durch mutierte Riesenameisen auf die Spur kommt. Das Spiel kombiniert filmartige Zwischensequenzen mit Actionsequenzen, Dialogen und offenen Erkundungsteilen – ein ungewöhnlicher Genre-Mix mit erstaunlicher Handlungsfreiheit und hohem Produktionswert. Christian und Gunnar besprechen in dieser Folge, wie Cinemaware versuchte, Hollywood-Flair auf Heimcomputer zu bringen, und ob ihnen das mit It Came from the Desert gelungen ist. In der Folge kommen mit Christian Genzel (als Filmexperte) und Rahel Schmitz (als Monsterexpertin) noch weitere Personen zu Wort. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: It Came from the Desert Erscheinungstermin: 1989 Plattform: Commodore Amiga, MS-DOS, PC-Engine Entwickler: Cinemaware Publisher: Mirrorsoft Genre: Adventure mit Mini-Spielen Designer: David Riordan, Randy Platt, Kenneth Melville, Jeffrey Hilbers, Jeff Godfrey Musik: Greg Haggard, Jim Simmons Produktions-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott, Christian Genzel, Rahel Schmitz Audioproduktion: Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro & Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik)

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét get into it over a dream that left Bob mad, and only Violet Chachki could talk him down. They argue about whether Bob hosted a party at Monét's house, unpack heavy feelings about the state of the world, and discuss Bob's choice to keep his relationships offline. They also debate Andy's game night “cheating,” whether it's weird to count your Black friends if you're Black, and if a less-polished queen can spot a flawless one. Plus: kangaroo habitats, Georgia beaches, fanbase drama, and whether Monét knows the difference between fiction and nonfiction. Want to see exclusive Sibling Rivalry Bonus Content?

He's designed hundreds over the years, from secret sewer speakeasies to coming-of-age rituals on deserted islands, to funeral board games that guide people through decades of memories. In this episode, Anna talks to skateboarding legend Tony Hawk about an experience N.D. designed for Tony's office that mended friendships on a homemade train. And N.D. tells Anna how growing up in a doomsday cult in Alaska sparked his obsession with performance, ritual and generosity.   Podcast production by Zoe Azulay. Thank you also to Jeremy S.
