Check out the Video Episode! We here at HWIDG are proud to present our new sister podcast: HWICGIMC! On Here's Why I Can't Get Into My Car, we'll talk about all the reasons we're stuck in a Waffle House parking lot at four in the morning. Each week we'll invite a new guest for tips and tricks on how to break into your own car, even if it's at a Denny's or IHOP parking lot! All tips are guaranteed to be 24/7 breakfast-joint agnostic, and may even apply to cars stuck in steakhouses or KFC drive-thrus!- Big Change Now- Asshole Engineering- The Science is SettledIt's my change and I want it now! Like Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, people these days seem to want big, overarching social and political change at the snap of a hand. Look, if anyone had an Infinity Gauntlet, they would do the snap thing just like Thanos. Of course they would. Their ideal world in a blink of an eye? Sounds great. Also that's from a comic book you morons, that's not how life works. You draw sweeping swaths of socio-political change in a moment's notice? You got a war on your hands, buddy.Remember the days when you could just screw something apart and back together? With a flathead or Phillips screwdriver? And not with a proprietary swirly screw head or a bunch of plastic tabs and glue? Those were the days. You know, when you actually owned things that you bought. Not anymore. These days its all leases and use licenses. You don't own the thing and if you mess with it we'll come and take it back. Hiding under the guise of "trade secrets" and "user ease", we've gone from being able to repair things to just buying a new one.As everyone knows, once someone does some science, they submit it to the Holy Council of Science and the council etches the findings into the large, indestructible, Wall of Science so it is saved there for all time and no one can change it. Then, the members of the council announce the new science to Council Enforcers who then travel to labs all across the world and inform scientists of the new science with their fists. Once the scientists prostrate themselves to the Enforcers and pray to the God of Science three-hundred and fourteen times, they are forgiven and may return to their own science.All this and more on this week's episode!

The Righteous Emperor Constantine On the 28th day of the Coptic month Baramhat we celebrate the life of Emperor Constantine.Constantine’s father, Constantius, ruled over Byzantium, while Maximianus ruled over Rome and Diocletian ruled over Antioch and Egypt. Though Constantius was a pagan, he was honorable, loved to do good, compassionate and merciful. In the city of El-Ruha he met Helena and married her. She was Christian. Later Constantius returned back to Byzantium leaving Helena behind. She gave birth to Constantine and raised him to have mercy in his heart for the Christians, but she did not dare to have him baptized.Constantine grew up as a bold and skilful horseman. He went to his father who rejoiced in him when he saw that he was full of wisdom, knowledge, and skilled in riding. After his father's death he received the kingdom and ruled with justice and integrity, stopping many unfair practices. He was loved by the people and his righteous judgement spread throughout the Empire. The nobles of Rome sent word asking him to come and save them from the injustice of Maximianus. Constantine marched with his army toward Rome. During the war he saw in the sky, during the day, a Cross made of stars, and on it was written in Greek words which being interpreted as "With this you shall conquer." The light of the Cross was brighter than the any sun. He pointed it out to his ministers and the nobles of his kingdom. They read what was written, marvelled and they did not know for what reason that cross had appeared.That night the angel of the Lord appeared to Constantine in a vision and told him: "Make a sign for yourself like that sign which you had seen, and with it you shall conquer your enemies." The next morning, he prepared a large flag with the sign of the cross on it, and made the sign of the cross on all the armaments. Constantine defeated Maximianus and his army. As they retreated crossing the bridge over the Tiber river, the bridge broke and all perished. Constantine entered Rome and its people welcomed him with joy and gladness, praising the Honorable Cross, calling it the Savior of their city. This celebration of the Cross lasted seven days and Constantine became the Emperor of the East and West.In the eleventh year of his reign, which was the fourth year after the appearance of the Honorable Cross, Constantine and most of his soldiers, were baptized by the Pope. He sent throughout the kingdom a command to set free all those who were imprisoned for the sake of their faith. He further declared that the Christians should not work during the Passion week as the Apostles commanded.Then he sent his mother Helena to Jerusalem where she discovered the Holy Cross of Our Lord Christ.In the seventeenth year of his reign the Holy Council of the Three Hundred and Eighteen bishops assembled at Nicea in the year 325 A.D. which arranged the affairs of the Christians and put down the cannons of the church. He rebuilt the city of Byzantium and called it after his name "Constantinia" and he brought to it many of the bodies of the apostles and holy martyrs.He departed in the city of Nicomedia when he was seventy-five years old. He was laid in a gold sarcophagus, and was carried to Constantinia. The Patriarch, bishops, priests, and all the people received him with prayers, psalms, and spiritual hymns, and laid him in the sanctuary of the holy apostles.Lessons from this storyThere is this false perception that Christianity and being wealthy are polar opposites. It is not the wealth that is at odds with Christianity, but the use of it that at times goes against the true nature of being Christian. Money is a tool, just as talent, knowledge, and physical strength are. Tools to be ruled and controlled by the master not the other way around.Diocletian used is wealth and power to rid the world of the Christian belief while Constantine used his wealth and power to raise up the Christian belief. When Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem, and we laid the palm leaves on the ground chanting “Hosanna!”, the crowd believed Jesus was coming to free them from the bondage of the Romans and raise the kingdom of David once again. When Jesus did not do what they perceived was what they wanted, they turned on Him. Though in truth Jesus not only answered their cries for freedom from bondage, He gifted them everlasting freedom. But because we limited with human eyes and human perceptions we see things from a very limited perspective.Wealth provides influence not dominance. Many saints were born into wealth and privilege and turned away from them to seek a simpler life. Not because the wealth itself was evil, but it prevented them from being solely dependant on the Lord. God, through Emperor Constantine, expanded and organized the growing Christian faith - in human terms. Those organizational structures are the very foundations of the church as a whole to this day. But God used a good soul for His will to be done throughout history, just as He did with Mary, John the Baptist and so many more important foundational entities.Do not be driven by the love money, but seeing it for what it is - a tool. And like any good tool, when it is used right, good works come from it.PrayerLord we ask you to blessed the fields that the harvest is plentiful, to bless our labor that it never be in vain. Help us to always give thanks to you for everything, concerning everything and in everything. May the prayers and intercessions of Emperor Constantine be with us all, amen.

It seems the future of the Church, the future of the next Great and Holy Council (or the continuation of the one that has already begun) depends mostly on us, the people: the moms and dads, the brothers and sisters, the laity in general and the married priests and simple monastics. We're the one's whose holiness or lack thereof determines the holiness of tomorrow's generation of leaders in the Church.

The Church isn't run by a single person. Instead, we come together in councils to keep the Faith and guide the Church through challenges. From the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem (in the Book of Acts) through the upcoming Great and Holy Council, this spirit of togetherness opens us to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
