I was stuck in the lab.M: You missed a really good game.Our school team played very well. (Text 2)W: Did you hear the weather forecast for tomorrow? Is it going to be windy?M: No, there will be clouds in the morning, and heavy showers in the afternoon and the evening. (Text 3)M: Hey, let's go for a picnic somewhere this weekend.W: Good idea. Can Jack go with us? He's tired of taking exams these past two weeks.M: I don't think so. He's going on a trip this weekend with his school. (Text 4)M: Hello, is this Emma? This is Robert Gellen from Johnson's Electronics.W: Hello, Robert, what can I do for you?M: It's this visit by Mr.Johnson. I'm afraid he's had an emergency and won't be able to make it this time. (Text 5)M: Did you wait long?W: No, just two minutes. How was the flight?M: It was fine, thanks. I slept through the whole flight actually and I feel much better. (Text 6)M: I'm starving. What are we having for dinner tonight, Jane?W: I'm not sure. Something will come to mind once I start.M: I feel like eating French Fries or maybe a ham sandwich. How about you?W: Actually, I was thinking of making something healthy, say ... fish and vegetables.M: Well, in that case, I'll have whatever you make.(Text 7)W: Hello, George, I heard that you're going to Milan for a business trip next week.M: Yes, Susan, I'm also planning a trip to Rome for sightseeing after that.W: Oh, I'm just back from Rome.The city has made some new rules.M: Really? What rules?W: For example, people who dress up as Roman soldiers in charge of photos won't be allowed near tourist spots,and street performers can't sing or play their music on public transport.Another rule bans tourists from eating in public places.M: That's good. Eating in public is inappropriate and could lead to littering.W: Rome isn't the only city to do that. Last year, Florence made a rule saying that tourists would face fines of up to 500 euros if caught eating in the street.M: Wow, that's big money, but it's understandable. (Text 8)W: Hi, Frank. I heard you plan to withdraw from the speech class. Can you tell me why?M: Well, Ms. McDaniel, I don't think I can make it. Public speaking scares me. I just can't get in front of a group and talk.

I once asked my students what they would do if someone in class forgot a word or made a mistake. They said they would feel bad for the speaker for they knew they would be in the speaker's shoes some day.Does that make you feel better?M: Yeah, I guess.W: I hope you'll stay in the class, and try a bit more.M: Okay. Thanks, Ms. McDaniel.(Text 9)M: How many applications did we get, Mary?W: Well, overall we got over 200.M: Wow, that many!W: Yes, but most of which we can reject right away, people who don't have the right experience, qualifications,that kind of thing.M: Of course. W: And so, I drew up a short list of 12 candidates.M: Are we going to interview all of them?W: I think we should. But certainly, I'll let you have a look first.M: Great, so, who will we get then?W: Well, I think we have got some pretty strong candidates. Two in particular.M: They have the right kind of qualification? W: I certainly say so. A strong educational background, experience in sales, language skills ...M: Good. Look forward to meeting all of them.W: So, I'd say we do a set interview for that.M: Sure.W: A few general questions, then onto specifics. We could also ask them to give a short presentation.M: Great. I'm really looking forward to this.(Text 10)W: Welcome back, everyone. This is CB8 News Radio. Here comes something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Terra Gallo, Cumberland, got some unexpected news when she received a handwritten letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle had been found in Spain. Gallo and her sister put messages into bottles and threw them into the ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island three years ago. The girls had forgotten about the bottles until they were surprised by the fisherman's letter. Gallo, now 14, studied the maps and discovered her message traveled about 3,000 miles. Gallo's message asked that whoever got her bottle should put their own message inside with hers and send it back out to sea. The fisherman said in his letter that he had carried out her wishes.

Two witnesses with nothing in common except the same case took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.First up was Angela Krause, general manager of the CVS in Kingston. She testified Clancy called the pharmacy herself asking about a specific medication. Investigators later came back with a separate request — surveillance footage from the day Patrick Clancy picked that same prescription up. Two visits, two different things police wanted to see.Then came Saria Sweeney Shelgren, a hostess at ThreeV restaurant in Plymouth, who was working the night of the killings. She testified Clancy called in an order and that her voice wasn't slurred or impaired. A man came in to collect it. Small detail, deliberate purpose — prosecutors are spending their time building an hour-by-hour account of that evening, and a clear-headed phone order doesn't leave much room for a narrative of total collapse.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This podcast dives deep into the weird, the unexplained, and the real-world news that only makes sense after dark. From mind-bending conspiracies about fast-food "spaghetti chicken," secret human meat, and whether the New York subway was actually "found" instead of built, to hard-hitting geopolitical analysis on Middle East oil prices, no topic is off-limits. Grab a Hostess orange cupcake and tune in.

Can a brand built on purpose survive when its mission is put at risk?  The hosts dive into the escalating conflict between Ben & Jerry's and its parent company over funding cuts to the ice cream maker's philanthropic foundation, debating whether a brand so closely tied to a social mission can preserve its identity after acquisition and how the dispute could influence consumer loyalty in an increasingly competitive premium ice cream category.  The discussion also examines how founders should approach purpose-driven branding, with early-stage sparkling water brand Atomico serving as an example of a young company that integrates its mission into its business without overshadowing the product itself.  The hosts also sample and review a variety of emerging products, including South Chicago Packing's Wagyu Beef Tallow Spray, Cozy's refrigerated snack bars made with grass-fed butter, Bakeful's better-for-you brownies, muffins and donuts, MixMix THC beverage stick packs, and Muffits protein mini muffins. Show notes: 0:20: On Tap. Social Scoops No More? Space Age Sparkling Water. Tallow & Butter. Munchin' On Muffins. The hosts preview two upcoming community events: the Taste Radio Chicago Meetup at Pilot Project Brewing on Aug. 13 and a Nombase webinar featuring executives from Goodles and Culture Pop on July 28. They then explore whether a purpose-driven brand can preserve its identity after being acquired, and how changes to its philanthropic commitments could reshape consumer perception. As a counterpoint, they spotlight an emerging functional sparkling water brand that supports STEM education through NASA Space Camp scholarships. Later, Melissa highlights a beefy cooking spray, Ray shares a pair of brands—one making better-for-you yet indulgent snack bars and another reimagining Hostess-style treats for today's consumers. Mike stirs things up with powdered drink mixes, and the episode wraps with a discussion of protein snacks—because, of course, it does. Brands in this episode: Goodles, Culture Pop, Nantucket Nectars, Annie's, Ben & Jerry's, Stonyfield, Jeni's, Van Leeuwens, Salt & Straw, Tillamook, Atomico, Spindrift, South Chicago Packing, COZY, Bakeful, MixMix, Muffits

Tune in to hear Walter and his eclectic callers vent about what exactly "rattled" them today—from the six-hour nightmare of setting up a Wi-Fi printer and ESPN's constant firing of controversial commentators, to ruined grocery store lobster tails leaking black ink and the tragically shrinking size of Hostess orange cupcakes. Stick around as the conversation derails into deep dives on WNBA marketing fumbles,the Whiting Pierogi Festival, the bizarre trend of expensive blue drinks, and callers who are utterly convinced Canadian wildfires are actually 6G-powered chemtrail attacks. It's petty grievances, late-night laughs, and midnight misfits all rolled into one absurd, unpredictable hour.

Step into the weird and wonderful world of The Other Side of Midnight with host Walter Sterling, the perfect late-night companion for night owls who don't quite fit in and prefer it that way. Broadcasting to a loyal club of listeners known as the "Midnight Misfits," Walter tackles everything from highly relatable everyday grievances—like the absolute agony of setting up a new Wi-Fi printer, the tragedy of ruined lobster tails, and the mystery of missing morning newspaper deliveries.But that's just the beginning—join Walter and his eccentric callers as they plunge headfirst into wild conspiracy theories, arguing that the Canadian wildfires are actually chemical burns meant to clear land for data centers, and discussing government UFO drops and chemtrails. Featuring bizarre news stories (like FBI raids on local strip clubs), deep-dives into alternative history about mud floods and hidden giants, and unapologetic confessions about eating gas station chicken and Hostess orange cupcakes in secret, this show embraces the beautiful chaos of the night.

Walter tackles the "tragedy" of modern, ugly SUV designs, the lost art of the American-made sedan, and why car technology like Bluetooth never seems to work. Between reviewing bizarre test-market snack cakes—like the elusive Peanut Butter Hostess cupcake and red, white, and blue Oreos—and confessing to his impulsive, useless TikTok purchases, Walter takes lively listener calls on classic cars, junkyard adventures, and the glory days of triangle vent windows. 

Join Walter Sterling for a wild, unpredictable late-night ride through the strange and mundane. In this eclectic hour, Walter chats with Ancient Aliens voice Robert Clotworthy about government UFO disinformation, unearthing hidden chambers in the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the absolute guilty pleasure of secretly eating Hostess orange cupcakes in the car. The midnight madness continues with Walter's hilarious rants about demanding "too much mayonnaise" at the deli, the agonizing etiquette of staying in an un-air-conditioned guest room & of course... Buc-ee's. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Marshall introduces wealthy executive Robert Bayswell, a man whose endless "business trips" to New York have quietly covered a five-year affair with his mistress, Lolly "Dolores" Harbison. When Bayswell decides to end the relationship and return to his wife Martha, a struggle over a loaded .38 revolver sets a chain of events in motion — one that draws in nightclub photographer Julie Palmer and homicide detective Sergeant DeLuca, both circling a death no one can quite explain.2000 Plus delivers the science-gone-wrong terror of "The Giant Walks," in which the obsessed Dr. Ellsworth, having used a pituitary revitalizer to breed giant rats four feet long, sets his sights on the next logical subject — a human being. His powerfully built test subject Barstow is grown to thirty feet of muscle and bone, while uneasy assistant Weston watches the experiment spiral past anything Ellsworth can hope to control.The Unexpected stars radio's Lurene Tuttle in "Nightmare," the tale of understudy actress Jenny, who answers her door to a hideous, dwarf-like old peddler selling two dolls — one that cries and one that laughs. Against the peddler's strange warning, she chooses the laughing doll, and its contagious, mocking laughter begins to follow her everywhere she goes, into the theater, the subway, and her sleepless nights.Unsolved Mysteries presents a true-style ghost story told by foreign correspondent Jackson, who recalls a visit to a centuries-old medieval castle in Northumberland, England, complete with drawbridge, moat, and turrets — and its resident phantom, the Lady Evelyn, said to warn the family of any impending disaster. Sleeping in the haunted wing, Jackson is roused by a figure who writes a message in letters of fire across the stone wall, a warning tied to the RMS Titanic.Dark Venture stars William Conrad in "Hideout," the confession of small-time gambler Sam, who sits in on one of Phil Collins's famous high-stakes poker games, wins and loses a fortune, and ends the night shooting political big shot Mike Barnes. Fleeing to Chicago and a rooming house run by Dave Jordan, Sam stumbles into a carnival fortune teller, Madame Zara, who reads the cards and tells him he will die within three days at the hands of a man with white hair — just as hired killer Whitey Burke begins closing in.The Weird Circle summons its bellkeeper for the immortal Robert Louis Stevenson tale "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," in which Dr. Henry Jekyll brews a potion meant to separate the good and evil halves of a single man. The draught gives life to the stooped, deformed, and wholly malevolent Edward Hyde, who terrorizes the streets of London while lawyer Mr. Utterson, Dr. Lanyon, and the faithful butler Poole try to understand what their friend has unleashed.The Whistler brings the Signal-sponsored noir "Danger Is a Beautiful Blonde," as bored construction engineer Van Stevens, killing time in a small coast city on a Saturday night, is picked up on the street by a beautiful young blonde in a slick convertible. She drives him to a seaside mansion full of priceless art, and the flirtation turns to ice the moment she asks him to look under her bed — where a dead man lies hidden.Strange Wills stars distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William as attorney John Francis O'Connell in "Madman's Diary," a probate-court reading of the last testament of the late Professor Lucifer Nicolai. The diary records the professor's decade-long obsession: an electromagnetic experiment to separate the human mind from the body and hurl it backward along light waves into the past. His subject, a young orphan named Alice, is sent first to the age of King Arthur and Guinevere, then far deeper — a quarter-million years before Christ.The Witch's Tale, narrated by 122-year-old Nancy, the Witch of Salem, and her wise black cat Satan, tells "The Haunted Crossroads," where state troopers keep dying at a barren Massachusetts intersection — each one stabbed in the back in a spot so open no killer could possibly reach him and flee unseen. After young Trooper Tom Fallon falls beside his uncle Sergeant Pat McGee and friend Gene Hardy, the only clue is a woman's cold laughter in the dark and a curse reaching back to 1721 and a hanged woman named Goody Fairfax.X Minus One, hosted by Isaac Asimov, presents "Hostess," the story of biologist Rose Smollett, who brings home a guest from another world — the Hawkinsite physician Dr. Harg Tolan, a six-limbed being who breathes cyanide from a cylinder at his mouth. Tolan has come to Earth to study the dreaded "inhibition death," the wasting illness that kills his people, and his quiet questions about the missing persons bureau begin to unsettle Rose's policeman husband, Drake.Masters of Mystery offers the island thriller "Four Fatal Jugglers," in which business partners Gordon Penrose and Dave Copeland — tangled together by Gordon's wife Lydia and her demands for a divorce — head off for a weekend of duck hunting on a tiny, isolated island in the middle of a lake. Lydia's protective brother Bob is drawn in too, and with old grudges, suspicions of murder-by-hunting-accident, and a hunting knife in play, the trip becomes a deadly game of who can be trusted.Strange Adventure closes the night with a desert tale of two weather-beaten prospectors, gangling Slim Sandstone and his stocky partner Geordie Gaines, who walk into the bank of George Alden and deposit a canvas sack half-filled with uncut diamonds. Their secret field out on the desert is rich beyond belief, and the greedy banker schemes to maneuver the pair out of their claim — never suspecting what a salted diamond strike can teach a smart financial tycoon.

“I considered it elder abuse. She put him through the paces, not only before the debate, but after. She should have gotten him out of there immediately.” — Sally Quinn on Jill Biden and the debate Today's guest is amongst America's most verbal octogenarians. No, not you-know-who. Sally Quinn is the illustrious Washington DC hostess, writer and commentator. The almost 85-year-old does improv comedy every Sunday, ballroom dancing every week and Zen Buddhist meditation every Monday night. Her novel, Silent Retreat, is now out in paperback. And she's working on her memoir, tentatively entitled Never Invite Sally Quinn. Certainly Jill Biden won't be inviting Sally Quinn any time soon to one of her tête-à-têtes. Quinn's account of what went wrong with the Biden presidency is sharply personal. Her late husband, legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, had dementia. She watched his cognitive decline from inside, and the parallels with what she observed in Biden were, she tells me, too close for comfort. Jill Biden's decision to keep Joe running after the debate, when she privately suspected he'd suffered a stroke, was, in Quinn's word, “elder abuse.” Silent Retreat, set at a monastery in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, is about the sexiness of silence. A prize-winning reporter and the venerable Archbishop of Dublin fall in love in enforced silence. Anything but elder abuse. But autobiographical? Probably not. As Ben Bradlee used to tease her over breakfast, it's always been hard for not-silent-Sally to keep her mouth shut. Five Takeaways •       The Army Brat Who Became Washington's Most Powerful Hostess: Quinn grew up as an army brat, moving from posting to posting with her military father. She arrived in Washington after college, did a stint as social secretary to the Algerian ambassador, and was then hired by Ben Bradlee to write for the Washington Post's new Style section — the first style section in the history of American journalism. She and Bradlee eventually married. Their home in Georgetown became the hub of Washington's social and political life for decades. She describes herself not as a powerhouse but as someone who “really lucked out.” An army brat who knew how to work a room. •       Gerontocracy Is Real — But People Who Keep Going Are Different: Quinn agrees with Samuel Moyn that American gerontocracy is a genuine problem: people who lose their cognitive sharpness should not be running organizations or countries, and the tragedy is that no one can know in advance who will lose it and who won't. But she draws a distinction: the problem is not old people, it's old people who have stopped growing. She surrounds herself with younger people, particularly younger journalists, because of their energy, idealism, and optimism. She is still working full time. The issue is not age. It's vitality. •       Biden and Jill: Elder Abuse: Quinn's account of the Biden presidency is the most personal Andrew has heard. Her husband Ben Bradlee had dementia. She knows the signs. She watched Biden lose it, got a knot in her stomach every time he spoke publicly. The debate was her worst nightmare. Everyone in the White House knew what was happening and wasn't telling the truth. And Jill Biden — who now admits she thought he had had a stroke after the debate — raised his arm in a victory salute the next day and took him off to campaign in North Carolina. Quinn's verdict: “I considered it elder abuse.” •       Silent Retreat: A New Yorker Writer and an Archbishop Fall in Love in Enforced Silence: The novel grew from Quinn's own annual visits to a Trappist monastery in Virginia's Berryville. She is a woman who once failed to stay quiet for three days — or so her husband thought — and who found to her surprise that she loved it. The novel: a prize-winning reporter whose marriage is falling apart, and an Archbishop of Dublin whose faith is in crisis, check into the same monastery for a silent retreat. They can't speak to each other. They speak to the monk instead. The novel is told through those confessions. Kirkus: “an unholy brew of lust and faith.” Airmail: “a bodice ripper with a fillip of Roman Catholic ritual.” •       Improv, Ballroom Dancing, Zen Buddhism, and Dinner by Candlelight: Quinn's account of how she stays alive at 84 is the most energetic thing in this conversation. Improv comedy every Sunday for two and a half hours — performances after the class, with people half her age. Ballroom dancing every week. Zen Buddhist meditation every Monday night for two hours. Working out every day. Writing her Washington memoir. And hosting small dinner parties — six or eight people, candlelight, good food, a lot of wine — as a form of community-building in what she calls the toxic environment of today's Washington. The memoir's title: Never Invite Sally Quinn. Andrew has already secured an invitation to the next dinner party. About the Guest Sally Quinn is a longtime Washington Post journalist, columnist, television commentator, Washington insider, and one of Washington's legendary social hostesses. She is the author of Silent Retreat (Simon & Schuster), Finding Magic, The Party, Happy Endings, Regrets Only, and We're Going to Make You a Star. She was the founder and moderator of On Faith, the Washington Post's religion website. She lives in Georgetown, Washington DC. References: •       Silent Retreat by Sally Quinn (Simon & Schuster).

Welcome to the graveyard shift! Join Walter Sterling on The Other Side of Midnight for a hilariously unhinged ride through the late-night thoughts of fellow introverts, freaks, and misfits. In this episode, Walter tackles the truly important issues: the secret shame of eating Hostess orange cupcakes and independent gas station chicken alone in your parked car, why the ultimate marriage test is surviving the grocery store together, and the infuriating trend of parents refusing to put winter coats on their babies. Dave Scott from Spaced Out Radio drops by to discuss the government's latest UAP file dump and why officials might be hiding alien contact out of sheer panic. Plus, Walter takes a wild detour into classic stripper names, an ancient Sumerian tablet that proves your pet cat is actually an alien guardian deployed to protect us from "unhoused" spirits, and a deep dive into Alicia Silverstone's claims about elite Hollywood cannibals.

Und es überstrahlt das, was im Dunkeln verborgen liegt. Im Frühjahr 2000 kommen Lucie und ihre beste Freundin Louise in die japanische Hauptstadt. Sie suchen nicht nur das Abenteuer, sondern auch einen schnellen Ausweg aus ihren Schulden. Im Vergnügungsviertel Roppongi fangen beide in einem Hostessen-Club an. Doch nach einem Date verschwindet eine der Frauen und es beginnt eine Spurensuche im Schatten der Neonreklamen.

ITL uses data to settle one of the biggest snack arguments around.

ITL with John Lopez, Figgy, and Luke Mauro filling in for Reggie Adetula reacts to the latest Eastern Conference Finals action between the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers, with Lopez explaining why he has become a huge fan of Josh Hart and what makes certain players impossible not to appreciate. The guys also debate concerns surrounding the Houston Texans defensive line after comments from Rod Wright on Texans All Access sparked questions about expectations for the unit. Around The NFL features discussion on Matthew Stafford landing another major contract extension and what it means for the quarterback market, while Brandon Scott joins the show to explain why he is especially excited about Houston's rookie class and which newcomers could make an immediate impact. Luke Mauro also raises a bigger-picture concern about the Houston Astros, arguing that the franchise's incredible eight-year run may have been a rare outlier that fans should not expect to see repeated. The crew debates whether Houston's dynasty permanently changed expectations or if fans need to reset what success looks like. Lunch-Time Confessions takes a turn when Lopez admits he does not think Luke's nickname works, leading to another hilarious debate. ITL also settles one of the most important issues facing society today: Little Debbie versus Hostess, using actual data to determine a winner. The show wraps up by grading the best and worst offseason moves made by the AFC South, including the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Titans, before Figgy's Mixtape dives into bizarre local news interviews, movie clichés that never happen in real life, and more internet chaos. Plus, the QOTD asks listeners: what's the weirdest thing you've ever seen a coach do—or had a coach make you do?

ITL with Luke Mauro filling in for Reggie Adetula debates the future of the Houston Astros after Luke makes the case that Houston's incredible eight-year run may simply be a historic outlier that fans should never expect to see replicated again. The guys discuss whether the Astros dynasty permanently changed expectations in Houston or if fans need to recalibrate what sustained success actually looks like in modern baseball. Then in Lunch-Time Confessions, John Lopez admits he doesn't think Luke's nickname quite lands the way it's supposed to, sparking another hilarious back-and-forth. To close the hour, ITL tackles one of the most important debates of our time: Little Debbie or Hostess? Armed with actual data, the guys attempt to settle the snack cake war once and for all.

Laura describes feeling powerless as an actor and deciding to create her own work after living in Los Angeles for nearly three years, with wildfires raging and Trump newly inaugurated, leading her to write the script in a week and produce her first “real” film. They discuss designing the project around practical constraints (woods location, small cast, one day, limited costume changes) while still aiming big for the genre, and Laura's priority of creating a safe, fun set that strengthens relationships and took care of the team. Laura calls crowdfunding the hardest part, recounting constant posting, emotional strain, and mixed results despite support and a stranger's $1,000 pledge.

From hostess at Hooters at 17 to vice president by 26, to leading a multi-billion dollar restaurant empire through the pandemic, Kat's path defies every traditional playbook. The conversation covers how crisis sharpens leadership into an arrow, why Kat's “Hotshot Rule” has been a weekly practice for nearly two decades, and how AG1 quietly spent two years shoring up operations and clinical science before unleashing a wave of launches — new products, new flavors, a Costco debut, and Hugh Jackman — in a single six-month run. They also dig into the Athletic Greens to AG1 rebrand, what it really means to stay close to your customer when you're fully remote, and why Kat believes product quality is the most underrated growth strategy in the game.

In this episode, we continue our series on the Garden of Our Hearts and talk about the cultivation of beauty. Beauty has the power to transform, heal, and lift us into communion with God, but it must be cultivated with care and intention. We discuss what it means to co-create with God, slow down and savor little moments, and rediscover beauty in the people closest to us. Even when the world around us feels barren or artificial, the Lord invites us to see beauty with new eyes and let the Holy Spirit reveal His presence in unexpected ways.   Heather's One Thing - The Catechism of the Catholic Church designed by Every Sacred Sunday Heather's Other One Thing - I Am Held by Pat Barrett Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Carmelite Monks' New Monastery in Wyoming Michelle's One Thing - Word on Fire's Evangelization and Culture Journal - Issue 25 on Beauty Michelle's Other One Thing - The Story of All Stories: A Story Bible for Young Catholics by Emily Stimpson Chapman   Other Resources Mentioned:  Passion and Purpose Podcast Episode 5 with Jon Tyson and Louie Giglio Word on Fire and Ascension will publish the new English edition of the Liturgy of the Hours   Journal Questions: How am I uniquely gifted at cultivating beauty? When have you had an experience with beauty that transformed your heart? What lies and limitations do I believe about my own creativity? How does God want to play with me in the dirt this week? In what ways am I too busy for creativity and beauty? What beauty does the Lord want to show you - both within you and outside of you?   Discussion Questions: Have you come across AI art recently? How did you respond to it? In what ways have you limited your own creativity? Who or what inspires you to be more creative? How will you cultivate beauty and express creativity in your life?   Quotes to Ponder:  "Every expression of true beauty can thus be acknowledged as a path leading to an encounter with the Lord Jesus."  -Pope Francis    "We must wonder! We must create an environment of wonder! We must create a climate of wonder! This task is closest to the family. . . . Wonder is needed so that beauty might enter into human life, into society and the nation. This beauty is the foundation and the creative moment of the culture. It is impossible to create culture by administrative means. These means can only destroy it. . . . We need to marvel at everything that is found in man." (Saint Pope John Paul II)   Scripture for Lectio: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
