People don't choose darkness. We are born in darkness and separated from the Light of Christ. People choose to remain in darkness, and this choice is often connected to what they do in darkness. When we choose the Light, we must be willing to expose our works to the Light. For many, this is not an option, and so they remain in the darkness. Join us today at 11 AM as Pastor Russ continues his series in Romans 3:1-20.

This week on CounterSpin: News site Popular Information alerted us to new Social Security Administration policy effectively requiring tens of thousands of recipients, by the agency's own estimation, to travel to a field office to verify their ID. An internal memo predicts the shift will create “service disruption,” “operational strain,” and “budget shortfalls” — unsurprising, given concurrent staffing cuts and field office closures. The inevitable harms will no doubt be declared part of a necessary attempt to purge “fraud” from the system that has disbursed earned benefits to elderly and disabled people for generations. Journalists have choices. They can, as did the Record-Journal of Meriden, Connecticut, report that the cuts derive from repeated claims of fraud from Elon Musk that are “without evidence,” that Trump echoes Musk's “unfounded statements,” and then quote a retiree advocate noting that accusations of loads of dead folks collecting benefits are “baseless,” and put the words “fact sheet” in appropriate irony quotes when describing a missive from the White House. Or you can go the route of the Arizona Republic, and lead with the notion that the interference in Social Security is most importantly part of Musk's “implementing … measures to trim costs throughout the government.” Mention that the actions have “stirred a range of emotions, from cautious hope that the federal government might finally bring its deficit spending under control, to frantic fears that benefit cuts could undermine the financial or health security of millions of Americans” go on to ask, earnestly, “Where does Trump stand on Social Security and other benefits?” and begin with a White House statement “reiterating that the president supports these programs.” In paragraph 19, you might throw in that public polling shows that “most Americans would favor revenue increases rather than benefit cuts to Social Security,” which would include “requiring high-income individuals to pay taxes on more of their earnings.” In short, easily verified facts, along with “most Americans,” can be centered or tangential in your reporting on the drastic, opaque changes aimed at the program that keeps the wolf from the door for millions of people but for Musk/Trump represents yet another pile of money they feel belongs to them and theirs. All that's in the balance are human lives and health, and the ability of working people to plan for our futures. We'll talk about the new, yet also old, attacks on Social Security with Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at recent media coverage of Mahmoud Khalil, deportations and the FTC.   The post Nancy Altman on Social Security Attacks appeared first on KPFA.

Episode 42 - Running In The Family:   On this week's pod we have the return of two special guests from the newly named  @Q.OnTheRun  Todd Quiney and Karl Quiney. They kindly give up an hour and a half of their Friday evening before Karl shoots off to eat his pasta bake to recap their marathon at Chester and chat about recent training for cross country season and their upcoming target races. Brett then does some shameless promotion of his recent printing work before the chat turns to the long run bonus episode, training weeks, Alton Towers half marathon, Parkrun world records, the escape from Meriden ultra and finish up with 'The Strava Segment'.   Question of the pod:   What is your favourite pasta bake?   Do you have a question for the pod? If so, comment on the YouTube video, send us a message on Instagram or email it to runningtheredlinepod@gmail.com   As runners, we all challenge ourselves in ways we never thought possible. Pushing the boundaries of what we're capable of to smash through targets and set ourselves new bigger and better ones.   This awesome hobby we share gives us one thing in common and it brings us together as a community. Whether you're working towards completing your first Parkrun, or you're a veteran of the sport who's run 100 ultra marathons, we all know the feeling of reaching that maxed out effort and our own Red Line.   Welcome to our podcast where your hosts Brett Elesmore and Andy Maguire discuss the struggles, the successes and everything in-between on our running journeys as we all work towards the next time we're Running The Red Line...   Andy's Channel: @itsonandy Brett's Channel: @ob1brand

Stewart escaped Meriden! We can finally hear all about this race that has been over a year in the making. Good news, it was miserable. Amy's been taking advantage of her car-based freedom by going to one single new place over and over again, and still can't pronounce names.

Just one more episode until Meriden so we're getting into the best bits of any race, the map, the plan and the admin! We've also got some great ultra food ideas from our listeners which are uncharacteristically helpful. Amy also has the least scariest running story you'll ever hear, just in time to have missed Halloween.

Happy All Saints' Day, Slackers!Being from New England, I think it is somewhat ingrained in us that there are things that do go bump in the night.There are many areas throughout the region that are known to have horrors both man made and of the (allegedly) supernatural variety. The Borden family comes to mind.After watching a few of the Conjuring movies, I was reminded of other events in New England, as well as New York state - with Amityville being an almost mythically scary place in my childhood. In particular, how one scene in the Hollywood adaptation played out in my own home! This week is a bit of a mash up of movies, history, architecture, geography, the paranormal, and one story of teenage me and some friends being stupid.

Jimmy went to New York Comic Con (NYCC) last week and got about 12 interviews and 1 press room. Producer Joe even got an interview in! In this episode, you'll hear from some of Jimmy's fellow Filipinos on this here Filipino American History Month. First, Jimmy follows up with his Kwento Comics interviews from SDCC and chats with Meriden Angeles about the new Kickstarter, new publisher and Meriden's acting career. He also talked to Rev Valdez about his adorable children's book BUNSO MEETS A MUMU, Filipino myths and fave foods. Thanks to both! Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!

New COVID boosters are available and recommended for everyone over six months of age, but pharmacies and providers in the state are slammed. The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) says that more than 46,000 residents have gotten the latest COVID-19 vaccine.

In August of1895 — a spooky specter around Booth Pond was seen by dozens of locals prompting an investigative journalist to try to uncover the truth behind the mystery that made headlines.

For the final episode of 2022, I met with some of the Kwento Comics team (the first all-women, all-Asian comic book company highlighting Filipino and Asian mythology through the medium of graphic novels) as they shared some of their unsettling paranormal experiences, because sometimes the truth is creepier than fiction. First, Meriden speaks of her sleep paralysis demons. Then, Kuri recalls when her cousin was the target of an Engkanto prince's infatuation. And finally, Cecilia shares a spirit's cry for help at the Cathedral Basilica of St Augustine.
