Keeper of Lost Children is the latest work of historical fiction by Sadeqa Johnson. The novel is told from three vantage points and follows the story of mixed-race children orphaned in Germany after WWII. At the heart of the novel is Ethel Gathers, a character based on a real-life woman named Mabel Grammer. In today's episode, Johnson tells NPR's Emily Kwong about the Google search that inspired her novel and how she views the responsibility of writing historical fiction.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayTo manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What does Jesus promise on the night before the cross? In John 14, during the final evening with His disciples, Jesus speaks some of the most comforting and powerful words in the New Testament. He reveals who He is, what will continue after He leaves, what He promises, and what He gives to His followers. In this sermon from Covenant Church Doylestown, we explore: What it means that Jesus reveals the Father How believers continue the works of Christ What it means to pray in Jesus' name The promise of the Holy Spirit (the Helper) Why Jesus says, “I will not leave you as orphans” How Jesus manifests Himself through love and obedience The gift of messianic and covenantal peace Jesus promises His presence, His Spirit, and His peace. And He calls His followers to live on mission with confidence.

 When Adam and Eve stepped outside the garden, they didn't just lose a home — they lost a sense of belonging. And ever since, their children have carried that ache. Today, we're talking about why so many believers still feel like outsiders, and how the Father brings us home.  Connect with us: YouTube: YouTube.com/@soul02-oxygen Facebook: @LP.Oxygen https://www.facebook.com/LP.Oxygen Instagram: LP.Oxygen Twitter: @Soul025 Buzzsprout: Soul02-Buzzsprout Spotify: Soul02 - Spotify Apple: Soul02-Itunes Stitcher: Soul02-Stitcher

When this Tom Waits song turned up during the closing credits of the latest “Knives Out” movie, Wake Up Dead Man, we heard shouts from all around the Floodisphere: “Whoa! What a great tune that would be for The Flood!”We agree. We only wish we'd thought of it earlier. After all, “Come On Up to the House” has been around for more than a quarter of a century, appearing as the closing track on Waits' 1999 Grammy-winning Mule Variations album. Oh, but how our late co-founder Dave Peyton would have loved to have had a piece of this goofy/gritty gospel groove!A Little Waitsian ExegesisTom Waits, one of the world's smartest songwriters, created a tune chock full of literary and philosophical references, as well as clever cultural shout-outs.Country music lovers, for instance — at least those with long memories — will recognize a kiss being tossed in Tom's repeated line in the chorus: “The world is not my home, I'm just passing through.” Don't get it? Think all the way back to 1962 and to the great Jim Reeves crooning: This world is not my home, I'm just a-passin' through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.But ”Come On Up to the House” has more on its agenda than simply quoting 60-year-old classics. Waits surely is the only songwriter in the house to zip from 20th century country cool to 17th century political philosophy.What? It's true. By the second verse, the lyrics are reaching back to source material predating Jim Reeves by a good three centuries. Philosophy students perk up when “House” takes a moment to direct our attention to Thomas Hobbes' famously dark assessment of human life: “Nasty, brutish and short.”A Peyton-Worthy Punch LineThe song's funniest, sassiest lines — the ones Dave Peyton certainly would have relished — have the most obscure provenance. Who doesn't smile when Waits' lyrics get to this entreaty: Come down off the cross — We can use the wood!This bit of irreverent humor generally is attributed to the late comedian/satirist Bill Hicks, whom Waits once described as being “like a reverend waving a gun around.”While there's no evidence that the “cross/wood” lines are original with Hicks — some think Lenny Bruce might have fashioned them a couple of decades earlier — it is for sure that Bill popularized the comment in his stand-up routines in the 1980s and early 1990s.And we do know that Tom Waits is a big Bill Hicks fan. In fact, a few years ago when someone asked him to compile a list of his all-time favorite albums, Tom put Hicks' 1990s Rant in E Minor in his top 20.Waits on WaitsFinally, “Come On Up to the House” also has a sample of Tom Waits sampling Tom Waits.The song's line “whipped by the forces that are inside of you” was used in another Waits' song — “Spidey's Wild Ride” — released on 2006's Orphans, Brawlers, Bawlers & B******s album. (This album compiled outtakes that were recorded from 1984 to 2005, so it is possible that song was written before “Come on Up to the House.”)For certain we know that a variation on the line came up in a 2002 newspaper article. Austin Chronicle writer Margaret Moser, interviewing Tom over the phone, asked the songwriter where he was as they spoke. “I'm out on my own recognizance in the day room,” Waits replied, “gluing pieces of macaroni on cardboard and painting it gold. After that I get to make a belt that says, ‘Whipped by the forces within me' on the back.”Ah, aren't we all, Tom? Aren't we all…?More Gospel from The Flood?If all this has you craving a little gospelizing by the boys in the band, remember The Gospel Hour playlist in The Flood's free Radio Floodango music streaming service.

In the wake of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, countless individuals around the world searched for ways to respond. For Marlene Kolangi, a New York-based fashion designer and entrepreneur, the answer was clear: dedicate her life to helping the children left behind. Kolangi, founder of the successful bridal and modest fashion brand Kaituz in Queens, is widely known in the modest fashion and wig communities for her custom designs that empower women to feel beautiful and confident. But after October 7, her professional focus took a dramatic turn. Deeply shaken by the terrorist attacks and the devastating toll on Israeli families, Kolangi founded Israel Orphans of 10/7, an organization devoted exclusively to supporting children who lost one or both parents in the massacre and subsequent war. Appearing on Episode 47 of the Alan Skorski Reports podcast, Kolangi shared how the tragedy transformed her life and mission. “I couldn't just sit back,” she explained. “These children lost everything in a single day. They need more than sympathy — they need stability, support, and a future.” Her organization provides both immediate and long-term assistance, including: Emergency financial aid for basic needs Long-term savings accounts for each orphan Funding for life milestones such as bar and bat mitzvahs, education, and weddings Emotional care services, including play therapy and personalized support Kolangi emphasized that her work goes beyond writing checks. She personally travels to Israel, meeting families face-to-face, listening to their stories, and delivering assistance directly — whether through funds, gift cards, clothing, or ongoing personal relationships. “The most important thing is dignity,” she said. “These children should not feel forgotten. They should feel embraced by the entire Jewish people.” A single mother herself, Kolangi has been profiled in several Jewish media outlets, including Arutz Sheva, The Jewish Link, and VINnews, where she has been described as a “superhero” for transforming her business platform into a vehicle for communal healing. She also speaks at Jewish inspirational gatherings and communal events, including Project Inspire, where she encourages others to turn pain into purpose. According to Kolangi, the mission is long-term. While global attention may shift, the needs of October 7's youngest victims remain. “This is not a six-month project,” she noted. “These children will grow up with this loss. We are committed to walking with them for years — through school, through milestones, through life.” Supporters can learn more or contribute to Israel Orphans of 10/7 through its fundraising platform, often linked via CauseMatch under the Healing Heroes campaign. As the Jewish world continues to grapple with the aftermath of October 7, Kolangi's work stands as a powerful example of grassroots leadership — channeling heartbreak into hope, and tragedy into tangible action for Israel's most vulnerable. -VIN News Donations can be made through: https://causematch.com/healingheroes Contact the Organization: info@israelorphansof10seven.org Subscribe to Alan Skorski Reports: www.youtube.com/@AlanSkorskiReports Alan Skorski Reports 12FEB2026 - PODCAST

He has the power to fix what everyone else must endure, yet every use of that power risks ending the quiet life he has built.

God's love never lets go—even through failure, loss, and shame—redeeming what can feel beyond repair. In this deeply moving episode, Terri Lynn-Corbett shares her journey through rejection, broken relationships, and painful questions, revealing how God proved Himself faithful, present, and powerfully restoring.Through seasons marked by heartbreak and disappointment, Terri discovered that our mistakes do not cancel God's plans. Instead, He specializes in restoring what has been broken and rebuilding lives on the firm foundation of His love. Like the Samaritan woman at the well, Terri encountered Jesus not with condemnation, but with compassion—inviting her to come boldly, baggage and all, and receive true healing and identity.What once felt like ashes became beauty as God replaced sorrow with joy, fear with hope, and shame with freedom. Terri's testimony is a compelling reminder that God's promises never fail, His love never leaves, and our true identity and affirmation are found in Him alone.If you've ever wondered whether God could still love you, restore you, or use your story for good, this conversation will remind you that God is still writing your story—and His love never lets go.Click here for SHOW NOTES!Start a Her God Story Podcast Club!

Advocate Poulomi Pavini Shukla told the Supreme Court that homeless children would be ‘orphaned twice' if stray dogs were removed. She says the case should not be framed as ‘dogs vs children'. https://theprint.in/feature/lawyer-who-fights-for-orphans-rights-enters-sc-fray-for-stray-dogs-last-line-of-defence/2827294/

The fifth commandment is talking particularly to adult children. It says, “Honor thy father and thy mother.” What's intriguing about the Ten Commandments is they are a summary of everything human beings ought to be. Yet in all of the Ten Commandments, there's no place that talks about how people should relate to the government or to the people above them. It doesn't talk about authority except right here.  So let's look a little bit deeper and ask the commandment three questions: 1) what does this commandment tell us to do? 2) why should we do it? and 3) how can we do it? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 12, 1989. Series: Ten Commandments 1989. Scripture: Ephesians 6:1-4. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

Nomad Futurist kicks off 2026 with a powerful conversation led by co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence, highlighting Liliya Valihun, whose work sits at the intersection of education, technology, and humanitarian impact. In this episode, she shares how a personal calling to serve Ukrainian orphans evolved into a full ecosystem that uses tech skills to create dignity, opportunity, and national resilience in a time of war. Liliya is open about not coming from a tech background and how curiosity, not credentials, pulled her into data and infrastructure. Her mindset sets the tone for anyone wondering if they “belong” in technology: “I think it's not about what you are inclined towards. It's about your willingness to learn something new every day, be curious and just, you know, be open to anything new.” Liliya explains how witnessing both the potential of Ukrainian orphans and the effects of conflict inspired her and her husband to create a tangible solution. That solution became Hebron Academy, a comprehensive environment for disadvantaged youth: “We bought a big facility, we call it Stanford for Orphans…providing not only education, future and hope to disadvantaged youth orphans in Ukraine, but also room and board, life skills, physical support, mental health care.” She also speaks candidly about the human cost of war and the work needed to rebuild a nation beyond its infrastructure. For Liliya, trauma can become a source of resilience and strength: “The biggest need…is not just rebuilding and investing into structures… but in people, helping them with the trauma…that trauma is not their weakness, but it's their strengths…redirecting the pain into power.” Liliya closes by highlighting that lasting change comes from service, community, and long-term relationships; not just technology or capital. Her story embodies the values at the heart of the Nomad Futurist Foundation: curiosity, courage, and compassion can turn even the darkest challenges into opportunities for innovation, growth, and meaningful impact.

By Caleb Kinsella - Our world discards the unwanted. Life is so easily thrown away. But that is not what God has planned- true restoration awaits Christ's return. Drawing from the inspiring true story of Possum Trot, we explore God's eternal plan of adoption. How we, once spiritual orphans shattered by sin, are freely

DON SHIRE Today on Stand Up For The Truth’s new podcast, Dave Wager sits down with longtime friend and global missionary Don Shire of DSM International. Don shares how God took an ordinary guy with a trumpet and opened doors to ministry in 38 countries, using music to draw crowds and the gospel to change hearts. Along the way, Don watched needs rise up right in front of him, and those needs became real, boots-on-the-ground work: orphan care, schools, church building, widow ministry, and training local believers to serve their own communities. The heartbeat of the episode is simple and personal, God still uses willing people. Dave anchors the conversation in 1 Timothy 2:1–4, calling listeners to pray, intercede, and give thanks, and reminding us that God desires people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Before the hour is over, you will hear a clear invitation to stop treating missions like a distant idea, pray for what God is doing through Don, and consider participating, financially and faithfully, in the work the Lord is doing around the world through DSM International.

He was born in Rome, and as a young man was chosen by the Emperor Constantine to assist in the foundation of his new capital at Byzantium. An outbreak of leprosy in the new City became so severe that the Emperor ordered that all lepers, whatever their rank, be driven from the city or drowned in the sea. Zoticus, moved by compassion for these people, went to the Emperor and asked him for a large amount of gold to buy gems and pearls to enhance the glory of the city, 'For, as Your Majesty knows, I am well-qualified in this field.' The Saint then used the gold to ransom all those being led into exile or to drowning, and to establish for them a camp on the hill of Olivet on the opposite shore of the Bosphorus. There he brought the sick and provided for their care.   In 337 Constantius, an Arian heretic, took the throne upon the death of his father. Some of Zoticus' enemies at court, seeing an opportunity, denounced Zoticus to the new Emperor, saying that he not only held subversive views, but had misappropriated public money. When he learned of these charges, Zoticus presented himself to the Emperor, finely dressed, and offered to take Constantius to see the gems and pearls that he had bought on his behalf. When they reached the hill of Olivet, Constantius was astonished to see a company of lepers coming to greet him with lighted candles, honoring and praising him and their patron Zoticus. Then the holy Zoticus said to the Emperor, 'These are the precious stones and brilliant pearls that give luster to the crown of the heavenly Kingdom that you will inherit by their prayers. I bought them for the salvation of your soul.'   Instead of being grateful, the heartless Emperor ordered that Zoticus be tied behind wild mules and dragged until dead. The mules ran down the hill, breaking the Saint's body upon the rocks and brush. Then, of their own accord, they returned to the top of the hill, still dragging the body, and, like Balaam's ass (Numbers ch. 22), spoke and proclaimed that the Martyr must be buried on that hill. The astonished and repentant Emperor ordered the Martyr buried with honor, and commanded that a hospital for lepers be built there, staffed by the best physicians and caretakers.   Saint Zoticus is also called Orphanotrophos, 'Cherisher of Orphans,' because in later years a large orphanage was added to the leprosarium. The orphanage included a general hospital and a home for the aged. The Saint was honored throughout Byzantine history as the patron of the orphanage.

Fifty years ago, through Operation Babylift, LeAnn Thieman was asked to help escort 300 orphaned babies caught in the crossfire of the Vietnam War into the arms of loving families in the United States. This remarkable endeavor changed her life and inspired a later prolific career of writing bestselling books for the Chicken Soup series, as well as a successful speaking career. LeAnn is a wife, mom, nurse, and New York Times bestselling author and shares about the importance of listening to God's divine guidance in our lives. She describes what it was like to answer the Lord's calling and take a leap of faith that resulted in the rescue of hundreds of sweet babies who were orphans. She also discusses the importance of forgiveness and faith, and how these two concepts are inextricably tied together.TAKEAWAYSRefusing to forgive can take a physical toll on the body and keep us in bondageWe have to care for our minds, bodies, and soulsTake time to be still and listen to God's voice speaking into your lifeLeAnn has co-authored 14 Chicken Soup titles

In Victorian England, “baby farming” turned unwanted infants into a deadly business. Amelia Dyer, known as The Ogress of Reading, used it to hide an unimaginable number of murders - hundreds of them. This week, we expose the grim world of baby farming, the cruelty of Victorian morality, and how one of the most prolific killers in British history was only a small part of a much bigger problem.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?
