Quién en el PAN debe hablar con Fox para que se retire de la actividad política y deje de recordarnos lo que pasó aquellos años después de su triunfo que dio esperanza y la aplastó en poco tiempo.

El senador del PAN por el Estado de México aborda el papel político y sindical de la CATEM rumbo al proceso electoral de 2027, así como sus posibles alianzas, influencia territorial y repercusiones en la competencia partidista.

Mesa Política. 31 agosto 2026. – Diputadas del PRI, PAN y PT debaten el impacto de la cena de Andy López Beltrán con empresarios y la contradicción con el discurso de austeridad del segundo informe de Sheinbaum. La oposición denuncia deuda duplicada, crecimiento mediocre, 245 mil homicidios y 78 mil desaparecidos, mientras el PT defiende avances en seguridad y bienestar. El choque refleja dos narrativas irreconciliables sobre los resultados del gobierno.

A debate. 02 septiembre 2026. – Diputados de Morena y el PAN debatieron los resultados en salud presentados por la Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum en su segundo Informe de Gobierno. El oficialismo defendió las cifras sobre abasto de medicamentos, hospitales y especialistas, mientras la oposición las cuestionó con datos del INEGI y la OCDE. El choque se centró en el desabasto oncológico, la infraestructura hospitalaria y el acceso universal a los servicios de salud.

Mesa política. 02 Septiembre 2026. – Diputados de Morena, PAN y Movimiento Ciudadano debatieron el segundo informe de Gobierno de Claudia Sheinbaum tras su entrega en la Cámara de Diputados. El oficialismo presumió becas universales, reducción de homicidios y aumento salarial, mientras la oposición cuestionó la crisis de Pemex, la deuda pública y el presunto maquillaje de cifras de seguridad. El choque evidenció la polarización rumbo a la glosa del informe y la agenda legislativa 2027.

Emisión del martes 01 de Septiembre de 2026 La Presidenta Sheinbaum dio un mensaje, no un informe. Como sus antecesores del PRI, el PAN y el propio Morena, optó por la versión positiva de su gestión, lo cual es natural. Ningún presidente gana señalando sus fallas u omisiones, tarea que corresponde a la oposición y a los periodistas críticos. "Deja que tus oídos te abran los ojos." #RuizHealyTimes #AbriendoLaConversación www.ruizhealytimes.com

El tema sobre la mesa. 02 de septiembre del 2026. – Sheinbaum presume reducción de 51% en homicidios, pero las cifras oficiales excluyen desaparecidos, fosas clandestinas y abatidos en enfrentamientos, distorsionando la realidad.La oposición (PAN, MC, PRI) criticó que Sheinbaum administra la herencia de AMLO en lugar de corregirla y protege a aliados señalados. Casos graves ausentes del informe: huachicol fiscal (600 mil mdp), Rubén Rocha Moya, Los Farías y 130 mil desaparecidos no mencionados. Las ausencias de Adán Augusto, Noroña, Maru Campos y el hijo de AMLO, junto con menos menciones al expresidente, sugieren distanciamiento.

La exintegrante de la Comisión Permanente del Consejo Nacional del PAN expone las razones de su salida, al señalar falta de congruencia, deterioro partidista y ausencia de espacios reales para voces críticas dentro de la dirigencia.

En el programa de hoy se habló del regreso de Enrique Inzunza al Senado, el panorama económico rumbo al informe presidencial, los retos energéticos del gobierno, la crisis interna del PAN y la manipulación de cifras sobre personas desaparecidas.

Adela Micha regresa a Me lo Dijo Adela con un análisis sin censura sobre el Informe de Gobierno de Claudia Sheinbaum, la doble nacionalidad y la historia de México. El diputado federal del PAN, Germán Martínez, analiza los acuerdos de la plenaria de Morena y el panorama parlamentario previo al Informe Presidencial. El abogado José Mario de la Garza aborda la viabilidad constitucional de la iniciativa que busca impedir que mexicanos con doble nacionalidad compitan por la Presidencia o una gubernatura. El escritor Juan Miguel Zunzunegui presenta su nuevo libro Otra historia de México, con una revisión crítica sobre los mitos del pasado prehispánico y la conquista. Además, Juan Carlos Díaz Murrieta trae lo mejor del deporte internacional y el dermatólogo oncólogo Javi Derma comparte tratamientos médicos y cosméticos para eliminar cicatrices.

„Pan prezident mě požádal o schůzku, tak jsem mu samozřejmě vyhověl.“ Takovouto větu od premiéra, a to nikoli v odpovědi během brífinku, ale o vlastní vůli vyřknutou v týdenním videu na sociálních sítích pro své voliče, bychom ještě nedávno těžko slyšeli.

„Scenariusz naszych działań jest rozpisany do wiosny 2027 roku. Na dziś nie ma klimatu do tego, by stosować radykalną formę protestu” – oświadczył w Popołudniowej rozmowie w RMF FM Sławomir Broniarz, szef Związku Nauczycielstwa Polskiego. Dodał jednocześnie, że środowisko związane z ZNP jest zawiedzione działaniami szefa rządu w kwestii realizacji postulatów nauczycieli, w tym m.in. podniesienie wynagrodzeń. „Pan premier niepotrzebnie wprowadził konflikt między swoimi deklaracjami a rzeczywistością. Płaca minimalna goni zarobki nauczycieli” – stwierdził.

Dziś zatrzymujemy się nad samą krawędzią historii Samsona. To nie jest jedynie opowieść o Samsonie i Dalili. To historia człowieka, który może być niezwykle silny, obdarowany przez Boga i zdolny do wielkich zwycięstw, a jednocześnie powoli przegrywać samego siebie. To ten moment gdy obdarowanie wydaje nam się ważniejsze niż charakter. Żydowska tradycja widzi w tej historii zasadę midá kenéged midá – „miara za miarę”. Człowiek zostaje skonfrontowany z konsekwencjami drogi, którą sam wybrał. Można mieć talent, siłę, doświadczenie duchowe, autorytet i sukces, a jednocześnie przegrywać w miejscu, którego nikt nie widzi. Najważniejsze pytanie nie brzmi więc: „Czy jestem silny?”, ale: „Czy moja siła jest poddana Bogu?” Wtedy pojawia się ona, piękna Dalila. Filistyni szybko rozumieją coś, czego Samson nie chce dostrzec: jego nie trzeba pokonać siłą. Trzeba znaleźć drogę do jego serca. On beztrosko się bawi i igra z pokusą. Jego włosy nie były magicznym źródłem siły. Były znakiem przynależności. Prawdziwa tragedia nie polegała więc na tym, że Samson miał stracić włosy. Tragedią było to, że przestał poważnie traktować to, co one oznaczały. Człowiek rzadko odchodzi od Boga w jednej chwili. Najczęściej przesuwa granicę centymetr po centymetrze: „Tylko trochę. Tylko tym razem. Wiem, co robię. Mam nad tym kontrolę.” Aż pewnego dnia odkrywa, że sytuacja nie jest już pod jego kontrolą. To właśnie tu padną jedne z najbardziej przerażających słów całej Biblii: „Nie wiedział jednak, że Pan go opuścił.” Odkryjemy wtedy, ze nie jest to historia o człowieku, który nagle stracił mięśnie. To historia człowieka, który tak długo bawił się granicą, aż ją przekroczył i nawet nie zauważył, kiedy zapadła noc.

Dalila krok po kroku prowadzi Samsona do zdrady. Za każdym razem pyta go o tajemnicę jego siły, a Samson odpowiada kłamstwem. Najpierw mówi o świeżych wiązkach, potem o nowych powrozach, a następnie niebezpiecznie zbliża się do prawdy. Granica przesuwa się powoli. To jeden z najgroźniejszych mechanizmów grzechu: „jeszcze tylko trochę”. Dalila przestaje atakować jego tajemnicę, a zaczyna atakować jego serce. Manipuluje nim, mówiąc: „Jak możesz mówić, że mnie kochasz?”. Jej łzy stają się dla Samsona ważniejsze niż jej czyny. Woli uspokoić Dalilę niż ochronić swoje powołanie. Miłość wierzy, ale manipulacja żąda dowodów. Nie przegrywa dlatego, że był słaby, ale dlatego, że oddaje najgłębszą część siebie komuś, kto już wielokrotnie udowodnił, że chce go zniszczyć. To, co dla Samsona jest intymnością, dla Dalili jest informacją potrzebną do zdrady. Samson ufa pamięci dawnych zwycięstw, ale nie pyta już o obecność Boga. „Nie wiedział jednak, że Pan odstąpił od niego”. To dramatyczna prawda o życiu, bo człowiek może przez pewien czas funkcjonować duchowo na autopilocie: mówić jak dawniej, modlić się jak dawniej, śpiewać jak dawniej i pełnić swoją funkcję jak dawniej, a jednocześnie utracić żywą świadomość obecności Boga. Człowiek, który wcześniej nie chciał widzieć, staje się człowiekiem, który nie może widzieć. Filistyni, nie rozumieją, że milczenie Boga nie oznacza Jego nieobecności, a historia jeszcze się nie skończyła. Największym zwycięstwem Samsona nie było zabicie lwa, zerwanie więzów ani pokonanie Filistynów. Jego największym zwycięstwem było to, że po wszystkim, co zrobił i co stracił, jeszcze raz potrafił zawołać do Boga. Upadek nie jest ostatnim słowem Boga o człowieku. Łaska nie zawsze usuwa konsekwencje, ale może nadać sens temu, co pozostało z rozbitego życia. To przecież on, Samson, na początku mówił swoim życiem: „Jestem silny”. Na końcu mówił: „Boże, wspomnij na mnie”. To nie jest tylko historia człowieka, który stracił włosy. To historia człowieka, który pomylił Boży dar z własną siłą i dopiero na końcu odkrył na nowo, że bez Boga nie jest silny. Oto opowieść nie tylko o Samsonie. To opowieść o nas.

En el capítulo 6º de san Juan, Jesús prepara poro a poco a sus oyentes, antes de revelarles el gran misterio de la Eucaristía. No es el maná el pan del cielo que el Padre les da, sino es Él mismo. San Juan de la Cruz escribió “Aquesta eterna fonte está escondida / en este vivo Pan por darnos vida / aunque es de noche”. Sí, una fuente eterna que hay que buscar en la oscuridad de la fe.

Chociaż ja jestem biedny i w potrzebie, Pan troszczy się o mnie. (Ps 40,18) (BE) Paweł napisał: Umiem być nasycony, jak i głód cierpieć, obfitować i znosić niedostatek. Wszystko mogę w tym, który mnie wzmacnia, w Chrystusie. (Flp 4,12-13)

Original Air Date: 8/29/26 Episode Number: 474Episode SummaryDan opens with a vacation story about swimmer's itch, a chatty store clerk, and a deeply awkward attempt to warn strangers on a dock -- with one actually useful tip at the end. Then the main event: Hoosier cabinets. Dan covers what they are, why they were brilliant, how they spread into one in ten American kitchens in the early 1900s, where the name came from, why they eventually disappeared, and why people are hunting them down again today. The episode closes with four design principles pulled straight out of the Hoosier cabinet that apply to any storage or organization project in your home.Timestamps[00:00] -- Back From Vacation[00:41] -- Swimmer's Itch Explained[02:36] -- Itch Attack at the Store[05:16] -- Awkward Dock Warning[12:20] -- Vaseline Hack and Aftermath[13:24] -- Hoosier Cabinets Teaser[14:01] -- Hoosier Cabinet Features[16:25] -- Why They Became Popular[17:37] -- Why Hoosiers Worked[19:11] -- Sponsor Break[19:27] -- Cabinet Layout Tour[21:37] -- Ingenious Built-In Features[25:11] -- Where the Name Came From[27:24] -- Why They Disappeared[28:42] -- Modern Resurgence[30:53] -- Design Principles for Any Space[31:41] -- Four Rules in Practice[39:21] -- Final Takeaways and Sign OffSwimmer's Itch and the Dock Incident [00:41]Swimmer's itch is an itchy skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to microscopic parasites in the water. On most years at Burt Lake -- about 20 minutes south of Mackinaw City, where the Hansen family vacations -- it amounts to maybe 10 or 15 small dots on the legs after a week of swimming. Manageable. Scrubbing off with a towel and showering after swimming keeps it in check. Spraying legs with waterproof sunscreen before going in also seems to help.This year, Dan skipped the sunscreen and ended up with the worst case he's ever had. His legs felt like they were on fire -- not pain, just relentless itching -- and he drove to the nearest store and bought $60 worth of anti-itch creams, sprays, calamine lotion, witch hazel, and Epsom salts. The store clerk was a very enthusiastic talker who wanted to discuss each item, share the story of his childhood poison ivy, and price-check several things by shouting across the store. It was a long checkout.After a couple of hours of applying everything he bought, the itching started to calm down. By that evening he was mostly fine.The Vaseline tip. Coating your legs with Vaseline before swimming creates a barrier that makes it harder for the parasites to reach your skin. It feels strange but not as strange as you'd expect. Dan used it for the rest of the trip and nobody in his family got swimmer's itch after that. He tried to share this tip with two new families he saw swimming in the shallowest part of the lake the next day. The attempt to warn them on a narrow dock involved an unexplained leg-lift, the phrase "I have a message for you," and a display of the spots on his leg that left both men frozen and blinking for an extended period. The warning eventually got through. Dan walked back to the cabin. The Vaseline tip is real. The social execution was not.What Is a Hoosier Cabinet? [14:01]Hoosier cabinets are freestanding kitchen storage units that were made primarily in Indiana from the late 1800s through the 1930s. They are, by most measures, one of the most cleverly designed pieces of kitchen furniture ever made -- and most people today have never heard of them.The basic structure: about four feet wide and six feet tall. Lower cabinets on casters, a work surface in the middle, and shallower upper cabinets above. That much sounds simple. The details are what make them worth talking about.The pull-out counter. The work surface can slide out toward you, adding six to eight inches of workspace when you need it. When you're done, you push it back. But here's what makes it genuinely clever: the drawers directly underneath the counter travel with it. When you pull the counter out, those drawers come with it, so everything you need is still within reach -- not stranded behind where you're standing.The flour bin. Behind one of the upper cabinet doors, many Hoosier cabinets had a large built-in flour storage bin with a sifter and dispenser at the bottom. You slide your bowl underneath, turn a crank, and sifted flour drops right into the bowl. No hauling out a bag, no digging around with a scoop. A separate sugar bin often worked the same way on the other side.The doors. Not an inch of space goes unused. The backs of the cabinet doors are fully utilized -- spice racks, cookbook holders, pie tin racks, hooks, and in some models, baking charts printed directly onto the door interior showing measurements and oven times.The lower cabinet. When you open the lower doors, many models have a shelf that slides or rolls out automatically -- not something you have to dig around in the back of with a flashlight. Pan storage made accessible.The roll-top section. Above the pull-out counter, between the counter surface and the upper cabinets, many models had a small roll-top section that kept counter-level items behind a slatted door when not in use. Counter-level storage, completely hidden when you don't want to look at it.The countertop surface itself was typically porcelain enamel or zinc -- durable, easy to clean, built for heavy daily use.All of that packed into four feet of wall space, on wheels.Why Hoosier Cabinets Caught On [16:25]Here's the context most people don't know: for most of American history, kitchens were nearly empty rooms. Not the way we think of a kitchen today. You had a work table, a sink, maybe a few open shelves. Built-in cabinetry existed but required hiring a skilled carpenter to build directly into the house, and most people couldn't afford it. Built-in cabinets didn't become a standard feature in American kitchens until the late 1920s.That meant the flour was in the pantry. The sugar was in the pantry. The bowls were on a shelf across the room. Every time you baked, you walked to the pantry for flour, back to the table, across the room for a bowl, back to the pantry because you forgot the baking powder. Over and over.Hoosier cabinets were marketed as saving you 1,000 steps. Pull up a chair and don't get up again. Everything you needed for daily baking -- flour, sugar, spices, rolling pins, cutting boards, bread knives, bowls -- was concentrated in one workstation, with a surface to work on included. The number 1,000 may have been marketing, but the concept was real. These cabinets genuinely changed how work happened in a kitchen.About 130 companies eventually made versions of them, most based in Indiana, and at their peak one in ten American kitchens had one.Where the Name Came From [25:11]The origin of the Hoosier cabinet is harder to pin down than you'd expect. Kitchen cabinet patents go back to around 1885, and what seems to have happened is that multiple Indiana furniture companies landed on the same basic idea around the same time. According to the museum in Nappanee, Indiana -- which has one of the best collections of these cabinets in the country -- no one person and no one company gets the credit for inventing them.The name most likely came from one of two sources. The Hoosier Manufacturing Company of New Castle, Indiana was the largest producer and the loudest advertiser. Their brand may have become the generic name for the whole category, the same way Kleenex became the word for any facial tissue. The other argument is simpler: most of these cabinets were made in Indiana, home of the Hoosiers, so they became Hoosier cabinets by geography. Either way, the name stuck and became the universal term for the whole category.Why Hoosier Cabinets Disappeared [27:24]Built-in cabinets. By the late 1920s, houses were being built with real cabinetry integrated into the walls, continuous countertops, proper storage from floor to ceiling. A four-foot freestanding cabinet couldn't compete with a whole wall of built-ins.The fact that Hoosier cabinets sat on legs also became a problem. Dust, grease, and crumbs collected in the space underneath, and that gap was harder to clean than a sealed cabinet base that met the floor. Built-ins were simply easier to maintain.Manufacturers tried to fight the decline with prettier patterns and brighter colors. One company offered a Mediterranean-styled version. None of it worked. By 1935, the Hoosier cabinet was considered old-fashioned. The Hoosier Manufacturing Company was sold and eventually liquidated in 1942.The Modern Resurgence [28:42]Hoosier cabinets are showing up again. People are finding them at antique stores and estate sales, and the market for them is real.A rough-condition oak cabinet in need of work can sometimes be found for a few hundred dollars. Fully restored examples -- cleaned up, refinished, hardware sorted out -- start around $1,100 and average closer to $1,800. If you want to build your own, plans are available online, including from Popular Woodworking and similar sources.Dan recommends searching for Hoosier cabinet videos as a starting point. There's a 12-minute walkthrough in the show notes at repcolite.com from a woman who just remodeled her entire kitchen and says her Hoosier cabinet is still the single best-functioning area in it.Four Design Principles From the Hoosier Cabinet [31:41]These apply to any storage or organization project in...

Don't worry! A recording of each class will be emailed 48 hrs after class!For centuries, the Druids of the Celtic world served as teachers, healers, poets, judges, and keepers of sacred wisdom. Their understanding of nature, ritual, and the unseen world formed the spiritual foundation of Celtic culture, yet much of this knowledge was gradually suppressed or forgotten.In this series, we'll compare similarities, identify differences, gather clues, and gradually separate one archetype from another until each one stands on its own. Using the Sun and Moon Families as our   examples, you'll learn to identify each archetype before combining it with others — creating delineations that are cleaner, more nuanced, and more accurate.Michelle Smith ( Bizjak ) is an educator, author, and lifelong student of Celtic spirituality, folklore, and the natural world. Her work explores the enduring wisdom of the Druid tradition, bringing together historical research, mythology, seasonal practices, and reflective spiritual exploration in a way that is both accessible and meaningful for modern audiences.As the author of Druid Book of Spells: For the Lost Daughters, Michelle has spent years studying Celtic traditions, sacred symbolism, folklore, and the relationship between nature and personal transformation. Her teaching encourages students to approach Druidry with curiosity, respect for its historical roots, and a willingness to develop their own thoughtful practice.In addition to her work in spiritual education, Michelle has built a career as an educator, entrepreneur, and systems designer, creating educational programs and curriculum for both traditional and online learning environments. She believes that ancient wisdom still has an important place in today's world—not as something to be replicated exactly, but as a source of insight, reflection, and connection with the rhythms of nature.Through her classes, Michelle invites students to rediscover the stories, symbolism, and practices that have inspired generations while finding their own path with authenticity and intention.Michelle's booksDruid Book of Spellshttps://bit.ly/4xXydUjEncyclopedia of Natural Remedies: A Forest Farmacyhttps://a.co/d/0gVXgxo6ScheduleClass 1: Awakening the Druid WithinClass 2: Nature as MagicClass 3: Crafting Ritual & SpellworkClass 4: Protection, Cleansing & Spiritual BoundariesClass 5: Walking the Druid PathNEW! 3- WEEK WORKSHOP YOU ARE LEGEND: LIVING THE MYTH OF EACH SIGN & OF YOUR BEST LIFE!

What if the way we think about Jesus has been subtly, quietly wrong all along? In this message drawn from Matthew 16:13-19, we are confronted with one of the most penetrating questions ever asked: Who do you say Jesus is? Not who does culture say He is, not what label feels comfortable or convenient, but who do we actually believe Him to be at the deepest level of our lives? The message challenges us to examine whether we have unknowingly reduced Jesus to a life coach, a moral guru, or a spiritual self-help resource. When we do that, we place ourselves at the center of the story and relegate Jesus to a supporting role in our own narrative. The geography of this passage turns out to matter enormously. Jesus asks this defining question not in a synagogue or a safe religious setting, but in Caesarea Philippi, a place saturated with pagan worship, dark spiritual activity, and what ancient people believed was a literal gateway to the underworld. It is in that setting, standing before the rock face where false gods were worshipped and sacrifices were made, that Peter declares Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of the living God. The location is not incidental. It is a declaration made in the teeth of darkness, and it changes everything. This message invites us to stop treating our faith as a pat Sunday school answer and start wrestling with whether we carry a genuine, living revelation of who Jesus truly is. Join us for service live every Sunday at 10am at 5600 Route 34 | Oswego, IL 60543.

In our Gospel reading, Jesus is going to take His disciples on a hike. And it's a hike to hell. The Destination? Caesarea Philippi, a heavily pagan city dedicated to the Greek god Pan. Why would Jesus intentionally go there? Join us for a look into what it means to declare "Jesus Christ is Lord" even (or especially) at the Gates of Hell. The images that Pastor Christ referred to are here (including the main one associated with this podcast/sermon titled "Pan's Grotto at Caesarea Philippi"): Satellite map: Israel Satellite map: Sea of Galilee Map of the journey River coming up to Caesarea Philippi River near the cliff face Cliff face Cave/grotto wide shot Cave/grotto close-up Artist impression of Caesarea Philippi

Read OnlineOvercoming the Gates of hellJesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13–16The symbolism associated with Caesarea Philippi is central to today's Gospel. Located north of Jesus' home base in Capernaum, it was a predominantly pagan city known for its shrines to false gods. One of the most prominent was Pan, after whom the region was named Panias (later Banias). Pan, a Greek god, was honored at a shrine near a large cave and spring considered the entrance to Hades. Pan was the god of nature, shepherds, flocks, wild places, fertility, and rustic music, and was often depicted as half man, half goat, with horns and hooves. He played the pan flute and was associated with lust, chaos, and sudden fear—from which we get the word panic.Additionally, the city was the site of a temple dedicated to the late emperor, Caesar Augustus, who was worshiped as a god throughout the Roman Empire. It was into this spiritually dark pagan setting that Jesus led His disciples—on what may have been a two-day journey—for what culminated in a single, monumental question.Jesus took the Twelve away from the comfort of their familiar fishing village and Jewish neighbors for a reason. He wanted them to answer His question not in the midst of the familiar and safe, but in a place marked by spiritual confusion and idolatry. Why? So that faith could be professed even there, and divine grace could confront the darkness that permeated the region.At first, He asked who the people said He was. They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” But then He posed the question that reached the heart of His mission: “But who do you say that I am?” This was a moment of divine testing—one which Simon passed with profound faith: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus' extraordinary and consequential response has enduring significance to this day. He declared:“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:17–19).With these sacred words, Jesus founded His Church upon Peter, making him the first pope. In biblical tradition, a change of name signifies a new mission and identity. Simon, son of Jonah, was now to be called Peter—Petros in Greek and Cephas in Aramaic—meaning “rock.” Peter became the solid foundation upon which Christ's Church would be built. No pagan power, false god, or earthly ruler would ever overcome what Christ established with divine authority.Reflect today on the significance of the papacy. Even now, in the successor of Saint Peter, the words of Simon continue to echo throughout the world: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This is the pope's first and most important duty—to bear witness to Christ, the Son of God. Despite the personal weaknesses of some popes and the saintliness of others, it is Jesus who established Peter and his successors as the visible foundation of the Church. Pray for the Holy Father, and trust in the timeless witness of every pope since that first moment in Caesarea Philippi—a witness upheld not by human strength, but by Christ's own promise. To profess faith in the papacy is to profess faith in the One who instituted it and endowed it with His divine authority.My Lord, You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God. With Simon, I profess this truth and place my faith in You, who established Simon, son of Jonah, as Peter—the rock and foundation of Your Church. I believe and profess that the gates of hell shall never prevail against the Church, not because of human strength or perfection, but because of Your eternal promise. I pray for our Holy Father, the pope, and for all his successors. Make them true and faithful witnesses to the confession first spoken by Saint Peter. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Christ handing the Keys to St Peter, by Lawrence OP, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Today, I will cover our usual segments as well as Last week, a listener asked a question that led us on an adventure about how to let go of the clutter in your life that are things you may not be things you LOVE but you love the person or memory that they trigger discuss what to do when all your green beans get ripe at the same time. Spoiler: You handle too many green beans much differently than too many tomatoes.

I personally have spent lots of money on a variety of cleaners. Well here you go: grab some peroxide and a toothbrush and prepare to be as amazed as I was. The grout looks brand new. So stop trying all of these weird chemicals that don't actually clean anything and go back to the basics.  Operation Independence Duplex Update Summer Time brings me memories of lazy days at the family pool, mom in the kitchen processing food or in the garden tending things. Picking strawberries at 4 in the morning, then getting home by 3 or 4 to shower and do it all over again. It was lazy but not lazy. There was always a sense of go with the flow in the summer where I grew up. And back then, a kid could still earn pocket money in the fields. Sometimes I miss that life, but it was also work. And perhaps that is why I find it fun to do the garden work or the canning work. Once again, I got the call every homesteader wants to get: Hey do you want all the green beans in one of my rows? I have too many. And it was hot, I had just spent 2 days painting and only had a single day to prepare for a Saturday event here. So I said. YES PLEASE! Last week we talked about how to process an abundance of tomatoes by basically NOT processing them. This week it is beans. Ways to preserve green beans Pickled Blanched and frozen Blanched and freeze dried Blanched and dehydrated Canned Timeline Canning and pickling Blanching and Freezing or drying Compost   Pre-freezing green beans for canning still means you need to blanch them so - why bother?

This is the climax of the summer's Matthew arc. Everything since Trinity has been building toward Peter's answer to the question Jesus finally asks him directly: “Who do you say that I am?” Today Peter answers, and the answer shapes everything that follows.* Track One begins Exodus — the birth of Moses, protected by an unlikely coalition of women who defy Pharaoh's murderous order. Psalm 124 sings the deliverance from the other side. * Track Two brings us Isaiah's call to remember the rock from which we were hewn, paired with Psalm 138's personal thanksgiving. * The Epistle turns an important corner: after eleven chapters of theological argument, Paul opens Romans 12 with “therefore” — the practical application begins. Present your bodies. One body, many members. Different gifts, all needed.For preachers continuing a series: this is the destination. The confession is what the summer has been building toward. Next week the Gospel will turn — Peter will be corrected, the way of the cross will be named — but this week we stop and let the confession stand.The ReadingsExodus 1:8–2:10First Reading (Track One) — The Midwives and the Birth of MosesSummaryA new king arises in Egypt who does not know Joseph. Threatened by the growing number of Hebrews, he enslaves them and orders the Hebrew midwives to kill every male child at birth. But the midwives — Shiphrah and Puah, named by the text against Pharaoh's namelessness — refuse. When Pharaoh escalates and orders all male children thrown into the Nile, three more women defy him: Moses's mother, who hides him and then places him in a basket on the river; his sister, who watches from the reeds; and Pharaoh's own daughter, who finds the baby and takes him as her own. Deliverance begins through the courage of women.Key Ideas for Preaching* The story of Israel's deliverance begins with women whose defiance no one wrote down until much later. An unlikely coalition forms across ethnic and class lines. Where in your congregation might God's deliverance be already beginning through people whose work no one has yet noticed?* Shiphrah and Puah are named by the text. Pharaoh, the most powerful man in the story, is not. The narrator has decided who matters. What might it mean for your congregation to notice whose names Scripture chooses to lift up?* The midwives lie — or, dissemble at the very least — to Pharaoh, and the text approves — God deals well with them. Where in your congregation has an obedience to institutional authority been quietly mistaken for faithfulness, when a deeper faithfulness would have refused?Significant Cautions* Do not idealize any of the characters. The midwives are ordinary working women doing what they can. Pharaoh's daughter defies her father but does not free the Hebrews. Their courage is real and it is also partial.* The civil disobedience reading of this text is available, but should not be pressed into any particular contemporary political program.* Say the names — Shiphrah and Puah — from the pulpit when you can. Pharaoh's namelessness is part of the text's judgment on him.Psalm 124The Psalm (Track One) — If It Had Not Been the LordSummaryA psalm of thanksgiving for deliverance, sung from the safe side. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side when enemies rose against us, when the waters would have swept us away, we would have been overwhelmed. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.Key Ideas for Preaching* The psalm is written in retrospect — thanksgiving from safety, not desperate pleading in the moment. What might it look like for your congregation to make a practice of naming past deliverances honestly, so that hope in future ones is grounded in something remembered?* Paired with today's Exodus reading, the psalm reads like a song sung generations after the midwives did their quiet work in a birthing room. What began as unnoticed courage becomes a whole people singing.Significant Cautions* Be careful not to preach this in a way that identifies contemporary political opponents as the “enemies” God delivers us from. The psalm is looking back at Egypt, not writing policy for today.Isaiah 51:1–6First Reading (Track Two) — Look to the RockSummaryA word of comfort to God's people in exile. Look to the rock from which you were hewn, the quarry from which you were dug — remember Abraham and Sarah, from whom your whole people came. God is bringing comfort to Zion, making her wilderness like Eden. Instruction will go out; justice will be a light to the peoples. The heavens will vanish like smoke and the earth wear out like a garment, but God's salvation will endure forever.Key Ideas for Preaching* The prophet asks the people to remember. Look to the rock. Remember Abraham and Sarah. Where in your congregation has the loss of memory made the current moment feel more precarious than it should?* The pairing of “the heavens will vanish like smoke” with “my salvation will be forever” is a striking piece of realism about what lasts. Where has your congregation been placing lasting trust in what will not last?* Paired with the Gospel, this text sets up the wordplay Jesus will use with Peter — “on this rock.” Isaiah's rock is Abraham and Sarah; Matthew's rock is Peter's confession. Both texts are asking about the ground beneath our feet.Significant Cautions* The imagery of Zion's restoration is specific to Israel's exile. Do not press it into a program for any modern nation.* “Look to the rock from which you were hewn” is an invitation to remember, not a mandate to romanticize the past.Psalm 138The Psalm (Track Two) — Do Not Forsake the Work of Your HandsSummaryA psalm of personal thanksgiving that expands to a global vision. The psalmist gives thanks with his whole heart and praises God's steadfast love. All the kings of the earth will one day praise God. The closing line is a prayer that God will not forsake the work of God's hands.Key Ideas for Preaching* “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me… do not forsake the work of your hands.” That is one of the most reassuring sentences in the Psalter — a prayer that trusts God is not done. Where in your congregation are people who need to hear that they are still the work of God's hands?* The psalm begins with a personal thanksgiving and ends with all the kings of the earth. What might your sermon do with a psalm whose horizon widens that quickly?Significant Cautions* “All the kings of the earth” praising God should not be read as a program for religious empire. It is a prayer for a widening praise, not a mandate.Romans 12:1–8The Epistle — A Living Sacrifice; One Body, Many MembersSummaryAfter eleven chapters of theological argument, Paul turns a corner. “I appeal to you, therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice.” Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds. Paul then turns to community life: think of yourselves with sober judgment. We are one body with many members, and no member is complete without the others. Different gifts have been given — prophecy, ministry, teaching, encouragement, giving, leading, showing mercy — and each should be exercised in the measure of faith God has given.Key Ideas for Preaching* “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice” is one of the strangest images in Paul. Sacrifices in the ancient world were dead. Living sacrifices are not a category. Paul is describing a whole life, offered without being consumed. What does it look like to preach whole-life offering in a culture that keeps splitting body from soul, work from worship?* Paul opens the practical section with an appeal for humility — think of yourself with sober judgment, not more highly than you ought. This is his first instruction for community life. Where in your congregation might humble self-assessment be the missing precondition for everything else Paul goes on to ask?* The list of gifts is illustrative, not comprehensive. Some are visible (prophecy, teaching, leading). Others are quieter (ministry, showing mercy, giving with generosity). Where in your congregation have visible gifts been overvalued and quieter gifts overlooked?Significant Cautions* “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice” has been misused to justify Christians accepting abuse or unhealthy suffering. That is not what Paul is describing. Handle the language carefully in pastoral contexts where suffering is not chosen.* The gifts list has sometimes been made into a personality test. Paul is describing what happens in a healthy community, not offering a diagnostic for individuals.Matthew 16:13–20The Gospel — Peter's Confession at Caesarea PhilippiSummaryJesus takes his disciples to Caesarea Philippi — a city built by Herod's son at the base of Mount Hermon, next to a massive rock cave that was a shrine to the Greek god Pan, and named after Caesar. In this heavily symbolic place, Jesus asks two questions. First: who do people say that the Son of Man is? The disciples report the various answers — John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, one of the prophets. Then the sharper question: who do you say that I am? Peter answers: you are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Jesus blesses him — this insight, he says, has come from God, not from human reasoning. Then comes the famous wordplay: you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.* (see excursus below) Peter is given the keys of the kingdom. And the disciples are charged to tell no one that Jesus is the Messiah.Photo by Emile Guillemot on UnsplashKey Ideas for Preaching* The setting is not accidental. Caesarea Philippi was named after Caesar and built next to a shrine to Pan. When Jesus asks “who do you say that I am?” he is asking in the shadow of empire and of another religion's holy place. What does it mean for your congregation to make Peter's confession in the shadows of the powers of our own moment?* The other answers the disciples report — John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah — are good answers. Great prophets. Faithful witnesses. But they are not enough. Where might your congregation be settling for a good answer to who Jesus is when a deeper one is being offered?* Jesus tells Peter the confession did not come from “flesh and blood” — it was given to him by God. The confession is not a reward for Peter's cleverness; it is a gift from the Father. Where in your congregation has faith been imagined as something we work out, when the text describes it as something we receive?* Whatever your tradition makes of the Petros/petra wordplay, the fundamental picture is worth preaching: the church is built on a confession. Not on our cleverness, not on our numbers, not on our building, not on our institutional strength. On a confession. What would change if your congregation actually believed that?Significant Cautions* The Petros/petra wordplay has been the site of long controversy between Catholic and Protestant traditions. Both readings have real defenders; do not preach one as the only faithful option.* “The gates of Hades will not prevail” has been used triumphally in ways Jesus's own life will complicate — he is about to head to Jerusalem and be crucified. The victory the passage promises is not the kind that avoids the cross.* The command to tell no one has puzzled readers for centuries. This is the “messianic secret” that runs through Matthew and Mark, and scholars have not settled its meaning. Do not preach a confident theory as if it were obvious.An exursus on the text: I found the following brief commentary from You.com to be helpful in my deliberation of how much to make of the difference between Petros and petra:* The Petros/Πέτρος vs. Petra/πέτρα Contrast (Matthew 16:18)Lexical and Grammatical Background* Πέτρος (Petros): Masculine, used as Simon's new name, means “rock” or “stone.” In Koine Greek, it is not used generically for “small stone”—that would be λίθος (lithos)* πέτρα (petra): Feminine, means “bedrock,” “massive rock,” or “rock formation.” Used metaphorically for a strong foundation* Gender Accommodation: The distinction is primarily grammatical—πέτρα is feminine and unsuitable as a male name, so the masculine Πέτρος is used for SimonAramaic Background* Kepha (כֵּיפָא): In Aramaic, the same word is used for both Peter's name and “rock,” with no gender distinctionJesus likely spoke Aramaic, so the Greek distinction is a translation artifact, not a theological oneMatthew 16:13–20 is a foundational passage for Christian theology and ecclesiology. The Petros/petra wordplay, rooted in Aramaic and preserved in Greek, affirms Peter's foundational role without excluding the importance of his confession or the broader apostolic witness. The passage's other key terms—ἐκκλησία, πύλαι ᾅδου, κλεῖδες τῆς βασιλείας, δήσῃς/λύσῃς, Υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος—draw deeply from Jewish, Old Testament, and Greco-Roman backgrounds, establishing the church as a new, Christ-centered community with authority, resilience, and a confession rooted in divine revelation.Thematic ConnectionsThe Gospel is the climax of the summer's Matthew arc. Since Trinity we have been reading with Peter and the disciples — call, sending, warning, welcome, feeding, walking on water, encounter with the Canaanite woman — and today the question that has been building finally gets asked directly. Peter answers, and the answer shapes everything that follows.On Track One, the Exodus reading pairs with the Gospel in a specific way. Israel's deliverance begins with midwives whose courage no one recorded until later; the church, in the Gospel, is built on a confession made by a fisherman in the shadow of a pagan shrine. Both texts insist that the beginnings of God's great works often happen in unnoticed places, through unexpected people.On Track Two, Isaiah's “look to the rock from which you were hewn” and the Gospel's “on this rock” are worth reading side by side. Isaiah asks the people to remember Abraham and Sarah as their foundation. Jesus builds the church on the foundation of Peter's confession. Both texts are asking the same question in different tenses: what is the ground beneath your feet?Romans 12 sits inside the day as the “so what.” If Peter's confession is true, something has to change about how we live. Present your bodies. Think of yourselves with sober judgment. Use your gifts for the good of the whole body. Paul is describing what a community looks like when it takes Peter's confession seriously.For preachers finishing the summer series: this is the destination. Next week the Gospel will turn — Peter will be corrected, the way of the cross will be named — but this week we stop and let the confession stand. This is a public episode.

Todos construimos planes B porque queremos tener algo que nos sostenga cuando el plan A falle. Pero Jesús se presenta como el Pan de Vida: no alguien que simplemente mejora nuestra vida, sino aquel sin quien no podemos vivirla plenamente. Pedro lo entendió cuando dijo: “Señor, ¿a quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.” La fe cristiana no consiste en tener a Jesús como una opción, sino en descubrir que fuera de Él no existe ningún lugar que pueda darnos lo que Él ofrece. Cuando Jesús es nuestro Pan, dejamos de buscar en otras cosas la seguridad, identidad y satisfacción que solo Él puede dar. No tenemos un plan B, porque hemos encontrado en Jesús aquello que todo lo demás promete, pero nunca puede entregar.

Sometimes music takes us back or far into the future. Other times, time and travel are at the very core of the music we listen to. On this edition of Soundcheck, the (mostly) Havana-based band Orquesta Akokán takes us on a musical time travel through the classic Cuban dance sounds of the mid-20th century, live from our studio. After a substantial dose of mambo, cha-cha-chá, rumba, salsa, and more, Dallas-born and now New York-based singer-songwriter Hannah Jadagu studies the themes of time and travel in her dreamy alt-pop songs, which contain layered vocals that are as light as air.  Orquesta Akokán's Setlist: 1.Con Licencia 2.Pan con Tibiri 3.Caracoles 4.Suave Suave Hannah Jadagu's Setlist: 1.Give Me Time 2.Normal Today 3.My Love Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Na live de hoje, o Mundo Freak entra em três histórias diferentes e todas parecem roteiro pronto para programa de mistério.No primeiro bloco, falamos do Cacique Cobra Coral e da Fundação ligada à médium Adelaide Scritori, que afirma incorporar o espírito do cacique e atuar sobre fenômenos climáticos. A pauta discute a renovação de um acordo de 25 anos com a Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro, a participação da Fundação em eventos como o Pan de 2007 e a fronteira entre manifestação religiosa e prestação de serviço. Também questionamos: como seria possível provar que alguém realmente alterou o clima?No segundo bloco, entramos na nova leva de arquivos de OVNIs do Pentágono: 41 documentos que cobrem casos entre 1950 e 2026, com relatos de pilotos, imagens de UAPs e registros de inteligência. Entre eles, aparece um caso brasileiro de 1963, em Conde (Bahia), envolvendo uma suposta esfera metálica caída com um corpo humano misterioso dentro história que acabou registrada em documento oficial americano e depois foi desmascarada como fraude. Isso abre a discussão sobre um ponto crucial da ufologia: um documento ser oficial não significa que o fenômeno descrito seja verdadeiro.No terceiro bloco, revisitamos a lenda dos “aliens do Miami Mall”: uma confusão real de adolescentes no Bayside Marketplace, que gerou uma enorme mobilização policial, mas acabou reinterpretada nas redes como uma invasão de seres gigantes de 2 a 3 metros. Analisamos como vídeos reais de viaturas, sombras, portais falsos e depoimentos inventados acabaram alimentando um caso clássico de desinformação paranormal na internet.Curta a live, compartilhe e participe pelo chat: você acha que o governo deve contratar médiuns para “controlar” o clima?

I was thrilled when Sami Tamimi told me he was coming to Paris. Sami recently released his third book, Boustany: A celebration of vegetables from my Palestine, so I invited him into my kitchen to make a recipe from it with me. And the weather was so nice, we decided to prepare it outside.Sami is the co-founder of the Ottolenghi restaurants and delis, and the author of Falastin, one of my favorite cookbooks, which explores his Palestinian heritage through stories and recipes from his homeland. Boustany focuses ore squarely on the vegetable dishes of Palestine. Sami's book features a bounty of recipes that focus on vegetables, such as salads like the Fridge-raid fattoush, and there are beautifully verdant Gazan fava bean falafels. I've never made falafels, but his recipe and the gorgeous photo that accompanies it make me want to. Other recipes that I've bookmarked are the spicy Shatta condiment, Bulghur wheat dumplings & lentil soup, and Ouzi phyllo parcels, which are individual dishes filled with rice, orzo, vegetables, nuts, and spices. Where does chocolate fit in? Well, like tomatoes and squash (which are lavishly featured in the book), chocolate is also technically a fruit. And besides, who doesn't love chocolate? Since I've been in the chocolate mode, thanks to The Great Book of Chocolate coming out, I was glad Sami was up for doing some baking and showed up ready to make his Tahini, Halvah, and Coffee Brownies.Subscribe to my newsletter and get videos, recipes, Paris tips, and more, sent right to your Inbox!Pan-baked tahini, halva & coffee brownie(Qahwa w Halaweh brownie)Reprinted with permission from Boustany: A Celebration of Vegetables from my Palestine by Sami Tamimi, copyright © 2025.

Sigue la discusión sobre la llamada "Ley censura" y el "derecho de las audiencias". Tenemos a Luisa Gutiérrez del PAN, Noroñis y la Presidenta hablando del caso. Fox acepta, a más de 20 años, que debió hacer algo que no hizo y María Sorté esta orgullosa de ser "la suegra de México". Martinoli le pide a la gente que no defiendan a los futbolistas como si fueran de su familia. Eduardo Yáñez quería ser luchador de niño y Wendy Guevara está harta de strippers y chacales.

An ominous black smoke is issuing from Drawing Board-kun on this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. Though King Ghidorah has been defeated, we're not done with evil dragons just yet. Last time on Dragon Ball GT, Goku and his friends, they had just finished gathering the Dragon Balls in order to undo the damage from Super 17's attack. Instead of Shenron, however, a sinister-looking, chain-smoking dragon emerged: a byproduct of the negative energy that had been building within the Dragon Balls since Goku's adventures first began. Black Smoke Shenron split himself into seven Shadow Dragons, each one embodying a different element and poised to destroy the world. Reassembling for another adventure, Goku, Trunks, Pan, and Giru first encountered Haze Shenron, the two-star dragon of pollution, terrorizing a small village. Though this Wario-esque dragon may not look like much, our heroes should know by now that appearances can be deceiving.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we take the first step on the journey through The Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell and discuss, with nerd-like passion, the nuance surrounding each specific stage of the hero's journey as explained in the text. For a podcast that geeks out about symbolism; it doesn't get much more bread and butter than this. In the free side of the show we make it through the first four stages of the heroes journey: The Mundane World, The Call to Adventure, Refusal of the Call and Supernatural Aid; touching upon the variety (or lack thereof) you can expect in each stage while using mythology both modern and classic as guide posts along the way. In the extended show we discuss Crossing the Threshold, the tremendous ordeal of being swallowed within the Belly of the Whale and the laundry list of trials each hero faces on their path to either Mordor or tax season. Thank you and enjoy the show.DISCLAIMER:I think we need to clear up some confusion. First of all, I'm very tired. Secondly, I'm very tired. Thirdly, the book we're studying, Hero with a Thousand Faces is by Joseph Campbell but is BASED upon Carl Jung's ideas of the collective unconscious, the archetypes and the path to individuation by interaction with. When you're manically alternating between exhaustion and manic excitement it's easy to get the Cs and Js confused ok?? That being said, Jung is quoted numerous times throughout the text.

¿Es Dios capaz de sostenerte en medio del desierto? En esta poderosa prédica, el pastor Danilo Montero parte de algo tan cotidiano como la manera en que nos alimentamos para llevarnos a una de las lecciones más profundas de la Escritura: el maná, el pan que Dios hizo caer del cielo para sostener a su pueblo en el desierto.Danilo recorre la historia de Israel saliendo de Egipto —400 años de esclavitud— y cruzando el Mar Rojo, símbolo profético del bautismo: la muerte a la vieja vida y el nacimiento a una vida nueva. En ese desierto, entre la queja, los antojos de volver a Egipto y la larga espera, Dios enseñó a su pueblo que no solo de pan vivirá el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios.Ese maná apunta a Jesús, el verdadero Pan de vida que no solo nos mantiene con vida, sino que tiene el poder de introducirnos y sostenernos en el camino hacia nuestro destino. La pregunta que este mensaje deja en el corazón es directa: ¿qué compite hoy con el altar de tu vida? ¿Confías en que Aquel que te ha sostenido hasta aquí puede seguir sosteniéndote mañana?La prédica cierra con una invitación a creer en Jesucristo, recibir el perdón de los pecados y una vida nueva por medio del Espíritu Santo.Suscríbete y activa la campana

The episode where Boydston brings us the story of the 1855 Devil's Footprints in Devon, England. The story is pure chaos, but first you must answer the question of what footprints would ruin your day? Lost? It's ok, so are we, but don't worry we'll give you plenty of details (some may say too much) so you can accurately give an answer. Imagine waking up to animal prints left overnight in the snow all over the town. Is it Sataur? Pan? WereDren? How many creatures can we make up? TOO MANY. Don't worry, we'll give you the actual theories to this mysterious phenomenon, but we think our theory is best. Come say hi on our socials!Facebook- The Tipsy GhostInstagram- @thetipsyghostpodcastTikTok @thetipsyghost_podEmail us your stories at thetipsyghost@gmail.comShow your support when you subscribe, leave a great review & give us a 5 star rating—it really helps!
