This is a reading for meditation of selected teachings/sayings of the Desert Mothers, taken from 'Apophthegmata Patrum' (Sayings of the Desert Fathers & Mothers) translated by Benedicta Ward; and Philokia: compiled in the eighteenth century by Macarius of Corinth (1731-1805). The teachings spoken here are from the Mothers - Amma Theodora, Amma Syncletica and Amma Sarah.The Desert Mothers lived primarily in the fourth and fifth centuries, withdrawing to the arid regions of the eastern Mediterranean at a time when Christianity had become legally protected and increasingly institutionalized. Like their male counterparts, they sought the desert as a place of stripping away — a landscape where distractions fell silent and the soul was exposed before God.Some lived in loose monastic communities; others inhabited abandoned tombs, caves, or simple mud-brick cells. Their days were shaped by prayer, fasting, manual labor, and long periods of silence. Water was scarce, food minimal, and illness common. The desert was not romantic — it was a place of bodily weakness and spiritual testing.They were called ammas, meaning “mothers,” a title that conveyed both intimacy and authority. This was not sentimental language. To be an amma was to be recognized as someone whose life had been tested and whose counsel could be trusted.

Trechos do livro “Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna”, de Sri Ramakrishna.Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (1836-1886) foi um dos mais reverenciados mestres espirituais da Índia, considerado por muitos como um avatar (uma encarnação divina). Nascido Gadadhar Chattopadhyay, em uma vila de Bengala, cresceu em um ambiente simples e profundamente religioso. Desde cedo, demonstrou inclinação espiritual e experiências místicas. Ele se tornou sacerdote do templo de Kali em Dakshineswar, onde mergulhou em intensas práticas espirituais, explorando diferentes caminhos, incluindo o hinduísmo, o islamismo e o cristianismo. Sua busca o levou à realização da unidade divina, tornando-se um exemplo vivo de harmonia religiosa.Ramakrishna enfatizava que todas as religiões levam à mesma verdade suprema e que Deus pode ser realizado por meio de amor, devoção e entrega. Ele ensinava a pureza de coração e a renúncia ao ego como passos essenciais para a iluminação. Usando histórias simples e metáforas, ele transmitia profundas verdades espirituais, destacando que a experiência direta de Deus é mais importante do que doutrinas ou rituais. Sua vida era um testemunho prático de seus ensinamentos, cheia de humildade, compaixão e alegria.Ramakrishna inspirou a criação da Ramakrishna Mission, fundada por seu discípulo Swami Vivekananda, para propagar sua mensagem de serviço e unidade. Ele é amplamente reverenciado como um santo universal, cujo legado promove o diálogo inter-religioso e a busca pela Autorrealização.
Listen along as we continue our time in 1 Peter. Notes//Quotes: Faith: 1 Peter 3:1-7 Title: The Way Home “Submission is not something being taken from me, but is something I'm choosing to give. The truth that Jesus, being fully God, willingly entered into this world, becoming fully man and submitting His will to God the Father and giving His life to justify us as well as the Spirit's role of illuminating and pointing people to Jesus is proof that the differing roles God has for men/women and husbands/wives is not about value or worth. Submission actively happens in the Trinity. If Jesus submitted even unto death, how can I stand on my “rights” and ultimately demand to always be the one in authority?” - Kathy Keller “Renounce yourself, take up your Cross and follow Me. To recognize one's own nonentity and discover the secret of the Kingdom is not enough: the King of Love must be enthroned in our mind and heart, take undivided possession of our will and make of our very bodies the Temples of the Holy Ghost. This small particle of the Cosmos, which is our soul and body must be conquered, freed by a lifelong struggle from enslavement to the world and to the devil, freed as if it were an occupied country and restored to its legitimate King.” - Anthony of Sourozh, Sayings of the Desert Fathers
The most consequential development discussed is the rapid proliferation of Shadow IT in client environments, with emphasis on the unchecked adoption of cloud SaaS applications and artificial intelligence (AI) tools by end users. Speakers noted that this has led to a substantial loss of MSP control over client IT environments, eroding trusted advisor status and prompting clients to question the ongoing necessity of working with their MSP. The pervasive use of AI and SaaS products without guidance or oversight introduces governance and security risks, particularly relating to sensitive business data being accessible to third-party vendors and potentially incorporated into external data sets. The episode provided details on how Shadow IT emerges, highlighting the ease with which employees can adopt SaaS and AI tools through free trials, personal accounts, or non-business credit cards, often outside of IT's direct visibility. According to Amy and El, clients are increasingly self-serving their technology needs, shifting traditional MSP-client dynamics. The conversation outlined specific governance issues, such as most AI tools ingesting client data into the cloud, with limited assurance as to how it will be used or protected unless higher tiers of service are paid for—an unlikely scenario for most SMBs using free versions. Secondary discussion focused on broader industry fragmentation and the challenges it poses for knowledge-sharing, consensus-building, and vendor feedback. The speakers recalled a time when MSP best practices spread rapidly through tightly-knit peer groups or single platforms but observed current information channels are numerous and scattered, such as Discord, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Facebook. This dispersion hinders both MSPs and vendors from collaborating effectively and reduces the feedback loop necessary for responsive product development and operational improvement. The key implications for MSPs and IT leaders include the pressing need to shift operational models from rigid, tool-centric offerings to relationship- and advisory-focused services. There is heightened risk if MSPs fail to address governance and security concerns, especially as end users continue adopting technology independently. Speakers recommend implementing proactive client education, detailed risk analysis on SaaS and AI integrations, and establishing clear communication strategies to reclaim the advisory role. MSPs are encouraged to align compensation models to advisory activities, as future client value is projected to depend more on strategic guidance than product-resale or ticket-resolution metrics.Title: How are you managing Shadow IT?

Recently I watched the very interesting 2016 documentary entitled “Rome: Empire Without Limit with Mary Beard”. Ms. Beard, a very readable British scholar, functioned as host and narrator. Regarding Christ, Ms. Beard said, “one Jewish Rabbi had developed new ideas. His name was Jesus. The Sayings of Jesus, as they were called, were only written down later. But it's clear enough that for the Jews he was preaching blasphemy. And at the beginning at least, for the Romans he was just another troublemaker. However exactly the story went, he was arrested, put to trial, and sentenced to death Roman-style, by crucifixion. The Romans must have thought “problem solved”, but it was only the start.

Good Friday Seven Sayings From The Cross by Upcountry Calvary
Welcome to today's episode, where we discuss one of the most important questions anyone can face: Do you believe that it is finished? In this episode, we'll look at the powerful words Jesus spoke from the cross, the proof of His resurrection on Sunday, and the personal decision each of us must make today about who Jesus is and what His finished work means for our lives.
Can your kids finish the classic parent threats? Jeff and Trevor find out — and the answers are heartwarming. This week starts with a social media trend we couldn't resist: parents asking their kids to finish old-school sayings like "as long as you live under my roof..." and "I'll give you something to..." The kids have absolutely no idea. Trevor and Jeff test their own recall against the trauma of the past, and the takeaway is surprisingly sweet — this generation's kids just don't know those threats because modern dads aren't using them anymore. Then Trevor drops an update on Infinite Craft — the browser-based word mashup game we covered last week. Turns out there's no kid-safe mode, and looking over his eight-year-old's shoulder revealed some very adult word combinations. Laptops were shut, the game was banned, and Jeff confesses his teen already "made everything" in the game. The eternal dad question: do you ask what they saw, or let a sleeping dog lie? Jeff hits a milestone nobody's excited about: his 15-year-old is officially on Instagram. It's the first NDG kid on social media. Despite being a teen account, the algorithm immediately served up political garbage instead of skateboarding and art. Jeff and his wife spent day one retraining the feed together and set up a family chat to share good content. Trevor shares a genius trick he used with his kid on Messenger Kids — he had him send a goofy selfie, refused to delete it, then forwarded it to mom. "I didn't let you do that!" "Doesn't matter. You don't own it anymore." Parenting in the digital age, one teachable moment at a time. In lighter news, Trevor was FLOORED to discover that Pokémon TCG Pocket has actual battles. He thought it was just a pack-opening simulator. His kids have thousands of physical Pokémon cards and have never once played the actual game. Jeff might download it for the card battler angle. Trevor might stream it. The future is wide open. Finally, for our Gaming Dad Question of the Week, Logan asks: has becoming a dad made you more emotional during games? Jeff talks about feeling Joel's panic in The Last of Us, and Trevor can't get through "Love You Forever" without losing it. The scenario of playing something heavy late at night and having to wake your kid up just to hug them? Yeah. That hit home.

John 19:28-30 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Have you ever felt abandoned? Maybe a spouse left you, a friend betrayed you, or a parent wasn't there when you needed them most. Pastor J.D. reminds us of the incredible truth that Jesus knows exactly how that feels. It's part of our series called The Difficult Sayings of Jesus.

There is not transcript for today’s sermon. As Pastor J.D. begins a series called The Difficult Sayings of Jesus, we're putting aside our assumptions and taking a fresh look at who Jesus really is. A lot of us picture Jesus in a flowing white robe with a purple sash, carrying around a lamb on his shoulder, and smiling sadly. But as we'll discover, the true Jesus is so much more exciting!
