Based on where we are in the era we're in, gotta wonder on the old mythologies (like the World Tree origin story) and think what they'd say on what has been done today in Western Christianity, in the name of Christ. Would folks in older eras say we were superior in our ethics - or would they say...

Something I've been wrestling with a lot and reminded of... I saw so many rejoicing over Jeff Sessions being dismissed from the White House - and although I was so glad for it too and called his behind out from day 1 (just like Coretta Scott King did in the 80s when warning folks about NOT...

Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I have always been a HUGE fan of the character "Aquaman" and the mythology that his character brings to the table. And the new film did NOT disappoint me whatsoever. I thought it was beautiful. With that said, I am curious as to what you all feel on...

Found out about them back in 2015 and was thankful for being able to connect with Survival International and Intercontinental Cry ( Jarawa News and Analysis on Intercontinental Cry ) on the work they do - shared on it here in "Global Indigenous Groups: What Aborginal Religions are your...

Shocking to have seen this recently. And in going into Liturgy recently after having met him first hand, it's still a bit surreal. But I understand after what happened with the death leading up to it. Memory Eternal + For the monks who were accused of murdering Bishop Epiphanius - monks Wael...

Saw this and really appreciated it in regards to how all the Apostles died... Sometimes it's difficult to believe, but I don't want to be like St.Thomas doubting Christ

Charlotte seems like an even cooler place to visit now and one could spend a week or two making the rounds Looking into how Orthodoxy has grown in Charlotte (where my dear sister lived), I was glad she spoke to me on St. Michael Eritrean. This event was at her (@Thekla) old parish - St...

There was an interesting read that I've come across recently after a friend recommended it to me. It is entitled "Honor the Reformation's African roots - The Commercial Appeal For an excerpt: "The revelation that Ethiopian Christianity possibly had links to Protestant Reformation is a...

Have to say, even though I was never into books like Harry Potter for a myriad of reasons, that I absolutely LOVED the concept behind "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." Guessing it was the Zoologist in me that loved the concept of collecting mythological creatures which were endangered...

Had a very bad wreck and definitely would appreciate prayer... Last WEEK, it was a long day of work, as I was not shocked, but disappointed l. I had someone run into me pulling into oncoming traffic after I was turning left in the turning lane and they jetted out in front of heavy traffic from...

How we see ourselves determines results we see. And this was understood even by the Hebrews, including Joshua (descended from the line of Ephraim, son of Joseph and his Egyptian wife Asenath in Genesis 41:45)...and it was not lost on the people how significant it was Joshua had a different...

Saw this from Brother Mark Charles and I thought it had some good food for thought (for a brief excerpt): As a Native man, the national debate on Immigration has been one of the most challenging for me to engage in. Not because it upsets the crazies. But because, when spoken consistently, it...

Grateful I was able to spend time with family/friends at the "A Shared Heritage" conference I attended with Fr.Moses Berry at one of the churches my family attended (St.John the Wonder Worker Church). It was a wonderful time and I was so honored/blessed being able to spend time with Fr.Moses...

Loving to study comparative religions, I have to say it can be difficult living in secular/atheistic or humanistic environments that have biases against Abrahamic religions while saying they value others more accepting. Bernie Sanders called out someone recently in a hearing. ( ). I was...

Shalom :) Anyone who knows me well enough understand that I have no shame noting that I am a ANIMATED SCI-FI/Fantasy Geek. And one of my favorite series is Transformers. I wasn't really into the 80s series as much as the reboots via Beast Wars and the latest show that ended in 2013. Going...

Here's a mainstream press correspondent writing about stories he proposed that media wouldn't carry: https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/07/hiding-us-lies-about-libyan-invasion/ http://dissidentvoice.org/2017/07/the-national-geographic-hell-on-earth-syria-hoax/ In the above article...

Shalom :) Studying the heavens can help one to truly appreciate how much God is a God of order and values His creation :) For anyone who is interested, I found this rather fascinating presentation on a Binary Star System and thought it gave a lot of good food for thought (more at...

Found this rather fascinating presentation on a Binary Star System and thought it gave a lot of good food for thought (more at BinaryResearch) : Binary stars: friends or foes? The documentary re-introduces an idea presented thousands of years ago in Plato’s Timaeus and then again in...

Thankful for this video and the way it discussed the rouge star that once came at us/impacted closely.
