With the open heart of a child, connect to the Kingdom of God March 1, 2025 Mark 10:13-16 Today, people were bringing their children to be touched by Jesus, but the disciples were telling them not to.  Jesus became indignant and said, “Let the children c…

With the open heart of a child, we can connect with the kingdom of God. Great intellect is not needed. Going towards Jesus with the open heart of a child is all we need. He will embrace us and bless us. Give him our adult burdens, and he will give us rest.

The Making of Stephen Miller A new biography describes the influences on and aspirations of the architect of Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies.

"If, inshallah, the Trump administration’s legacy rots away and vanishes like the soft tissue of some prehistoric shark, the sharp teeth that remain in the fossil record will likely belong to Stephen Miller." Andrew Hazlett from the archives: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-making...

simple point i tried to convey in the post I just shared. if someone does a nazi salute at a political rally, i don't need to do a critical biography or do some deep dive on why they did it. if you want a research project, sure, whatever. but that doesn't matter.
