Thyme for some healing soup recipes from around the world Every culture has its own special soup. The belief is that a bowl will make you feel better if you're feeling under the weather, hung over or just in need of a pick-me-up.

A few weeks ago I was honored to receive as a gift a beautiful icon from the Ukrainian artists Oleksandr Klymenko and Sofia Atlantova, who "write" Orthodox icons on the discarded lids of ammunition boxes from the war in Ukraine. Slava Ukraini.

One step to ending hunger in this country with your money would be to invest in neighborhood grocery stores in food deserts. Most are in old redlined districts and impoverished communities. The issue is not willingness to pay for one's own food. The issue is often the lack of accessibility.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: β€œWe’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Breaking: Pope sends letter to US bishops decrying mass deportation and rejecting "any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality." The true "ordo amoris," he says, is the ethos of the Good Samaritan.

Netanyahu gifts President Trump a golden pager in Washington DC The Israelis last year used booby-trapped pagers to target Hezbollah, though civilians were also among the victims.

Absolutely disgusting.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Can the President Dissolve USAID by Executive Order? Congress established USAID in statute, and the president may not unilaterally override a statute by executive order.

USAID was established as its own independent agency by an act of Congress in 1998. The executive does not have unilateral powers over USAID. www.justsecurity.org/107267/can-p...

No, Wormwood, Empathy is Not a Sin - Bellator Christi By: Brian G. Chilton | September 9, 2021 This article was originally shared at MoralApologetics.com. It can be found at https://www.moralapologetics.com/wordpre

Empathy is further defined as β€œone human being sitting with another, being present in a time of darkness, offering a ministry of mercy while avoiding trite words of advice or comfort.”
