In further study of the Book of Isaiah today, reading in Chapter 40:21-26 (NIV), The Lord proclaims, "Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.

As the mainstream media takes a boisterous victory lap over the Supreme Court’s declaration of nationwide same-sex marriage, the Washington Post took the extra step of invoking the divine.

Ignoring Details, lies, and distractions By Amin Emilio Aun Joven   I like the line from the movie Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace; the one where Qui Gon Jin says to the chosen one: “Live in the moment…your focus determines your reality.” What he meant by that is to block out bullshit you have to focus on what is relevant to your immediate goals.
