I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas...




Black Lives Matter !

( The only question is : To whom ? )

The differences between various denominations, be they religious, political, philosophical, or ideological, are usually much subtler than one would otherwise be inclined to either suspect or expect. Thus, for instance, if the traditional Easter greeting is “Christ is risen ! (notice the brazen exclamation mark at the end), intellectually enlightened forms of atheism or agnosticism would not necessarily counter this statement by boldly, and rather ostentatiously, affirming its opposite (followed, presumably, by an even greater number of exclamation marks; say, three: one for each person of the Holy Trinity), as one would, somewhat understandably, be tempted to believe; but rather by subversively having its ending replaced by a question mark, as in “Christ is risen ?. Similarly for the well-known response “Truly He is risen ! being made to read “Is He truly risen ? instead. Indeed, it would be a very welcome change to see unbelievers greeting each other in the streets with “Christ is born, glorify Him ? during the winter holidays, rather than resorting to their usual unimaginative quips, such as “This season, celebrate reason !”, as if Christians, who, following the very first verse of Saint John's Gospel, profess Christ to be the Incarnation of God's divine Logos (which is where the word logic, a synonym for reason, comes from), don't do just that; but I digress... The same observation also applies to countless other slogans as well, including the one under discussion. Black (or unborn) lives may indeed matter; but to how many, and how much, remains to be established... (and the odds do not appear to be in their favor).

It Must Have Been Life...




But It's Over Now...

1 Corinthians 13:8  ¶Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 13  And now abideth faith, hope, and love: these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Remember, Remember The Last Of November




The Holy Apostle Andrew, The First-Called

John 1:35  Again, the next day after, John stood, and two of his disciples; 36  And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God ! 37  ¶And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 40  One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41  He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42  And he brought him to Jesus.

Mandatory Halloween Post




Some people have to put on a mask
in order to become monsters,
while others only have to take off
the one they've been wearing all along...

The Friend Zone


John 15:15  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
