Reviving the Spirit of Activism
Introduction In the annals of American history, democracy has always been a torch held high—a beacon of hope, equality, and justice. Yet today, we stand at a precipice. The very principles that underpin our democracy are under assault by an emerging class of oligarchs whose unchecked influence threatens to erode the foundations of our society. Now more than ever, we must draw inspiration from the grassroots movements of the 1960s and 70s—eras marked by courage, outrage, and an unyielding demand for justice. It is time to reignite that spirit of activism and rise against the forces that seek to undermine the American dream.

The Mysterious Heritage of Babylon
Today, we begin an exploration of the captivating history of Babylon, a civilization celebrated for its remarkable contributions to the ancient world. Beyond the splendor of its legendary city, Babylon's impact on art, politics, religion, and science resonates throughout history. 1. The earliest reference to Babylon can be traced to a clay tablet from the era of Sargon of Akkad in the 23rd century BCE. At that time, it served as a modest center for religion and culture, lacking the independence it would later achieve. Under the Akkadian Empire, Babylon was part of larger political structures before it began to gain prominence.

Throw Out the Lifeline to the Needy
Throw Out the Lifeline is a wonderful and inspirational hymn from 1890 with words and music by Edwin S. Ufford. It reminds us that Jesus saves and so we must keep Christ in Christmas and put aside the commercialism. Christmas was never meant to be a holiday made for spending money or giving out the most expensive presents it is Jesus' birthday and Jesus was born poor. Christmas is a time to take a look at those around us who are poor and needy and who need some holiday cheer if only someone would be so kind as to help them out with a loving hand, a smile, and understanding. Take a look around your area and see where you can donate toys for poor children and clothing or even food. There are usually many Christmas drives at this time of the year. Let’s remember those who are so much less fortunate than we are, those who don’t have any family or friends. This time of the year is the hardest for those who are homeless not only because of the cold but also because you can imagine how they feel out there on the street while all around them brightly lit Christmas trees are glowing.
