fighting back with gratitude. Top Story - April 2025.
Life has kicked my ass lately. But that's okay because I fight back, even when I am feeling down in the gutter. Strength isn’t always loud or glamorous. Sometimes it is honestly just quietly choosing to keep going and to believe that better days are still ahead.

From Ship Christenings to Spiritual Rebirth: The Profound Truth of Baptism
Imagine standing on the banks of the canal, watching as a new ship is about to be baptized into its life of service. The air is filled with anticipation, the crowd buzzing with excitement as they await the smashing of the champagne bottle against the ship's hull. Now, juxtapose this scene with the serene banks of the Jordan River, where John the Baptist performed the first baptisms, symbolizing a profound spiritual transformation. This is the journey we embark upon today, exploring the stark yet enlightening differences between the ceremonial christening of ships and the sacred rite of baptism. Our thesis is clear: while ship christenings may entertain and celebrate, the baptism we receive is a divine promise of rebirth, a testament to God's unconditional love and acceptance.

The Fall of Kingdoms and the Rise of False Shepherds: A Wake-Up Call for Our Times
In the annals of history, the story of Israel stands as a stark reminder of the consequences of leadership gone awry. Following the death of King Solomon, the once-united kingdom fractured into two, each governed by its own king, and the spiritual unity that had held the nation together crumbled under the weight of idolatry. God, in His mercy, sent prophets to guide His people back to righteousness, but the warnings went unheeded. The northern kingdom fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC, and the southern kingdom met a similar fate at the hands of the Babylonians in 597 and 587 BC. These historical events serve as a powerful backdrop to the contemporary crises we face, where the metaphor of shepherds and sheep continues to resonate. Our thesis is clear: the failure of leaders, both spiritual and secular, to care for their flocks has led us from one crisis to another, echoing the ancient warnings of prophets like Ezekiel.

Threads Between Us
The Threads Between Us Talia always thought of the environment as something *outside* of her. Trees, air, oceans, mountains—these were all things that existed *around* her, not within her. Her world was the city: pavement under her sneakers, earbuds in, screen in her hand, noise all around. Nature was something you visited, like a museum or a park, and then left behind.
