A Rose's Thorns
Reminiscent
The thorns of a rose
are a reminder of His
sacrifice for us.

Angels were ready
to rescue Him: He chose to
rescue us instead.

“And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.”
John 19:2 NKJV
Author's Note: I know how painful it is to get snagged and torn by the thorns on my roses, so I can't even imagine the pain He endured being made to wear a crown of thorns. ❤️

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
