Do you feel cancelled or cut off from your group?, asks Pastor Jan.
Jesus can relate, and He restores us to communion with Him, forgiving us, and welcoming us into His family.

Lots of changes in the new Leap 16 from @opensuse.org. I will need to change all my installation scripts. But it now has 2 full years of support. Yay!

If you are not tired of the parallels between the 2020's and the 1930's, try to recognize the characters skilfully described by Dorothy Thompson at this house party 84 years ago in her "Who goes Nazi?" artice in Harper's.
Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In the eyes of God we are not less sinners than others, as we like to think. God sees the hidden sin that only we know. But Jesus died to save the worst sinners, you and me, reminds us Pr. Sye. In Christ we are forgiven, transformed and made children of God.

This is the mistake that Europe must learn from, and avoid repeating by any means necessary.
“We must not sacrifice Paris to save Prague.” (French Prime Minister Daladier, 1938)
Two years later, Daladier was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp.
In September 1938, French PM Édouard Daladier said: “We must not sacrifice Paris to save Prague.” A few years later he was in Buchenwald.

We have a chance to do history better—and stop WWIII. Putin is trying to capture the “Fortress Belt” without a shot.

What is the point of living?
No philosophy can provide a satisfying answer. Ptor Sye concedes that it sounds absurd, but God does love us, Christ died and rose back again for us, and nothing can separate us from His love.
