This day of all days that we recall. The day when no one took Christ’s life from him. He willingly laid it down for us. Today I remember the cross of Christ in communion with those of you who call him Lord. Today nothing else matters. Our lives hung in the balance of the outstretched arms of Jesus.

Far beyond Pluto, trillions of cold comets circle the sun in a lazy swarm called the Oort Cloud. A new simulation indicates what this comet-cloud looks like: a loose spiral that resembles a miniature galaxy. 🧪🔭

arxiv.org/abs/2502.11252
The spiral structure in the inner Oort cloud viewed by a distant observer along the Galactic node direction (intersection of the Galactic and ecliptic planes). The distribution of bodies was obtained from the Galaxy simulation in Nesvorny ́ et al. (2023). To show things clearly, here we isolated the inner Oort cloud from the more spherical outer Oort cloud by plotting bodies, 34,000 in total, with a < 5,000 au. If the outer Oort cloud were plotted in the figure, it would appear as a large, roughly spherical envelope of the spiral. The classical Kuiper belt with r < 100 au is not shown here – it would appear as a doughnut-like central concentration of bodies aligned with the ecliptic plane.

Son (13), upon getting to the end of Oedipus Rex: "That's all really dramatic. I don't think he had to gouge his eyes out"

Things I’m learning from sabbatical. Month one.✌🏼

- I’ll never take preaching and teaching for granted again.
- Stress is a master of disguise. It often hides behind your very purpose.

Good morning Jesus. Help me be faithful today. Search my heart, my motives, my thoughts. Excuses are easy. Obedience is the Way. Mercy not sacrifice. Peace not conflict. Love first and my needs last. Who can I help today? Who needs to see Your light shine through me?✌🏼

Please, God, guard my heart from hatred masquerading as righteous anger.

Help me to know how to react like You do to injustice -- with anger that does not become contempt, bitterness, vindictiveness, or enmity. Because my human anger does not produce the justice that You desire.

This is the clearest photo ever taken of Venus.
🔭 🧪
This is a cropped, close-up image of the planet Venus, taken by the Parker Solar Probe’s WISPR instrument. The image shows a crescent Venus against the black backdrop of space, with the edge of the planetary limb clearly defined. The crescent is illuminated by sunlight, transitioning from a bright, almost white glow at the top right edge to a subtle, golden yellow that dominates the majority of the illuminated area, before fading into the darkness of the planet's night side at the bottom left. The distinct variations in brightness and texture across the crescent suggest cloud formations or atmospheric layers. A bright, flaring light source is visible at the top right corner, likely the Sun, which contributes to the illumination of the crescent. The overall composition emphasizes the stark contrast between the luminous crescent and the surrounding darkness, highlighting the curvature and celestial context of Venus.

An invitation to reclaim space within as you begin this work week - even as a form of protest.

“Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others.” Etty Hillesum

Good morning Jesus. There’s so much to do today I’m not sure where to even start. But more than daily bread, the urgency I feel is to share Good News with someone today. Guide my steps and thoughts to the least of these not just my own needs. Your Kingdom first is the Way. Love first. Me last.✌🏼

I think sometimes people see all the political posts on here and feel shy about posting different things but believe me when I say we have all read enough posts about bad shit happening and want your opinions on Avatar whales or whatever

I think love is the truest miracle. Love in a climate of hate. The one clear thing in chaos. The clarity of knowing in all the not knowing that this is obedience. The highest and hardest calling. It’s not sappy, lazy or ill-informed. Love is fearsome. The single most threatening defense that exists.

Came upon an interview with Dr Sarah C.M. Paine. What an excellent communicator. Seems like she is an excellent professor. Wish I could audit her class at the U.S. Naval War College. This video started me down a chain of other videos.

And, if eternity could be measured in time, it will be said of us in 10,000×10,000 years what we’ve said all this time of the heavenly hosts around the throne.

Lagoon Nebula (Visible-light View)
This colorful image, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, celebrates the Earth-orbiting observatory’s 28th anniversary of viewing the heavens, giving us a window seat to the universe’s extraordinary tapestry of stellar birth and destruction. At the center of the photo, a monster young star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun is blasting powerful ultraviolet radiation and hurricane-like stellar winds, carving out a fantasy landscape of ridges, cavities, and mountains of gas and dust. This mayhem is all happening at the heart of the Lagoon Nebula, a vast stellar nursery located 4,000 light-years away and visible in binoculars simply as a smudge of light with a bright core. The giant star, called Herschel 36, is bursting out of its natal cocoon of material, unleashing blistering radiation and torrential stellar winds (streams of subatomic particles) that push dust away in curtain-like sheets. This action resembles the Sun bursting through the clouds at the end of an afternoon thunderstorm that showers sheets of rainfall. Herschel 36’s violent activity has blasted holes in the bubble-shaped cloud, allowing astronomers to study this action-packed stellar breeding ground. The hefty star is 32 times more massive and eight times hotter than our Sun. It is nearly nine times our Sun’s diameter. Herschel 36 is still very active because it is young by a star’s standards, only 1 million years old. Based on its mass, it will live for another 5 million years. In comparison, our smaller Sun is 5 billion years old and will live another 5 billion years. This region epitomizes a typical, raucous stellar nursery full of birth and destruction. The clouds may look majestic and peaceful, but they are in a constant state of flux from the star’s torrent of searing radiation and high-speed particles from stellar winds. As the monster star throws off its natal cocoon of material with its powerful energy, it is suppressing star formation around it. However, at the dark edges of this …

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
