The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn…It is at once the most passionate, the wildest, one might even say the most revolutionary Advent hymn ever sung.

The young woman next to me at the Christmas Eve service had never been in a church before.
She said she really liked the singing especially “the one about about Noel.” Then she asked, “what does that mean?”
She was delightfully curious and added to the joy of the night.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

“Why isn’t there a White History Month?”
Because every month is White History Month. History is written by the victors — and colonizers. Much of the American history and literature we learned for generations erased the contributions of marginalized groups.
