Natural Solutions with Supernatural Consequences

Super Solutions that are Natural

Next Step #780 – August 18, 2023 – Looking for solutions to the supersized crises from the blockade in Artsakh to the wildfire in Hawaii, Fr. Vazken points to natural solutions with supernatural consequences. Empathy comes alive, lip-service ends, children learn, and so do we. Begging others –  America, Russia or France – ends. Weapon and resources we’ve always had and echoed by Khirimian Hayrig himself. A call to donated to Hawaiian Wildfire Relief. Effective protest- to the point and ones which get answers – tried and proven. Religious prejudice and Carlos Santana’s Supernatural. Jesus’ natural supernatural abilities.

Changing Center

Next Step #779 – July 28, 2023 – A call to believe in the power within… Artsakh blockade continues as do the pleas for help. Armenian clergy meet with the US State Department and the vicious circle of victimization continues. Protests take place everywhere except Baku and Ankara. Anthropocene affecting more than we bargained for. Leveraging Love is still the only viable choice – from Archimedes’ lever to Jesus’ mustard seed, the solution is with us.

Ethnic Churches at Pentecost

Next Step #775 – May 25, 2023 -The other side of Ascension: Jesus, his love for his friends and letting go. Marriage and letting go of children: establishing their own and catching the wind to fly. The Ethnic Churches: understanding in the West and obstacles to manifesting the Orthodox Tradition. Daring to contemplate Jesus’ humanity: Walking in the shoes of Jesus? Jerusalem and the fallacy of national churches: Simply find the Agent of Process! Ultimately: Quest of Peace, coming up.

Expo Exploit

Next Step #774 – May 11, 2023 – A young boy, age 20, dies as a “martyr” in Armenia and enters a news cycle with interest but no action. Armenia, more than a Jeopardy trivia question. Christian requirement to “do” by Jesus. Inhumanity to man, quickly forgotten as weapons of war are sold to those who continue genocide. News for what? Discovered: John 21:25 is not hyperbole! Exploiting in the Christian sense. AI in its earlier manifestations: Cheers and Archie Bunker paved the way?
