Getting the Femur

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #766 – February 22, 2023 – Margaret Mead spoke of finding civilized society with the finding of a repaired femur bone, dating back 15,000 years. Fr. Vazken asks did we lose that civility as we measure the responses to the tremendous loss of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. A Super Bowl ad brought attention to the fact that Jesus “gets us.” Now, do we “get” Jesus?

Maturity of Faith

/0 Comments/in , ,
Next Step #761 – January 12, 2023 – Wish for the new year: Maturity of Faith. Putting aside childish ways (ICor 13) and cultivating faith that works in life. Christianity, the teachings of Jesus with applications to Artsakh and the blockade. Avoiding the folly of relying on politicians taking care of your troubles. Breaking the cycle of hate.
