The poinsettia has become a ubiquitous symbol of the holidays, but the history of how it came to the United States has been mostly forgotten. On our blog, we talk with Lindsay Schakenbach Regele, author of FLOWERS, GUNS, AND MONEY, to learn more about Joel Roberts Poinsett, the man behind the flower:

In fact, the consequences of regret can last for generations. We often encounter moments when we’re made to choose between an easier path and a harder one that we know will pay off. How we navigate those moments can determine our generational legacy. Tim Grover, the world-renowned performance coach to elite athletes like Michael Jordan and the late Kobe Bryant, calls the time of profound challenge a "dark forest" moment. “There’s a moment in everybody’s life as a dark forest and a dark moment. How you handle that dark forest, how you handle that dark moment, determines everything,” he said. Will we become prisoners of regret? Or architects of a future written by the hands of courage and dogged resilience? Be inspired and informed by WarTime CEO Stories.

This series, Grimm, has little to do with the Grimm Brothers, except the name. The stories are not the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, mostly bad fairies, actually. The good ones are just the cleaning ladies of the mess created by the bad ones. But these Grimms, and in the plural mind you, are rooted into the old Templar order of the Crusades who would have seized and brought back some “magic” and “powerful” staff from Constantinople or around, a staff that looks a lot like Moses’ staff. But the whole series turns around humanity being a composite meta-species with plain humans who have no choice but to make do with their simple, superficial body and look. You are what you look and you cannot change your looks, not really at least, not at will, on a whim. Then you have the doppelgangers, or Wesen, who are normal humans when they are not stressed or put under duress, and animals otherwise. This animal nature varies from one individual to the next, and the various Wesen subspecies are just plain animals, wolves hunt sheep, dragons spit flames and fire and grill the other subspecies, etc. Very funny. The Grimms are beyond since they are humans and cannot change their looks, except with some black, white, red, or green magic, but they have the ability to see the animal nature of the Wesen, this animal species that is divided into many subspecies, when these Wesen get slightly stressed, whereas the humans cannot see them then, except if they are attacked by these Wesen. Simple, isn’t it? And of course, the staff was stolen by some satanic, devilish, Luciferian monster who cannot really do what it wants because a slither of wood has been retained by seven Grimms who were Templar Knights in the Crusades in the 13th century, of course 13th. Our local modern and living Grimm, Nick, has managed to find and recuperate this slither of wood and the Monster who stole the staff comes after Nick and others to recapture the slither. Simple, Doctor Watson, isn’t it? But no Sherlock will be necessary. Nick will do it by killing everyone around him in a nightmare that will enable him to recuperate the staff, make it whole with the slither and finally destroy the monster. Ash to ash, dust to dust, dirt to dirt, earth to earth. Another of the dual commandments from the Old Testament like an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a magic ball for a witchy ball, and many other things enumerated, one for one. And when he wakes up from this nightmare everyone has been resuscitated, and they get ready for business as usual At times slightly childish, but always entertaining. But it’s good when you reach the end and you can leave these people and let them have their happy life with plenty of all sorts of hybrid or mongrel children. 😈

Welcome to another bonus episode where I react to my recent reading and discussing a literary works from a Christian perspective. Today, we'll be exploring "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham, a novel that considers questions of faith, meaning, and the pursuit of truth. I critically examine the themes of spiritual awakening, moral dilemmas, and the search for purpose in life, whilst at the same time revealing what I believe are it false truths and it occult influences. Through the lens of Christian theology, we will analyse the characters' decisions, their struggles with doubt and temptation, and his ultimate attempt to find redemption. Does true freedom and salvation lie with the rejection of societal norms and how does the advise revelled in this modern parable line up against timeless biblical truth. Join us as I try and unravel the layers of "The Razor's Edge" and uncover the real but very dangerous spiritual advise it offers. Whether you're a literature enthusiast, a seeker of truth, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and fiction, this special episode promises to be an enlightening journey of discovery, it certainly was for me anyway. Full episode available as a special thank you to all my Patrons. https://lnkd.in/eMC3fq8C
