Several of the Things I'm reading today~

The Faithful Steward, issue 39  This is a 16 page newsletter of the Orthodox Church of N. America!  It has some short articles & interesting write-ups of Orthodox happenings & church issues.

The Biographies of the Prince of Martyrs, St. George the Roman, St. George the Alexandrian & St. George Al-Mozahem.  Edited by Ms. Amani Shawky

Voices: Women for Faith & Family.  --Pentecost Season 2011
  A beautiful looking magazine put together by some Catholic women's group.


Saint Nersess Theological Review, vol. 13 2008.  Journal of the Armenian Seminary
 Lots & lots of compact & heady articles.

30 Days Magazine .... several older issues a friend sent to me recently.  This is a Vatican magazine,
subtitled, "In the Church & in the World."   I love it.  One issue has a great article about the Orthodox Christians and the Holy Theotokos (birth-giver of God).

Immaculate Heart Messenger, Oct - Dec. 2011
Religious Life (from the Institute on Religious Life.)
The Catholic World Report
The American Conservative
The Word  (Orthodox Christian monthly magazine. Beautifully
put together & insightful to read!) 

Light...on a New World   Attractive 1/2 sized Protestant magazine from England.

Parabola   That informative & educational 'New - Age-ish' magazine. Lots & lots
of cool articles on Buddhism.

Adoremus Bulletin  Monthly newspaper published by The Society for the
Renewal of the Sacred Liturgy

Horizons  Newspaper of the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Parma (Ohio)
Saudi Aramco World  Magazine published by the
oil company of the same name. Cool articles on what's happening in the Middle East.

The Melkite Handbook & A Guide for the Domestic Church   A couple of  large sized
books put out by the Melkite Church in MA.

The Journal of the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives   This is really cool!  Just received this from a super cool Rev. at a Buddhist monastery in California.  Great articles & stories!  I can't wait to read more...I've got two thick issues.  Looks like a cut-n-paste punk 'zine!

Pure Land, Pure Mind   This great book is a collection of talks by a Buddhist monk of the
Pure Land sect of Buddhism.  You didn't know there were different sects within Biddhism?
Neither did I until I started exploring that religion.  I obtained about twenty books from these
monks in Taiwan.  All free of charge, of course. Buddhists are just like that!

"The Hare Krishna Movement: A Documentary" [Well Done!!]

Actually a fine documentary, truthfully done! The chanting & music throughout is sublime, pay attention. Love is sweet & hatred unknown. Keep the love going!

Documentary Video: "IN LIES WE TRUST: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism" [Fantastically Well Researched Film]

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT, WITH GUITAR: 
This is far & away one of the best "conspiracy" documentaries I have ever seen! This man who put this together has many advanced degrees and was an employee of the US government doing exactly what he now exposes & is opposed to! Basically one of those government insiders who blows the lid off of things. They generally get 'suicided' by agents of the omnipresent military industrial complex. This man is alive & well and boy does he dig deep! You really just need to watch it and pay close attention because he backs up everything he says with proper documentation & sourcing.

In 8 years of hard-won sobriety, Charlie completed his education and worked for the Michigan Prisoner Re-entry Initiative, the Delonis Center Homeless Shelter in Ann Arbor, and the Veteran's Administration in Homeless Veteran Outreach in Miami and Ft.

"Then [Jesus] will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. ...Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.'" Mt. 25: 34-40. Please visit Charlie's tribute page to share a memory at www.niefuneralhomes.com

"Glory to God for All Things" [Excellent Eastern Orthodox Blog!!] ♥♥♥

Aldous Huxley Quote [Brilliant!]

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise."

ALDOUS HUXLEY
1894 - 1963
  

Who Runs Hollywood? Who Owns the Media? Who is the Most Influential Group of "Persecuted & Oppressed" People in America?

Run those questions through your mind a bit. Ruminate over them.
Who started Google?  Who owns Google now?
Who owns Facebook?
Who owns YouTube?
Who owns Wikipedia?

Texe Marrs has the answer right here....[link]

Wise Words from Dr Carl Jung--

The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interest upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance. Thus we demand that the world grant us recognition for qualities which we regard as personal possessions: our talent or our beauty. The more a man lays stress on false possessions, and the less sensitivity he has for what is essential, the less satisfying is his life. He feels limited because he has limited aims, and the result is envy and jealousy. If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desires and attitudes change. In the final analysis, we count for something only because of the essential we embody . . .
     — Carl Jung

"Words of Wisdom: The Paradox of Our Times"

Words of Wisdom: The Paradox of Our Times

There are taller buildings... but shorter tempers; 
Wider freeways... but narrower viewpoints. 
We spend more... but have less; 
We buy more... but enjoy it less. 
We have bigger houses... and smaller families; 
More conveniences... but less time. 
We have more degrees... but less sense; 
More knowledge... but less judgement; 
More experts... but more problems; 
More medicine... but less wellness. 
We have multiplied our possessions... but reduced our values. 
We talk too much, love too seldom... and hate too often. 
We have learned how to make a living... but not a life. 
We've added years to life... but not life to years. 
We've been all the way to the moon and back... 
But we have difficulty crossing the street to meet the neighbors. 
We've conquered outer space... but not our inner space. 
We've cleaned the air... but polluted the soul. 
We have split the atom... but not our prejudice. 
We have higher incomes... but lower morals. 
We've become long on quantity... but short on quality. 
These are the times of tall men... and short character; 
Of steep profits... and shallow relationships. 
These are times of world peace... but domestic warfare. 
These are days of more leisure... but less fun; 
Of more kinds of food... but less nutrition. 
These are days of two incomes... but more divorce; 
Of fancier houses... but broken homes. 
We can choose to ignore these sad facts of life... 
Or we can choose to make a difference. 
Christ has no body on earth but ours, 
He has no hands but our hands... 
We have only one life, which soon will pass, 
And those acts we perform for Christ are the only that will last! 
We must sacrifice ourselves for souls!
