It was a little church. Off the main path. And you don’t see many “little” churches on the Camino. Most churches here are Gothic monuments. Stone gargantuans, with bells, towering medieval doors, and golden altars. This wasn’t one of those.
“I am the vine and you are the branches,” is a familiar scripture. What does it mean to be a part of the vine? And what does it mean to “remain” in the vine?

We all stand outside the small market in Villamayor. There are about twenty-five, maybe thirty of us hapless, fatigued pilgrims. Sweaty and covered in grit. All wearing the same clothes we were wearing two weeks ago.
My Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed was full of chortling posts claiming that the Vatican denied Vice President J D Vance a meeting with Pope Francis, sending the Vatican’s second-ranking official instead, in what the left loudly proclaimed was a deliberate snub to Mr Vance. That’s not quite what it …
We are walking through Navarrete on Easter Monday the moment Pope Francis dies. The bells of the massive church are ringing, non-stop. Locals are in a kind of reverential shock.
When we were growing up, my brother and I never got Easter baskets. Easter meant going to church and getting new Easter clothes. Our parents (actually, we just blame Mom–sorry, Mom) wanted to instill in us that Easter was not about rabbits or chocolate eggs, but rather about the resurrection of Jesus.
Dante’s Inferno is over 700 years old, yet its vision of Hell still shapes how we imagine the afterlife, sin, and justice.
Dante’s Inferno is not just an imaginative journey through Hell—it is a moral argument. The poem presents a world where every sin has a price, where wrongdoers receive punishments perfectly suited to their crimes.
I realize your propaganda machine foams at the mouth over the thought of President Trump but just as biology does not allow you to magically turn a man into a woman, so geography does not allow you to call a citizen of El Salvador a Maryland man.
Are we approaching a chaos event horizon – the point at which we’ll lack the moral foundation to self-govern? The evidence that the values essential for democracy are disappearing from our society is overwhelming.
Amazingly, spirituality is not a “weird” and awkward subject for the people of Madrid, it’s normalized. Here, people seem to treat the topic of religion as cordially as you’d discuss college football.
This month marks another anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. For generations, this tragic story has captivated hearts and minds. The loss of the Titanic left a shaken world in disbelief and made people stop and think.

Five years ago I was in Huntsville when the world shut down. Five years. Almost to the day. I’ll never forget it.

Fractals—those infinitely repeating geometric structures—exist in nature, history, human behavior, and biblical truth follow similar self-replicating cycles. These are not just coincidences; they reveal a mathematical and spiritual design woven into creation.
Imagine this: you live a peaceful, self-sufficient life. You raise livestock, grow food, worship freely, and ride a horse-drawn buggy into town for flour and fence nails. You don’t own a smartphone -Then one day, the Canadian federal government says, “Download this app or we’re putting a lien on your farm.”
Her classroom was out of control. Had been for a while. The kids in her “at-risk” fourth-grade class were about as organized as a prison riot. That’s what we call them in today’s world. “At-risk youth.”
