Bloody Faith Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away from God are brought near through the blood of Christ’s death. Where would the self-help and business media be without the secret habits of highly successful people? Almost every week there’s a new article outlining a high-flying individual’s behaviors—with the implied promise that using the same techniques could deliver us fame and fortune, too. You’ll hear how top CEOs like Elon Musk begin work early, skip breakfast, and divide their time into small, manageable tasks. Other inspirational figures are more idiosyncratic in their habits. Bill Gates, for example, would reportedly rock backwards and forwards in his chair while brainstorming. This was a bodily means of focusing his mind that apparently spread across the Microsoft boardroom. Further back in history, Charles Dickens carried around a compass so he could sleep facing north, something he believed would contribute to more productive writing. Beethoven co...

Even with over 40 years of gaming a new set of rules can make you a rookie all over again.  Over the years I have watched games of Chain of Command and enjoyed how the game played.  Jim Owczarski and his merry band over at Panache Wargaming play CoC on a regular basis and Table Top CP have run countless games also and so I decided to learn to play the game.   Wow, I made every rookie mistake a first time gamer would do.  Chain of Command has a lot of subtleties to it and that is what makes it a great game but it will take some time to learn how to play well.

That was what he wanted and what pleased him, 6 and it brings praise to God because of his wonderful grace. God gave that grace to us freely, in Christ, the One he loves. A sheep named Baarack received a much needed shearing after rescuers in Australia found the abandoned animal with more than 75 pounds of wool weighing it down. A video of his transformation on TikTok has more than 18.5 million views. After rescuing Baarack, sanctuary staff gave him the long-overdue shearing and found the fleece clocked in at about 78 pounds. According to Kelly Dinham with Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary, sheep need at least yearly shearing to keep their coats light enough for the animals, otherwise it will continue to grow. Despite his heavy fl...
