“Popular culture is a place where pity is called compassion, flattery is called love, propaganda is called knowledge, tension is called peace, gossip is called news, and auto-tune is called singing.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy
GRANDPARENT’S CAMP SUMMER 2026
Children thrive when given the freedom to explore their own ideas and make their own plans, often leading to unexpected and delightful outcomes. Why does this surprise us?
ABSALOM’S TEST AND REBELLION
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursings; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” – (Deuteronomy 30:19)
DAVID’S MERCY TOWARD ABSALOM
I would say to my soul, O my soul, this is not the place of despair; this is not the time to despair in. As long as mine eyes can find a promise in the Bible, as long as there is a moment left me of breath or life in this world, so long will I wait or look for mercy, so long will I fight against unbelief and despair. – (John Bunyan)
GOD DEVISES A MEANS
For we will surely die and become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises means, so that His banished ones are not expelled from Him. – (2 Samuel 14:14)
