"God desires steadfast love and mercy—not sacrifice—as Jesus echoes the prophet Hosea to the Pharisees and reminds us today. Our worship is hollow if we trust our own works and self-righteousness rather than living a life that overflows with the love and mercy that God provides to those who follow Him. Our Lord calls us to repentance and promises to heal and bind up those who come to Him with contrite hearts." —Worship Planning Book, Year A
1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;

The Second Council of Constantinople concluded. The council condemned Nestorianism, the error that taught Jesus Christ was two separate persons (one divine and one human) rather than one Person with two natures. This decision helped affirm the orthodox Christian understanding of Christ as one divine Person with two natures, fully God and fully man.
They make onesies for adults. Why??? I think they are awful when we use them for babies and toddlers (changing diapers is annoying when the child is wearing a onesie). What is the point for adults?
The average student graduates after 12 years of schooling and still cannot answer the most important questions in life.
What is a good man?
What is justice?
What is worth sacrificing for?
What is beauty?
What is truth?
What is the purpose of life?
Classical education begins with the assumption that any education failing to address these questions is not really education at all.
The text of the Book of Concord is available to read for free on online. This easy-to-use resource lets you navigate through all the major documents of the Book of Concord.
Children want moral clarity more than adults realize.
They want heroes
They want meaning
They want examples worth admiring
Classical education understands this instinct instead of trying to suppress it.

Death of Saint Bernard of Menthon, also known as Bernard of Savoy. He faithfully evangelized the people of the Alps and founded monasteries high in the mountains to provide shelter and aid for travelers. These communities became famous for sending out monks accompanied by large dogs to search for and rescue those lost or trapped in winter snowstorms.
BREAKING:
The autopsy for 18-year-old Lexi Arguello has been released.
Lexi died after a 22-week botched abortion at Planned Parenthood in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Her family says staff “waited too long to call for help and they specifically requested no sirens on the ride to the hospital.”
I went to The Mandalorian and Grogu movie today and it was very good. Brand healing. The complaints against it are either superficial or irrelevant. Is the actor a flaming Liberal? Yeah…it’s Hollywood. Did it lack plot? No, it’s episodic, which fits the bounty hunter ethos. It was clean, family friendly, funny, full of great action, interacted with pieces of the wider StarWars universe, etc. If they would commit to making more of this kind of StarWars movies from now on then the brand would get back on track.
It's ✨ #MemoryVerseMonday! ✨
