It's coming together nicely... l must submit myself to a period of creative insanity to pull this off

And what hurts most, is that it's not a moment you can change or make up for

Ian Wright on Gabriel Magalhães missing his penalty in the UCL final:

🗣️ “I have to be honest, I’m struggling to understand what I just saw from Gabriel Magalhães.

This is a Champions League final. This is the moment every player dreams about — not just playing in it, but deciding it. And when you step up for a penalty like that, there has to be composure, there has to be quality, there has to be belief.

But that… that looked like panic.

How can you approach the ball in a final and strike it like you’re trying to just get it out of the area? It’s like you’re trying to clear danger, not score a goal. At that level, you don’t get away with that.

Goalkeepers are not even being asked a real question with that kind of finish. That’s what makes it even more frustrating. In a moment where your team needs you to show personality, to show courage, you have to do better.

And I don’t say this lightly, because penalties are pressure moments, I understand that. But this is the UCL final — there is no bigger stage in club football. You step up there, you own it, or the moment owns you.

Arsenal had worked so hard to get into that position, to be in control of the game, to have a chance to swing it their way. And then one kick… one moment… completely changes the feeling in the stadium.

That’s what hurts the most. Not just the miss, but how it was missed.

At this level, margins are everything. And unfortunately for Gabriel and for Arsenal, that margin wasn’t even close.”

A message for the ages...

[Christine Brejcha-Beach @ChristineBrejc1]

If you think Pharaoh was the real enemy at the Red Sea, you’re reading the story too quickly.

Most of us look at the Red Sea story like it’s a victory lap; God opens the water, Pharaoh’s army gets wiped out, and Israel walks away free. We treat it like the "happily ever after" moment of the Bible.

But if you actually look at the Scripture, something far worse hunted the Israelites than Pharoh’s pursuit.

In Exodus 14, as soon as they see the dust from the Egyptian chariots, they start losing it. They weren’t just panicking; they literally ask Moses, "Was it because there weren't enough graves in Egypt that you brought us here to die?" They actually told him it would have been "better" to stay as slaves.

Keep in mind, these people just saw ten plagues. They saw the Nile turn to blood. They watched the land go dark. But the second things got tight, fear deleted their memory of the miracles.

And we do the exact same thing.

How fast do you start romanticizing your past when your current situation gets uncomfortable? How quickly do you start missing the things God actually rescued you from, just because the future feels a bit blurry?

Even the miracle itself wasn't instant. Exodus 14 says God drove the sea back with a strong wind "all night." It was a slow, step-by-step walk. It wasn't a magic trick; it was a process.

But look at what happens just one chapter later in Exodus 16. They start complaining about food. They start talking about how they "sat by the meat pots" and had plenty of bread in Egypt.

That’s a lie. They were in forced labor. They weren't enjoying a buffet; they were being worked to death. But anxiety is a hell of an editor. It makes you remember the "comforts" of your old life while completely cropping out the chains that kept you there.

Then you get to Exodus 32. Moses is up on the mountain for forty days. No updates, or any signal he’s coming down soon. So the people go to Aaron and say, "Make us gods who will go before us."

They didn't stop believing in God you know, They just couldn't handle not seeing Him. Egypt had trained them to only trust what they could touch. So when God didn't move on their timeline, they went back to what felt familiar.

That’s the real issue here. They were out of Egypt, but Egypt was still in their heads. They were physically free, but they were still using a slave’s toolkit to handle fear and delay.

So, when things stall in your life, what do you start building? When you don't get the answer you wanted, what "golden calf" do you reach for? Is it a drink? Is it an old relationship? Is it just a desperate need to control everything around you?

The real threat wasn't the Egyptian army behind them. It was the urge to run back to what was predictable.

The beauty of this story isn't just the parting of the sea. It’s that God didn't walk away when they started acting out. He kept sending the manna and kept showing up for them. He didn't just pull them out of a country; He stayed with them while He pulled the "slave-thinking" out of their hearts.

Leaving your past is a one-time event. But learning how to be free? That takes time.

Be honest with yourself; What part of your "Egypt" are you still defending? Are you rewriting your history because you’re scared of the unknown? If God took away every problem you have right now, would you still be a slave on the inside?

🎙 Wesley Sneijder: "The worst moment of my career was related to my departure from Real Madrid. I felt humiliated because I went to the training ground, and when I arrived, I found my locker empty and all my belongings set aside.

I went to speak with the president. He didn’t give me much time and just told me I no longer fit into their plans and that they wanted to win the Champions League.

Before leaving his office, I said: 'Sir, know that wherever I go, I will play to win.'

Two days later, Mourinho called me. I think he got my number through Chivu, because I didn’t know him personally before.

He said: 'Wesley, I know your situation there is tough. Come to Inter and together we will win everything.'

With Mourinho, it was love at first sight. He assured me I was one of the most important players on his team and that together we would win the Champions League. Maybe he said that to everyone, but trust me, one year with him feels like ten with someone else.

How did it end? You know... I won the Champions League at the Bernabéu. I put the trophy in front of my locker and said: 'I always keep my promises.' It was the best moment of my career."

At just two years old, "Anthony" was abandoned by his biological parents, spending his childhood in foster care. At four, he was adopted by a family in Oklahoma, where he spent nine years hoping for stability. But in 2017, when Anthony was eleven, his adoptive parents took him to the hospital, left him there, and never returned. His heart broke as he wondered, "Why does everyone leave me?"

In January 2018, "Peter Mutabazi" received an emergency call to host Anthony temporarily. Little did he know that this call would change their lives forever. Twenty minutes after arriving, Anthony looked at Peter and nervously asked, "Mr. Peter... can I call you 'Dad'?" Peter, who had also faced abandonment in his own life, immediately felt a deep connection. He knew he couldn't just give Anthony a roof—he had to give him a father.

On November 12, 2019, Peter legally adopted Anthony, providing him the family he had longed for. But the journey didn’t end there. Peter opened his heart and home to other children, adopting siblings to expand their loving family. Now, in 2026, Anthony is 19, working to advocate for foster children’s rights, while Peter continues to share their inspiring story, showing the world the power of love and family.

It tears my heart to say that my father, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o passed away earlier today. I am me because of him in so many ways, as his child, scholar and writer. I love him - I am not sure what tomorrow will bring without him here. I think that is all I have to say for now.
