Getting Closer to God #Paranormal

unitedyam

Irrespective of which religion is being considered, the concept of God as the creator is linked to the origin of the Universe and everything within it. This means that if our scientists had a quantum-gravity recipe for the ingredients and the heating process that resulted in the birth of our Universe through the womb of the Big Bang, then they would be on their way to acquiring the professional expertise of God. The missing component might be a particle collider that can create the necessary conditions for making a baby Universe. Are there any alien scientists in the Milky-Way with…

How Dogs Were Implicated During The Salem Witch Trials #Paranormal

unitedyam

Bridget Marshall: I teach a course on New England witchcraft trials, and students always arrive with varying degrees of knowledge of what happened in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692. Nineteen people accused of witchcraft were executed by hanging, another was pressed to death and at least 150 were imprisoned in conditions that caused the death of at least five more innocents. Each semester, a few students ask me about stories they have heard about dogs. In 17th century Salem, dogs were part of everyday life: People kept dogs to protect themselves, their homes and their livestock, to help with hunting, and…

25+ Star Wars Memes for Aficionados of the Force (December 11, 2024) #Fun

unitedyam

Everybody needs a good story. Like Joan Didion said, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” We need tales of heroes overcoming all odds, ordinary people achieving extraordinary things, and good conquering evil, or else we may never know that we can do the same. Star Wars is a great example of that. The story is so baked into our bones, and similar old patterns and structres (e.g. The Hero’s Journey) that it becomes part of our DNA as a culture. We believe we can take on the forces of evil if we have good on our side. We know we all have a “force” within us that we can harvest when we need to. We all… want to play with lightsabers because it looks really fun. 

This is why we love and need Star Wars. It teaches us how to be human. Memes also do that. Probably. So scroll on.

Prayer for Holy Week: Prayer of the Day for Thursday, November 07, 2024 #Pray

unitedyam

Jesus my Lord,
let me strengthen my courage
by taking on the courage
of all those people who have been “centurions” for me.
Many have faced disasters
and hard times with great constancy.
The upper hand of evil never turned them against you.
They kept going.
Let me be like them, Lord.
No matter what the cross,
let me never stop declaring you
to be “truly the Son of God,
the source of my hope,
the reason why I will never quit on life.

The Best Star Trek Memes of the Week (November 5, 2024) #Fun

unitedyam

The reaction image is one of the most tried and true memes. It’s one of the only meme types the average person can use during day-to-day life. If your friend texts you some irritating news, you can send that meme where Picard has his hand in his face in frustration. If they keep sending negative and horrible messages your way, you can hit them with an Annoyed Picard meme. Of course, there are so many more Star Trek characters (and memes, for that matter) that have nothing to do with Picard. That’s why this week’s edition of Star Trek memes is dedicated to Star Trek reaction images. This is your time to screenshot to your heart’s content. You deserve to have 26 Star Trek reaction memes locked and loaded for whatever situation this life could bring you. You might laugh at this now but don’t come crying back to me when you desperately need Evil Spock to approve.

Guardian Angel Prayer #2: Prayer of the Day for Monday, September 30, 2024 #Pray

(This is an old Guardian Angel Prayer)

O Holy Angel,
attendant of my wretched soul
and of mine afflicted life,
forsake me not, a sinner,
neither depart from me for mine inconstancy.
Give no place to the evil demon to subdue me
with the oppression of this mortal body;
but take me by my wretched and outstretched hand,
and lead me in the way of salvation.
Yea, O holy Angel of God,
the guardian and protector
of my hapless soul and body,
forgive me all things …

O eternal God and Ruler of all creation, You have allowed me to reach this hour. Forgive the sins I have committed this day by word, deed or thought.

O Almighty and merciful God, who hast commissioned Thy angels to guide and protect us, command them to be our assiduous companions from our setting out until our return; to clothe us with their invisible protection; to keep from us all danger of collision, of fire, of explosion, of fall and bruises, and finally, having preserved us from all evil, and especially from sin, to guide us to our heavenly home. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
