Help us to hold the tension
Of who we are
And who we could be.
Free us from what entangles us so that,
In You, we may love others and work
For the flourishing of all people.
O God, thank You for
Reauthoring our
Small notions of freedom
And for offering a
Better way.
Amen.

O God, what is freedom
If it is not for everyone?
O Christ, in Your abundance,
Help us to be a family that loves
The people across from us—
And the people around the world from us.
Help us not to lose sight
Of Your reflection
In our local and global neighbors. (1/2)

Loyalty should never come at the expense of integrity.
Anyone who asks you to violate your values doesn’t deserve your allegiance. Respecting your boundaries is a foundation of trust.
The people worthy of commitment expect you to stand by your principles, not conform to theirs.

Elon Musk has succeeded in spite of the way he treats others, not because of it.
Belittling is not a leadership strategy—it reflects a lack of self-control. Demeaning doesn't get results—it thwarts productivity.
Disrespect for the status quo can be a virtue. Disrespect for people is a vice.

Either way, WHY?!?! Jurassic Park 8 coming soon
Dire wolves were not close relatives of gray wolves. They last shared a common ancestor more than 5 million years ago. What Colossal has done is make something new and slapped a dire wolf sticker on it, as if an organism equals a hypothetical genome.
