3 Mistakes We Make When Seeking the Will of God
"What is God’s will for my life?” This is a good question for us to ask as Christians. It’s the right question for us to ask. When we ask this question, we are acknowledging several things to be true about God as well as about ourselves. We are acknowledging at a base level that God is present and active in the world, and that He actually has a specific design for our lives.
The Bread Looks Different Today Than It Did Yesterday
“Give us today our daily bread…” (Matthew 6:11). This single sentence of prayer acknowledges the wisdom, power, and specific provision of God, for we not only believe that God will give us whatever we need for this day, but that He knows the unique composition of what that provision will look like…for this day. Homemade bread looks quite different than bread from a package. Take your average loaf of Wonderbread.
Dads, You Are the Primary Spiritual Influence in Your Children
Dads, you might not realize or be interested or even think it’s fair that such a weight of responsibility falls on you as the primary spiritual influence in the lives of your children. Sorry – you are, whether you like it or even know it or not. In these matters, there’s really not a choice. The issue isn’t so much a choice as it is a question of identity. In the case of dads, it’s not a question of whether you want to be that influence. You are.
An enriched methane D/H ratio in the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS
|
Abstract Interstellar objects are interlopers from other planetary systems, and their volatile compositions provide a glimpse into planet formation around their host star. Here we present near-infrared spectra of the coma of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS measured with the James Webb Space Telescope. Our results demonstrate an unexpectedly high D/H = (3.18 ± 0.30)% for methane and represent an exceedingly rare detection of deuterated organic molecules in an interstellar object.

Gas prices: Here's how much the 'optimal' US road trip would cost right now
The "optimal" US road trip is back, and the gas budget (all else equal) is about $1,000 higher than it was when Randal Olson created the original map in 2015. Today: about $2,350 at $4.29 a gallon. In 2015: about $1,300 at $2.37 a gallon. Researcher Randal Olson recently unveiled Optimal Road Trips, and its 2026 landmarks trip hits the top landmark in each of the lower 48 states and Washington, D.C.: 49 stops, 13,949 miles, and about 224 hours of driving.

SpaceX throttled Starlink in Ukraine. Neither Trump nor Elon Musk wants to own the decision.
As Russia tries to make Ukrainian cities unlivable with relentless bombing ahead of another war-torn winter, either the US president or the world's richest person — or both — appear to be hindering Ukraine's ability to defend itself. President Trump and SpaceX (SPCX) founder Elon Musk are reportedly involved in the apparent restriction in Ukraine of SpaceX's Starlink satellite communications network and Starshield, its subscription service designed for military use.

Wall Street is 'tiring of the Bank of Nvidia, the Bank of AMD and the Bank of Broadcom': Baird's Mortonson
The sell-off in AI-related stocks, according to Baird tech strategist Ted Mortonson, is increasingly about who needs financing and what that financing costs. "I think the street is tiring of the Bank of Nvidia, the Bank of AMD and the Bank of Broadcom," Mortonson told Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Brooke DiPalma (video above), referring to chipmakers Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), and Broadcom (AVGO).
One Question to Ask Yourself if You’re Struggling With Generosity
This is the root of the issue. This is the bottom of it all. The question behind the question of what you are going to do with what God has given you is the question of how well you really know Him. Do you really know His generosity? “You evil, lazy slave!” These are the words the master had for the third servant in Jesus’ story recorded in Matthew 25. Each had been given a substantial sum of money; each had made choices about what to do with it.
Weight-loss drugs are hitting alcohol a lot harder than snacks, food-and-beverage VC explains

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: AI data center buildout could create 1 million jobs and reshape the US economy
Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang, sitting on a panel next to SpaceX ( SPCX ) and Tesla ( TSLA ) CEO Elon Musk as corporate AI leaders spent most of the day at the White House , said the AI data center buildout will create "probably about a million jobs.” Huang added that “this is the first time in probably… 50 years [that] we're re-industrializing the United States, creating a whole bunch of blue collar jobs.” As Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi details, the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades...
You Are Not Your Trials
God defines who we are. He calls us His sons and daughters, and the trials we walked through with Him were the means to reinforcing or awakening that true and complete definition. When we experience those trials, we are stripped of all those things we might have trusted in…and we find our true and lasting mark of identity. NaCl. That’s the chemical formula for one of the most common ionic compounds to our everyday life—that of table salt.
3 Questions to Help Parents Know Which Hill to Die On
Identifying the deeper, heart-level issue will help you know if this particular thing is really worth standing firm on, or whether you can let it go. “Are we going to die on this hill?” My wife and I often ask this question to each other. Quite often in fact. Children grow, and as they do, they begin to test the limits of their parents.
Christian Obedience in Two Words
We behave as a reflection of who Jesus is, and who He has made us to be in Him. We don’t behave in order to become something different; we behave because we have already become something different. Colossians chapter 3 marks a turning point in the book. The first two chapters have been about the supremacy of Christ in all things, and that in Christ, we are complete. Remember chapter 1? He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Abstract Interstellar objects provide the only directly observable samples of icy planetesimals formed around other stars, and can therefore provide insight into the diversity of physical and chemical conditions occurring during exoplanet formation1−3. Here we report isotopic measurements of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which reveal an elemental composition unlike any Solar System body.

God’s Unreasonable Action in the Garden of Eden
Our question about the severity of the consequences and punishment in the garden may just reveal more about our understanding of the goodness and holiness of God than it does about our ability to judge appropriate consequences. If, on the other hand, we were able to grasp the immensity of God’s goodness; the quality of His perfection; the staggering weight of His glory and holiness – we would likely not think of those consequences for our cosmic rebellion as unreasonable at all.
Jokic, Murray, put up historic numbers together in Nuggets' win
DENVER (AP) — Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic have had historic games for the Denver Nuggets before, but rarely do they occur on the same night. Wednesday was one of those rare nights for the franchise cornerstones. Murray scored a season-high 53 points and Jokic had his 30th triple-double of the season with 23 points, 21 points, and 19 assists in a 142-135 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
The Origin of Everything
“Call me Ishmael.” You might know that as the opening line of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Or this one: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” That’s how Jane Austin opened Pride and Prejudice. Or this opening line from Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis:” “As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” Good opening lines are powerful.
Gospel-Centered Parenting
When we were young parents, I remember frequently turning to my wife and asking some form of this question: “Do you think every parent constantly feels like they don’t know what they’re doing?” Now that we have been parents for over two decades, I feel that question even more deeply. Every season of parenting brings its own set of unique challenges, and so every season is a reminder that we don’t actually know what we are doing as parents.
Mexico City may not be first on your list in Mexico, but it should be
When the average LGBTQ+ American thinks of vacationing in Mexico, places like Puerto Vallarta, Tulum, or the remote Zipolite are usually the first to come to mind. However, please considermoving Mexico City to the top of your list, not just in Mexico, but in the world of travel opportunities. Mexico City is one of the most populous cities in the world and certainly in the Western Hemisphere, with 22 million people and a gay scene to match its large population.

The Good News About Being a Sheep
Are you feeling paralyzed by the complexities of life? If so, there is good news for you as a sheep. All you really need to focus on is better hearing and recognizing the voice of the Shepherd and following Him. This is the technical definition of a “sheep”: The common name for many species of wild and domesticated ruminant mammals of the genus Ovis of the cattle family. The male is called a ram, the female is called an ewe, and their offspring is a lamb.
Count on What You Know Rather Than Speculate on What God Might Be Doing
When our desire for knowledge and revelation ram against the unapproachable wisdom and knowledge of God, where do we turn? The surest answer in those moments is to turn to His Word, where mercifully, God has already spoken. He has revealed something of His good intent and loving providence, enough so that through His Word we can generally answer our question. “What is God doing?” we cry out. We cry it out in pain, in difficulty, in frustration – seeking answers to our questions.
Nobody Intends to Build on Sinking Sand
Considering the foundation means pausing and asking yourself the difficult question of “why.” Sure, being intentional in the beginning isn’t nearly as glamorous as slapping on a coat of paint at the end, but it’s infinitely more valuable. After all, that paint’s not going to look very good on a house that’s crumbled to the ground. The foundation is a key part of any building.
Wisdom Isn’t About Right or Wrong; It’s About Left or Right
Left and right decisions are different. These are the kinds of decisions in which there is no decision that is inherently more moral than the other. These are times when you just have to choose – to choose this home or that one. This town or that one. This job or that one. Neither choice is sinful, and that’s why these decisions are more complex. And these are the decisions in which you move from morality to wisdom. What is wisdom?
Imperial supervisors: We're making sure Lithium Valley benefits residents, not just corporations

Christians are Temporarily Strange People
Even though we might be considered strange now, and even judged because we think and act differently, the world is not the final judge. There is another judgment coming. And that judgment, in a sense, is going to bring about what is real normalcy. Because the way we think? The way we act? These are strange things now, but they won’t be strange then. Madeline L’Engle, the author of A Wrinkle in Time among other things, once said this about her faith: “We try to be too reasonable about what we believe.
Is Your Righteousness Better than God’s?
There is still within all of us the deep desire to prove ourselves. To justify ourselves by our actions. To make a go at righteousness on our own without submitting to the design for true righteousness. I didn’t used to read the instructions. I would get a piece of furniture, or some kind of electronic equipment, or decide to take on some kind of home repair, and just start in on it.
"Understanding Russian Disinformation and How the Joint Force Can Addre" by Michael J. Kelley
Russia will dominate information warfare if the United States does not treat disinformation as central to Russian strategy. This article examines the vital role disinformation played in post–Cold War Russian strategy, including its strategy in the current Russia-Ukraine War, and in a departure from previous scholarship, this article observes that US defense leaders are aware of Russian disinformation but have failed to assess its impact or sufficiently negate Russian influence.
Rockies break loose for 7 runs in the 4th inning, beat Giants 9-1
DENVER (AP) — Ezequiel Tovar had a triple, double and single and Brenton Doyle hit a three-run homer in a seven-run outburst in the fourth inning as the Colorado Rockies snapped a four-game skid with a 9-1 win over the San Francisco Giants. Colorado, which entered the game with the worst record in the majors, won for just the ninth time and avoided being swept for the fourth time this season. Charlie Blackmon drove in two runs and finished a homer shy of hitting for the cycle for Colorado.

California floods, Chile fires: LGBTQ+ collective action can lead on climate change
The COP28 Climate Change Summit ended last last year with a marginal and loophole-ridden agreement from nations on battling global warming and other disasters related to climate change. On the positive side, and despite the fossil fuel-sponsored summit, the ending agreement included a central provision to move away from fossil fuels.
The Simplest Way To Grow Your Love of the Bible
Here is an expression that, even if you don’t use it, I believe will resonate with you if you’re a Christian: I want to want… “Wanting to want” means this: It means that as Christians, we are to have a different value system than that of the world. We are to value things that, in the eyes of the world, might often look like a waste of time. We are to make eternal kingdom investments rather than spending our time, finances, and emotional energy on earthly things.
Turning Litigation Into a Profit Center: Key Takeaways From 2023 in Litigation Finance
Some general counsel are finding that litigation finance can help turn the legal function from a cost center to a profit center in the eyes of their C-suites and boards of directors. That is one of the biggest takeaways from 2023 in the rapidly growing market for third-party funding of lawsuits. When litigation finance first came on the scene, many in-house attorneys viewed it primarily as a threat that could make it easier for their companies to face lawsuits.
VA’s small steps are leading to a giant step toward surviving cancer Original
One in three Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. While the health care system has made incredible advances, far too many people still feel cancer’s devastating impact. In early 2022, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden re-ignited the Cancer Moonshot to reinvigorate national action to defeat cancer, with the goal to reduce cancer deaths by 50% in the next 25 years.
Daily Journal
In the wake of reports that an AI program had passed the bar exam, and on an impulse I can trace to a thoughtful column in the March 6 Daily Journal by Justice Arthur Gilbert about AI-generated judicial opinions (“The Horror! The Horror!”), I recently asked one of the current versions of these natural language AI technology tools to take a crack at composing a passage describing the doctrine of proximate cause for one of my rulings – and to do so in the style of Justice Cardozo.
