The Soul Sucker

Rodney slumped on a cold, graffiti-tagged bench at the bus stop—head in hands, backpack at his feet, the weight of a thousand quiet regrets pressing down on his shoulders. His eyes were dull, like a man who’d seen too much too young, and not enough to make sense of any of it. Beside him sat an old man—pushing 90 if a day. White beard like a wandering prophet. Black overcoat. Polished shoes, but a scuffed cane. He didn’t look homeless. He didn’t look rich either. Just there—like he was waiting for something more than a bus. “Rough day, son?” … Continue readingThe Soul Sucker

Pain – The Weight of War

Lieutenant Jack Calloway was very familiar with pain. He had known it in every form—sharp and immediate, like the searing bite of a bullet; explosive and deafening, like the shockwave of an IED hurling him into the dust; slow and agonizing, like the broken ribs he once had to set himself in the middle of a firefight. He had seen pain on the faces of his brothers-in-arms as they bled out in the dirt, their hands gripping his like he could hold them to life.

Bridging Faith and the Future: The Ethics of AI

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. And if the majority is clamoring to hand their thinking over to machines, well, you’d best double-check if you’ve got any thinking left to hand over at all.” Twain had a knack for poking fun at humanity’s penchant for rushing headlong into the future without much thought about where we might land—or what we might destroy along the way. In many ways, the Vatican’s recent warnings about artificial intelligence feel like an echo of this sentiment, calling us to pause and reflect … Continue readingBridging Faith and the Future: The Ethics of AI

Here we are, knee-deep in the curious paradox of our time. The world is teetering on the edge of a conundrum so peculiar it might make a mule scratch its head. The problem? We’re running out of babies. Yes, you heard right. The same species that once spread like wildfire over this green earth, planting flags and babies in every corner, has suddenly decided it’s better to buy a dog, sip oat milk, and call it a day. When humanity starts forgetting the fine art of replacing itself, you can bet there’s trouble brewing. So, pull up a chair, … Continue readingThe Baby Bust: Lessons from South Korea’s Fertility Crisis

FATE and your Destiny

Folks love to talk about fate like it’s some grand puppeteer, tugging strings and calling shots from above. But I reckon that’s just a way to dodge responsibility—makes it easier to float along, blaming the river for where you end up. No, fate’s not a script carved in stone; it’s more like the river itself. It pulls, pushes, and swirls, full of eddies and rapids. It doesn’t care whether you’re ready—it just moves. The tricky part is figuring out which currents to trust. Some will carry you along nice and easy, while others will hurl you straight into the … Continue readingFATE and your Destiny
