Ukraine, and the air around it

Truth

Don’t quench the Spirit. Don’t despise prophecies. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil.

1 Thessalonians 5:19–22 · World English Bible

A drone in someone else’s sky arrives here as a clip, a claim, a certainty. Paul says test everything. Hold what is good. That is slower than fear, and more adult.

Which story did you repeat today before you knew if it was true?

Courage

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 · World English Bible

Trouble in the world is not news to this sentence. Peace is located in a person, not in a quiet map. It does not ask you to call a war a rumor.

What would courage look like in you that is not the same as picking a team?
