    1. Working with hyp on a paid Medium article (Substack is easier to handle!) in your iPhone seems to be pretty complicated. It took me quite some time to figure how to annotate. It did work after a lot of experimenting.

      Call up via.hypothes.is and it will take you directly to your last annotation or page note. It works fine for me on my iPhone’s Safari browser.

    2. Anyway, the article does not convincingly refute C S Lewis’ Sehnsucht for the eternal life dimension, nor does the Norwegian thinker and novelist contradict Lewis’ vision. As if life in its bliss would be limited to this globe. Both speak about the same thing, one having the bigger picture, the other solely focusing on what’s at hand. His choice.

    1. MacBaren Three Nuns Pipe Tobacco

      Three Nuns is an iconic pipe tobacco. The blend was first introduced in Glasgow, Scotland by J & F Bell over 100 years ago. Few tobaccos are marketed for more than 100 years; Three Nuns is one of them.

      A carefully selected Virginia leaf is the wrapper leaf of this spun tobacco. The spun rope contains tobaccos from 4 continents. The centre of each roll cake is a variety of Dark Fired Kentucky which adds a slight smoky note to the blend. This in combination with the natural sweet Virginia tobaccos guarantees a unique smoke. The motto of this blend says it all: None Nicer! 50g Tin. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.

    1. Legend Hudson's Bay Pipe Tobacco

      Matured Virginia presented in an English-style thick cut, broken flake. Medium and dark brown matured Virginia is complimented with the addition of stoved black Virginia to create a really rich, deep natural tobacco flavour and aroma. 50g tin. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.

    1. Capstan Original Flake Pipe Tobacco

      This blend is a composition of select, ripe Virginia tobaccos whose citrus and grassy notes go brilliantly with the natural sweetness. A must try for everyone who appreciates a good, straightforward Virginia blend.

      Capstan Original Flake was originally created by W.D. & H.O. Wills of Bristol more than a century ago. It is a favourite to countless pipe smokers across generations. Perhaps the most famous pipe smoker who enjoyed this fine blend was J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of the books “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”. A unique blend made of 100% Virginia leaf. 50g Tin. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.

    1. If Russia genuinely seeks to restore economic relations with the West, it must first implement an unconditional ceasefire and enter into good-faith negotiations to end the war. It must publicly support Ukraine’s EU aspirations and acknowledge that a stable, democratic, and prosperous Ukraine benefits the entire region. Only with such guarantees can Russia begin to rebuild trust and rejoin the global economy on equal footing.

      Excellent explanation!

    1. For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.

      Preparation for the evil day..

    1. Captain Black Original

      Always quality for the last fifty years..

      That's why I like this reasonably priced average tobacco. I can get it round the corner anytime.

      Always fresh. Quality ingredients.

    1. Whether the letter was written by the historical Paul or any other disciple of him, does not really matter. Karl Barth famously shared this position.

      Some thoughts to Barth himself:

      It is true that Barth could not have been what he was or done what he did without von Kirschbaum, and it is important to acknowledge her vital contribution to his work. However, when discussing and reflecting on the Barth-von Kirschbaum relationship—a vital practice for anyone reading or teaching Barth—we need to steadfastly refuse a logic that sees the harm of Barth’s relationship with von Kirschbaum on all parties involved as reasonable collateral damage for the “good” of the Church Dogmatics. The production of a brilliant piece of theology is never sufficient justification for harming others.

    1. Romans has been at the forefront of several major movements in Protestantism. Martin Luther's lectures on Romans in 1515–1516 probably coincided[67] with the development of his criticism of Roman Catholicism which led to the 95 Theses of 1517. In the preface to his German translation of Romans, Luther described Paul's letter to the Romans as "the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian's while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul".[68] In 1738, while hearing Luther's Preface to the Epistle to the Romans read at St. Botolph Church on Aldersgate Street in London, John Wesley famously felt his heart "strangely warmed", a conversion experience which is often seen[citation needed] as the beginning of Methodism.

      Heart piece of early Protestantism. Connection to Methodism.

    2. The occasion of writing the epistle: [...] Paul had made acquaintance with all circumstances of the Christians at Rome [...] and finding that it was [...] partly of heathens converted to Christianity, and partly of Jews, who had, with many remaining prejudices, believed in Jesus as the true Messiah, and that many contentions arose from the claims of the Gentiles to equal privileges with the Jews, and from absolute refusal of the Jews to admit these claims, unless the Gentile converts become circumcised; he wrote this epistle to adjust and settle these differences.

      The most probable complex situation in the church of Rome..

    1. Over time, ICANN has begun to favor the interests of companies like Verisign, owners of .com, instead of users. Worse, they recently favored the sale of .org, a domain extension used by a huge number of important global non profits, to a private equity firm with many former ICANN employees.
    1. Strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited. Strategy generally involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions.[3] A strategy describes how the ends (goals) will be achieved by the means (resources). Strategy can be intended or can emerge as a pattern of activity as the organization adapts to its environment or competes.[4] It involves activities such as strategic planning and strategic thinking.[5]

      "resources...usually limited"

      Strategy

      Critically check your resources, mentally, emotionally, socially, and financially.

      • intellectual resources

    1. Microglia Cells and Alzheimer´s Disease,

      The picture shows how foreign agents try to disrupt healthy life processes. Reminds of sin as the universal pattern of the "destroyer from the very beginning".

    1. You have all changed my life. I’m considering extreme minimalism. Even just at home with my husband. If I could downsize to a duffle bag one day and travel, I will. Or at least travel during summers to volunteer.

      People downsizing...

    2. The latest email on Pandemic Projects is a gem; as an English teacher, I have been forced to get my head around the concepts and technologies involved with online teaching at a rapid pace.

      English teacher being forced to teach online. New times.

    1. Minimalism is a tool that can assist you in finding freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from worry. Freedom from overwhelm. Freedom from guilt. Freedom from depression. Freedom from the trappings of the consumer culture we’ve built our lives around. Real freedom.

      A first trial to define the term..

    1. it’s a much closer match than a discussion forum or conventional social media where there’s just too much distance between the conversation and the text itself

      so true!!

      Goal must be: as group have the text and the commenting side by side..

    1. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

      War against materialism.<br> Of course there is much more to it. The entire ancient lifestyle of indulging in self-centered lust and satisfaction is being attacked. Not because of moralism but because of a totally new eschatological worldview.

    1. “We are able.”

      22: Of course, the disciples were not able to walk the way Jesus was heading to. He is confronted with ignorance, naiveness and lack of spiritual insight. What a suffering for him, especially in that critical and tense situation.

    2. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will rcondemn him to death 19 and sdeliver him over to the Gentiles tto be mocked and flogged and ucrucified, and he will be raised on vthe third day.”

      How did Jesus prophetically know so clearly what would happen in Jerusalem a few weeks later?
