  Generation Z, often referred to as Gen Z, comprises individuals born roughly between 1997 and 2012. This cohort represents a unique blend of cultural, social, and technological influences, making it distinct from previous generations. Growing up in an era defined by rapid technological advancements and global interconnectedness, Gen Z is the first true generation of digital natives. Unlike Millennials, who witnessed the transition to a digital world, Gen Z was born into it, shaping their worldview and behaviors in profound ways. 
  At the core of Gen Z’s identity is their comfort with technology. From a young age, they have had access to smartphones, social media, and the internet, allowing them to engage with information and people worldwide effortlessly. This exposure has fostered a generation that values diversity, inclusion, and social justice, often using digital platforms to advocate for these causes. 
  Another defining characteristic of Gen Z is their pragmatism. Having grown up during economic instability, such as the Great Recession and its aftermath, they tend to prioritize financial security and practical solutions over idealism. This practical mindset extends to their approach to education and career planning, as they often seek skills and opportunities that offer stability and flexibility.

  Aesop Aesop

  Remember the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper? the Fox and the Sour Grapes? The Boy who Cried Wolf? These wonderful tales and hundreds more have been passed down to us over the centuries. The man credited with writing them, Aesop, was an Ancient Greek slave born about 620 B.C. Aesop is known as a fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables shining glaringly true light on our human foibles now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. Scattered details of Aesop's life can be found in ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch. An ancient literary work called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic, probably highly fictional version of his life, including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states. A later tradition depicts Aesop as a black Ethiopian. But whatever his history, the fables depict truths about human behavior, our strengths and weakness that have remained true for 2500 years.

  It's My Whole Life - Charlotte...

  “It’s my whole life” are the words Charlotte Salomon is said to have used to describe a series of thirteen hundred paintings she created between 1940 and 1942 while in hiding from the Nazis. The paintings are an extraordinary, vivid  
  document: saturated in the sunlit colors of the Mediterranean; full of powerfully expressed love, anxiety, joy, and despair; and arranged as a sequential narrative overlayed with painted words, like a graphic novel. The story they tell is one of a  
  prosperous childhood in prewar Berlin, of fleeing from the Nazi regime after Kristallnacht, and of going into hiding in southern France. There, as the war closed in, Charlotte Salomon painted feverishly, documenting her life and the often  
  troubled lives of her family, her escape to and existence in France, and her struggle to come to terms with the darkness falling around her. When Germany took control of the region, she packed up the paintings and gave them to a friend  
  for safekeeping. Shortly afterward, she was captured and deported to Auschwitz, where she was murdered. 
   
  Charlotte Salomon’s painted memoir has been compared to Anne Frank’s universally famous work as a visual analog to Anne’s diary. It tells a compelling story—not only of the war and the Holocaust, but of a passionate, creative young  
  woman hungering for a place in the world and the ability to express herself. In It’s My Whole Life, Susan Wider charts Charlotte’s life and illuminates her work in a distinctive biography for young readers.

  Beshoy Shenouda Mahrous, Beshoy...

  🕯️ Wisdom isn't just intelligence, it's a way of life. 
  It's not a certificate, or sharp mental ability, or cleverness in speech. 
  True wisdom is when your heart is pure, your thoughts are clear, and your path is aligned with God's will. 
  In this unforgettable sermon, Pope Shenouda III, the former Coptic Orthodox Pope—called "The Golden Mouth" by many—explains the profound difference between being smart and being truly wise in the eyes of the Lord. 
  This English-translated message is especially prepared for: 
  Orthodox Christians raised outside the Middle East 
  Second and third-generation immigrants who may struggle with Arabic 
  All Christians worldwide who seek to grow in spiritual maturity, regardless of denomination 
  🔑 Key Topics in This Sermon: 
  The difference between intelligence and godly wisdom 
  The traits of a truly wise person in God's sight 
  How to live wisely both spiritually and practically 
  How to walk in God’s commandments with discernment and humility 
  📖 Biblical Anchors: 
  "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24) 
  "But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand." (Matthew 7:26) 
  🧠 What’s the Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom? 
  Intelligence understands quickly, analyzes fast, and may solve problems. 
  Wisdom lives rightly, even if not academically brilliant. 
  There are brilliant philosophers… yet they deny God. 
  "The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’" (Psalm 14:1)
