  Reading the Times - A Literary...

  "Reading the morning newspaper is the realist's morning prayer."—G. W. F. Hegel 
  Whenever we reach for our phones or scan a newspaper to get "caught up," we are being not merely informed but also formed. News consumption can shape our sense of belonging, how we judge the value of our lives, and even how our brains function. Christians mustn't let the news replace prayer as Hegel envisioned, but neither should we simply discard the daily feed. We need a better understanding of what the news is for and how to read it well. 
  Jeffrey Bilbro invites readers to take a step back and gain some theological and historical perspective on the nature and very purpose of news. In Reading the Times he reflects on how we pay attention, how we discern the nature of time and history, and how we form communities through what we read and discuss. Drawing on writers from Thoreau and Dante to Merton and Berry, along with activist-journalists such as Frederick Douglass and Dorothy Day, Bilbro offers an alternative vision of the rhythms of life, one in which we understand our times in light of what is timeless. Throughout, he suggests practices to counteract common maladies tied to media consumption in order to cultivate healthier ways of reading and being. 
  When the news sets itself up as the light of the world, it usurps the role of the living Word. But when it helps us attend together to the work of Christ—down through history and within our daily contexts—it can play a vital part in enabling us to love our neighbors. Reading the Times is a refreshing and humane call to put the news in its place.

  Do you ever feel like you're just not good enough, smart enough, or talented enough in certain areas? Do these beliefs keep you from seeking out new opportunities or challenges, because you're afraid of failing?  If so, you may be suffering from a "fixed mindset." In contrast, a "growth mindset" is the belief that you can increase your ability or develop your attributes—that you can adapt and learn from your mistakes. But how do you cultivate a growth mindset? 
   
   
   
  The Growth Mindset Workbook offers essential skills grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change the way you think about your own talents and abilities. Based on the core principles outlined in Mindset by Carol Dweck, this workbook will help you shed unhelpful and self-limiting attitudes and beliefs, and replace them with a growth mindset that can increase resiliency, boost self-confidence, and form the foundation of a meaningful, values-based life. 
   
   
   
  The most important thing to remember is that a growth mindset can be learned, and doing so can positively impact how you think, feel, and act. If you're ready to say yes to life's challenges and maximize your potential, this step-by-step guide can show you the way.

  Sumerian Gods and Heroes -...

  The mythology of the Sumerians stands as one of the earliest recorded religious traditions, shaping the beliefs of later civilizations in Mesopotamia and beyond. As one of the first urban societies, the Sumerians established a complex pantheon of gods and heroes that explained the forces of nature, human existence, and the divine order of the universe. Their myths, inscribed on clay tablets in cuneiform script, offer a glimpse into a world where deities governed every aspect of life, from the rising sun to the floods of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These stories, rich with symbolism and allegory, not only influenced later cultures but also laid the foundation for many of the myths and legends still told today.  
  Sumerian civilization thrived in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now modern-day Iraq, around 3100 BCE. The Sumerians built city-states such as Uruk, Ur, and Nippur, each with its own patron deity. Religion was deeply intertwined with governance, as rulers were seen as intermediaries between the gods and the people. The belief that divine favor determined a city’s prosperity reinforced the importance of rituals, offerings, and temple constructions, particularly the iconic ziggurats that served as sacred centers of worship. The Sumerian gods were not distant, benevolent figures but rather powerful beings with human emotions and rivalries, shaping the world through both harmony and conflict.  
  The primary sources of Sumerian mythology come from cuneiform texts, including the Enuma Elish, various temple hymns, and the Epic of Gilgamesh. These texts preserve tales of creation, divine wars, and the struggles of mortal heroes. The myths of Anu, Enlil, and Enki explain the structure of the cosmos and the forces that govern it, while legends of Inanna and Dumuzi reveal the themes of love, fertility, and the cycle of life and death.
