The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, or Theophany, is the feast day commemorating the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Originally the baptism of Christ was celebrated on Epiphany, which commemorates the coming of the Magi, the baptism of Christ, and the wedding at Cana.
I was baptized when I was 11 and it’s something that has sustained me spiritually all the days after. It’s something that has formed me to be the person I am today. Granted, I am not a perfect follower of Jesus but I hope I do my best.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a dystopian action-adventure novel by the American author Suzanne Collins. It is a prequel to the original The Hunger Games trilogy, set 64 years before the first novel’s events.
The prequel movie to this book was terrific. It is thought-provoking, political, and full of familiar themes you found in the original movies. Tom Blyth is a terrific actor who takes you on a journey from a young Coriolanus Snow to the man who will eventually rule future Panem with an iron fist. This cast is rich in talent with Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman, and Academy Award winner Viola Davis. I look forward to future installments of this franchise.
Seeing this movie on the big screen is a good move. It’s worth the price of admission to your local motion picture house.

So, do you have one of these Stanley Tumbler things? These are all the rage right now. Stores can’t keep them on the shelves, just ask Target.
Everyone must be thirsty so they need something huge to carry around to provide them more than adequate hydration. They even sell accessories such as a purse for these things. It’s just the latest in pop culture and merch.
My sister got us a dupe which seems to do the job just fine. I remember when everyone just got water out of a fountain. Those were the days.
