10:43

It will probably help our conversation if we make clear we are not talking about the disagreement you might be thinking of right now. Did we get there on July 30, 1969? We'll leave that to others to argue. There is another unanswered question: Was it, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind", or "That's one small step for A man…

During the American revolution, the lives of many were in chaos. It was a world of chaos for those who were present. Many were called upon – many responded, and some gave their all.

The Curse of Ease: The Benefit of Struggle 10:16

Sometimes things break perfectly. So perfectly that if there is some intervention (well-meaning or not) that perfect result of brokenness becomes a tragedy.

Some things are easily observable in the desert. The unobstructed vistas can stretch out for tens and even hundreds of miles.

Have you ever noticed that most folks (including ourselves) like to pretend we will beat the odds of a bad outcome when making a foolish choice.
