In “Thor: Ragnarok,” Bruce Banner and the Hulk, they are fighting against each other. They’re the same person, but they need to be integrated better. But then you see in the movie, “Endgame,” Bruce Banner and the Hulk are truly one. They are no longer fighting against each other. They are integrated well. Bruce Banner is the Hulk, and the Hulk is Bruce Banner. Today we celebrate the Transfiguration of the Lord, where Jesus Christ is 100% divine, 100% human.
His divinity doesn’t take away from His humanity. His humanity doesn’t take away from His divinity. Jesus Christ is perfectly integrated into His divinity and humanity. This is called the Hypostatic Union. Say that three times fast. On this day of the Transfiguration, Jesus Christ, the Lord of the universe, actually wants you to know Him. He wants to be known, and we can truly understand the Lord.

Immaculate Conception
One of the things that I absolutely love about Buddy the Elf is the fact that he is so innocent. He is so pure. He is so humble. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that Santa. Takes him out of the orphanage and Buddy lives in the North Pole. He is preserved from the craziness of the world. This is the reason why…

Making and Breaking Plans
Raise your hand if you have made plans and then canceled them at the last minute for no apparent reason. Millennials and Gen-Zers, are notorious for making plans and then canceling them.

Joy in the Midst of Suffering
So, have you ever felt like you are going to die after you get a paper cut or stub your toe? Me too.
