Indeed, as much as I love writing, there’s something refreshing about giving you a peek behind the curtain on those books, articles, and other resources which have blessed me, both as a writer and as a believer.

In practice, people know how to read; the issue is that they don’t read. ## [News From the Frontlines: August 8th, 2026](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/news-from-the-frontlines-august-8th-2026) _2026-08-07 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ To Be Timeless / What Unique Platform Has God Given You to Glorify Him? / When Young Couples Are Afraid to Have Children / I Knew It! / “David’s Plea for Mercy” - Psalm 51 / How to Rightly Train Your Affections / Every Thought Captive ## [An Ode to Books Left Unwritten](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/an-ode-to-books-left-unwritten) _2026-08-04 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ Should you manage to read a book a week over the course of your adult life, you will still have only read about 3,500 to 3,750 works in total—assuming, of course, that you began your reading journey at roughly age ten and continued diligently until around age 80, according to the math, or until your death—whichever should come first. ## [Living History is in Print](https://www.afmoritz.com/living-history-is-in-print/) _2026-08-04 · Roseanne S.

With the warmth of the rising sun trailing close behind, the pre-dawn light began stretching its golden limbs across the forest which was now slowly rousing from its short summer slumber. ## [News From the Frontlines: July 25th, 2026](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/news-from-the-frontlines-july-25th-2026) _2026-07-24 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ Reviewing Christopher Nolan’s “Odyssey” / 15 Great Books to Get You Started / Klavens On The Culture / How to Read More Books / How to Set Up a Pocket Notebook You’ll Use Every Day / Rediscovering the Joy of Writing / How I Write So Fast (And You Can Too!) ## [How Pleasantly the Lines Have Fallen](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/how-pleasantly-the-lines-have-fallen) _2026-07-22 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ Life hasn’t always been easy, and the way hasn’t always been clear. But when I reflect on the life I’ve been given—on the Savior who loved me and died for me, on my Heavenly home, on my wife and the eternal friendship in which we share in Christ as both lovers and friends, on our little son and the little life we’ve been given—I find myself thanking the Lord with those very same words of David. ## [News From the Frontlines: July 18th, 2026](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/news-from-the-frontlines-july-18th-2026) _2026-07-17 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ Men With Chests / Genetics and Sin / Everything I Might Have Been / Sometimes, God’s Intervention IS Our Suffering / The Nail in the Coffin of Our Hearts / The New Birth and Conversion—What Comes First? / The Redemptive Power of “Project Hail Mary” ## [Auto-trade Cross-Exchange Gaps (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/l52WBoLKRvzB) _2026-07-17 · **Sponsored**_ Find cross-exchange spreads, backtest strategies, and execute automatically with risk controls. ## [Great Expectations](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/great-expectations) _2026-07-14 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ Not everyone leaves their hometown. Perhaps such folks find themselves lingering in a place far longer than they ever thought; they had intentions to go abroad for a great adventure at some point, only it never materialized. Not, at least, in the way they had once expected. ## [Some Reflections on Suffering and Hope](https://thebeautyisee.bearblog.dev/some-reflections-on-suffering/) _2026-07-11 · thebeautyisee · The Beauty I See_ How can we hope, when all hope seems lost? How can we live through immense pain? Read with me Psalm 39 and Psalm 88, for a hope that never fails. At first, these songs feel odd and out of place. The endings particularly feel out of place, for, these are the only Psalms to end on a note of despair, rather than hope or praise. The sense of oddness only grows when one considers the endings more… ## [Swing Low](https://thebeautyisee.bearblog.dev/swing-low/) _2026-07-11 · thebeautyisee · The Beauty I See_ Swing Low Deep black oak leaves shiver among early shadows.

Haunted in the old-fashioned sense of the word: laden heavily with experience, nostalgia, and memory, rather than the modern fare of ghosts, spirits, and phantoms. ## [News From the Frontlines: July 4th, 2026](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/news-from-the-frontlines-july-4th-2026) _2026-07-03 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ Crushed By Past Regrets? / Would You Attend Your Son’s Execution? / The Delightful Duty of Married Sex / Will Britain finally awaken? / The Quiet Crisis of Prayerless Orthodoxy / How Can We Give Generously without Worrying? / The Joy of Patriotism ## [Just Keep Swimming](https://www.joshuabudimlic.com/post/just-keep-swimming) _2026-06-27 · Joshua Budimlic · Iotas in Eternity_ A few months ago, I took up swimming.

They can represent the very best of times, such as the birth of a child, and the very worst of times, as with the death of a loved one. Indeed, life and death are so often held in the palms of a simple hospital bed. ## [June Events 2026](https://www.afmoritz.com/june-events-2026/) _2026-06-05 · Roseanne S. Carrara · A.F.

Yet, so much more! Within haiku, particularly classical haiku, there are layers of complexity beneath the beautiful simplicity of form and language.

Eternity The pond ripples lie. What is seen, What is not seen, In the autumn moon’s light? On the surface: A brilliant eternity, Circles within circles. Yet, what is in the space beneath, But dark trembling, Then silence? More. There must be something more, in the silence. © Michael C Johnson ## [In His Shadow](https://thebeautyisee.bearblog.dev/in-his-shadow/) _2026-04-11 · thebeautyisee · The Beauty I See_ This is another poem from my book. For further reading, see Psalm 91. In His Shadow Haunted though these halls may be, a light still flickers down some hidden way —His soft movements whisper sweetly to me, beckoning me, through the old and dusty corridors— a light so subtle in this darkened frame, yet, His movements gather, and gather, and gather, like a long and deep sunrise, slowly blossoming… ## [Deep Calling](https://thebeautyisee.bearblog.dev/deep-calling/) _2026-04-11 · thebeautyisee · The Beauty I See_ A poem from my book, with some allusions to Moses and Jonah.
