Without love in the dream it’ll never come true -Grateful Dead


Where Easter is officially a public holiday and where it isn’t.





Today is Holy Wednesday, or as we traditionally call it: Spy Wednesday the day Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 silver coins. But something curious most people miss is the fact Judas betrayed the Son of Man for little more than 4 months of wage. Literally. When we hear "thirty pieces of silver," it sounds like a mythical, massive pirate's treasure. It wasn't. Let's do some quick math. The coins were likely Tyrian shekels. One shekel was worth exactly four Roman denarii. A denarius was the standard wage for one day of hard manual labor. Thirty shekels equaled 120 days of work. Exactly four months' wages. Judas Iscariot didn't get a palace. He didn't get an army. He didn't get political immunity. He handed over the Creator of the Universe to be tortured to death for the equivalent of a used car or a few months of cheap rent. We look at Judas with absolute disgust, but we do the exact same thing. Sin never offers you a fair trade. The devil doesn't need to offer you the entire world to buy your soul; he just needs to find out how ridiculously cheap your price is. Men abandon their faith, break their vows, and compromise their integrity every single day for a slight promotion, a fleeting moment of pleasure, or a tiny bit of social approval. You are trading eternity for pocket change.

You want to legislate and control the movements of players that you refuse to concede are employees. What happened to that free market and capitalism that you all speak so glowingly about?
