On Perseverance and Fortitude

This is a story recounted to me by my wife.

Logotherapy and Suicidal Individual

Are you suicidal? If you are, perhaps you have lost the meaning of life.

This is to Certify

You have asked for our certificates.
You’re right but we’ve been through proper gates

And in your eyes, exactly our depreciations.

Third Secret of Fatima

Beginning this Yuletide season, Sanhedrin will bring you a new format which will tackle controversial issues regarding things that could affect the faith and fate of mankind. Borrowing from the Philippine cultural tradition of duplohan, balagtasan, and the like; Sanhedrin would like to be the site where opposing and similar ideas may be ventilated and rendered as: Scribe, Pharisee, Saducee and Zealot.
