It was made by Victor de Martrin, and it instantly captures that magic of the Mission: Impossible theme. (You can see a better version of his creation here).
Devoted readers of Curious Minds will know that my affinity to Tom Cruise goes a long way back…and hearing this theme takes me back to 1996 when I watched Ethan Hunt complete an impossible mission, while simultaneously making the best tourism promo for the city of Prague.

Read More: Part 1 / Part 2Names are not just words. They have meaning. They describe things and hint at purpose.
Could there be a greater purpose to the names in the Bible? Could a message from God be hidden in the names themselves?
Joshua 19 outlines the boundaries for the inheritances of the tribes of Israel. On the surface the they seem like simple lists of names and places, but when we realize names have meaning, an incredible story begins to unfold.

the story of our three 1994 All-Stars

“Without Michael, it’s going to be hard. But once we step on that floor, we’re still going to have that same cocky attitude that, hey, we’re going to win this ballgame.”
— Horace Grant, two days after Michael Jordan’s retirement before the 1993-94 season
I never lost hope. The Bulls players and coaches never lost hope.
I can’t speak for anyone else.
When Michael Jordan shocked literally the world (not hyperbole) with his retirement one month before the 1993-94 season, the conventional wisdom wasn’t simply that a shot at a four-peat was gone.
The voice is concussively powerful, an imposing white-hot blast of verbiage to rival that of Ralph Kramden from The Honeymooners, drill sergeant Vince Carter of Gomer Pyle fame or any other celebrated loudmouths from the TV, film and sports worlds. And yet, the staccato attack, sheer intensity and hip musician lingo instantly reveal the identity of the man behind this particularly vituperative assault. It is unmistakably Buddy.
No one else in jazz history could rant quite like the enraged Mr.
When things get really hectic with my kids, I know a sure-fire way to calm us all down: I play an episode of Circle Round. The children’s storytelling podcast is beloved by our entire family, as appealing to our second grader as it is to our three year old.
In the midst of a loud car ride or an extra fidgety meal time, I reach for it as a respite.
The golden world of celebrity can be a lonely existence: circles naturally get tinier the wiser – and more famous – someone becomes, as they learn the hard way that there are few people who have their best interests at heart, who are there when they need them, whom they can trust. You only have to read a handful of famous autobiographies to understand just how parasitic and exploitative the majority of celebrity entourages can be.
The struggle to save nuns in America
2024-12-04
It’s an image woven into America’s cultural fabric: Catholic nuns, heads bowed in deep devotion, reciting prayers and lighting candles.
But these days, the nuns’ time-honored pledges of service, chastity, poverty, and obedience seem far removed from the current orbit in which we live – igniting a vocal push to save nuns across the nation. For years, the number of women donning habits and dedicating their lives to the Lord has been declining, raising fears that the several hundred orders of nuns are not only endangered but teetering on the edge of extinction.
