We are BACK and fresh as freaking daisies after a week off for Spring Break, full of ideas and excitement for this platform and community. We're switching up our opening segments (lookin' at you, pop culture lovers), and kicking off a series which focuses on our namesake: The Beatitudes -- the eight blessings given by Jesus which totally rock the idea of blessing as the world understands it. Today, we focus on the first two groups he blessed: the poor [in spirit], and those who mourn. And while we've seen these phrases countless times on cards and home walls and church bulletins, it may not all be as cut-and-dry as we've come to believe. And it kinda makes Jesus the raddest, even if (when?) it makes us nervous.
