From Ford’s Model T to today’s turbocharged SUVs, gasoline and diesel vehicles have shaped economies, lifestyles, and even pop culture. But over the past two (2) decades, electric vehicles (EVs) have steadily crept from novelty status into the mainstream conversation, thanks to companies like Tesla, Rivian, Aptera, Lucid Motors, Telo, Slate, Ford, and a growing number of global automakers determined to lead — or at least survive — the shift.

This day reminds us that God is not distant, but with us, walking alongside us through every joy and trial. Jesus said in John 6:51, ‘I am the living bread that came down from Heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.’ This declaration is a promise of eternal life, but also a call to live in the spirit of Christ daily — to serve with love, to act with compassion, and to be present for one another in times of need. The celebration of Corpus Christi is not only a holy observance — it is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to reflect God’s grace in our own lives. The bread we re...
