i was today years old when i realised that being gifted means i am in fact legitimately neurodivergent. ig bc it's always talked abt as just being very smart and a completely positive thing with no drawbacks whatsoever even though i know that it's so much more than that. like my brain does work differently and it does in fact not always make my life easier (such as absolutely crippling perfectionism that people tend to not understand)

Jesus is Coming

Some years ago I was walking around the reception tables after a wedding I had performed. An older woman approached me with a question. Almost everyone present at this particular wedding had come from a high church liturgical tradition. In their tradition, they had sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly recited either the Apostle’s Creed or the Athanasian Creed. But apparently, she hadn’t been…

LUKE/ACTS S.O.A.P. ~ LUKE 14

Wednesday, 10/9/24

SCRIPTURE:

"The master said to the servant, ‘Go to the highways and back alleys and urge people to come in so that my house will be filled." ~ Luke 14:23

OBSERVATION:

A lot of folks think the great commission - go to all the ends of the world - means the distant and exotic... 

...but here it's clear... the highways - 

like other drivers on the commute...

like those at the end of the exit ramps...

like those under the overpasses...

...and back alleys...

hidden from the usual walk...

hidden from the daily stream of life...

...and urge - try earnestly and persistently to persuade - people...

I can't force folks to "come in... so that [his] house will be filled..."

It's their decision after all...

...but I can - and should - be continuous, earnest, persistent in my words and actions...

...both to and for and with them directly...

...and to and for them in prayer...

APPLICATION:

Go...

...and urge.

PRAYER:

Inviting Father God - I ask forgiveness for not going and urging - for not following the Spirit's urging - for assuming the whole world is elsewhere when it's also immediately around me... May I remember to pray instead of look away, trusting in Your healing and helping for what I may see as helplessness and hopelessness, both in others and in my inability to do by forgetting Your infinite power and love and willingness to bless... Show me ways to urge, to lead to the door where Jesus stands ready to open and welcome... In His Name, and for Your praise and glory...

As always, yours always, in all ways - because Jesus...

Church notes - 28th July 2024

28th 1 Peter 2:13 - 25 Faithfulness in the face of persecution. vs 13 - 17 Human authority is under God's authority. Honor human authority. Fear God.

vs 15 Do good in God's behalf.

Who grind's on you? Do good to them. Show them God's light.

God's calling to you is to suffer. You will have troubles in this world.

Acts 14:22 1 Thessalonians 3:3 Philippians 1:29

Not mindless pain. It is suffering for the sake of Christ.

Psalm 23 The rod and staff comforting is what we should be focused on, not the valley of the shadow of death.

vs 20

It is for His Name's sake.

By nature we are self centred, but by focusing on God we can stand the world's waves.

God's example to you is Jesus.

The suffering servant. Matthew 16:13 -20

He committed no sin. He was authentic, forgiving, even on the Cross. He entrusted himself to Him who judges justly.

Psalm 121

Courage Isn't Just Something You Can Have; It's Also Something You Can TAKE

“Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord.” (Psalm 31:24, NASB) Courage is an interesting thing, and people try to define it in different ways. Many of us probably first considered courage when we watched “The Wizard of Oz”, and listened to the cowardly Lion wish that he had some. As I recall, he felt having courage would open all kinds of doors for him and create…

"THE REASON WE WORSHIP"

If it’s one man I love and respect, it’s our former President Barack Obama. And I’ve come to discover, that when the President of the United States comes to speak, it’s a rare opportunity. So if you desire to be physically present when he shows up to speak, you better get there hours early because of the mass of people that will be there as well! Think about it, it’s hard to find a place to park,…

synopsis. after you discover your love for gaming, you soon find out that your college won’t let you in any of their e-sports teams due to your gender. but what happens when your twin brother leaves town just before he’s about to start at a new college, where not even NCU’s e-sports captain, lee haechan knows anything about him? there’s only one problem, your brother’s crazy ex is trying to hunt you down. will they all find out your true identity? and will their views on you change if they discover who you really are?

++ will be using the same taglist as my other works for ease, dm if you would like to be removed.

WARNINGS: language, mention of alcohol/being drunk, jokes about death, the plot will divert from the original movie, themes of sexism (at the start), cliffhangers again sorry guys, typos literally everywhere, a littleee bit of violence, small injury detail, heavy on the miscommunication trope… obviously…, lots of angst, things get MESSY, a small (?) plot twist

Worst Trade Ever

We are a sports dominated culture like no culture before us. I include myself. A day isn’t complete for me in the Spring, Summer or Fall without an update on how the Phillies did. Ditto for the Fall and Winter in relation to the Philadelphia Eagles. Both those major sports sometime have so-called “Blockbuster Trades.” So maybe this metaphor makes sense to many. Here’s my version of the worst…

💌 i hope this doesnt find you !

a social media au | scaramouche x gender neutral reader

synopsis you were perfect on paper: school captain, one of the top students, cocaptain of the volleyball team, and a “pleasure to have in class.” it wasn’t easy to be such a model student, especially when you were competing against scaramouche, your rival since you both could barely talk. his competitive streak has annoyed you ever since you were kids, especially since you were working so hard to keep your scholarship while he flashed around his family’s money every other day. but the trick to keeping your sanity was to channel your frustrations into your email drafts. you’d never send them of course, the people pleaser in you would rather die than hurt someone’s feelings. all of your intensely worded emails were usually directed to scaramouche, your annoying cocaptain. you never have to hold back in your emails, because nobody will ever read them. that is, until they’re accidentally sent out. overnight your carefully crafted life is turned upside down now that everyone knows what you truly think of them. but amidst the chaos, there’s one person who grows to appreciate the real you: scaramouche, the only person you’ve sworn to hate.
