Seek the Lord and Live

4 The Lord says this to the family of Israel:

“Seek me so you can live! 5 Do not seek Bethel. Do not visit Gilgal. Do not journey down to Beer Sheba. For the people of Gilgal will certainly be carried into exile, and Bethel will become a place where disaster abounds.” — Amos 5:4-5 | New English Translation (NET Bible) NET Bible® copyright ©1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C.

I Love Israel: Israel confirms it will extend support to families of four Filipinos who died during attacks by Hamas

Welcome back readers, fellow people of faith and supporters of Israel. Last time around, I magnified a GMA Network news report about Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss confirming that Filipinos present in Israel are being taken care of as the Jewish State’s war with Palestinian terrorist group Hamas goes on. The latest news that Filipinos should pay attention to is the Israeli…

god it's almost the baby's fourth birthday and what with covid and the attic being on the living room floor I still haven't picked what books to give him. does anybody have book recommendations for four year olds. he likes construction sites and cars and city infrastructure and minecraft and elemental and tinker bell and birds and the solar system and the ocean and old macdonald and richard scarry and the sword in the stone and cheesy rice and filling his fort with every pillow and cushion in a five mile radius so that you can't see him any more and empathizing with mosquitoes. and one episode of the new adventures of winnie the pooh. the one where the movie usher says "lose your popcorn, kid?"

Amos Burton is what everyone wants their big buff military men to be tbh. He knows how to walk in heels, he's deeply and unapologetically violent, he's good with kids, he finds people he trusts and sticks next to them like their lapdog pitbull that's ready to tear out throats on a moments notice, he's a momma's boy, his sexuality is "i ain't reading all those labels good for you or I'm sorry that happened", he's drawn to found family sisters like a moth to flame, whenever he is treated with genuine kindness he looks like a deer in the headlights, he's great

I've been watching the Expanse for the first time over the last couple of weeks. Just finished episode three of season six and holy shit, it's so good. Easily one of the best sci-fi series ever produced. I'm just disappointed they didn't do the last three books and truncated the sixth season. One of this show's strengths was its pacing and how it was able to tell a compelling story while also doing incredibly deep and brilliant worldbuilding.

The Belter society is amazing, especially the Belter Creole they speak. Which was invented and fleshed out specifically for this show. I love how it parallels the poor and working class here in our world and the exploitation they face. It's brilliant how they give us so many different versions of what their fight for recognition and independence looks like, each with its own unique benefits and flaws.

I think Camina Drummer is my favorite character. I love her strength and fierce loyalty. Her and Naomi definitely dated while she was on the Behemoth. Amos is another fave. I get really strong autistic vibes from him, but a lot of it could also be how he deals with the immense trauma from his childhood. Which is also one of the most interesting and heartbreaking backstories in the show.

There's so much more I could get into to that makes it so great. Like everything that is Chrisjen Avasarala. Or Bobbie's escape on Earth and how it showed Earth wasn't all rich people day drinking. Or the freaking protomolecule! But I think I've rambled enough. lol
