Slacker, Richard Linklater (1990)

[quiche-quibbles]

Something that’s been bugging me lately is the way we Christians been moralizing sex like all those verses we read apply in a total vacuum; without really understanding the surrounding cultural and societal views that governed the way people performed or saw sex, both copulation and in gender roles during the time of Scriptures’ authorship.

And then I came to see sex as having been historically intertwined with societal facets such as power, domination, authority, etc.

I suppose I’ll get to my point. As Christians, is it our responsibility to maintain these cultural/societal views of sex and gender? To persist in the gender essentialist approach that we so often conclude by simplistic reading of Scripture?

Does Scripture demand we continue to place those cultural meanings of sex (ex. where men are supposed to be strong, leaders, women are caretakers, emotional etc, homosexual sex = forever sin without exception) or has there always been room for flexibility and change and that there was a much deeper, more grounding point to all of this? In other words, is there anything in the text that directly points to keeping up this gender essentialist approach despite the fact that how we see sex is now super varied and different among cultures and we’re now aware of our pluralistic society?

Because when you look at the text, I’d argue there’s nothing really universally, anachronistically prescriptive about that. Scripture never demands that women and men should be this or that for all time (otherwise, we wouldn’t be having things like women’s rights). The text we read is more often laws or instructions based on their contemporaries (like the Law books and Paul’s letters to specific churches in the Roman world)and the views of sex that had already existed in their time. Otherwise you see stories of people messing up because they did not honor their fellow imago dei and therefore God (eg Bathsheba, the widows, the woman accused of adultery) or people overcoming or challenging typical gender expectations often to either humble success or triumphant tragedy (eg Deborah, Ruth, Esther, Jael, Mary Magdelene, David & Jonathan, Hosea, Jesus Christ, etc).

Honestly, did authors like Paul and those compiling the Bible ever consider the possibility, for example, that our fight for women’s rights would be a thing and that we’d be debating over whether women could become pastors?

There are obviously universal themes to how we approach sex and gender (namely things like “no female or male under Christ”, passion in Song of Songs, doing right by your partner etc., also linked to themes surrounding the rise and fall of worldly powers like government and religion), but otherwise, are we meant to maintain the views of sex inseparably associated with power and domination (ex gender roles, penetrator vs penetrated, strong vs weak, same vs different) that our forefathers maintained?

Or are they products of the world as well?

Gosh idk if I’m making sense. I guess I’m suggesting that perhaps we ought to view sex from a far simpler and more world-challenging lens: The way we treat the imago dei, as universally demonstrated throughout all of Scripture. We make the judgment based on whether it is the injustice of selfish and harmful hedonism or stringent, equally harmful legalism, or honoring the partner as a precious image of God.

Instead of the typical crap like “oh you’re not married, oh you’re same sex, oh why is the woman calling the shots,” that sort of thing. Cuz it really does feel like we get obsessed with the details rather than the main picture and we’ve been doing it since time immemorial.

Because this world already sees your “worth” based on what you were physically born with, what you can bring to the table, merit, social/economic status, name, influence, success, etc. To focus on the preciousness of the imago dei is a challenge to all of that.

It begs questions about the role of culture and how much of it do we challenge, how much of it do we sit back and let happen or if we’re even supposed to do the latter? Does God’s Kingdom make room for human culture?

naurrr tell me why do i fully believe the bread thing with the priest can actually happen 💀 i can exactly imagine a pompous, self-important priest doing that. also might be a weird question to ask so feel free to ignore, but what Christian Denomination were you raised in? i'm not familiar with what's popular in america and even if i was, i'm sure american christian culture is different from mine's

there are certainly missionaries with good intentions at heart, but i've witnessed some of the wildest conversations about 'serving the least of these' where some deborah or another thinks herself a saint for going to mexico for a day or something. they don't come outright and say it but you pick up the vibe.

i grew up in a baptist church but after some drama with said church (no one ever told me what the drama was, much to my chagrin), i got booted over to nondenominational which is basically the same thing but the pastor wears skinny jeans and can make slightly frisky jokes about his wife now.

some fun facts about little lock's misadventures:

i tried swimming around when i got baptized but the pastor wouldn't let me go too far

my dad wouldn't give me a dollar to buy a muffin once at the church café so i prayed that i'd pass out from hunger so he'd feel bad

i thought my intellectual prowess above the unsophisticated veggie tale-esque lessons in the kid's wing (the place where parents stuff their children during the service if anyone is unfamiliar with the term). i petitioned my parents to go to the regular service instead so i could learn real theology. the sermons were so boring though that i'd fall asleep during each one

i apparently flipped the pastor off as a baby. no clue why

i got in trouble for asking jesus for a pet pig on a prayer request card. to this day i think i should have my records expunged for this non crime

New Demigod Cabin: Aristaeus

Aristaeus is the son of Apollo and the huntress Cyrene, and the god of beekeeping. He's also associated with many rustic and pastoral arts and crafts, which he is said to have learned from his aunts and uncles and then passed on to humans. He married Autonoë, daughter of Cadmus of Thebes, and their son was the hunter Actaeon who was transformed into a stag and torn apart by his own hunting dogs after seeing Artemis naked. Aristaeus accidentally caused the death of Orpheus' wife Eurydice when she stepped on a snake while he was chasing her.

Aristaeus' cabin at Camp Half-Blood is warm and cozy, with and endless supply of honey and a beehive outside the back.

Following the deaths of his son Actaeon and later his mortal wife Autonoë, Aristaeus retreated from the world for many years. But a simultaneous decline in bee health and populations and increased interest in amateur beekeeping in recent decades has caused Aristaeus to begin mingling with mortals once again.

Aristaeus' demigod children are good with words and speeches. They have a strong work ethic and also have faster reflexes, even for demigods. Bees are associated with prophecy and as grandchildren of Apollo, these demigods have a limited degree of foresight, often being able to anticipate opponents' moves.

Chapter twenty four, part four

It wasn't long until both her father and Anna showed up. Anna went off to take care of the children while her father stayed with her. She didn't talk to him. She didn't really listen him either when he talked. Deborah just sat there, breathing in and out. Aidan was dead. She was a widow. She wanted to go to her grandmother but the distance between them seemed even bigger.

The days that followed Aidans dead went by fast and in a rush. She didn't remember very clearly what was happening. Her father did most of the organising. When he asked her questions they were often yes or no questions. That was easy. Just saying yes or no. She couldn't cry much. Sometimes she was angry with Aidan. For passing away on her birthday or leaving her behind with eight children. Most of the time she couldn't care anymore. The funeral was a very sad day. Everybody cried but just as the last funeral she went to, Deborah didn't. She could only stare in silence at the chest of Aidan. His parents were very sad just as his sisters were. The people from church were shocked by the sudden death of their pastor.

Deborah was very thankful for Anna. She cared for her children as they were her own. Deborah just had to take care of herself and Camilla. She didn't abandon her children but it was nice to finaly have someone there to help her. Deborah listend to the pastor her father had flown over for the funeral. Who ever would take over Aidans spot as pastor was yet unkown. She didn't care who would. Like nothing really seemed relevant to her besides her children.

Tipping Point (Jesus at the Tables), poem + art

Tipping Point by Rev. Maren Tirabassi

It was wild there … pigeons flapping, sheep bleating, oxen lowing, tables tipping and tripping every one of us who wanted the coins back we had collected, from those who could afford so little, certainly, only pigeons. (The rich somehow have a way of getting "sacrifices" without one.) I tipped my pigeon cage upright. clucked at those poor frightened ones, feathers everywhere, then scrambled after rolling coins and had my hand on a denarius and a gold aureus, when a young man's hand was there, and I remembered him not able to buy even a bird to celebrate their baby. I'd heard the man with the whip and anger but it was when I looked into this young man's eyes, I let go, "take the common coin, the aureus, too. Here, take Deborah, she is my favorite pigeon, my pet." We stood up and he looked at me and then he let her fly, and we watched her in the sky together, until she came back to my shoulder. Jesus of Nazareth changed a lot that day, but Jonathan of Jericho made it real. Ordinary people always do. I waved good-bye to him and Temple Market, too. https://giftsinopenhands.wordpress.com/2025/04/14/tipping-point/

Her lifelong love of animals and her immersion in spiritual texts and practices have melded in poems and essays that explore how relationships with animals specifically, and an attentive presence in the natural world generally, restore us to our deepest selves. Also the author of Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing, Gayle lives with her husband and Welsh corgi rescue. " Writing about animals and the human-animal bond is the writing that enthralls me. I've found it true, what the thirteenth-century mystic Meister Eckhart said: 'God is equally near in all creatures.' Many human creatures and two corgis have loved me and encouraged my work. Beyond them, the creatures and landscapes of Michigan's west coast, often wounded, open to me wonder after wonder." -- Gayle Boss Sharon Spitz is an award-winning illustrator and graphic designer currently based between Berlin and Haifa.

Sharon enjoys experimenting with various techniques and styles. " All Creation Waits is a kind of bestiary set to an Advent tune. Each day, the life of some creature unfurls before our eyes, with an accompanying prose poem that describes the animal's hibernal activity. Lushly illustrated, each page opens to dream-like portraits of animals in their habitats." -- The Living Church "In this unique blend of Advent musings on the nature of waiting, fascinating facts about animals and birds, and magnificent artwork depicting creatures in their winter habitats, author Gayle Boss and illustrator Sharon Spitz join forces to develop one theme pointing ahead to the birth of Jesus: 'The dark is not an end. It's a door. It's the way a new beginning comes.'" --The Banner "Saying I loved All Creation Waits is an understatement. It moved me and inspired me. My family will be using it to welcome in Christmas, not just once, but for years to come. As a parent, I love the space the book leaves for my own kids' responses and the prompts that are truly at a child's level. It's a delight and my new go-to recommendation for families." -- Meredith Miller, pastor and author of Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kids Don't Have to Heal From "This book is at once gorgeous and glorious, quiet as falling snow, and still as a hibernating animal. It captures the magic and promise of Advent in words and pictures--reminding us, gently but powerfully, of God's love for all His creatures--including us." -- Sy Montgomery, National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestselling author of How to Be a Good Creature "A gorgeous exploration in words and pictures of animals in winter, life in darkness, beauty in nature, the wonder of the world..." -- Deborah Heiligman, author of Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith, a National Book Award Finalist " All Creation Waits is an Advent book as exquisite as it is unusual. In a season which often centers on human stories and celebrates the triumph of light, this enthralling book directs our gaze elsewhere: to our animal kin and what they can teach us about stillness, waiting, and the generative power of darkness. Poetic, wise, stunningly illustrated, and rich in mystery, All Creation Waits is an ideal Advent companion for curious children (and grownups too). I can hardly wait to share it with my own family." -- Laura Alary, author of Look! A Child's Guide to Advent and Christmas and many other books "Beautiful, beckoning, and brimming with hope and promise, wonder and love!" --Sy Montgomery, New York Times bestselling author of How to Be a Good Creature From bestselling author Gayle Boss, a stunningly illustrated picture book edition of her beloved Advent book, All Creation Waits. Now young readers too will be caught up in the wonder of 24 woodland animals adapting to the season of dark and cold. Each day of Advent a different animal shows children its own amazing way to meet the dark and cold. Wood Frog freezes into a frog-shaped cube of ice! For six months Painted Turtle doesn't breathe! Woodchuck can't be wakened, even if shaken! With each creature, children hear the refrain: The dark is not an end. It's a door. It's the way a new beginning comes. Here is the ancient truth of Advent enacted in the lives of 24 common woodland animals and culminating in the birth of the Human One who perfectly lived that truth. Children open the book's double-page spreads as they would the doors on an Advent calendar--one, and only one, each day. "Animal wonderment" reflection questions at the back of the book help children stay with just one animal, one page spread, each day. In an often chaotic "holiday season," children learn to slow down and wait with all creation. Written in lilting poetic lines, children ages 5 to 10 will delight in the sounds of the words as well as the vivid descriptions of animals' winter lives. They'll learn the elegant intricacies of creatures as small as honeybees, as large as black bears. Original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Sharon Spitz convey the radiance of each creature. With this beautiful picture book, adults and families who have loved the original edition of All Creation Waits can now welcome younger children into the practice of reflective waiting-with-creation through Advent.

Chapter twenty two, part one

BIG TIME JUMP!

With her children around her Deborah walked with Israel on her arms towards the front door. It was time for the to leave for her brothers wedding. Aidan was the pastor who would lead the ceremony so they couldn't be too late. Besides, who came late to their own brothers wedding. Her brother was twentytwo years old already. It was weird how fast her siblings grew up to adults. Her little brother wasn't so little anymore. He was taller then she was. And today he would marry Josephine Bardot. He wasn't the first one to marry a Bardot. A few months back her sister Isabel married Kenneth Bardot. It was very idilic. Two friends from two families marrying to friends from the same families. Gabriel and Kenneth were good friends and so were Isabel and Josephine.

Gabriel was already the eigth Levine sibling to marry. Deborah was almost seven years married to Aidan. A couple months before her were Bernice and Christina married and since then were four more siblings married. Bernice had three children now, Christina four. Elisabeth got married to Gunner Stoll and they had a daughter and she was pregnant with their second child, a son. Felix got married to Rebecca Hansley, a younger sister of the husbands of Bernice and Christina. Felix and Rebecca already had a son. Hadassa got married to Garrett Adler and they had a son. She was also pregnant with their second but not that far along to know the gender. She hoped for a girl. Isabel was the last one who got married and she wasn't expecting yet. It probably wouldn't be long until she also got pregnant with her fist child.

“Jonah Repents”

Jonah 2:1-10

Teacher: Elder Deborah Miller

             What is Repentance?  Repentance is the act of acknowledging and feeling remorse for past or current wrongdoings, and then taking steps to change for the better.  It involves a change of heart and mind, turning away from sin, and seeking forgiveness and help from God, via His Son, Jesus Christ. In Christianity, repentance is a key part of walking with God in holiness after turning away from sin.  In some Christian traditions, repentance is central to confession and absolution.  In today’s Sunday school lesson, the prophet Jonah repents.  Question, “Couldn’t God have just chosen one who would have obeyed?”  Join me for Sunday school.

Nicole Kardar, 40, grew up in the small, conservative city of Andersonville, Georgia. Raised by strict, religious parents, Michael Kardar (68), a high school principal, and Deborah Kardar (65), a church secretary, Nicole’s childhood was deeply rooted in faith, discipline, and academic achievement. Her older brother, David Kardar (42), became a youth pastor, and her younger sister, Rebecca Kardar (36), is a high school math teacher, reflecting the values of structure and responsibility that their parents instilled in all of them.

Nicole excelled academically, earning a scholarship to the University of Kentucky, where she began her studies in education. However, during her second semester of freshman year, Nicole became pregnant after a short relationship, a life-altering event that forced her to drop out. Fearing her parents’ disapproval, she chose not to tell them about the pregnancy, cutting off contact and setting out on her own to raise her daughter. She took a job at a daycare to provide for herself and her child, seeing it as the best option for balancing work and motherhood.

At 21, Nicole met Robert “Bob” Carter (then 34), an older man who owned a used car dealership. Bob provided Nicole with stability, and they quickly married. Their marriage was highly traditional. Nicole adopted the role of a stay-at-home mom, cooking, cleaning, and caring for their daughter, Lila, while Bob took on the role of the breadwinner. Nicole found comfort in the structure of her life, embracing activities like knitting, sewing, baking, and reading as hobbies to fill her time. Despite the outward appearance of a perfect life, Nicole always felt a bit unfulfilled but didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. She preferred to maintain the status quo, avoiding confrontation and doing her best to keep everything peaceful.

After twelve years of marriage, Nicole began to feel increasingly restless, feeling as though she could achieve more. She believed her life had become stagnant and initiated a separation from Bob, even though they tried counseling on and off for three more years before eventually divorcing. Their split, however, was amicable, with Nicole still valuing the role Bob had played in her life, but knowing she needed more for herself.

Now divorced, Nicole has decided to return to school to pursue a degree in health care administration, eager to make something of herself outside of her traditional homemaker role. Her return to academia has reignited the ambition she had in her youth, and she’s determined to build a career that both challenges her and provides a sense of accomplishment.

Nicole is reserved, highly organized, and careful not to disrupt the balance in her personal or professional life. Though she prefers not to stir up drama or confrontation, Nicole is quietly determined and knows what she wants for her future. Her daughter, Lila (20), is now in college studying psychology with the aim of becoming a therapist. Nicole is incredibly proud of Lila and has focused much of her energy on supporting her daughter’s ambitions, just as she is beginning to focus on her own.
