"I Can't Take It Anymore!"

God is not the one authoring the harm. That is on the broken world, all the broken people (including you and me) in the world with our sharp edges, and the powers of evil that hate God and all that is good and lovely. But God does not leave it there.

Published almost twenty years ago, “Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To” by Anthony DeStefano changed how I pray and how I experience God’s answers to my prayer. I’ll be spending the next few weeks talking about what I got from his book, and how applying the principles in this book to my own life changed me. Paul, a Man of Suffering “… we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made…

Plastic Man recaps his origin to Woozy Winks by Stephen DeStefano

[wanderingmind867]

It's not pure luck, I don't think. That maze knew to bring food when his friends weren't in the mood to cook...this man is an intuitive soul, with a gift for knowing what people need. You never underestimate the weird people. This man may have been in a mental hospital for a long time (that is heavily implied), but he's also the sweetest and kindest man you'll ever know. I think this book is one of the closest things DC has to Howard the Duck. It's this and Blue Devil. Those two are the closest things to HTD at DC. And that's the highest praise you can get from me. Steve Gerber and Bill Mantlo had genius runs on Howard the Duck. They made me feel emotions Strong, powerful emotions. They made me laugh while almost making me cry. And this book is doing the same thing. It's beautiful. ('Mazing Man #1):

Meta joke hardy-har

Plastic Man is currently a fixation of mine. He has to share my brain with CatDog, one of my favorite characters ever. Thus...

I aspire to have Andy Suriano's linework sigh

"What's In It for Me?"

The Bible also talks about being good stewards, being responsible as well as generous. You and I cannot spend what is not ours, what is supposed to cover our obligations.  But we can be responsible and generous, just as God is.

Published almost twenty years ago, “Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To” by Anthony DeStefano changed how I pray and how I experience God’s answers to my prayer. I’ll be spending the next few weeks talking about what I got from his book, and how applying the principles in this book to my own life changed me.

“On tiptoes the redhead wouldn't even reach my shoulders; she is clearly too young to be a bride.

And the willowy girl is too forlorn. And I am too unwilling.

Yet here we are.”-@laurendestefanoauthor ‘Wither’ (The Chemical Garden trilogy ) a long overdue “redraw” of my first attempt at capturing them in 2019. also I realized about 3 days into this that I dressed them like a stoplight 🚦 oh well😅. I reread the first book via audible while drawing this the past couple of weeks and it’s still just so fun , seriously check them out if you haven’t read them 💖🙏
