Once Again my father is seeking to set me up with conservative Reformed Midwestern men
#he does it in such respectful reasonable paragraphs of text#and genuinely this guy seems great. pastor homeowner loves my family a lot#how do i tell my father it's me hi i'm the problem it's me#without telling him i'm 1) intentionally refusing to live near my family 2) much more liberal than he thinks on most issues#and 3) actually literally choosing my career (option to pursue the teaching vocation i've been preparing for)#over a man (in a denomination that believes i should never be listened to as theologian in church and possibly in the rest of life)

The best thing about the annual observance of Christmas is that reminds me of the simple fact that I love God.
Over the course of a year, it’s easy to get stuck on this or that issue of theology, this or that unanswered prayer. If you’re anything like me, you pursue that issue in prayer, in Bible study, in reading, in conversation, trying to make sense of it, to make the wrinkles lay flat against your soul. You stalk the questions down and in a way, that struggle becomes a focal point of your faith.
You might even think, when you’re feeling particularly unsettled, “At least I’m taking my faith seriously by struggling with the hard questions. It would be much worse to be complacent.”
And then, every year, Advent comes, and there are Christmas carols and readings from the Prophets. There are angels and lights and stars. Jonathan Toomy finishes carving the widow’s nativity set, Linus recites from Luke, a choir performs the Hallelujah chorus, and the beauty of it pierces through the questions and the struggle. Every year, the overpowering glory of the Incarnation and all that follows is brought to the forefront of my mind and it enraptures me. Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices. I bring you good news of great joy.
Every year, Christmas reminds me that I’m not only a Christian in order to struggle with hard questions. I’m not even a Christian because I am convinced that the Bible is true. Even the demons believe in God -- I am a Christian because I love Him. His beauty can move me to tears.
Every year at Christmas, God woos me all over again.
#for me this year it's been epistemological doubts#the pastor at the church where i grew up did some not great stuff#and lied about it#and it's left me questioning what i've heard him say from the pulpit over the years#i've caught him in at least one major error and it was a pretty big one#that left me pretty shaken once i understood it#so i've been struggling with ideas of God as the final arbiter of truth this past year or so#there's a lot more to it this is very surface level#and then Christmas forces me to take a breath and just be like#'oh that's right. Jesus is really beautiful.'#unto us a child is born#pontifications and creations

Season 5 and season 6 spoilers of Young Sheldon!!!
Honestly I wouldn't mind having Georgie Cooper as my baby daddy. Yeah he f***ed up and made a huge mistake, but he is working on better himself. Like trading in his mustang for a baby safe car, work more, going grocery shopping for his baby mama, letting her stay with him when she needed help with rent, breaking into her apartment to get her stuff back when she was kicked out, he is worried about being a bad dad. That's all I have, I have only seen a few episodes of season 6 and it just came out on Netflix today. But as I said, Georgie Cooper = going to be an amazing dad
Also HATE YOU PASTOR JEFF
#young sheldon#georgie cooper#sheldon cooper#missy cooper#george cooper#meemaw#mary cooper#Mandy#i dont know how to soell her last name#great father#medford#texas#pastor jeff#we hate him

One of my favorite hobbies is opening the Genius annotations of lyrics I'm checking purely to roast the absolutely ATROCIOUS "analysis" some people throw up with full confidence on that site, oh my god.
#this was about 'the garden' by the crane wives today but I do this with some regularity lmfao#somebody literally went 'the line about hammers and nails is clearly a reference to the crucifixion of jesus'#WHEN THE ENTIRE SONG IS ABOUT BEING BURIED IN THE GROUND. IT IS A REFERENCE TO COFFINS BABE.#you canNOT just jump from eden to the fucking crucifixion oh my god. I cannot deal#what are you a protestant youth pastor??? NO#what kind of bullshit conjecture#YOUR ANALYSIS IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD!!!#god something else just came out and I was looking at lyrics like 'holy hell they really just let you say anything here.'#like I do think genius is great for finding references to things the artist actually said about what they were writing about#but if you're gonna do specific textual analysis you NEED to actually write out the argument#a lot of it is flat out wrong but some of it is like 'maybe you're right but this is so disconnected that you NEED to make the connection'

I don't like holding baby-babies and babies don't really like me very much (I think that they can sense fear; mom mutuals weigh in?) however every ~18 month old I've ever met finds me enchanting and mystical and fun and I in turn am not quite so afraid of hurting them or scaring them so it all works out
#the youth pastor's toddler loves me 👍#I like toddlers for the most part I just cannot do little tiny babies though and I can't stand the idea of ever having my own kids#playing with other people's is great though skfjskgnsknfskv#Lu rambles

I post @quiddie all the time because, yes, she is a goddess of TTRPG but she is also the same kind of weird as the rest of the fandom. So, even if I don't know her, I feel like she'll be cool with it.
@nickmarini and @noshirdalal have seen my posts and... look... I am just going to apologize up front for being weird. You're just good at your play pretend job and I like it a lot. Don't judge me!
#cr downfall#the dawnfather is a 15 year old youth pastor#and the emissary is just a lil guy who is actually very dangerous when he wants to be#y'all are doing so great

#church delights from today#I said wow out loud like 7 times just driving there because the trees and bushes are so resplendently beautiful this week#sermon was really good (on Philip’s ‘show us the Father’)#also the pastor referenced That Hideous Strength so well in the sermon??#in a sudden silence the pastor’s little son in the row in front of me cronched loudly on a communion cup#also one of the songs I realized I was singing the tenor part and my friend next to me (guy) was on the alto line#not unusual for him but for some reason it just amused me greatly#and then lunch was great afterwards and I had some really fun conversations:)#oh and! I’m building closer relationships with the youth group kids and am really enjoying that

D&D groups are supposed to get closer as they move through their campaigns, characters bonding through mutual sacrifice, struggle, and triumphs.
our characters have only started hating each other more
#to be clear: we as players are having a great time#our characters are all about 2.6 seconds away from murdering someone else in the party at any given time#the only one who doesn't have a set arch nemisis is our bard who is trying desperately hard to be friends with everyone#whats the opposite of a found family because we are ROCKETING towards it as fast as possible#its like if you stuck a youth pastor. a detective who steals from every house he investigates. a golden retriever. an agoraphobic lumberjac#and a lizard in the same room together and just see what happens#the answer is chaos and at least one person getting bitten#dnd#d&d memes#dnd memes#dungeons and dragons

just talked to the guy whose airbnb i used to help clean and he is getting a new studio in the town i work in and it sounds like he would be willing to rent it to me for less than what i'm currently paying 👁️👄👁️
#its in the same building as a smoothie shop and theres a 3 bedroom upstairs but it can't be worse than the current suburb situation#he is a landlord/pastor (☠️) who lives in a whole other state which i obviously think is fundamentally kind of evil but you know#its like a mile from my workplace and walking distance to all kinds of things#what i really want is to live in the cute ass town in the opposite direction and it is not a feasible commute (its like a 1:15 hour drive)#but i can't even get an email response regarding jobs there so whatever#this is great because i have barely unpacked and still have all the boxes i used haven't even broken them down ajdhsksb#me

sry my beef eith that pastor is unending i fucking hate that guy like ugh . he soent maybe 5 minutes talking abt the actual ppl who actually died and then spent 2 hours just preaching and telling us we were all going to hell. is that how it is at all christian funerals. protestant i think if that means anything.
#like he tried to talk himself up abt how close he was eith alda mae and didnt even pronounce her fucking name righttt#and i remember talking with my papaw after granbys service and he was like I fucking hate that guy .#but its like her whole side of the family is buried in this one specific cemetery and her mom was at that funeral home and then a year later#alda mae went to that funeral home like. yk. its judt like The funeral home for that part of the family but god all of us fucking hate it#like nobody liked the service. even if the guy was aldas pastor maybe the extended family liked it better#but like. my immediate/immediate extended family (papaw cousins aunts uncles and then like. immediate) All of us were pissed w how grannys#funeral went. yk. UGH it made me so mad.#nd like. idk. idt thats what my granny would've wanted like . she was religious but i dont think she wouldve wanted the guy preaching to us#abt how we were going to hell. like i think she wouldve cussed him out DJFNFJNG. yk. my granny was not like. a good person . tbh.#tip if an older southern relative you rly rly rly love dies Donttt check their facebook bc yr sad and you miss them and just want to see#their face again. it will rly sour your opinion on them quite quickly. but yk. it did make me mad that service. bc i love my granny and that#service was justtt awful. but it was nice being in the cemetery yk. i cleaned up my great grand tombstone my aunt shae got to see her dad nd#everything. i still havent been able to actually see grannys proper tombstone outside of findagrave but i wanna try n visit this year . if#we get a car. you know. bc the picture is nice its a joint one for her and my papaw. who is not dead yet Obviously and hopefully wont be for#a longgg time hes young. i think hes like 60ish. so hes still got a while thank god. but mannn. wtvr.

Giant personal vent time
This guy stole somewhere between 3 to 6 MILLION dollars from my grandmother by conning my great aunt into signing over her estate and medical & financial power of attorney to him literally on her death bed
I and my aunt have been working basically a whole second job the last 3 months trying to get together a legal case to go after this guy. And now my grandma wants to drop it. And no one else has standing so what the fuck can we do.
This man has absolutely done this to other ppl before, there is no doubt in my mind. I’ve seen his property records for just what’s publicly available in my county and it’s sketchy as hell. I am never going to get over this but there’s nothing I can do.
Gonna put like a million more thoughts in the tags because I’m losing my fucking mind.
#it’s not like we don’t have the money#the estimated legal fees are like $100k but we’d definitely get it back from the estate in the end#but grandma doesn’t want to look like she’s going after her sister’s money#and she won’t admit she has dementia so I’m not allowed to tell the lawyer that she can’t handle testifying#so he just thinks we’re being wishy washy#and my aunt is so conflict avoidant she won’t tell the lawyer anything that’s happening that he could absolutely be helping with#and my dumbass step cousin is so conflict avoidant he’d literally rather let the family business go bankrupt than actually deal with this#why the fuck did she make him ceo#I know why she trusted this guy but jfc whyyyy did she trust him#god if only I had a time machine I’d go back 6 months and make sure we kicked him out of her house#I really really didn’t think he’d go this far. I just thought he was a weird dude she was being too nice to#but no. actual con artist#the more we learn the worse it gets#and grandma just cannot handle it. even though she has the money!! I’m so mad#I wanna email every reporter I can think of until I find someone willing to publish an article about this guy#so that at least that way someone would see how fucking sketchy he is when they Google him#so that maybe the next person won’t fall for it#is there some kind of legal action you can take that’s basically just like#hey we’re not willing to spend years to prove that you’re evil#but just for the record we need everyone to know you suck and we hate you#like just so ppl know#maybe I should ask our pastor to send out a PSA to all the other little old ladies at church#since that’s how my great aunt met him in the first place#I could get at least 3 good books out of all the drama in my fucking family I think#one for this whole thing. one for my dad’s insane parents. and one for all the bad decisions I made in Seattle
