DOWN & UP

How often do we use the words “down“and “up” in everyday life. The more times we use the word up the better life can be. She bent down and then raised up. Turn the music down; no, turn it up. Johnny knocked me down, but Charlie lifted me up. The sun goes down, but at dusk it comes up to start a new day. I sat down next to her but soon got up. I put the luggage down so he could lift it…

Transcript:

Darrell: C’mon, Mik. Mikaela: We’re letting strangers into the house now? I think oughta stay n’ make sure-… Isaac: They’re mommy’s old colleagues.

Mikaela: Prove it. Joslyn: How about, we do as we’re told? Isaac: We’ll gather some evidence later, go on…

…

Darrell: I don’t think-… Mikaela: What’s trafficking? Darrell: Erm.. controlling the flow of traffic n’ stuff, cars, roads, whatever…

Mikaela: We shouldn’t be listening, should we? Darrell: Uh, no. Mikaela: Maybe we should do something else.

…

Eugene: Well, I wasn’t expecting all that… Isaac: You didn’t tell me about no home visit. Joslyn: I didn’t see the point in worrying you.

Norma: You should’ve told us. Joslyn: Maybe I should’ve, but I didn’t think it was a good idea, not with Spencer still in control. Norma: Thankfully, he’s no longer an issue.

Eugene: I’m impressed how much they managed to achieve without any help. Joslyn: Oscar’s very determined, and more than a little reckless. Norma: Clearly! Although, if you came to us; we could’ve done this properly.

Joslyn: I tried to pass it on; though it didn’t go unnoticed-.. working the Bay was as boring as it gets, I was glad to retire. Isaac: [scoffs] That’s a lie. Eugene: We want you to come and work with us again.

Norma: As we correctly assumed, Mr Finch and co. know much more than they’re letting on; I have more questions now than when we set out-.. we’re hoping they’ll help us fill the gaps, especially given what happened to his girlfriend. Joslyn: What happened to his girlfriend?

Eugene: Mr Flanagan told us she wound up in Del Sol after being kidnapped, Mr Finch spent over a month out there looking for her. Isaac: Jesus-… Joslyn: Why do you need me?

Norma: They’re not going to trust us, but based on what you’ve told us; they might trust you. Joslyn: I wouldn’t count on that. Isaac: C’mon, since when did you ever leave a case half finished?

Joslyn: [sighs] They’re good people-.. they’ve risked so much to get this far; I can’t take everything away from them now. Isaac: If they’re good folk, then they have nothing to be afraid of. Joslyn: We all know what people are capable of when they’re backed into a corner…

Eugene: This is bigger than them. Joslyn: Exactly, they deserve a little leeway. If I convince them to speak with you, I want you to promise you’ll do right by them. Norma: You have our word.

Isaac: That’s sorted then? Joslyn: I suppose. Isaac: I’ll let the inquisitors back in.

Eugene: We’re about to be interrogated, aren’t we? Joslyn: [laughs] By the very best. Norma: Aha, let’s see how it feels when the tables are turned.

Ok, so the Stone triplets, I have a lot to say.

Jacob Stone was raised by their biological father Isaac Stone. Stone being all of their original last names (I'll get to the name changes later). I think their biological mom died which is what caused the separation of the brothers. I'd say this happened at an age in which they remember their mom and growing up together, but still young enough to have spent some of their childhood apart. Isaac Stone is known to be an alcoholic and deadbeat, I'd also argue abusive so he separated the twins, keeping only Jacob, the most agreeable of the three who he thinks he can make carry on the family business.

Alex was taken in by his uncle Danny as stated in s1e7. Danny says his folks couldn't take care of him anymore and left Alex with him. Alex was subsequently raised in a life of crime, lying, cheating, and stealing. I think Danny is their mom's brother and Isaac dumped Alex off onto him and Alex changed his last name to Walker to match Uncle Danny's.

Although Eliot says he was dropped at a hopital as a baby and then adopted by Billy, I think this is a lie and Eliot came to them when he was older after the death of his biological mother. I believe the Spencer's found Eliot in the hospital in Oklahoma, where both the Stones and Billy lived and took him in from there. Eliot then changed his name to his adoptive parents. We can assume the house in Oklahoma City that Eliot visits and doesn't get an answer at in The Low Low Price Job is Billy's. In The Bucket Job, Eliot has a contact in his phone labeled Dad (Billy) and "J." He is shown to text J so it can be assumed that Eliot and Jacob have had a little bit of contact, but Eliot says that he hasn't had contact with his Dad since he was 18. Now we don't actually know that Spencer is Billy's last name. It could be an alias Eliot used after leaving the military and becomes a little less than legal in his activities. Billy's last name could be Carson (Eliot is seen wearing a Carson Hardware shirt, and we know Billy had a hardware store). This could make Eliot's legal last name Carson.

(Sorry, there is a lot more)

When Eliot was 18, he enlisted in the military and left. I think this is what stopped the contact between him and Jacob, and contact between Alex and the other two decreased and eventually stopped as Alex was with Uncle Danny.

In the Miracle Job Eliot mentions having a nephew. This could imply another sibling whither biological or adoptive, or that Evelyn Walker is trans and Eliot didn't know.

Eliot goes through his time in the military, then as a hitter and retrieval expert, his time with Moreau, and then eventually with Leverage. Alex gets married and has a daughter, becomes a well known DEA agent and eventually divorced and ends up in the Philippines. Alex works for Isaac Stone for a bit while amassing secret degrees eventually leaving the family business under the guise of working a similar job somewhere else when he is working for The Library.

Eliot hears about Alex's DEA fame through the crime grapevine and Alex catches wind of the notorious Eliot Spencer whom he suspects is his brother but can't seem to ever find enough information on to confirm. They however do not have contact. Eliot finds out about Jacob working for the Metropolitan Library as an art historian after Jacob gains the confidence to publish under his own name through Sophie who admires his work and would love to con him. This prompts the first contact since they were 18 from Eliot (with the help of Hardison's computer skills but Eliot asked Hardison not to ask questions). Eliot also establishes Jacob off limits as a mark for Sophie with no context.

Eve Baird knows about DEA legend Alex Walker. As previously mentioned, Sophie knows about Jacob Stone as an art historian. Sophie and Maggie die and pester Eliot once they find out he knows thee Jacob Stone, Dr Oliver Thompson, and all the other aliases Jacob has published under. Read more in another wonderful Stone Triplets post here.

Now, there are options about how this reconnection could go. A combo of a con and clippings book quest in the Philippines leading to Alex. Or a vacation in Portland for our Filipino friends where they and the LITs end up in the Portland brew pub (since that's where the annex is). Or they finally decide to reach out to each other.

I'm team Eliot decides he wants to reach out, especially after reconnecting with Billy and texting a bit with Jacob. So they all meet in a neutral location. Obviously, they bring their found families with them. And oh dear, it's Bisexual Disaster Polycule³. Kai and Ernesto are terrified to find out there are two more Alex's but they are actually cool, they are however trying to actively ignore the not quite legal business Alex's gruff looking brother Eliot seems to have going on. They've heard stories about The Eliot Spencer, but Alex trusts him, so they will too. Mostly. Ezekiel can not believe he is meeting THE Parker. And it's stealing for a good cause! He wants to work with Leverage immediately. Cassandra is so excited to meet Jacob's family (especially since meeting Isaac didn't go very well). She and Hardison are stoked to pick each other's brains. Jacob assures Eve that it's ok to tell his brothers the truth. Parker, Breanna, and Hardison both die a little upon finding out about the existence of magic. They all three have a billion and one questions and Breanna practically begs for an apprenticeship under Jenkins, wanting to learn more about the back door and his other inventions. (Jenkins decided best not to share his true identity for avoidance of the endless questions bound to erupt). The Filipino trio try not to think too hard about the magic stuff. Jacob is lightly concerned about the art theft, but he Sophie and Maggie immediately set up a brunch. Jacob and Ernesto talk martial arts, and Eliot compliments both of their styles. Alex and Parker talk about being raised in crime. Alex is amazed that he's the one who was raised in lying and stealing, but it's the other two brothers who do that now. Jacob is very offended and insists he is not a thief and that retrieving dangerous artifacts is not theft. When they part ways and Alex goes back to his gift shop, he is surprised to find out from Corey that rent has been paid for several months in advance. Also, upon meeting, it was noted of the stark similarity between Harry and Flynn only to find out that Flynn is Harry's estranged, eccentric cousin. What a small world.

They chat, they catch up on eachothers lives, and they agree to keep in touch. For real this time. They plan to spend holidays together, combining the three found families into a chaotic but loving mess.

It should also be noted that I haven't seen Angel yet, but Lindsay is a cousin. They also have a weird cousin from Texas named Lee Webb. Back to when I mentioned that we don't know that Spender is Billy's last name. Eliot could have taken inspiration from a family member with the last name Spencer. (It could be his mom if she and her brother Danny Walker have different last names or another family member). Thereby connecting Shawn Spencer to be a cousin. The thought of him at a family reunion with Eliot, Jacob, and Alex is too funny to ignore. Especially when you remember Parker's thing about psychics and how much Sophie would absolutely adore the long con game on the SBPD.

Unbroken Promises-Derek Hale

“Dude, that was Derek Hale! You remember right? He’s only a few years older than us.”

“Remember what?” 

“His family. They burned to death in a fire like, 4 years ago.”

“I wonder what he’s doing back…” 

…………………………………………….

“Isaac let’s go we have to meet somebody.” Derek called to Isaac who was upstairs in his room. 

Isaac made his way down the staris confused as to where they were going. “Is it a new pack member?” He asked while he threw on his jacket. “No.”

“Is it Scott?” Again Derek replied the same, “No.” They rode down the elevator both leaning against the back wall. “Are you going to tell me who it is before we get there?” 

Derek smiled and looked at him before walking through the open elevator doors, “No.” 

Isaac groaned and got in Derek’s camero and started watching the scenery as they drove to this mysterious place. 

When they came to a stop, around 35 minutes later, Isaac looked up and saw a small diner in front of them, “This? This is the place we needed to come to? Who are we possibly meeting here?” 

Derek stayed silent as he opened his door and started walking towards the entrance.

……………………………

Inside the diner a young woman was walking around dropping orders at different tables. “What can I get you two?” Delilah asked the two kids sitting at the counter next to their grandmother. “Cake!” They both screamed out.

Delilah went to respond before hearing the doorbell ring, she walked over to the front counter area, “Hi I’ll be right with…you?” She looked up and froze when she saw the face of Derek Hale. The last person she ever expected to see. 

“Hey Del.” Derek said with a small smile. Isaac went to step forward but Derek held his hand out keeping him at a distance from the woman. “Careful.” 

Isaac chuckled, “Of her? What’s the big dea-” He was cut off by a piece of bread hitting the side of his face. 

“Get out!” Delilah yelled as she continued to throw the objects closer to her at Derek. Isaac at this point had stepped away and went to sit in a far booth. Derek dodged the food making no attempt to stop her until she ran out of edible items and reached for a glass bowl next to her. 

“Hey, hey please. I know you don’t want to see me but I need your help. Please Del.” Derek approached her, carefully, and now stood across from her seperated by the counter. “Do not, call me that Derek Hale. Why the hell are you here?” 

Derek’s head dropped, he had missed her voice. Even if it was the one that was upset and close to cursing him out, he wished he could hear it all day. “Delilah, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t need to be. I’m not trying to hurt you, the kid behind me, Isaac, he needs your help too.” 

Delilah released her grip on the glass and looked over Derek’s shoulder at the teenager, “Now, now you need me? What about when I needed you Derek. I tried to help you before but you left. I was there for you when your family died and you left me. No calls, no texts, nothing. But now you’re asking me for help? Get out Derek and don’t come back. Please.”

As she said ‘please’ Derek could hear her voice crack and could tell she was on the verge of tears. He nodded afraid that if he tried to speak, he himself, would cry. 

Derek turned around and motioned for Isaac to follow him as he made his way out the door and to his car.

…………………..

“I’m sorry about that.” Delilah said walking back over to the 3 at the opposite end of the counter. “And are you planning to start work at all today? You’re not retired yet mom.” The grandmother of the two, Jane, sighed and stood up before making her way around the counter.

“Well excuse me for wanting to spend some time with my grandbabies. Who was that by the way?” She asked throwing in apron on. “Just, an old friend.” Delilah said before walking over to her twins. “And for you two,” She messed up their hair-Eli and Taliah-laughing.

“Who said you could get cake at this time?” Delilah was moved over by her mother who placed two slices of cake down in front of the 4 year olds. “I did. Now hush and get back to work. Mr.Johnson’s ready for his check.” 

Delilah nodded and kissed her kids heads before walking away, thoughts rambling around in her head. 

Why was Derek here? Why now? She couldn’t begin to explain the pain of wanting to run into his arms and knowing she should stay away. After all, he left her, and even thought she wanted to pretend she didn’t love him anymore, she couldn’t. How could she, he was her first boyfriend, her first love, her first everything.

And the father of her children.

[dreamlover31]

We'll it's been 5 seasons but we've reached the end of the Mayans MC series, for those of you who have yet to watch the series finale I suggest you avoid reading this post... especially for you Miguel Galindo fans

First I'd like to start with the moment we've all been waiting for...the timely demise of Ezekiel Reyes, when Bishop reveals to everyone that EZ the rat and Creeper was killed because he knew, he gets both EZ and Angel pinned down by Gilley and the others...at that moment Bishop gives Angel a choice, kill your brother to prove to us that you had no knowledge or they kill them both

Now naturally Angel is not going to lose the only living blood relative he has but EZ reassures him that it's the only way he can be there for his son Maverick...so reluctantly Angel stabs his brother and the rest of the MC take turns stabbing him until he's dead, now I know it's a fucked up position to be in but in the end Angel gets to be a father to Maverick and that's good enough for me

Speaking of which, turns out that Sofia... EZ's girlfriend is in fact pregnant and if course I had my reservations about it given her track record as a mother and the baby daddy but that problem took care of itself when Bottles shoots Sofia after they've finished killing EZ... tying up loose ends as they say

And then of course Marcus has welcomed another son with his wife, basically the theme of fatherhood is apparent in this episode but the fact that both Angel and Marcus will be there to raise their sons and not have a dark cloud looming over them made it the perfect way to end the series

However, there will be one little boy who won't have that chance...sorry to say guys but Cristobal won't be having anymore playful moments with his dad because his mother shot him. Emily avenged her sister's death by shooting not only Miguel but the bodyguard Luis...I know this is devastating to all you Miguel fans out there but I never cared for the man so his death like EZ's was a long time coming

So all in all, I'm so glad at the way everything turned out, 3 psychopaths dead (EZ, Miguel and Isaac) both Emily and Angel as well as Marcus are free to raise their children without fear and death hanging over them although it is a bittersweet victory since everyone's favorite corrupt DEA agent Potter is still running the show but you take what you can get right lol

101 Bible Stories: A Journey Through Scripture

The Bible, often described as the greatest story ever told, is a timeless source of wisdom, inspiration, and moral guidance. Within its pages, you'll find stories that have shaped cultures, changed lives, and offered hope to countless people over millennia. From the creation of the world to the resurrection of Christ, these 101 Bible stories represent key moments in the unfolding narrative of God's relationship with humanity. Each story carries with it a unique lesson, rich with meaning and relevance for people of all ages and walks of life.

The Beginning: Creation and the Fall

Among the 101 Bible stories, it all begins with the creation of the world. In Genesis, God forms the heavens and the earth, setting the stage for all of existence. The story of Adam and Eve, the first humans, is central to this section. Their disobedience in the Garden of Eden introduces sin into the world, a theme that recurs throughout the Bible. In these early passages, readers are introduced to key elements that will be present throughout all 101 Bible stories: the power of God, human frailty, and the promise of redemption.

Stories of Faith and Courage

As we delve deeper into the 101 Bible stories, we encounter figures like Noah, Abraham, and Moses—people whose faith was tested in extraordinary ways. Noah, for example, was tasked with building an ark to survive the great flood. This story of survival and divine intervention remains one of the most well-known among the 101 Bible stories. Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac is another profound narrative, illustrating the depth of faith required to follow God’s will. Each of these stories encourages us to trust in God, even in times of uncertainty.

The Exodus and the Law

The story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt is perhaps one of the most iconic in the collection of 101 Bible stories. The Exodus marks the birth of a nation and showcases God's deliverance of His people from bondage. The parting of the Red Sea, the Ten Commandments, and the journey through the wilderness are all dramatic events that shape the identity of Israel. These stories demonstrate God's guidance, justice, and covenant with His chosen people, making them central to the narrative of the Bible. Get it on Amazon Today

Kings and Prophets

Among the 101 Bible stories, the era of kings and prophets is filled with intrigue, power, and divine revelation. The story of David and Goliath is a classic example, symbolising how God can use the most unlikely individuals to achieve great things. David’s rise to kingship and his struggles with sin add layers of complexity to this hero of faith. Alongside these tales, prophets like Elijah and Isaiah emerge, delivering God's messages of repentance and hope. These stories remind us that God remains ever-present, guiding and correcting His people.

Miracles and Parables of Jesus

When we think of 101 Bible stories, the life and teachings of Jesus naturally take centre stage. The New Testament introduces us to the miracles and parables that have defined Christian faith for centuries. From turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana to feeding the five thousand with just a few loaves and fish, Jesus’ miracles showcase His divine power and compassion. His parables, such as the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan, offer moral lessons that resonate deeply with readers of all ages. These stories are integral to understanding Jesus’ mission on earth and form the heart of the Gospel.

The Passion and Resurrection

Among the 101 Bible stories, none are more powerful than the Passion and Resurrection of Christ. His crucifixion on the cross represents the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of humanity. But it is His resurrection that provides the hope and promise of eternal life. This story, celebrated by Christians around the world at Easter, is the culmination of God's plan for salvation. It signifies that through Christ, death has been conquered, and redemption is available to all.

Stories of the Early Church

The book of Acts introduces us to the formation of the early Church and continues the narrative of the 101 Bible stories. Here, we see the apostles spreading the Gospel, performing miracles, and facing persecution for their faith. The story of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples, marks the birth of the Church. Stories of Peter and Paul’s missionary journeys highlight the growth of Christianity across the Roman Empire, showing how the message of Jesus spread like wildfire despite immense challenges.

Lessons for Today

As we reflect on these 101 Bible stories, it becomes clear that the Bible is not just a collection of ancient tales. Each story offers timeless lessons that are relevant to our lives today. Whether it’s the story of Joseph and his brothers, teaching us about forgiveness, or the tale of Jonah and the whale, reminding us of the importance of obedience, these narratives speak to the human condition. They address themes such as faith, love, betrayal, redemption, and the power of God’s grace.

The Bible: A Source of Hope and Inspiration

At the heart of these 101 Bible stories is the consistent message of hope. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible presents a narrative in which God is actively involved in the lives of His people. Even in moments of despair, God’s presence can be felt, guiding individuals through their struggles. This is particularly evident in the story of Job, who endured immense suffering yet remained faithful, ultimately being restored by God.

Passing Down the Stories

These 101 Bible stories have been passed down through generations, not only in written form but also through oral tradition, art, and song. They have inspired countless works of literature, music, and even film. For many, these stories serve as a foundation for faith, offering a roadmap for how to live a life aligned with God’s will. In teaching these stories to children, parents and educators continue the tradition, ensuring that the messages of the Bible remain alive and relevant in today's world.

Conclusion: The Living Word

The Bible, with its 101 stories, is often described as a living text because it continues to speak to us today. Its stories transcend time and culture, offering wisdom and guidance for those who seek it. As you journey through these 101 Bible stories, may you find not only inspiration but also a deeper understanding of God’s love and purpose for humanity.

an easy way to make a list of people to block on desktop is to go to the reblogs, highlight every reblog, and paste it into textfixer.com's alphabetical order tool, set the input and output to "line break", and select "remove duplicates".

This will put all the URLS in alphabetical order. Remove the one that just says "avatar" since that's a placeholder for people's icons. Remove the "x hours ago" at the top.

anyways.

here's just some of the Zionists for you all to block, not including all the ones who liked the post since that's more difficult because it includes their blog header when you copy and paste.

La soluzione è non avere paura

Commento Utente Uno: la paura della morte.

Scienza e religione non sono due aspetti così incompatibili. Estrema razionalità può tranquillamente coesistere con estrema irrazionalità, anche nel medesimo individuo. Ci sono persone che non accettano nella maniera più assoluta l’idea che tutto possa finire con la morte. Ce ne sono altre, magari molto intelligenti, ma che si reputano talmente superiori rispetto al resto dell’umanità, da non concepire  proprio l’eventualità di finire a fare humus come qualsiasi altro povero mortale. Isaac Newton, formulatore della legge sulla gravitazione universale, era anche un mago e un alchimista. Potrei proseguire anche con altri esempi. Parlando con certuni, proprio ti accorgi che non hanno mai superato il terrore della morte e non accettano l’idea dell’indeterminismo cosmico.

Commento Utente Due: la paura della religione.

Bill Hicks: "La religione ha creato tutto il male nel mondo. Ci sono state guerre sante, omofobia, bigottismo e ovviamente, terrorismo. La religione ha creato la paura, la paura ha creato l'odio, e l'odio ha creato il terrore. Ciò che ci serve è una nuova religione chiamata intelligenza."

Purtroppo, la gran quantità di dati di cui tengo conto e la complessità dei pensieri che ne derivano non mi fa acconsentire all'una né all'altra delle asserzioni. Non sono semplice e non chiudo gli occhi davanti a ciò che complica ancora di più la questione. Mi piace collezionare e catalogare opinioni della gente su temi per me importanti, ma non riesco a farne mia nessuna.

Non si è saputo fin dall'inizio che l'astronomia fosse razionale e l'astrologia no: entrambe guardavano alle stelle. Fu chiamato folle chi ipotizzava organismi piccolissimi, non visibili all'occhio umano, che erano responsabili di malattie. Devo continuare? Non esiste una dea ragione che conduca inequivocabilmente al vero. Esiste il bisogno di conoscenza, e l'intuizione che apre la strada alla sperimentazione.

Noi siamo abituati a guardare il tempo che scorre in una sola direzione, e a riconoscere come causa ciò che vediamo essere prima di un effetto. Ma il tempo obiettivamente non esiste, per cui una causa può in realtà essere l'effetto e viceversa. Quindi, la religione non è causa di tutti i mali del mondo, ma sicuramente è in relazione con essi. Ha codificato regole antagoniste alle zone oscure dell'inconscio, ha tentato di riordinare e illuminare grovigli arcaici che incutevano timore. Quindi, i mali ci sarebbero comunque. E la dittatura di poche menti autoinvestite di intelligenza sarebbe una religione altrettanto pericolosa, soltanto più arida.
