Sci-Fi Horror Films for the Spooky Season

The Blob (1958)

Steve and Jane are two teenagers who encounter a creature from space that begins attacking and eating people from their town. Best scene: In the doctor's office where he's looking in a mirror and sees something moving under a sheet. Still freaks me out to this day. 100% recommend!

The Thing (1982)

It's a classic for a reason. A group of men are trapped in an Antarctic research base with a shape-shifting alien. The practical effects and atmospheric paranoia make this one of my favorite movies. Best scene: The blood testing scene.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

What the title says. There's a 50s version of this film which is good too, but the 70s one leans farther into the horror aspects of its premise. Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy, what more could you ask for? Definitely one that'll be keeping you up at night. Best scene: The mud bath house.

Alien (1979)

Just watch it, seriously. I don't need to explain this one, just trust me. Starts out slow, but is worth it. A must-see. End then once you finish it watch Aliens (1986). Best scene: Entire third act.

Nope (2022)

A brother and sister investigate the strange happening on their horse farm. This movie blew me away and made me obsessed with Jordan Peele. Best scene: Too many to list. Watch it.

Annihilation (2018)

A group of women enter a zone that has been cut off from the world, and inside the zone DNA does some weird things. The tension is crazy high in this movie and it really makes you think while you watch, trying to understand and put pieces together. Best scene: The one in the gif, I mean come on.

The Fly (1986)

Body horror to the max when a scientist tests out his teleportation device and things go horribly awry. Not for those with a weak stomach, this film is straight up disgusting, but in the best way. Best scene: can't say without big spoilers.

The Blob (1988)

That's right, another blob movie on here! You'll never guess the plot. Practical effects, creative deaths, and a distinct 80s feel that you just can't replicate. Best scene: at the hospital.

Event Horizon (1997)

A space crew goes to investigate when a long-missing ship, the Event Horizon, shows back up after being missing for seven years. This movie did not do well upon its initial release, but found a cult following later and I'm a part of that cult, babyyy. Join us! Best scene: not really a scene, but any part where we see the recordings from the ship or they're mention because it freaks me out.

Attack the Block (2011)

Neighbors must team up when killer aliens start to invade their building. This is just a really fun movie with immaculate vibes. John Boyega stars in this and he does such a great job as an unlikely hero. Best scene: When Moses makes a run for it.

The Faculty (1998)

A school's staff are taken over by aliens intent on turning everyone in the school into one of them; a group of students fight back. This is one of my favorite comfort movies because the characters are great and the premise is tried but true. If you're having a movie night with friends or want to cuddle up with something spooky, this is your movie. Best scene: can't pick one tbh, it's all so good.

Re-Animator (1985)

Imagine Victor Frankenstein but even shittier at his job? You'll have Herbert West. Goofy B-horror from the 80s is sometimes the height of the genre. Jeffrey Combs is in this movie which is reason enough on its own to watch. Best scene: The first reanimation scene in the morgue.

Helen LaFrance (November 2, 1919 – November 20, 2020) was a self-taught artist born in Graves County, Kentucky, the second of four daughters to James Franklin Orr and Lillie May Ligon Orr. Known for her captures of the disappearing lifestyle of the rural South. She has been referred to as “the Black Grandma Moses.” She painted powerful and intensely spiritual visionary interpretations of the Bible, in a style that differed radically from her memory paintings.

She attended formal school for about three years but left to work on the farm. Her first painting depicting a large gray rabbit was created on the back of a leftover piece of wallpaper using watercolors given to her by her aunt. She left home to take various jobs in a hospital, caring for children, cooking, working in the tobacco barns and a ceramic factory where she decorated brand-name whiskey bottles. She made enough money to buy art supplies at the grocery store and began painting full-time.

She was an exceptional quilt maker and wood carver of animal sculptures and articulated dolls with handmade textile clothing. She shared the traditions of family and church and the values she grew up with, and recollections of coon hunts, fishing, planting and picking cotton and tobacco, growing flowers and using their petals for paint, the general merchandise store, barn dances, the circus, fish fries, family reunions, and church picnics where the community gathered together.

She created 28 religious paintings, inspired by the verses she read in a dramatic visionary style and divergent from her better-known works due to their explosive colors, themes, and size. A selection of these paintings was included in “Helen LaFrance: Kentucky Woman,” an exhibition that ran at the prestigious Speed Art Museum. The inaugural exhibit of these allegorical paintings took place at Vanderbilt University. Sponsored by the Divinity School’s Religion in the Arts & Contemporary Culture program, these images had never been displayed to the public. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

So I like playing Sims 4 Decades/Legacy challenges, where basically you start in 1890 and try to get to modern day. There's a bunch of rules, but I enjoy making it as hard as possible.

My last attempt ended tragically, and I wanna share it with y'all.

It started off promisingly: the two founders arrived as winter rolled in, and though the first winter was brutal with only a tent and some seeds, they managed to scrounge up enough money and food to make it through. The two original Brisbys had a son (Moses) and several daughters (who went off and got married). Moses successfully married a woman named Helen and he and his wife had already given birth to their first child, a daughter named Iris. Helen was pregnant with their second child.

With the onset of winter I did a death roll for everyone to simulate winter illnesses. It didn't go well, and that was the start of the end.

Who was living on the farm as this dark winter closed in:

Grandpa Brisby

Grandma Brisby

Moses Brisby (eldest son)

Helen Brisby (Moses' wife, pregnant)

Iris Brisby (Moses and Helen's eldest child)

As winter took hold, Grandmother Brisby and her son, Moses Birsby both died of illness (aka they failed their death rolls).

In midwinter, Helen gave birth - a son (Fletcher), an heir for the Brisby family. Helen survived the birth.

Grandfather Brisby died naturally of old age as winter came to a close.

As spring arrived, Helen was alone with a newborn and a toddler, several chickens, a cat, and a cow, all depending on her. She was struggling. She was constantly tired and filthy, her enjoyment of life was at zero, the animals were doing poorly, and she needed help. So, she managed to find herself a new husband. Darrin Quentin stepped up to the role of father and everyone was doing very well. As spring rolled into summer Iris aged up into a child, Fletcher aged into a toddler and began to eat solid food, and Helen became pregnant with Darrin's child.

(I play that women who are breastfeeding can't get pregnant. IRL this is not a perfect form of birth control but it does work fairly well).

Now, one thing I've taken from the harder rules is that if I notice the Sims exhibiting symptoms of illness (dizzy head, etc), I do a death roll.

Helen went out to the bee hive - it had been neglected over the winter. She'd never cared for the bees, but there were mites and plenty of honey to collect, so it needed tending. She wore the beekeeper suit just in case. However, as she was walking away from the beehive, she got dizzy... and I had to roll. She failed the roll, and she died while carrying Darrin's child. I imagine this story-wise as she died from an allergic reaction to a bee that stung her as she was taking off the bee suit.

Now Darrin was alone on the farm, and he was actually managing fairly well because Iris was now a child and could help with most of the farm chores, leaving him to do his best in his grief to raise Fletcher... Until Darrin got sick, too. And with a bad roll, he died as well - perhaps from grief. And the game ended because there were no more adults on the lot.

Fun observation: I use MCCC (MC Command Center) to do deaths, because getting a cow plant is a pain in the ass. I was able to see something interesting when I clicked on Helen to set her her to die. The Sims 4 sets pregnant sims to "immortal" while they're pregnant. I gather this means things like fire, repeated lightning strikes, hunger, etc, cannot kill them while they're pregnant. MCCC can still kill them, obviously, it was just a fascinating observation.

Leviticus 25:1-7 NRSVA

"The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying: Speak to the people of Israel and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land shall observe a sabbath for the LORD. For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in their yield; but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of complete rest for the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. You shall not reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your unpruned vine: it shall be a year of complete rest for the land. You may eat what the land yields during its sabbath - you, your male and female slaves, your hired and your bound labourers who live with you; for your livestock also, and for the wild animals in your land all its yield shall be for food."

Study questions:

(1) How would this law benefit the land?

(2) Is the land being personified?

(3) How would this law benefit farming communities and their workers?

(4) What might the people/workers have been doing during the year off?

(5) How would this law benefit the animals?

(6) What does this law say about forced labor?

Sent Brooklyn, Mystel and Moses to a cafe thinking they deserved a nice break and maybe they can talk about some normal things and then Moses whipped out a copy of Animal Farm... alright then, let's go with it.

[gaykarstaagforever]

The novel Watership Down has been on my pile of things I need to read for awhile now. But Tumblr and video games exist so I'm not sure when I'll get to it.

Instead I watched the 1978 English animated adaptation. Which is good, aside from the fact that it is trying to jam a 500 page fantasy novel into an hour and a half: the pace is brisk to say the least, and a few times I had to pause it and try to remember why in particular rabbits are getting killed in this scene.

...And trigger warning, rabbits do get killed a LOT in this movie. If they had titled it Watch Rabbits Get Killed for 90 Minutes, people would watch it and get upset that you didn't warn them about all the rabbit-killing. This is like Saving Private Ryan with rabbits.

Is that a bad thing? I don't think so. This is a universe where anthropomorphized rabbits live like actual rabbits: everything eats them, and their one defense is running away. Rabbits being killed is like 50% of what rabbits do. It would be disingenuous to leave that out.

Now what's odd to me is that the author of the novel based it on stories he used to tell his young daughters. ...You told your kids tales of a brutal rabbit civil war, in which the rabbits cry out to their god for help, and he turns his back on them? That's...I mean, Cinderella is good, too, dude.

I thought initially all this rabbit brutality was an allegory for something. And it may be, up to the point when the rabbits brave terrors to settle on the titular Watership Down. But that's only the first half of the movie. Then it turns into a thing where our heroes and their deranged seagull friend must battle Rabbit Stalin for access to sweet rabbit p*ssy. And suddenly I'm not sure what we're doing.

Maybe nothing. It doesn't have to be Animal Farm to justify itself. It may just be a fun story about Fantasy Rabbit Moses and Joshua leading the Rabbit Jews to a sexy new Promised Land. Which is...something. But you're allowed. It's entertaining, at any rate.

And rabbits making more rabbits is the other 50% of what rabbits do, so again, you sort of have to put it in. It would be jarring if your Rabbit The Hobbit didn't have a subplot about them all getting laid.

The animation is good but a little rough-hewn, like 90s television animation (think like Animaniacs or Ducktales). Or maybe if you gave the people who did the old Danger Mouse cartoon a really big budget. Fitting for a UK production. People compare it to "anime," but people compare everything that isn't The Lion King to what they vaguely remember Akira being, which doesn't help anyone understand anything. It isn't like the Rankin Bass stuff where it is a Western production animated by a Japanese studio - this was UK animators. I'm being pedantic because every adult animation with graphic violence isn't fucking "omg like anime." Anime is 8 trillion different things. There is more than Disney and "anime." Expand your reference palate.

It's on MAX, and is certainly worth seeing. It really isn't like anything else. Maybe a little like Secret of Nimh? The book, not the movie. I actually read that book but DIDN'T see the movie, in this case. But the animals in that are sentient for sci-fi reasons and that is the core of that story. Watership Down has more in common with White Fang or Fox and the Hound, or Bambi. It obviously inspired all of that Redwall stuff, which are other books I was supposed to read at some point but haven't.

The UK certainly likes their cute furry animals going through a Game of Thrones. Since I am like 99% those people, I don't know if I want to know what that implies.

Also special shout-out to the LYING BASTARDS who gave the DVD this cover:

These are like the two scenes in the entire movie where a rabbit isn't getting mauled to death, probably by another rabbit.

Here is the original movie poster:

He looks like he's escaping a concentration camp at dawn. That...isn't far off, actually.

Did a short story with some original characters from a cowboy town rp server! Reuben and Montego belong to me, and the rest of named or cameo-ing characters belong to other server members and are credited under the cut :-)

Word count: 3,046

Summary: “Montego never actually sees the property before it’s bought. Reuben asks him to come with, when he gets the confirmation in the mail, says they could make it something together. But Montego has that sad little tilt in his eyes that tells them he could never say yes to that. So Reuban goes alone.”

Bios for my guys under cut, content includes unbound chest and facial scarring, and talks of animal-caused facial injury. I hope ya enjoy!

Reuben “Bullseye” Lowery (trans, nonbinary, they/it/he)

Growing up around ranch and farm work, Reuben was kicked by a horse on a job when they were 25, an injury that caused severe damage to their jaw and left ear. They developed hearing issues and pain that made being in populated spaces difficult, struggling with overstimulation, balance, and tinnitus. As a result, it moved up to a house on the outskirts of a town called Silent Run to live its best autDHD life in relative quiet, tending to a small garden, a few cows and chickens, and a farm cat. Being somewhat of a mystery to the townsfolk, many stories and tall tales have popped up around Reuben, developing him into a sort of local cryptid. They’re just vibing though, baking, crafting, and occasionally being visited by their traveling musician lover.

Montego Maldonado/Dantae Angel (trans man, he/him)

Reuben’s traveling musician partner, Montego is only an occasional visitor to Silent Run. His mother moved up to the states from Argentina during the period of the civil wars, and Montego grew up on a ranch with a stepfather he hated. He eventually ran away and transitioned as he took up a generally successful music career under the name Dantae Angel. He met Reuben before their accident, where the two of them formed a close bond and eventually privately connected on their transness. Montego was the one who took care of Reuben in the aftermath of their injury, helping it to recover. He’s not ready to settle down and likely never will be, but cares deeply for Reuben and visits a few times a year, sending letters and gifts otherwise. Montego is thoughtful, headstrong, and feels things deeply and fully. He likes anatomy, and paints animal bones between practicing on his guitar.

(Montego is an AU version of one of my main OCs Moses, who’s canon info can be found here. However he’s a very different man in this timeline, having been able to experience a much more enjoyable life and find happiness. General pictures below, though he does not have the same lip scar or way of dress as Montego.)

-excerpt from The Exsultet: The Proclamation of Easter

"farming us for sins" is certainly an... interesting take, and definitely a heretical one. however, there is a good deal of merit to the concept that original sin was, in fact, intentionally given to humanity. without original sin, there would have been no reason for God to become one of us, to die for our sins. without original sin, there would be no Sacraments, no Scripture. Humanity would look upon the divine from a distance, always seeing but never knowing or sharing in His Glory.

In effect, God gave humanity exactly what it wanted when Adam ate the fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam's descendants learned the difference, and the reasons thereof, with the law of moses, and later with the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. And as for humans becoming like God? while that in a literal sense is forever beyond us, through baptism we have become children of God, and through the Incarnation God has become like us, or rather God has become one of us, for Jesus is both True God and true man.

would any of this have happened without the Fall? would mankind even be able to go to heaven, actual heaven, if Christ had not died for our sins? I think the answer is no. we would have stayed in the Garden of Eden forever, a state to which I do not believe that God would have seen us condemned. we would not have grown as a species, but remained ever a child, never leaving our cradle. but now look at us! for all our faults, being in God's presence, and understanding what it MEANS to be in God's presence, is no longer beyond us! He is there, in the tabernacle, and He will be there in Heaven waiting for us!

we have also learned to appreciate God's creation through the sciences; the depths of the ocean, the heights of the seemingly infinite heavens, are ours to explore, for that is why He made them. would we have explored them from within the confines of the Garden? would we have developed the critical thinking skills, derived from trial and error, and from desperation for survival? NO! but now we can create, and explore, like no animal on the planet can!

As with many of Satan's plans, his goal to send mankind to hell was ultimately a part of God's plan; the trickster was tricked by the Intelligence of his Creator. Just as he was on the day of Our Lord's death, and on the morning of His resurrection, when in his eagerness to inflict suffering upon God, satan gave God exactly the opportunity He was looking for!

Oh truly necessary sin of Adam, destroyed completely by the death of Christ! Oh happy fault, that earned so great, so glorious a redeemer!

Imagine a bee rn in a hive muttering "the beekeeper is not real because he is not intervening or helping me at all with this disastrous relationship I have with another bee". now imagine that's you talking about the good lord. now imagine a dog with a propeller hat on

What is Hexerei?

♦️⭐🔷 There's a lot of incorrect rumors, superstition, and all around unnecessary fear-mongering concerning Hexerei, a Pennsylvania Dutch and Germanic form of witchcraft. I myself, and my family are Pennsylvania Dutch. We grew up with the culture, the community, the beliefs, the spirits, and the magic. There is a lot of superstition both inside and outside of the PA Dutch community about witches and their practices.

For many years, rumors swirled around about witches sickening animals, ritually sacrificing animals, witches hurling deadly curses at everyone in their path, and other ridiculous notions. Bad things happened in these earlier times, especially before the age of technology, medicine, and scientific advancements. Rather than trying to understand it, and lacking adequate information, people of course looked for a scapegoat to blame. Almost everything was assumed to be witchcraft rather than unfortunate events and lack of available knowledge and technology to help. Scapegoats were usually older, single or widowed women and sometimes men who were more introverted and kept to themselves.

The men and women who practiced Hexerei were generally quiet about their practices years ago. They carried with them the powerful, older Heideglaawe (heathen beliefs) and spiritual beliefs when they immigrated to Pennsylvania and other areas of the United States. They were referred to as heathens. Most didn't target animals for harm. Most didn't curse people unless they needed to and had no other options. They were simply families of remaining pagans and non-religious spiritualists who kept their beliefs a secret to reduce the risk of community mobbing and retaliation. Hexerei Practitioners ranged from White Arts, to Grey arts, to Dark Arts, and rarely, Black arts, though it was wrongly assumed that Hexerei is a strictly Black arts type of Magic. This was due to others occasionally finding the sixth and seventh books of Moses in deceased relatives' belongings (The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses have NOTHING to do with true Hexerei! This is another common misconception, this is different type of magic)

♦️⭐🔷 WHAT IS HEXEREI? ♦️⭐🔷

♦️⭐🔷 Pennsylvania Dutch Hexerei is a form of old, powerful rural witchcraft that encompasses working with both light and dark magic, utilizing your own energy, as well as natural energy sources. Hexes (German and Pennsylvania Dutch witches) work with nature, weather, planets, sun, moon, stars, herbs, roots, stones, oils, powders, magic staffs, trees, written words, spoken words, painted symbols, hex signs, barn stars, wooden effigies, metals, hex bags, coins, and farm tools. Dream and astral work, a practice to be mastered known as Draamerei (Dreamcraft, or continued practice of dreaming and astral projecting), is important to them. Hexes frequently work with various spirits, such as elemental spirits, house spirits, and field spirits, with tree spirits often coming forward as helpful guides. Star People were occasionally mentioned in old stories and beliefs, sometimes being tied to certain, rare hex signs featuring specific stars, colors, and patterns, and were thought to bring messages. Hexes have their own belief system (Hexeglaawe) and unique practices. Hexes believe in taking care of and working with nature, plants, trees, spirits, and animals, treating them with respect. Independence, awareness, effort, cunning, strength of character are encouraged. This is mainly due to living in isolation on vast areas of farm land near remote wilderness, they're in tune with nature. Historically, magic, spirits, and entities were all around Pennsylvania and Germany. We had written words and letters that were rich in magical knowledge and wisdom, we had interesting supernatural stories and legends, and we were surrounded by many, many different types of spirits everywhere, as they were part of daily life!♦️⭐🔷

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRAUCHEREI PRACTITIONERS, HEXENMEISTERS, AND HEXEREI PRACTITIONERS?

Braucherei practitioners were Christians who practiced a type of Christian witchcraft utilizing verses from the Bible, as well as their own spells, usually for spiritual aura healing and cleansing. They were White magic practitioners who genuinely tried to help people and the community.

Hexenmeisters were Christians who practiced Christian witchcraft utilizing verses from the Bible, as well as their own spells and methods. Some were White magic practitioners, though they were generally Grey magic practitioners, and sometimes even Dark Magic practitioners. They utilized dark magic to fight against those who've they suspected of sending bad luck, illnesses, droughts, curses, etc. The State of Pennsylvania once used to issue Hexenmeister licences decades ago to those who practiced and wanted a more formal certificate to verify their abilities. Many genuinely helped people with a variety of issues, though there were some Hexenmeisters who had used their magic to commit spiritual wrongdoing.

Heide: The Heide is a Pennsylvania Dutch and German term for Heathens, also known as pagans. Heideglaawe translates to Heathen beliefs. There were many Heathens who practiced their religion in Pennsylvania, and some areas were even named after them as they were known to gather in these sacred places.

Hexerei Practitioners: Germanic Pagans and non-religious spiritualists who practiced a unique form of witchcraft utilizing old Germanic Pagan charms and spells from old spiritual writings and spoken traditions, as well as other nature-based spells and traditions they've created. Hexes (Germanic and Pennsylvania Dutch Witches) ranged from White magic and Grey magic practitioners (most common), to Dark magic, and on occasion, Black magic practitioners. Dark and Black magic were used to obtain spiritual justice and spiritual vengeance when other options didn't work or simply weren't available. Many Hexes were genuinely interested in helping people, as well as honoring spirits, animals, and the land. They were often the target for misunderstanding since pagan religions were especially vilified during this time, often due to lack of information.

Supernatural beliefs were common and well-accepted, especially in Pennsylvania, until stories of "witch hysteria" spread throughout the country's newspapers, which attached a negative stigma to Brauchers, Hexenmeisters, Heathens, and Hexerei Practitioners. Because of this, many beliefs and practices were kept top secret for fear of career ruin, harassment, threats, and social ostracization. Hexenmeister licenses were revoked, beliefs were mocked, and there were many attempts by the government at the time to eliminate occult practices altogether. Some family traditions and beliefs were lost, and the use of Pennsylvania Dutch language dwindled, as grandparents and parents decided against teaching children and apprentices for worry of systemic retaliation. Today, many of our beliefs, traditions, culture, writings are being rediscovered by those same descendants, as new interest and curiosity in those same practices emerges once again.

Be sure to follow our blog and our shops. We currently don't teach Hexerei or any other magic due to our schedule, however, if you have interest in Pennsylvania Dutch and German traditions, beliefs, and information, you may read our product listings and our blog. We have many products that relate to Pennsylvania Dutch and Germanic Hexerei. Our listings are informative and many include historical information. We don't pressure anyone to purchase anything that they don't want or need. Thank you for reading, and many blessings! ♦️⭐🔷

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 22nd March 2024

3/22 Numbers 14:8-9

8 If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them."

Moses sent a spy from each of the 12 tribes to investigate the Promised Land. They came back saying it was a land of milk and honey, which means a land of pastures for animals and fields for farming. It had terraced fields already in place. But ten of the spies said they should give up any hope of conquering it because of the giant people that lived there and the walled cities. Immediately the people gave up the hope of God fulfilling His promises to Abraham. They talked of choosing a leader to go back to Egypt.

Two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, spoke our passage for today. They were men of faith. They were the kind of men that could see the hand of God and applied what they knew of God in the past to their present circumstance. They spoke of God's ability and warned against rebelling against God. After all, they had seen what happened to Pharaoh's army when he rebelled against the Lord. They had witnessed God's wrath on their own people that rebelled.

These two men presented the people with two options: obediently go forward in faith and continue under the blessing of God to receive the Promised Land, or rebel and face His wrath. Fear of the Canaanites and stubbornness of heart motivated the people to attempt to stone Joshua and Caleb. God appeared in the cloud and stopped them from doing so, and announced His sentence on their rebellion. The older generation would die in the wilderness, and the young generation would go in later.

Consider: We are often presented with the same choice. God has good things planned for us if we will believe Him and not fear. But if we rebel, we will face the consequences of our rebellion. Consider what God has done in the past, where He is presently leading, and go forward with faith in His presence with us.

Verses & Alternative Universes

Different scenarios and worlds!

Main Verse (One Piece) -

Takes place in the world of One Piece, but the actual canon has been smashed to bits and pieces by me!

Cross Guild (Buggy, Mihawk, and Crocodile) along with Doflamingo wind up on an isolated island after their ships were destroyed, but (un)luckily for them, the Moses Siblings are there to greet the men.

Modern Verse -

Takes place in the modern-day, but devil fruits and other fantastical elements have been removed for a more realistic approach.

The Moses Siblings find themselves pursued by criminals and ex-rivals after the imprisonment of their crime-lord parents, and must navigate life without their previous wealth and protection. However, the trio that runs Cross Guild, a business that acts as a front for a crime syndicate, offers the family their assistance...

Farm Verse -

Takes place in the world of One Piece, but yet again, canon has been destroyed by me so I can satiate my taste for animal/human hybrids!

Before the Warlord system was abolished, the World Government had allowed Vegapunk to perform a years-long experiment on the warlords that once reigned, which was only meant to see if it were possible to give others the power of a zoan-user without needing to eat a fruit. It was only a partial success...but the men of Cross Guild and Doflamingo beg to differ, considering they inherited traits of common farm animals...

(Yes, this was an excuse to write extensively about cow-Wani.)

LIGHT OF LIFE 452

John 1:4

HAPPY NEW YEAR BELOVED!

DIVINE ORDER 17: FROM BEGINNING OF CREATION 16

Exo 40:4 And THOU SHALT BRING IN THE TABLE, AND SET IN ORDER THE THINGS THAT ARE TO BE SET IN ORDER UPON IT; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. KJV

PRESERVED FOR FUTURE

Only with the Creation of the Sun (2nd Creation) in Gen 1:4 did the Bible indicate that God separated Light from the Dark [after] He had seen that it was GOOD.

Do you perceive why?

Gen 1:4 God SAW the light was good. So God SEPARATED the light from the darkness. GW

We have discussed this before but there is something else I need you to understand here.

God had not finished with the Light; He was still going to work on it in future (Day 4) and so, it had to be kept intact and incorruptible.

Gen 1:14-15 God said, "I command lights to appear in the sky and to separate day from night and to show the time for seasons, special days, and years. I command them to shine on the earth." And that's what happened. CEV

Beloved, when you know there are things you will depend upon in the future, you preserve them well, don’t you?

You want to ensure that the best is saved for the future, and indeed, it is the best products that last longest, isn’t it so?

Pro 31:4-6 It is NOT FOR KINGS, O Lemuel, IT IS NOT FOR KINGS TO DRINK WINE, OR FOR RULERS TO CRAVE STRONG DRINK, LEST THEY DRINK AND FORGET WHAT IS DECREED, and remove from all the poor their legal rights. GIVE STRONG DRINK TO THE ONE WHO IS PERISHING, and wine to those who are bitterly distressed; NET

Alcohol affects human brains and nervous system with imposing degeneracy.

So if a Man has any prospect for his future, he shouldn’t drink at all.

The Soul that will have Eternally Valued Products and be honourably acknowledged, will stay away from alcohol.

Num 6:2-3 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When a man or a woman shall vow a vow, a vow of a Nazarite, to be separated to Jehovah, HE SHALL SEPARATE FROM WINE AND STRONG DRINK AND SHALL DRINK NO VINEGAR OF WINE, OR VINEGAR OF STRONG DRINK; neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes or dried. MKJV

During Harvest, a Farmer gathers both for Consumers and for SOWING next season.

He ensures that the very best are kept aside to be replanted the next farm session.

The same concept is applied in Animal Husbandry: the best steer or Bull is the one preserved for mating with the cows, to produce the strongest cattle possible for the next generation.

Gen 30:40-41 THESE LAMBS JACOB KEPT SEPARATE; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock. And whenever the STRONGER ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks. BBE

Jacob was about to travel back to his father’s house, and so it made sense that he ensured that the cattle or herd he produced were of the strongest breed, else they die on the way.

Gen 33:13 Jacob answered, "You know that the children are weak, and I must THINK of the sheep and livestock with their YOUNG. IF THEY ARE DRIVEN HARD FOR EVEN ONE DAY, THE WHOLE HERD WILL DIE. GNB

Any product - especially the first - in the course of any man’s life, of any profession, must be with the concept of preparing to make the Future better and stronger by setting the best apart for that future.

Exo 2:2 And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she SAW that he was a BEAUTIFUL CHILD, she kept him SECRETLY for three months. BBE

That was Moses’ mother, preserving the young boy’s life from the clutches of demonic Pharaoh, as though she knew that Moses will be instrument of Salvation for Israel later.

Rom 11:26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The DELIVERER will come out of Zion; he will remove ungodliness from Jacob. NET

So, beloved, if you really want to remain Productive and be fulfilled in Destiny, put these on your “ORDER OF EXECUTION” List.

Your [1st] set of Products must be with Concepts, and be Preserved for the SUSTENANCE of FUTURE Products.

You will not die except as a Great Achiever, IN JESUS NAME.

Come back on Wednesday, as we proceed in digging into this inspiring Subtopic.

Keep Shinning!
