Step one

I love baking. I bake whenever I can.

One of the things that baking teaches you? The order that you do things in matters.

If you think it doesn’t, try changing the order you do things in with a recipe. You’ll end up with something different.

It may only be a little off (if you’re lucky). Or it may be an inedible mess.

However it turns out, it won’t be what you were hoping for. What the recipe was designed to produce.

This idea – that the order that you do things in matters – holds true in just about every area of life.

It’s especially true in what Jesus is talking about in today’s Gospel. The order that we do things, when it comes to our relationships with others. And even our relationship with ourselves.

If we want any of those relationships to be healthy. If we want any of them to reach their fullest potential. If we want to reach our own fullest potential.

To be what we were hoping for. To be who God made us to be.

Then there’s something that has to happen first. As Jesus tells us,

“First is this: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, 

with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

Second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Why this order?

Because the only way to have the grace, the wisdom, the strength, the patience, the love needed to have healthy relationships with others? And with ourselves?

Is if we are first grounded in our relationship with God. Who is the ultimate source – and indeed the only source – of all of those good things.

There is simply no other place to get them.

Only then, only when we first love God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all our strength.

Only then will we have the grace, the wisdom, the strength, the patience to truly love our neighbor. Or ourselves.

would you fuck colonel sanders?

Only so that I may seduce him away Fujiko Mine style and get him to leave me everything as I slowly suffocate him in his sleep. Then his chicken money will be mine! To apparently cash fund my world domination

as a floridian, lucien vangator is the only thing that can bring me solace in this hurricane season

As a Floridian, I want you to know I will be doing things that make you say, "this person clearly has never been anywhere near a swamp- this is questionable at best"

Trying to make my own animated movie

Step one: character work

I drew the same protagonist in different clothes, stances, and expressions to figure out what kind of characteristics I wanted to portray. His name is Cameron “Cam.” No last name yet.
