#artie abrahams

[artificialchaoscola]

My Sonic OC : D I'm still working out what I want her to be exactly but this is what I have so far! Will probably add to/change things later!

Name: Arti

Pronouns: She/Her

Species: Mobian - Tiger Shark

Height: 121.9 cm - 4 ft

Occupation: G.U.N. Agent - Search and Rescue (Water Division)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral/Neutral

Affiliations: G.U.N. Commander Abraham Tower, Team Dark

Personality: Reserved but (subtly) smug, Arti tends to speak with an air of quiet confidence that makes it hard to tell if she’s joking or completely serious. She doesn’t go out of her way to explain herself, and when she does speak, it’s often with dry, offbeat remarks that leave people either amused or confused. She’s not unfriendly, just... a little out there, like she’s operating on a wavelength others don’t quite grasp. She might not always engage in conversation, but when she does, there’s often a knowing glint in her eye, like she’s two steps ahead of everyone else and enjoying the fact that they haven’t caught up yet.

Despite her social quirks, she’s incredibly task-driven and doesn’t tolerate distractions when there’s work to be done. She moves with purpose, efficient and methodical, but there’s an almost unsettling ease to the way she handles high-pressure situations... Such is how aquatic Mobians live beneath the sea, where danger lurks in every inch of its depths...

Motivations: She enjoys the discipline and structure of her work. Chaos is inevitable in rescue situations, but she thrives in it because she’s the one bringing order. There’s satisfaction in executing a plan flawlessly and knowing she was the deciding factor in a life-or-death moment. She doesn’t think of herself as a hero, but she still does her job well because she enjoys the work itself. There’s no need for gratitude or recognition. Once the mission is over, she moves on without looking back.

Likes: blood, surface-Mobian jewelry (particularly gold)

Dislikes: the smell of oil, heat

Favorite/Least Favorite Food: salmon and squid/vegetables

Fears: lava, deserts, Metal Sonic.

Powers: Scent - Arti can smell blood up to a quarter of a mile beneath the water with supreme accuracy, making her the ideal candidate for Search and Rescue. (Note... Arti has no unique powers ; she can do what every other Tiger Shark is capable of.) On land, while she can still smell traces of blood a fair distance away, the location of it is difficult for her to track.

Abilities:

Swimming: Plenty of aquatic Mobians are excellent swimmers who keep moving beneath the water for miles and miles without losing stamina. Shark Mobians, as predatory animals, have heightened agility, allowing them to swim forward at incredible speeds for short periods. Arti has trained herself to maintain high speeds for above-average durations. At present, she is the fastest G.U.N. Agent in the water.

Jaw: Even the weakest Shark species have an incredible bite force, easily tearing through wood and steel. Arti uses this to break debris, fight Eggman robots, and gain access to otherwise dangerous underwater territory.

Claws: Shark Mobians have incredibly sharp claws made of cartilage to assist with swimming and hunting prey. Arti uses this to fight when needed.

Hand-to-Hand Combat: All G.U.N. Agents are trained in hand-to-hand combat, and she can defend herself well. She is also trained with G.U.N. firearms and weapons, though she dislikes using them.

Weaknesses:

Fighting Style: While Arti has been trained in hand-to-hand combat and self-defense, it is worth noting that Tiger Sharks have an ambush-style way of hunting. In the ocean, one faces creatures with equal or greater capabilities daily, so head-on combat is ill-advised.

Air: Aquatic Mobians, although able to breathe within both air and water, must remain hydrated to remain healthy. Too long without water could be fatal.

Land: Arti is not fast on land - get her out of the water if you want to win. Fight from a distance to avoid her claws and jaws, and success is guaranteed.

Kurt Hummel & Quinn Fabray

Kurt Hummel

OTP: I can't say that I have one. I ship Kurt with a variety of men, and none of them named Blaine, but I don't believe that there's a true standout. Though, I do tend to lean toward Kurt/Dave Karofsky. All of the missed and wasted potential there pains me when I think too hard on it. BroTP: Kurt and Mercedes Jones, how I miss you. Kurt and Finn Hudson and Kurt and Sam Evans also have some sweet moments. OT3: Nothing comes to mind. NoTP: Kurt/Blaine Anderson. I wasn't a fan when the show was airing, am currently not a fan nearly a decade after it's ended, and never will be a fan.

Quinn Fabray

OTP: Quinn/Rachel Berry. Was it consistently written? No. But, the chemistry between Dianna Agron and Lea Michele was off the charts from the moment these characters first interacted onscreen, and I've yet to see a heterosexual explanation that truly justifies Quinn's absolutely heartbroken reaction when Rachel nods a tentative affirmative that she was "singing that song just for Finn and only Finn". BroTP: Quinn and Sam, Quinn and Mercedes (yet another good thing that Ryan Murphy and Co. tossed aside and left to rot), Quinn and Artie Abrahams, and, tentatively and primarily in fanfiction where it's handled well, Quinn and Santana Lopez. OT3: I suppose Sam/Quinn/Rachel, maybe? I know that Santana/Quinn/Rachel is another popular one, but my feelings toward romantic Quinn/Santana are very mixed. NoTP: Quinn/Finn, Quinn/Noah Puckerman, and basically Quinn/Any man the show ever tried to pair her with who isn't Sam. (And, even then, I align completely with the headcanon that Quinn is a repressed lesbian.)

Thank you so very much for asking! ❤ I apologize if any of my answers are lackluster, or not particularly interesting.

[spotsupstuff]

What do you think about the RW ships? just curious is all.

hmmm.. well! first i do wanna preface this with the obligatory "i'm not hating on anybody with this, u do u and i do me is my genuine philosophy. i'll respect u from the distance if you do the same for me"

aight so i'm not gon list every ship in the fandom that has spawned in outta the stardust n give my specific opinion on it, cuz i'm not exactly keepin up

the only two ships i don't mind n find cute on the paper are NSH x Moon and Arti x Gour cuz both of them have that Old People Love Each Other in Easy Peace Despite The Circumstances Surrounding Them kick to them. i'm a weak bitch for that type of troupe for romantic relationships. not gon do anythin with 'em in my own stuff, though

i find myself more interested in the entirely and wholly platonic interpretation of everything in the game. platonic love is a matter of course, makin the story flow feel more smoother to me for that while also stayin nicely close to that religious narrative of the game (u can fight me on this but the Ancients' religion isn't *wrong*. the bad thing that happened with it is that it was taken to extremes and variety wasn't allowed. i could tell you why riddin oneself of the third and fifth sin isn't a bad idea at all- afterall, i kind of live by that myself!- and what they probably meant by riddin yourself of the sins without the extremist approach)

for the other ships... 🤔

well, the iterators are far too rooted in my head as sibs to vibe with ships with them, but more properly told: • Suns and Pebs are too much of "teacher and naive student" to me and i also find this dynamic more interesting to explore. uuuuu how spicy it is to think of Suns brainwashing Pebs but meaning it well uuuuuuuuuu • Suns and NSH are... let's just say that if i was in NSH's place and Suns talked to me like that i'd slap them so fuckin hard n if i WAS in a romantic relationship with them i'd dump them then and there (not in a bitchy ex kind of way, i'd be still down to talk, but i can't imagine bein in a relationship where the other half calls the most likely inevitable death of your closest friend a "setback" to their brainwashing of that friend's little brother would be Very healthy) • n i think what is the only other iterator ship left, Sliver and Moon... i find it kind of silly, honestly? like as far as *i* know the main reason why that exists is cuz Moon remembers what happened with Sliver after being given her own pearl about some notes she wrote herself on Sliver despite being baround three gazillion bagillion braincells short. i don't really see that as a strong incentive to start shippin 'em cuz like. you give Moon a very solid memory jogger and right in her second set of monologue she states that Sliver is literally a legend among the itties-titties. the best i can compare it to a real life thing is asking an american if they have any idea who Abraham Lincoln was at all. or asking a slovak if they knew who Finally managed to solidly establish our language after centuries of oppression. like of Course you're going to know That even on ur deathbed??? those are incredibly important historical figures for you n your home!!! also c'mon she remembers the feckin bug pupae, if THAT stuck in there this big boy info is def gon be kickin around

as for the slugcats... well ehh..... you can probably guess from what i mainly draw that i'm not Too focused on the slugs, only maybe Hunter so my slugshippin lore knowledge is p weak. when i first saw the slugshippin take off before i started postin bout RW again i thought it was silly to ship animals n still kinda do? 🤷‍♀️ doesn't help that canonically they have no business meeting each other except Monk n Surv (that is a strong No to shippin) and Hunter's writhing corpse n Gour (we are Not ducks we do not support necrophilia). i generally like to stick to the timeline, personally. good world-building. i respect good world-building too much to deviate too hard

BUT! i am going to use my status as pre-Downpour RW veteran and tell you to not listen to the whiny wrinkly babies in the tag that wail about how slugshippin is ruining the fandom. fuck 'em bitches, you do what u wanna (within moral common sense)

Martin Luther King Jr. Day | Honouring the American Civil Rights Leader

Today’s featured artwork “Riot” by Russell Young is based on Martin Luther King Jr's speech "The Other America" (1967)

"And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard." - Martin Luther King Jr.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. What does this powerful image say to you?

On August 28, 1963, some 100 years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves, a young man named Martin Luther King climbed the marble steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to describe his vision of America. More than 200,000 people-black and white-came to listen. They came by plane, by car, by bus, by train, and by foot. They came to Washington to demand equal rights for black people. And the dream that they heard on the steps of the Monument became the dream of a generation.

“I still have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the American dream – one day this nation will rise up and live up to its creed, ‘We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal.’” ~ Martin Luther King Jr

Image Source: ABC News

On April 14, 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at Stanford's Memorial Auditorium about racism and civil rights in American society.

Extract from "The Other America", Martin Luther King, Jr., Stanford University, 1967

“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Arty-Fact: Renowned for using powerful images appropriated from history and popular culture, British-American pop artist Russell Young, loves to glamourise “a very aggressive and violent image”.

Russell began to use diamond dust in 2007. He called the paintings Dirty Pretty Things, pressing the crystals into the web pigment of the images of his paintings.

“Riot” is a great example of this technique.

La famiglia di Nostradamus

Per inquadrare nel modo più esatto la personalità del grande veggente è opportuno risalire indietro nel tempo e cominciare a parlare dell’origine della famiglia alla quale egli appartenne. Consultando le antiche cronache provenzali è ormai certo che la famiglia di Nostradamus giunse nel sud della Francia dall’Italia a seguito di una migrazione che spinse un gran numero di ebrei a cercare e trovare rifugio in nuove terre. La posizione degli ebrei in Europa intorno al XIV scolo era chiaramente delineata. Infatti essi non potevano essere né contadini né cavalieri cosicché erano obbligati a diventare commercianti nonché depositari di alcune scienze che oggi definiremmo esatte ma che allora la credenza popolare preferiva definire come scienze che consentivano di penetrare i misteri. Dobbiamo dire che fatta eccezione per i nostri tempi gli ebrei sono sempre stati nomadi dal momento che gli eventi della storia hanno sempre impedito loro di mettere radici stabili in un luogo. Infatti la terra da coltivare e da cui trarre frutti per vivere su cui costruire una dimora stabile da tramandare in eredità ai figli non era alla loro portata. Di conseguenza l’insediamento di piccole comunità ebraiche dedite ai commerci era stato del tutto naturale e poiché gli ebrei svolgevano il loro lavoro bene con il passare delle generazioni avevano finito col coesistere perfettamente con il resto della popolazione. A poco a poco dai piccoli commerci la loro abilità si era indirizzata anche ad altri lavori e avevano finito per detenere l’arte della medicina le arti in genere e l’arte di far pagare soldi ai contribuenti del tempo. Dobbiamo mettere in evidenza che al tempo di Nostradamus l’esercizio della medicina non era preparato da un certo sapore di mistero . In particolare sotto il regno di Renato d’Angiò gli ebrei conobbero tempi felici e non pochi di essi furono realmente devoti a questo sovrano da volersi addirittura convertire al cristianesimo accettando che i loro figli venissero battezzati. A una di queste famiglie convertite si può far risalire l’origine di Nostradamus e tale origine è chiaramente attestata da Cesare figlio del grande veggente il quale scrisse un opera intitolata “Storia e Cronaca “di Provenza nella quale menzionò un certo Pierre de Notre Dame che altri non sarebbe stato se non il bisavolo di Nostradamus. Gli storici e gli studiosi hanno approfondito tale discorso appurando che questo Pierre de Nostredame era chiamato Abraham Salomon prima di convertirsi alla religione cristiana dietro consiglio di Renato d’Angiò. Egli per compensarlo della sua decisione lo nominò nobile mantenendolo nell’invidiabile ruolo di medico di corte ma attraverso alcuni documenti attendibilissimi si sa che un suo nipote Giacomo divenne notaio. Egli ebreo cristiano della III generazione fu il padre di Nostradamus di Pierre de Nostredame non si conosce praticamente altro. Giacomo de Notre Dame sposò Renée di Saint Remy anch’essa discendente da ebrei convertiti ed il padre esercitava per la città d’origine la professione di astrologo e medico. Da questo matrimonio nacquero tre figli: Michele de Notre Dame Il famoso autore delle Centurie; Jean autore di alcune opere sulla poesia provenzale morto senza eredi; Bertrand i cui figli prolungarono il nome di famiglia fino al XVII secolo. La prima biografia su Nostradamus venne scritta da James de cavigny discepolo del grande veggente. L’opera venne dedicata a Enrico IV e comparve come prefazione all’edizione delle Centurie che vide la luce ad Amsterdam nel 1668 . Riassumeremo ora i principali concetti contenuti in tale biografia . In essa sta scritto che la famiglia di Nostradamus era di origine ebraica convertitasi però al cattolicesimo. Nostradamus affermava che aveva ricevuto direttamente la conoscenza delle scienze matematiche dai suoi avi dopo la morte del suo bisavolo materno che quasi per gioco gli aveva instillato il gusto delle scienze celesti il nostro autore venne mandato ad Avignone per studiare lettere e formarsi una cultura umanistica. Di lì Nostradamus passò a Montpellier dove frequentò la famosa università di filosofia e teoria della medicina fino a quando l’occasione offertagli da una pestilenza non gli fornì la possibilità di mettere a frutto quello che aveva appreso studiando medicina. Dopo essere rimasto nelle zone colpite dalla pestilenza per quattro anni praticando la medicina gli sembrò opportuno far ritorno a Montpellier per laurearsi dottore. Egli riuscì nel suo intento in poco tempo conquistando anche l’ammirazione dei suoi colleghi. Passando per Tolosa giunse ad Agen dove Giulio Cesare Scaligero lo trattenne presso di sé. Egli era un personaggio di notevole erudizione e mecenatismo e con lui Nostradamus entrò in grande confidenza. Tuttavia qualche tempo dopo nacquero tra i due contrasti e diffidenze di notevole entità. Nostradamus in quel periodo sposò una onorabile fanciulla dalla quale ebbe due figli, ma sia la moglie sia i figli morirono presto e pertanto vedendosi solo Nostradamus decise di ritirarsi in Provenza. Alla fine si stabilì a Salon et la Crau dove si maritò in seconde nozze e dove dette inizio alla stesura delle Centurie prevedendo le mutazioni e i cambiamenti che avrebbero sconvolto l’Europa tutta intera. Il nostro autore per lungo tempo custodì le sue profezie senza volerle pubblicare. Tale decisione fu dovuta alla natura insolita dell’argomento delle profezie che non avrebbero mancato di suscitare contro di lui calunnie invidie e attacchi quanto mai violenti come in realtà avvenne. Alla fine il nostro autore desiderando che la gente ottenesse attacchi da tali profezie le fece conoscere a tutti. Di conseguenza Nostradamus divenne famoso non solo in Francia ma anche nelle nazioni straniere. Anche il re di Francia Enrico II ammirò molto Nostradamus tanto che lo invitò a recarsi a corte nel 1556 e avendo ricevuto dal veggente importanti profezie lo rimandò a casa con molti doni. Qualche anno dopo il re di Francia Carlo IX si recò a Salom dove incontrò il profeta che venne da lui nominato suo medico di corte e consigliere. Oramai Nostradamus era diventato molto famoso tanto che da tutta la Francia venivano persone per chiedergli profezie. Al tempo del suo incontro con Carlo IX Nostradamus aveva superato i 60 anni ed era molto invecchiato ed indebolito dalle malattie che da tempo lo affliggevano in particolare un artrite e una gotta che gli creavano molti problemi. Nostradamus il 2 luglio del 1566 morì prima del sorgere del sole. Nostradamus conosceva bene il giorno della sua morte tanto che poco prima di essa scrisse di suo pugno una frase in latino che faceva riferimento al suo trapasso. Concludiamo il nostro discorso mettendo in evidenza che sul suo sepolcro furono scolpite le parole di un epitaffio composto a imitazione di quello del grande storiografo latino Tito Livio. Tale epitaffio venne scritto in latino lingua molto amata da Nostradamus. Prof. Giovanni Pellegrino Read the full article

Tindakan Afeksi dalam Melayani : Ibrani 5:1-10

Apakah semua orang tahu tentang kebaikan? Mungkin, tapi apakah sebagian besar setuju, kemungkinan besar begitu. lantas, apakah semua orang melakukannya? belum tentu, terlalu banyak induksi dalam premis tentang kasih, kebaikan, keadilan, kebenaran dan apalagi melayani.

Dalam keberadaan Nya, Allah dalam ontologinya dikenal Maha Kasih, dalam terminologi Ibrani, Dia adalah yang membarui pemahaman dan asal muasal kebenaran. Dalam Yesus, hipotesa ini terbukti.

Yesus membuat metafisik Allah menjadi mampu direngkuh manusia. Dan penulis Ibrani memastikan, tindakan afeksi paling berani dari keberadaan diri manusia terwujud dalam hidup, karya dan pelayanan Yesus. Dia adalah lebih dari pengenalan, merupakan rasa Allah, yang mengenai kita sebagai objekNya dan membuat kita mampu juga melakukan tindakan afeksi sebagai mendekat pada yang baik dan menghindari yang buruk.

Mengapa Melkisedek? karena lawan surat ini adalah mereka yang menganggap dirinya selamat karena genetis spiritual atau hereditas dari etnis. Melkisedek, tak terjelaskan dari mana asalnya, tapi Abraham Bapa Yahudi sangat menhormatinya bahkan memberi diri diurapiNya. Melkisedek dalam keagungannya adalah agung dalam arti dari sononya seumpaman Kristus.

Jadi mari melihat bahwa dalam keagungannya Yesus ibarat melkisedek yang tak usah diragukan kebenaran dan kehormatanNya, namun berkodrat ilahi dengan menjalankan dua fungsi utama sekaligus dalam karya mesianik, yaitu menjadi imam yang mengantarai dan memulihkan sekaligus menjadi kurban yang menggantikan sebagai ujud kasih afeksi terdalam dari Allah kepada manusia.

kalau sudah begini, masih tega kita beranggapan kita sama seperti yesus? rasanya jauh pinggan dari api. Tapi karya afeksi Yesus bisa diteladani dengan cara hidup dalamNya, dengan menerima kasihNya, dengan merasakan bahwa kita ini dikasihi, diterima dan beroleh kebaikan dan karena itu sangggup mengasihi dan mencintai. Maka, pelayanan akan menjadi karya kasih dan bukan pertunjukkan. Dilakukan dengan sikap bathin yang luhur dan tulus. Bukan menjadi proyek pertunjukkan.

Mencari Jodoh

Sabda-Mu Abadi | 5 Mei 2024 Nama hamba Abraham itu Eliezer. Artinya: Allah penolong. Tak banyak catatan tentang dirinya dalam Alkitab.

Yesus, Pemimpin kepada hidup, telah kamu bunuh,

tetapi Allah telah membangkitkan Dia dari antara orang mati.

Bacaan dari Kisah Para Rasul:

Setelah Petrus dan Yohanes menyembuhkan seorang lumpuh,

orang banyak yang sangat keheranan mengerumuni mereka.

Maka kata Petrus kepada mereka,

"Allah Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub,

Allah nenek moyang kita telah memuliakan Hamba-Nya,

yaitu Yesus yang kamu serahkan dan kamu tolak di depan Pilatus,

walaupun Pilatus berpendapat bahwa Ia harus dilepaskan.

Kamu telah menolak Yang Kudus dan Benar,

dan malah menghendaki seorang pembunuh sebagai hadiahmu.

Demikianlah Yesus, Pemimpin kepada hidup, telah kamu bunuh,

tetapi Allah telah membangkitkan Dia dari antara orang mati,

dan tentang hal itu kami adalah saksi.

Hai saudara-saudara,

aku tahu bahwa kamu telah berbuat demikian

karena ketidaktahuan,

sama seperti semua pemimpinmu.

Tetapi dengan jalan demikian Allah telah menggenapi

apa yang telah difirmankan-Nya dahulu

dengan perantaraan nabi-nabi-Nya,

yaitu bahwa Mesias yang diutus-Nya harus menderita.

Karena itu

sadarlah dan bertobatlah, supaya dosamu dihapuskan."

Demikianlah sabda Tuhan.

Engkau memberi kelegaan kepadaku di saat kesesakan;

kasihanilah aku, dan dengarkanlah doaku!

*Ketahuilah, Tuhan telah memilih bagi-Nya

seorang yang Ia kasihi;

apabila aku berseru kepada-Nya,

Ia mendengarkan.

*Banyak orang berkata,

"Siapa akan memperlihatkan yang baik kepada kita?"

Biarlah cahaya wajah-Mu menyinari kami, ya Tuhan!

*Dengan tenteram aku mau membaringkan diri

dan segera tertidur,

sebab hanya Engkaulah, ya Tuhan,

yang membiarkan aku diam dengan aman.

Yesus adalah pendamaian untuk segala dosa kita,

dan juga untuk dosa seluruh dunia.

Bacaan dari Surat Pertama Rasul Yohanes:

Anak-anakku,

hal-hal ini kutuliskan kepada kamu,

supaya kamu jangan berbuat dosa.

Namun jika seorang berbuat dosa,

kita mempunyai seorang pengantara pada Bapa,

yaitu Yesus Kristus yang adil.

Ia adalah pendamaian untuk segala dosa kita;

malahan bukan untuk dosa kita saja,

tetapi juga untuk dosa seluruh dunia.

Dan inilah tandanya bahwa kita mengenal Allah,

yaitu jikalau kita menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya.

Barangsiapa berkata 'Aku mengenal Allah'

tetapi ia tidak menuruti perintah-Nya,

ia adalah seorang pendusta,

dan di dalam dia tidak ada kebenaran.

Tetapi barangsiapa menuruti firman allah,

di dalam orang itu kasih Allah sungguh sudah sempurna.

Demikianlah sabda Tuhan.

Bait Pengantar Injil

Luk 24:32

Tuhan Yesus, bukalah arti Kitab Suci bagi kami,

dan kobarkanlah hati kami karena ajaran-Mu.

Bacaan Injil

Luk 24:35-48

Mesias harus menderita

dan bangkit dari antara orang mati pada hari yang ketiga.

Inilah Injil Suci menurut Lukas:

Dua murid yang dalam perjalanan ke Emaus

ditemui oleh Yesus yang bangkit

segera kembali ke Yerusalem.

Di sana mereka menceriterakan kepada saudara-saudara yang lain

apa yang telah terjadi di tengah jalan,

dan bagaimana mereka mengenal Yesus

pada waktu Ia memecah-mecahkan roti.

Sementara mereka bercakap-cakap tentang hal-hal itu,

Yesus tiba-tiba berdiri di tengah-tengah mereka dan berkata,

"Damai sejahtera bagi kamu!"

Mereka terkejut dan takut,

karena menyangka bahwa mereka melihat hantu.

Akan tetapi Yesus berkata kepada mereka,

"Mengapa kamu terkejut,

dan apa sebabnya timbul keragu-raguan di dalam hatimu?

Lihatlah tangan-Ku dan kaki-Ku: Aku sendirilah ini!

Rabalah Aku dan lihatlah,

karena hantu kan tidak ada daging dan tulangnya,

seperti yang kamu lihat ada pada-Ku."

Sambil berkata demikian,

Yesus memperlihatkan tangan dan kaki-Nya kepada mereka.

Dan ketika mereka belum percaya

karena girang dan masih heran,

berkatalah Yesus kepada mereka,

"Adakah padamu makanan di sini?"

Lalu mereka memberikan kepada-Nya sepotong ikan goreng.

Ia mengambilnya dan memakannya di depan mata mereka.

Yesus berkata kepada mereka,

"Inilah perkataan yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu

ketika Aku masih bersama-sama dengan kamu,

yakni bahwa harus digenapi semua yang ada tertulis tentang Aku

dalam kitab Taurat Musa, kitab nabi-nabi dan kitab Mazmur."

Lalu Yesus membuka pikiran mereka,

sehingga mereka mengerti Kitab Suci.

Kata Yesus kepada mereka,

"Ada tertulis demikian:

Mesias harus menderita,

dan bangkit dari antara orang mati pada hari yang ketiga.

Dan lagi:

Dalam nama-Nya

berita tentang pertobatan dan pengampunan dosa

harus disampaikan kepada segala bangsa,

mulai dari Yerusalem.

Kamu adalah saksi dari semuanya ini."

Demikianlah sabda Tuhan.

Ooooh, the three-names game looks fun! 1. for Victor Frankenstein, Robert Koch, and Abraham van Helsing (the Original), 4. for Celeborn, Pippin, and Eowyn, 5. for Vidomir, Jaska, and Artie

This took forever because i couldn't really decide for along time. But. here we go! 4. write a book with, read a book to, hit with a book Hit with a book no questions asked Robbie Koch. I hate this guy so much no amount of scientific discovery can outweigh how much of a shitty person he was. And since he was real, he gets to feel the pain i would otherwise have inflicted on Victor, but Victor is fictional and thus could never hurt or cause the death of hundreds if not thousands of people >:C Read a book to Victor Frankenstein. With him tied to a chair. The book would be about standards in scientific practice and maybe a legal work on parental responsibilities. Write a book with Abraham van Helsing. I think that could be fun, if we ever get to the writing and not distracted by who-knows-what. 5. go on a six hour road trip with (no car radio, you choose who drives), sit next to on a six hour plane flight, sit across from on a six hour train journey

this one is really hard okay???? this is what took me forever! Road trip would be Artie. I drive, he points out cool things and tells me of the geology/biology behind it. Maybe he even sings/we sing together, probably off-key but with a lot of fun. And if he told his mama or Francisca of the trip beforehand, he would've brought the best snacks i could never think of because i would've brought a map and something to drink and forget snacks. I do hope tho that he also brings his driver's licence because i would be physically unable to do a 6 hours non-stop trip anyway. We would change seats every 1-1.5 hours. Plane flight would be Vidomir because their presence would calm me down enough that i don't die of flight fright. They would chatter on about one thing or the other to distract me and notice when i need silence. We could nap shoulder to shoulder <3 Train Journey would be Jaska. When no conductors are around, she would let Shenanigan out of her sleeve and we both would stay entertained for the whole duration of the trip. She is also so tall she could easily reach the luggage rack above the seats to help me put all my stuff (if i bring more than a single backpack) away and even if i sit by the window, she could easily look over my head. Also, if it's a late-night or post-football game trip and there are any nazis or drunk hooligans, they would steer clear of us because of her face and sheer physical presence <3

Sopp. Das wäre es :)

Halo! Saya baru saja menulis sebuah refleksi menarik tentang Kitab Kejadian Pasal 17. Kisah Abraham, perjanjian kekal, dan arti sunat dalam tanda kesetiaan. 🤔✨

[mind-in-transit]

Hanya Aku

Yang paling mengerti kelemahan dan kehidupanmu

Apa artinya segenap hidup?

Kamu rela hidupmu diputar balik diobrak abrik 180 derajat, sesuatu yg tidak pernah kamu lakukan sbelumnya, sesuatu yg tidak pernah menjadi kebiasaanmu, sesuatu yg tidak pernah kamu pikir kamu dapat lakukan, sesuatu yg kamu pikir bukan karakter dirimu, tidak ada sedikit pun sisa dr manusia lama mu, semua harus dibersihkan, diubah ulang, tidak boleh menggenggam kebiasaan kesukaan apalagi karakter yang kamu pikir adalah dirimu

Tidak membatasi diri atas apa yang Tuhan mau atur ulang dari awal itu sebabnya merenggut segenap kehidupan. Membiarkan Tuhan melewati batas kedalaman hidupmu.

Kalau belum merenggut, belum merasakan sakitnya direnggut sepenuhnya, kamu belum menyerahkan semuanya, sebab tidak ada penyerahan diri yang tidak merobek dagingmu sampai mati. Kalau merasa tidak ada masalah, aman, kamu belum berjuang sepenuhnya mematikan dagingmu. Sama seperti luka pada tubuh jasmani yang sakit jika tertusuk, ketika dagingmu dirobek dan dihancurkan, ada kesakitan yang hanya Aku yang dapat pulihkan, sebab jika belum mati Aku tidak bisa hidupkan yang baru. Kematian daging yg menjadi tujuan sebelum kehidupan baru.

Allah membiarkan Abraham menunggu hampir seperempat abad bukan hanya untuk membuktikam iman percayanya, tapi ketika Ishak diminta, itu akan menggores sangat dalam apa yang sudah ia nantikan sekian lamanya. Bukan hanya memberikan apa yang paling dia kasihi, tapi menyerahkan pengharapan yang sudah dibangun sekian lama, waktu waktu penantian panjang, dan mau menyerahkan semua ekspektasi itu

Itulah arti penderitaan sesungguhnya, salib yang sesungguhnya. Bukan masalah2 kehidupan sehari-harimu, tp masalah keberadaan jiwa dan rohmu yang jauh dari kata bersih dan kudus. Yang tidak kudus tidak akan masuk tempat yang maha kudus.

Bacaan Injil Mat 9,1-8

Sesudah itu naiklah Yesus ke dalam perahu lalu menyeberang. Kemudian sampailah Ia ke kota-Nya sendiri. Maka dibawa oranglah kepada-Nya seorang lumpuh yang terbaring di tempat tidurnya. Ketika Yesus melihat iman mereka, berkatalah Ia kepada orang lumpuh itu: ”Percayalah, hai anak-Ku, dosamu sudah diampuni.” Maka berkatalah beberapa orang ahli Taurat dalam hatinya: ”Ia menghujat Allah.” Tetapi Yesus mengetahui pikiran mereka, lalu berkata: ”Mengapa kamu memikirkan hal-hal yang jahat di dalam hatimu? Manakah lebih mudah, mengatakan: Dosamu sudah diampuni, atau mengatakan: Bangunlah dan berjalanlah? Tetapi supaya kamu tahu, bahwa di dunia ini Anak Manusia berkuasa mengampuni dosa” – lalu berkatalah Ia kepada orang lumpuh itu –: ”Bangunlah, angkatlah tempat tidurmu dan pulanglah ke rumahmu!” Dan orang itu pun bangun lalu pulang. Maka orang banyak yang melihat hal itu takut lalu memuliakan Allah yang telah memberikan kuasa sedemikian itu kepada manusia.

Demikian sabda Tuhan

Terpujilah Kristus

Tuhan menyatakan bahwa “Tidak baik, kalau manusia itu seorang diri saja..” (Kej 2:18). Itu artinya manusia memang diciptakan sebagai mahluk sosial dari masyarakat majemuk. Kita butuh orang lain untuk bisa bertahan hidup dan saling membantu baik dalam lingkungan kerja, sekolah, keluarga maupun persekutuan gereja. Disaat seperti itu kita butuh teman-teman yang sanggup menguatkan, meneguhkan, mengingatkan dan menolong.

Dalam kisah mujizat orang lumpuh disembuhkan, kita melihat kegigihan empat orang teman yang menggotong teman yang menderita lumpuh agar dapat bertemu Yesus untuk mendapatkan keselamatan “mereka membuka atap yang di atas-Nya; sesudah terbuka mereka menurunkan tilam, tempat orang lumpuh itu terbaring." (Markus 2:4).  Tuhan Yesus melihat kegigihan dan iman mereka, kasih yang menggerakkan hati-Nya untuk bertindak.  Dan akhirnya mujizat dinyatakan!  Orang lumpuh itu pun berjalanlah! seperti halnya ketulusan hati Abraham mempersembahkan kurban anaknya yang tunggal dan mentaati sabda Tuhan dalam bacaan pertama Kitab Kejadian. 

Dari kisah ini kita bisa belajar tentang apa arti sebuah pelayanan yang sesungguhnya yang mendasari keempat orang rela melakukan sesuatu bagi teman mereka adalah kasih, simpati dan kerelaan untuk melayani bila kita ingin membawa orang lain kepada Kristus. Begitu pula dengan kita setiap anak-Nya diciptakan untuk menyatakan kasih, kerahiman dan kebesaran Kuasa-Nya melalui tugas perutusan

untuk memberitakan tentang Kerajaan Allah bagi yang "sakit" dan ‘tersesat’ dalam dosa agar mendapatkan ‘sukacita’ anugerah keselamatan yang ditawarkan oleh Bapa melalui teladan kasih yang mencerminkan Yesus. Allah senang bila manusia bertobat dan hidup dalam kebenaran-Nya seperti kisah anak yang hilang, domba yg hilang dan dirham yg hilang.

Setelah Yesus menyembuhkan orang lumpuh itu dikisahkan para ahli Taurat menganggap Yesus menghujat Allah karena memberikan pengampunan dosa seperti halnya Petrus dan Yohanes yang ditangkap, diadili, dan dipenjara dalam Kisah Para Rasul karena berkhotbah dan mewartakan kabar keselamatan. Bahkan dalam persidangan, dengan sangat licik para imam kepala mengajukan pertanyaan: “Dengan kuasa manakah atau dalam nama siapakah kamu bertindak demikian itu?" (ay. 7). Para pemimpin Yahudi ini hendak mencari tahu legalitas tindakan Petrus dan Yohanes, sebab sejauh ini mereka belum memberikan surat kuasa bagi keduanya untuk mengajar dan menyembuhkan. Pertanyaan para pemimpin Yahudi menjebak, sebab ajaran dalam Perjanjian Lama menegaskan bahwa hanya Tuhan sajalah yang memiliki kuasa untuk menyembuhkan, dan kalau ada nama lain yang disebutkan maka itu dianggap sebagai penghujatan terhadap Tuhan, dan akibatnya adalah hukuman mati (Ul 13:1-5); dan itulah yang mereka harapkan, mencari alasan untuk menghukum Petrus dan Yohanes. namun oleh kuasa Roh Kudus, Petrus justru memanfaatkan kesempatan dan pertanyaan tersebut untuk memberitakan pesanInjil bagi para pemimpin Yahudi. Pemberitaan mereka sangat jelas, yaitu tentang seorang yang bernama Yesus yang telah mereka salibkan dan mati tetapi telah dibangkitkan oleh Allah dari antara orang mati, dan sekarang dalam nama Yesus itulah orang lumpuh tersebut dapat disembuhkan, dan di dalam Yesus itu juga ada keselamatan bagi siapa pun yang percaya kepada-Nya

Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, tak jarang kita pun menerima tantangan dan penolakan dari orang atau kelompok tertentu. Misalnya, ketika kita menegur oknum korupsi, politik uang, bullying, saksi palsu maka kita bisa menerima resiko dikucilkan dan dimusuhi bahkan dibunuh. Dalam kisah tentang Petrus dan Yohanes yang dihadapkan Pengadilan Agama, para rasul mengajarkan bagaimana menjadi seorang pewarta sejati yang tidak lekas patah semangat dan tidak takut menjadi saksi Kristus karena penolakan yang ia terima dan mau menanggung salibnya. Roh Kudus akan memimpin setiap langkah kita untuk menjalankan teladan kasih dan kerendahan hati dan berlaku cerdik dalam menanggapi berbagai pencobaan dalam hidup.

The Unexpected Glee Revival 2022

To conclude my week-long(?) re-obsession with Glee, I want to post how I would re-write seasons 4 to 6 to make this all less of a mess. I have read several posts on here and I agree that a spin-off for the NY characters could have also been a great way to handle the ever-growing cast. Any other input is much appreciated - but be kind!

Seasons 4 and 5 only contain the episodes from „The New Rachel“ (67) to „City of Angels“ (99), with the finale of season 4 being „Feud“ (82). „City of Angels“ is the new finale of season 5, with Tina, Artie, Blaine, and Sam graduating. We still see what happens in New York alongside it.

In season 6, all the remaining glee club members (Jake, Marley, Ryder, Unique, Kitty, Joe, Sugar) are now seniors, with the new kids (Mason, Madison, Jane, Roderick, and later on Spencer and Alistair) being juniors and/or senior transfer students from different schools.

The remaining episodes of the original 5th season concerning life in New York are now the first part of season 6, with „The Untitled Rachel Berry Project“ being the last episode before the fall hiatus. When the show resumes, we start with „Loser Like Me“, the previously first episode of season 6.

In the first half of season 6, while the alumni try to navigate New York, Sue had no choice but to abandon the glee club because the school board said so due to them losing Nationals and it’s now cutting the funding for it. That also means that Will transferred to Carmel High because salary there is higher, and he needs the money, now that he has a child.

Still, the remaining seniors run an underground glee club, meeting in their homes or in empty school rooms. Sue every once in a while, when it’s safe, enables them to use the auditorium at night. When somebody questions why there’s light in the school in the middle of the night, Sue covers for them, on the outside still upholding her love-hate relationship towards the glee club.

When Rachel comes back and puts the remaining money from her TV project in it, the glee club is reinstated. To present them to the other glee clubs, Sue throws her infamous Invitationals, and the New Directions thank her by performing her emotional trigger songs favourite songs.

They enter the Regionals competition shortly after being reinstated due to a loophole, having missed Sectionals as that competition happened during their underground phase. The second-to-last episode then is Nationals, where they perform their original season 6 Sectionals setlist.

There is no „2009“ episode, instead we have a 90-minute-long series finale that features what happens in „Dreams Come True“, additionally to what happened to the remaining glee club members since then. Marley becoming a successful singer-songwriter in the style of Taylor Swift, Jake opening his own dance academy, Unique killing it on a TV show a la „Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist“, the show being directed by Artie and so on. (Especially this part can be expanded by your headcanons!)

There’s also a transfer student from Germany, ehem, my OC. Connie, a junior who decides to graduate at WMHS, so stays for all three seasons. She’s a fat asexual metalhead, is a good student but bored to death with American high school life and sometimes just downright shocked at how intolerant it is.

These are just a few bullet points. I didn’t want to go too much into detail because, ultimately, Glee is part of my past self and merely a coping mechanism for my current situation. 

(I also added some songs though I’m not sure if you’re interested in them as well.)

Oregon Trail TS3 Sim Narrowdown

Abraham: "He can be recognized by his very athletic looks despite his grandiose body and his long blond hair with red streaks. If Seasons is installed, Abraham normally runs the kissing booth for boys during the Spring festival." There's a lot to unpack here, but he's kind of a vibe.

Eugene: gives me grown-up kid from Hey Arnold energy.

Davy: "Davy Linnell is a"A pre-made babysitter from Sunset Valley. He can be made playable by asking him to move in, or by marrying him when he's older. He doesn't have any skills and relationships at the start of the game. He only has three traits instead of the usual four. Also, despite having the family-oriented trait, he is prone to neglecting the children's needs."

Nate: "Unusually for a non-alien, Nate's eyes are pitch black."

Edward: he's a magician so that's fun.

Artie: he has some pretty dramatic cheekbones.

Big Steve: the name sold me. Also "Oddly, his first name consists of two words instead of just one, which may imply a large physical or authoritative size, although this is unconfirmed." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY!?

Trevor: "In high school, Trevor Burton broke a lot of hearts on his ever-present quest for the next conquest. Will living on his own in a new town soften his outlook?" Flirty, commitment issues, couch potato. Cute? "Sometimes when the player makes a new game, Trevor may randomly be the boyfriend of any Sim he knows, even if it's one of his ex-girlfriends."
