This is going to sound crazy but please read the message. I am a Canadian veteran who owns a tree service company with equipment that can safely clear debris on / around roadways and power lines. Truck can reach up and out 109’ with saws to cut.

I do not know who to contact that is legitimate to get information on how to help if it’s possible.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You are wonderful to offer! There are so many areas in need of clean up help! Here are some ideas of people to contact, who aren't big groups like Red Cross, who will make sure help arrives!

I know the Baptist Mission in North Carolina is organizing some local clean up 800.395.5102 ext.5596. The TN Hurricane Helen clean up hotline is 844.965.1386. I've also contacted the regional Rotary Club in the TN area as they're coordinating some cleanup efforts there as well. When I hear back with their phone number, I'll update this.

Please fellow Tumblrs jump in and give local organization info with contact numbers who could help or use the help. God bless you kind Canadian!

(I RAMBLE IN THE TAGS ABOUT THIS AU)

I always come back to my "Little Grey Town" AU when I get back into overwatch, and I just want to say, I'm finally proud of my AU!Reaper Face reveal look.

I'll be doing McCassidy, Genji, and Baptiste next. Maybe I'll get to Sigma and Hanzo but I've got a lot of projects to do outside of this :')

churches

upper-class suburban churches kinda creep me out, not gonna lie.

like don’t get me wrong, God is definitely present, but even He seems uncomfortable in those stale, mass-produced things. it doesn’t help that the people there often seem like the only reason they are attending is to keep up appearances.

i dunno, maybe I’m just used to big churches with a larger, more lively and diverse population, or old quiet churches in the poorer parts of town that may be low on membership but are high in devotion and never seem to be entirely empty of people silently praying around the clock, or missions and soaring cathedrals steeped in hundreds of years of history where the very air seems filled by the glory of God. Those are the kinds of churches that exist in my area, and going to them feels like going home.

Even those little start-up baptist churches that set up in abandoned stores around the city seem preferable, even though they don’t belong to my denomination (I’m Catholic); the passion and faith is there at least, and I think that is what God cares about in a Church. After all, didn’t the early Catholic Church set up in catacombs and attics and the like? It’s just a reminder that we aren’t so different.

with the other churches, it feels like i’m walking into a liminal space, a place that is meant to be quickly attended and then left empty for the rest of the week. if these are the kinds of churches that exist across the US, I think it might be a contributing factor to why religion in general is declining here.

it’s doing fine in my city, tho. growing, actually.

This is hell! This is hell!

I hate the Bible Belt it’s so bad, I just lately fixed my baptist upbringing and recognized horny is fine actually, can we not say things like you should go to the homophobic as fuck baptist church full of conservative old people who say outrageously passive aggressive shit to you on a weekly basis???? Including at a fucking funeral????? Can we not make me guilty for my lack of enjoyment with organized religion that hates me and the things I do/the romance novels I read for fun????? I’d like that, actually, it’d be nice, but clearly I am in the actual hell I hate that church and every member of it! It should be dissolved! It won’t be though and that’s FINE!

Oh, where's my sermon... it's here somewhere...

*checks notes*

Evangelism is a sin against humanity.

*checks more notes*

That is all. I'm certain I've expounded on this elsewhere.

something that rly creeps me out…..occasionally ill see videos or articles for christians or christian missionaries that say something like “what you need to do is make friends with non christians and really get them to trust you and THEN you start preaching to them and bringing them to jesus” and that is….man how much would it hurt to know that the only reason someone’s hanging out with you is to convert you to a religion you were never interested in. maybe this is a real friend, someone you really really feel like you connect to, and all of a sudden you cant hang out with them without being scared they’ll bring out the jesus stuff.

Confronting the Evil in Front of Us (Mark 6:14-29)

Unfortunately, there are individuals in this world incapable of doing good.

St. John the Baptist rebuking Herod, by Giovanni Fattori (1825-1908) King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’s name had become known. Some were saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead, and for this reason these powers are at work in him.” But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John,…

i hate baptists why are you posting national geographic-level photos about your 'outreach' (this is a codeword for mission trip) in the global south. bitch all you're doing is reaching for a vacation. stfu and go home

[padrebaldo]

Pour Jésus, le baptême est-il un signe de conversion pour le pardon des péchés ? Alors Jésus avait-il aussi des péchés ? Et s’il ne les avait pas, pourquoi a-t-il également participé et reçu le baptême ? Une sorte de mise en scène ? Pourquoi Jésus a-t-il « vu les cieux déchirés » ? Pourquoi une colombe descend-elle sur lui ? Quelle signification le baptême a-t-il pour Jésus et quelles sont ses conséquences pour tous les chrétiens ?

"Pigs Not Blind Says Cameron," Cobalt Daily Nugget. February 6, 1912. Page 1. --- TORONTO, Feb. 6. - Rev. C. J. Cameron, assistant superintendent of Baptist Home Missions, writes from the north country of the trip he made to Porcupine. More in evidence than transports he says were the scores of blind pigs which have made Porcupine notorious throughout Canada as synominous for lawlessness. The term "blind" is misnomer, says Cameron, as the illicit saloons are run wide open.
