Do you have any more random observations about Sanders Sides? The last post with them was really cool

Gladly, kind traveler!!

We’ve been to Patton’s and Virgil’s rooms, but the remaining sides have all taken Thomas to a different realm of sorts (the debate room, the theater, the court room, and that weird black place from Forbidden fruit)

Roman resorts to Remus humor/ideas a surprising amount for someone who is terrified of being seen like him.

Virgil actually counted out every single time that Thomas had overthought a problem athd. Did he slow down time to make all the scratches in the wall? Does he make one new scratch for every time? Did he just bullshit a number? Also, him waving the scratches away is pretty cool.

Patton started taking off his pants in aio when Roman said that “I wear the pants in this house!” And yet, in aa, Patton made Thomas put his pants back on.

Thomas has a Very Specific track that plays almost every time something gets sentimental (like in Roman’s speech during aa) and it makes me tear up every time

The fact that they didn’t come up with and answer to ““why do we wake up in the morning?” Is kinda concerning, ngl. Also, that is a really long episode name hh (what even is the abbreviation?? wdwwuitm?)

Remus is even paler than Virgil, and obviously has darker eyeshadow, and yet everyone comments on *Virgil’s* makeup

Roman has had two food nicknames so far (Romano cheese and romaine lettuce) and has made two food comments (maybe more), one about corn and the other about mashed potatoes, and honestly same

Janus tends to turn his face when he’s lying, I believe. It’s especially prevalent in clbg, but I’d need to watch the other Janus eps to make sure that he keeps that habit

Roman refers to the Dragon Witch with she/her pronouns, and yet her voice was really deep and decidedly amab, so yeah she’s definitely trans and also I love her

Roman takes off his shirt like a girl. This statement makes total sense, I promise. I’m guessing most of y’all have seen that post with girls vs boys taking off shirts? That. (And if any of y’all wanna check, Roman starts taking off his shirt near the beginning-ish of lntao)

We haven’t seen Remus with purple hair, which makes me so, so sad. Do you think the tips of his mustache were purple, too?

Roman was wearing three-ish, four-ish layers in athd. I’m surprised he didn’t get heatstroke

Logan canonically is turned on by meeting deadlines, and that is the most cursed information within the entire show, Remus included. And no one mentioned it, for some reason??

When Thomas called Logan cool, the transcript reads “disbelieving scoff” and then he sinks out

According to his playlist, Remus is a toesucker. I am not surprised.

So, from what I’ve seen, the sides’ tics are: For Logan, adjusting his glasses and tie; for Roman, running his hands through his hair (and one or two times he fiddled or clutches at his sash); for Virgil, fiddling with his sleeves, and blowing at his hair (idk he does that often tho); for Patton....I actually can’t think of any at the moment, unless putting your hands in your hips counts as a tic; for Remus, that hand thing he did, idk what to call it; and Janus is so smooth and coy that I doubt he has one, though fiddling with his gloves would probably be most likely

Virgil just wanders around Thomas’s house, apparently?? Does he like...knock down glasses sometimes?? Can he interact with Thomas’s apartment??

Patton has the blinds, Roman has a tv and a lamp, Virgil has stairs, and Logan has what, the door?? The kitchen??? A hallway??? Why does he have so much room?? No wonder Janus has impersonated him the most, Logan actually has room to breathe over there

The dark sides seem to have trouble rising up?? Like, I’m excluding Remus’s first appearance bc he was crouched behind a tv and ambushing his brother and that’s a bit different than the standard rising up. Like, think about it, Virgil has risen up only twice, I believe, at the end of the two-parters, and Janus, when revealed, just sorta...appeared. And when he was impersonating Logan the first time, he wobbled a bit when rising up, and the second time, he just popped into the lowdown, and at the end of the lilypadton scene, he just kinda walked into place or smth. Remus rose up from behind the tv, but after that, he just kinda appeared and reappeared later. I wonder why?

Thomas has a lamp, tv, a light switch and a window all within five feet of each other.

Logan used to stand in roughly Virgil’s spot (the first couple eps), and Roman used to stand in Patton’s spot. It’s so strange to me when I rewatch the eps.

The first time Roman rose up, he kinda....rose up from the side? In a rainbow motion??? How did Thomas even DO that???

I’m also confused as to how they made roman’s hair look like it was being pulled in logic vs passion

Roman has like three-ish (his shirt seems to be made of two parts, idk if that counts as a second layer or not lol) layers, even with a black shirt underneath, while Remus has a wide collar with no undershirt like the gay slut that he is

Aaaannnd that’s all I can think of for now but THANKS for asking it’s so fun to do these (I hope I didn’t repeat any lol) and sorry for any spelling mistakes It’s like 2am lol

CSA WEEK 7

- t h e p i c k l i s t -

SHISHITOS! - BELL PEPPER - ROMAINE LETTUCE - RED KALE - GREEN BEANS - FLAT PARSLEY - CARROTS - BLUEBERRIES - PATTY PAN SQUASH - DANGJO CHEONG YANG (PURPLE HOT PEPPER) - TOMATOES

No one is surprised to hear that this newsletter was written inside a dry farm office space while torrential madness was going on outside. Also, prior to dry office salvation, Kayleigh and i were cutting the last bunches of parsley from the field… and then it started. from light rain to heavy rain, with all the gusts included, there were too many curse words to name at this moment and I’m going to be perfectly frank with you and say- there was 0 fun being had. My boots are once again filled with water, the fields are once again overwhelmed with moisture, the crew is attempting a blueberry pick in this mess, I’m pissed. If you listen closely, and raise your ear to the wind just right, i bet you can catch a listen to the collective farmer grunt of frustration heard round the Upper Valley, etc… this is a tough year for job production/field production/general lifestyle that so heavily depends on the weather.

But to sweet us all up, let’s go pick some blueberries…

Taking place this SATURDAY, it’s a Pop-up PYO Blueberry “glean”

I put the glean in quotations, because it is not the end of the season by any means, and these berries are good!- so it’s more like a PYO til your heart’s content. Why are we doing this? Because, why not- yall are great, our crew has moved on from this field to another and tis the season to harvest!

AND now, the details… BUT, email me if you have any questions at all ([email protected]):

WHO: Open to the entire Edgewater Farm C.S.A. community

WHERE: if you are coming from the North End of River Road, go past the Greenhouses and McNamara Dairy- turn at the Cemetery.

THE ADDRESS for all your googling: 355 River Road/ Plainfield, NH

WHEN: This Saturday!!!, JULY 31st from 11:30-1:30pm; rain or shine though we will cancel in case of thunder and lightning

HOW: You pick! Bring your own containers, we will have zero supplies for you to pick into. FYI, if you have a used yogurt container and a shoelace, poke holes in in the yog. container and make yourself a picking necklace- it’s fashion forward and an extremely efficient way to pick- very hip, all the kids are doing it.

WHY: So many reasons, here are a few... because it's awesome, the berries are free and delicious, it's the end of July and this is what you do as we enter August: pick and preserve!

PRO TIPS:

½ cup mayonnaise

1½ tsp. (or more) Sriracha

1lb. thick-cut bacon (thin strips have a tendency to get burnt and overly crisp)

8 ½"-thick slices white sandwich or Pullman bread

2 ripe medium beefsteak tomatoes, cut into thick slices

Flaky sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

½ head of iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Step 1: Prepare a grill for medium heat. Stir together mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl. Taste and add as much Sriracha as desired to meet your preferred level of spiciness.

Step 2: Arrange bacon strips across grate and grill until lightly charred around the edges, 5–7 minutes. (Flare-ups are common, so lower the lid if needed and carefully raise just to check doneness.) Turn bacon over and grill until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Cooking times can vary significantly based on how thick your bacon is and the heat of your grill. (If you’re grilling bacon for the first time, keep a close eye on it and check often.) Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.

Step 3: Arrange bread on grate and grill until toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a cutting board.

Step 4: Spread Sriracha mayonnaise over 1 side of each slice of bread. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper, then build sandwiches with lettuce on the bottom, tomatoes in the middle, and bacon on top (tear lettuce leaves and cut bacon in half to fit nicely if needed). Close up sandwiches and slice in half on a diagonal.

Step 5: You can also serve this as a BLT buffet: Arrange toast, bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce on platters with Sriracha mayo and salt and pepper alongside and let everyone make their own.

1 pound SHISHITOS

2 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1tablespoon fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Step 1: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toss chiles with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Grill chiles on a grill topper, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter; drizzle with fish sauce and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

And while the grill is on… PATTY PAN SQUASH!!

Cut into thick slices, pattypan squash, which look sort of like small flying saucers, can make a juicy sort of “steak” that could be topped by a pungent sauce. Grill or roast the “steaks” and serve them with this gorgeous green sauce. You’ll need only half the amount of salsa verde that this recipe yields, but it keeps very well in the refrigerator and it’s great to have on hand.

1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), halved, green shoots removed

Salt to taste

1 anchovy fillet, rinsed (optional)

1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

¾ cup (tightly packed) parsley leaves (25 grams)

Freshly ground pepper

2 pounds large pattypan squash

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Combine the garlic, salt, anchovy fillet and capers in a mortar and pestle and grind to a paste. If you wish to make the sauce in a mini food processor or with an immersion blender (an immersion blender works very well, especially if it has a strong motor), transfer to the processor or place in a jar. Add the parsley. If using a mortar and pestle, grind together until you have a paste. If using a food processor or an immersion blender, add the olive oil with the parsley and blend to a purée. If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and work into the mixture. Continue to grind until you have a very smooth mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If serving within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat, and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Alternately, prepare a hot outdoor grill.

Slice the squash 3/4 inch thick and toss in a bowl with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Sear in the hot pan for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the surface is lightly browned, and transfer to a sheet pan. Place in the oven and roast for 5 minutes. Using tongs, turn the pieces over and roast for another 5 minutes, until they are sizzling and tender all the way through. Remove from the heat. If grilling, grill the pieces for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are tender all the way through and beginning to drip.Transfer the squash slices to a platter. Top each one with a teaspoonful of the salsa, and serve hot or warm.

Transfer the squash slices to a platter. Top each one with a teaspoonful of the salsa, and serve hot or warm

YOUR HOT PEPPER OF THE WEEK:

Dangjo Cheong Yang is a unique Asian pepper that is similar in pungency and appearance to a serrano. The fruit are purple in color and ripen to a deep dark red color. It’s easy to harvest and uniform. Outstanding yield and good ripening ability in short season growing areas.

Surviving Memories

Today I ran my fingers over the flimsy metal letters on our fridge. “Hello, My name Blenda.” I didn’t expect the tears to crowd the corners of my eyes, forcing their way through an old pathway to slip free my ducts and cross the plains of my cheeks. They didn’t get far before I dashed them with my index finger. Those letters are like the contours of memory. I feel their edges with my finger and suddenly it explodes back to me. The way you laughed when you found that silly babysitter posting, the way you smiled when you planted it on our fridge. The shapes of memories live in this place like an ecosystem of reverie. The orchids, two still alive. The first you got me when we had a fight. You went out and brought me this flower in the rain. Not plucked but planted. I always believed that as long as it lived and bloomed, we would continue to come back from argument and pain to remember what we loved about each other. The words you painted after we moved into the cottage on the garage door. Home is wherever I’m with you. I see them every time I go to get a cider from the fridge or do laundry. The computer and the drawing tablet I bought two subsequent birthdays, hoping I could help provide the tools you needed to pursue your passion for drawing and art...a passion I was always humbled you would include me in...drawing comics during our games and little pictures of me....or me and you together. The save file for Kingdom Hearts on the PS4 I cannot bring myself to erase...I remember you cursing as you fought the Cerberus and I laughed. I enjoyed seeing you play video games so spiritedly. The DS I have not been able to touch. We had been so close to beating the last gym...an entire pokemon game journey together. I so loved that you wanted to do it with me.

These are bittersweet pains now. Sweet to remember but painful at the end...for I will never have these kinds of memories with you again. The joy I felt in that time, the pure happiness I had experienced with no one else...I want more of it. I selfishly want more, a lifetime more. They made me so happy to share with you. I was so fortunate and blessed to be your husband...and in my heart, these memories remind me that I wanted nothing else so much as I did the joy you showed, flashing your ring at the people making hot cocoa during the Winter Lights. The tears of absolute love in your eyes. I cherish those moments. I want to relive them again and again. I was so sure you would be my ally for the hard and soft years to follow.

It makes me wonder if things might have been different if you were the one to stay and I the one to go. The cottage seems more cavernous than it ever has been without you, but every corner is filled with memory...both good and bad. It perhaps figures that I remember more good ones than bad...as though my brain sweeps in to cover the pain and tears. But then and again, I was always a bit like that. I liked to sweep the pain of betrayals or loss away from me so I could more easily forgive and cherish. I sought to heal and grow rather than cut things away. I suppose that’s the part of me that hungers for validation and acceptance. I would need to leave someone on my own terms for it to not sing and bother me, but I am not the kind of person to leave someone. I know that before in years before we were married I seemed like someone who teetered on the edge between commitment and abandonment. I made you balance there, not knowing if the next argument would spell the doom of our relationship...a future you had assured yourself was the one you wanted. So you lived in fear and I was never quite able to assure you again that I had finally come to the knowledge of what was most important.

I know that in terms of relationship we both worked hard over the years in methods that did not work. We would try to make changes to ourselves we thought the partner wanted and feel overwhelming sorrow when the efforts were not noticed or appreciated. Rather than communicate, we guessed at what we needed and shrank from professional help. My embrace of therapy at the end was something I had been working towards months previously with the ADHD coach, trying to get my brain in order so I could better prepare myself for a new job and to be a good husband to you. I thought gifts, packed lunches, words of affirmation and quality time would help but I was not always on the ball there, was I? Our quality time became the refuge of the stressed. Shows and eating. Movies became fearful occasions where a fight might develop and the car became saturated with memories of battles fought. All the lessons I have now to have stopped those times from escalating only serves to underline my numerous errors in past that I play over and over again in my mind. I have combed through our text conversations month by month and forced myself to read the long diatribes I sent, the insecurity, the fear I made you swallow...the accusations and the ways I expected you to KNOW what I needed when I could have simply told you. You wanted me to tell you. The times I could have told you that your concern and presence made things so much easier to swallow. And all the lessons of past regret and mistake cannot undo the decision you made.

It had reached a point of stress you could no longer swallow and your life felt ont he verge of breaking to pieces. You saw, in us, the shadows of the people we used to be and wanted to escape a relationship you felt could only diminish us. I wish I could have given you my eyes, to let you see with the eyes I had in that time. You told me that it felt like we were shoveling this pile that never got smaller and only bigger. That I refused to turn around and see the pile for what it was...to see and be consumed with the hopelessness you felt. I do not think I said the right things then. I should have said that I knew there was sharp edges and damage in our past and present. But if we could help each other let go of the pain from not being understood, we could understand each other. It was the fear of being misunderstood, the pain of being rejected that kept us prisoners in the roles we played between each other. Your anger was a tool you developed to protect yourself and rather than shrink from it like a wilting flower, punishing you for expressing yourself, I should have calmly let the anger wash over me, held your hand and listened. It was never my intention to steal your deserved place of indignation and pain. It was never a calculated move to prostrate myself and try to transmute anger to sympathy. It was a vestige of a frightened past...being helpless before anger. My father, Liz...they left scars upon me that taught me that anger was not something I could fight and when it thundered from expression or tone, to take shelter and seek to be as small as possible. But that was not being a caring partner to you and allowing your emotions to live freely within you...to have the right to express them. I was always able to cry around you, express that deep and vulnerable part of myself to you...but it became a reaction to helplessness. A helplessness I thrust upon myself. I was not afraid of you. Never you. I was afraid your anger would rise and you would decide to leave me. You would abandon me and walk out the door not to look back. I was as terrified as you were of being left behind and abandoned for my opinions or requests or words...as afraid as I still am now. Emotionally, to me, it is exactly what happened that Sunday. I remember the words I said, the words I most regret saying. That you might not like the person I was at the end of the two months. I can see, certainly, how you would have seen that as me trying to prompt your decision early. I wish I could have taken those words back and said them again. What I meant to have said was that I missed you, deeply and sincerely. My life felt confusing and there was a lot of fear in me that I was only capable of pushing you away from me rather than healing some of the stress and damage between us. That it was hard but I felt and believed the work so worth it and I supported you in the journey you needed to make internally and through our couples therapy over the two months. I remember the Sunday before, when we sat beside the fire and tried Imago dialogue, when you told me how small and unheard you felt. How exhausted you were being my emotional parent. I remember coming to the promise of Imago and you said you could only commit two months and that we would reevaluate after a month of therapy had passed. But that you would commit to two months with me. I hooked my pinky around yours and pressed my thump against yours to seal the deal. That Friday you kissed me for the last time outside your office. I held you in my arms and I said I loved you. That I was in love with you still. And you told me you were in love with me and loved me too. And there was such a surge of emotion from within me, a mountain of relief and all I wanted to do was pull you even closer. Even closer still. Tonight the shadow of the wheeled drawers you bought for us looks back at me...an unseemly lump in the darkness. I remember we would keep your lunch supplies in baggies in the second drawer and every night I would happily write you a letter and pack your bag for the next day. That little joy of mine, packing you a lunch you brought in with you, meant so much to me. Do you remember? You packed me lunches first...before I stopped eating lunch. You wrapped deli meet in romaine lettuce with mustard and mayo. You prepared for me fat bombs when I was trying keto. You helped me on that journey...you even came to the gym with me. I remember how much fun I had pushing you across the parking lot in the shopping cart, steering you this way and that. I remember the peace I felt when you were beside me in the car. Sometimes memories have their way of overwhelming and making the time more empty. While you may have taken many moments of solace when you were alone to your own work and devices, I was never too at ease on my own...but as long as you were a text away, my heart was content. You made scary moments peaceful and safe. You made sad moments tolerable. In ways I could go on for pages describing you helped temper the roughest edges of my life with your love and acceptance. And its absence feels so enormously heavy. Your hope is that I will eventually go out and move on but I think you project the plan you will eventually take. As the one who left (not to understate the difficulty of the decision) you are the one who has struck out in new freedom. I am what has been left behind, a shadow of your past still wishing there was any way I could create a new future with us where we both felt heard. Where we both were together. I know that for you, no such future exists. I am the fool holding shattered pieces of a mirror you chose to step through with me. A mirror you agonized for over a month deciding whether I was worth that choice...whether I was worth that chance. I am so sad that I was not, in the end, worth the choice to step through that mirror. I wanted to be your partner and I was committed in my heart to doing the work necessary to get through the rough parts of our marriage and forge a new relationship together based on mutual respect and care...understanding and love. I should have come home from work on time. I should have gone out with you to Karaoke and trivia. I should have given the shows at the White Rabbit another chance. I should have paused the games when you were too tired to continue. I made these selfish decisions which spelled for you a reality that was not true. You meant so much more to me than you ever thought you did. My life is a ruin without you in it. Even should you cut off all contact with me, set me aside again, the pain will flare and remain constant. I’m a fool who is still in love with you. I am a fool who wears his ring and prays useless prayers that the buzzing of my phone will be you calling me without me asking...that you will drive to the cottage and stand in my doorway with that shy smile and those big, luminous eyes...ask to see Phoebe and to go on a walk. That you’d invite me back to your place...that you wouldn’t be afraid of me knowing where it was. I hope and pray for these things that I cannot always ask for. I know so few of them you are willing or interested in granting. This thump-a-thump love in my heart is so foolish...is it not? I hoped and prayed you would feel the same way...that it was hard to be away from me or to not see me or talk to me. Even a fraction as hard as it is for me. But all I sense in our communications is a sense of obligation and a well of concern. Of course, concern. I do not seem to be able to provide good news to you or a live that is thriving. You feel as though I cannot get my life together and whether you believe it or not...I feel like a needy creature. Oh Snapdragon. I remember the night before you left. How we clutched at each other in the night. How you texted that you wanted to stay together but you were so afraid and so tired. How the next day our argument and my tears...how you lost everything outside the Hotcakes Emporium. How I held your hand all the way home telling you we would work hard together and make it through. How futile it all felt in the end. You had asked me so many times to not leave. You asked me to stay and work with you on the relationship and I did. I did because I loved you and I knew that even if love was not all we needed, it was the fuel that would drive us to a place of peace and understanding. And when I asked you to stay and give this therapy a chance. To let me have this chance to save our marriage by saving myself and to address and SEE you... You told me you had given me so many chances to prove that. That you had no more chances to give. I cannot remember a time before January that I asked for you to stay with me and work with me to fix our marriage...that i was ready to do what I was afraid to have done before and I knew the work to be worth it. So many chances had passed that I was unaware of slipping me by. Not till it was too late. All I had were the messages of a girl who had been very much in love with a boy. How they had gotten married and were so happy...and then let the stress bury and estrange them. How they could not recover. And honestly it feels so exhausting. The road back to even you being interested in seeing me again, much less trusting me...seemed impossible and far. I despair. And I will not lie and tell you that I don’t think of you fondly and painfully each day. How I sometimes see you pop online and wonder if you’re on messenger...if you’ll say hello to me. How sometimes past 11 I will wonder if I will get a call from you as you fall asleep and say goodnight. How I wonder if the conversations you have with others are not more entertaining and relaxing. How I wonder about that last date night we had together, beneath the triumph of Fort Gatlinburg eating my seasoned fries and aioli and watching Holes. How happy and content I was with you. I would give anything to feel your arms around me again, wrap them around you under the covers. To lay on the couch with you on top of me watching a movie. I cried, do you remember? During Toy Story. Because I was afraid it would be the last one we would watch together as a couple... You assured me that it wouldn’t be, but by the next week it was over. I recognize your long history of working on this relationship and the helplessness you felt at the end. The inability to have any more arguments. Do you remember my desperate affirmations? My list to go over ways to better communicate and support each other? I tried so hard in the ways I knew best to show you that I loved you above any other difficulty in my life and I was committed to trying to find a way to show you that I would never abandon you. That you were my future. I am still mourning the fact that I cannot be yours. I still feel each time there is a long silence between us that you will suddenly send me a message explaining you don’t think we should speak any more. That someone has advised you not to talk to me and you need to ask me to leave your life forever. I feel I am, truly and completely, an anchor you will eventually decide slows your progress and will cut me from your rails. That were I to simply stop trying to seek your words and your attention...you would forget mine. After all. What can a lovelorn fool like me contribute any longer? I am a sad ballad of loss and ruined hope, praying to see someone who no longer wants to see him. At least. That is what I feel. And the night is long. The night is quiet. The night is cold. I miss you. I always will, Snapdragon. You were so much more important than you’ve ever known.

God got me pregnant

I make no apologies for what I am about to say because it is important. The testimony of Jesus says God shall be born of a Virgin. This is the truest fact ever said. Let us examine.

The testimony of Jesus says that He shall be born of a Virgin. But without Christ it does not make the sense it does, because Christ is the most essential component. The language of the Spirit of God is prophecy, and its Google Translator is the Blood of Jesus. Revelation 19:10 says “Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow slave with you and your brothers who have the testimony about Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

People abroad have already replicated birth without a man. So it is not just the virgin birth that is important. In order to understand the Virgin Birth you have to understand both the birth and the contraction. The birth is Christ, and the contraction is the Holy Spirit. The father is God, because his seed was put forth in Christ on the Earth. If one is missing, it does not work. Birth without contractions is Frankenstein. Contractions without a birth is a stomach virus, probably caused by the romaine lettuce that they recalled. Virgin Birth without a prophecy has no context, the prophecy about the birth of Christ without a virgin birth loses its meaning. So you need the two together, both the virgin birth and the prophecy. This is the RHEMA and LOGOS word. LOGOS is the written word of God and RHEMA is the spoken Word of God. The prophecy is the Logos Word that was written by God and the virgin birth is the Rhema Word spoken into existence.

Some people say the Devil made me do it but it’s a special anointing to say God made me pregnant. Imagine if Maury got Mary to come on her show and the paternity test said God is the Father. But there is no more truth because God is our Father, and he is a good, good father. The seed represents both the virginity of Mary, and the fatherhood of God. Since Mary was a virgin, God was the father of Jesus just as he is the father of us. Before Jesus was the Root of Jesse, the Living Water, and the Bright and Morning Star he was a seed. This was divine hydroponic technology, this was an all-encompassing because he was self-contained to save. The Living water that bubbled up back and forth helped with the growth of the Seed. The Seed that was planted was held there by the Root of Jesse. The Bright and Morning Star helped to shine a light that could not be dimmed.

It is a good thing Joseph thought of putting Mary out quietly. Think of the catastrophe, A lot of the Bible would be misunderstood because it pertained to Jesus. So we would be worshipping the three true Gods, and tripping over snakes. Isn’t that what the Fall is without Christ. A religion not similar at all to what we worship but one totally different. When God said Let us, it would be a separate God talking and a separate God listening. When God talks about man fighting with a snakes it would be like someone taking the Black Mamba nickname too literally. It would be polytheism mixed with someone who wanted to either shoot like Kobe, or was mad because he could not shut Kobe down in the NBA. Like he ever had the chance, or we could have the chance to stop Satan without Christ. Because Satan is a snake. The Sons of Sceva is a Sceva doctrine, the idea of speaking power without connectedness. It would be the God who someone else preaches rather than our God. And it would end with a beating, and us running scared.

God did not just use a snake he bruised it. God is not a snake charmer he is a conqueror. In Moses time the snake was lifted up to save, because the power was not in the snake but in God. But by Hezekiah’s time the snake had become an idol so it had to be broken.

Whatever is God must be broken and bruised and wounded to save. In the Bible the bruising is an intentional wounding. Christ is our God, but he was broken, bruised and wounded for our iniquities. When it says that it shall bruise thy head it is talking about the crown of thorns. But in that crown was caked blood which spoke deliverance to the Most High. What the Devil thought mockery God called it his death sentence. When Christ was condemned to die the Devil was condemned was condemned to death. When Christ rose up from the grave with freedom he gave us his walking papers.

The Bible says that He was bruised so he could bruise. It was reciprocity, a trial where the Accuser who is the prosecutorial Devil met the Advocate in the defense attorney Jesus at the courts of the Most High. This was a bench trial because God sat in righteous judgment as The Judge. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Every one of these points to the power of the blood, because each of these represents an entryway through which was blood spilled. The wounding of the transgression speaks to the spear in his side. The bruising of the iniquities symbolizes the thorny crown. The chastisement of our peace is the nails in his feet. God clothed us with the sandals of peace, and Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but what ties sandals together is nails. That nail was tying us, to him.

And by his stripes is the cross on his back. He carried that cross on his back. When God wanted to create man he selected ribs from his side, but when Christ wanted to give up his life he let the spear enter his side. When we were sinners God turned his back, so Christ took the cross to us to redeem. But with Christ it is the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and the foot of Christ stepping on the head of the serpent.

The Bible says that Cursed is he who hangs from a tree. But Jesus broke the curse by hanging from a tree and rising again. Luke 12:58-59 says “Make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.” The wages of sin is death. The Devil thought that the bank of Christ had insufficient funds so he tried to do bank fraud. He was the most corrupt prosecutor, who was so bade he was sentenced to his own prison he tried to put us in, because hell is his prison. But he was surprised when he tried to draw out blood and power came out. He put the crown of thorns and power came out. He whipped Jesus back and more power came out. He put those nails in the feet of Jesus and power came out.

He pierced Jesus side and power, power, power came out in abundance because even though the blood and the water came out, the Living Water and the Everlasting Blood came out to the ground. Where there is a will there is a way. A will can mean one of two things. You can either have the will to do something or the will to bury someone and it not come back up. So we should have the right will because the ground we stand on and put our efforts will honor our will. And Christ cannot be buried because he has done it all.

The ground that was cursed by God received deliverance because it was touched by the Living Water. When God said whomsever he meant all of whomsever, ground, sea, air. The Trinity addressed each of them. The Holy Spirit sat on the waters, the Blood of Jesus speaks from the ground, and God resides in the air. The ground that was cursed was now blessed. God is so good that when Jesus’s side was pierced, the ground was delivered and remembered its position, to bring out the Seed. It is not enough to be the Seed, the Seed must become the Branch which must become the Tree planted by the flowers of living water. The ground had to be delivered for the Seed to rise up. The blood is our currency, our coin, and that crimson stain is our dollar bill.

What I spent on groceries in July (A Grocery Geek report)

Want a peek into our grocery cart? Here’s how I’m buying groceries and feeding eight people on the cheap.

Hey there! Hi there! Can you believe how quickly the summer has flown by? We are inching up on back to school, so I’m battening down the hatches!

July was a pretty relaxing month with beach days and trips to the movies and a weeklong visit from friends-closer-than-family, but at the same time, I tried to keep my eye open for things that will make my life easier once school starts.

If you’re new here, you might not know that I teach my kids at home. The two eldest are in college, but I’ve got four students on my watch. Trust me when I say, “The days are just packed!”

That means I need to be on my game. This month I spent a fair amount of time prepping fruit for the freezer. Or rather, my daughters did. They were my chief cherry pitters as I stocked up on cherries that were on sale. All my kids love to make smoothies, so if I can fill our freezer with bargain frozen fruit, we’re in business.

I also found a few other items on clearance, like a variety of jams with at least a year before their best-by dates. That’s the only good thing about your Walmart remodeling. They unload some good stuff for cheap. The rest of the time, you’re cursing them for moving EVERYTHING to a new location.

But, I digress.

You’ll notice that our overall bill this month is a little higher than normal. I attribute that to a few splurges at ALDI as well as the stocking up for later thing. Since our average was already under budget, I had plenty of cushion to go over. In fact, our year-to-date average is still under budget! Yay!

And we’ve got surplus in the freezer and cupboards for future months. With six kids it’s pretty hard to get ahead in a truly substantial way — they are perpetually hungry! — but I’m trying. In doing so, particularly when I find screaming deals, we save a lot of money.

Per the most recent USDA food cost reports (link below), we’re more than $300 UNDER a food stamp budget for a family of our make-up. Yay for good cheap eats!

The Grocery Geek report

For those of you new here, Grocery Geek is my regular report of how I shopped for groceries, what deals I found, and my running total of how we’re sticking to a budget for groceries.

Here’s the rundown on my shopping this week. As you read, keep in mind who and how I’m shopping:

My grocery shopping profile

To update you on my grocery geekiness:

I’m feeding eight people, ages 55, 46, 21, 17, 16, 14, 11, and 9. Five of those people are males. They eat A LOT!

I’m shooting for a budget of $1100 this year, trying to beat what the feds think it will cost. Per the most recent USDA food cost reports it should cost our family $1346.60 to eat all meals at home under the “thrifty plan” for people of our demographics.

We live in Southern California where produce is cheap, but meat and dairy are not.

I’m trying to feed us mostly unprocessed foods, with a few “healthier” convenience items thrown in and a junk food splurge* here and there.

I work at home and teach five of our kids, so I don’t have as much time for fiddling in the kitchen as I would like.

I no longer use coupons on a regular basis, though I do love the coupons that Ralphs offers.

I have at least ten grocery stores within 5.5 miles of my house. It is easy (for better or for worse) to stop at several stores to get the best deals.

We mostly eat at home. My husband and college age son often pack lunch and breakfast to work, but sometime have lunch out. My husband and I enjoy a date once a week. FishPapa takes one child out to “dinner with dad” once a week. We eat out as a family on average once a week.

BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME FOR EXTRAVAGANCE, please read this post.

This week, babies were born and lettuce was thrown out. Here’s a look at some top Search trends from the week, with data from theGoogle News Lab.

What’s in a name?

A lot, if you’re a Royal. After Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed a son into the world this week, searches for “name of new royal baby” went up more than 3,000 percent. The newly-named Prince Louis’s siblings were also of interest—searches for “Prince George full name” went up 1,000 percent, and “Who is Princess Charlotte named after?” was also a trending question.

Trying to conjure up some tickets

Muggles and wizards alike are wondering “How much are tickets to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?” (we’re guessing it’ll be a lot of Galleons). They may be ditching Orlando for New York—the play was more popular in Search than the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but not quite as popular as “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical,” which was the most searched Broadway play this week.

More baby news

An image of a shirtless Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson holding his newborn baby girl went viral this week, and people oooh-ed and aaah-ed all over Search (interest in “the rock new baby” went up 2,750 percent). This was after he got a heartfelt invitation to prom from a superfan in Minnesota, which caused searches for “the rock prom” to go up 1,850 percent. Quite the week!

Lettuce warn you

Search questions are a mixed bag, but here’s one that stood out this week: “Is it safe to eat romaine lettuce yet?” If you’d like some side trends with your salad, there’s been a 1,000 percent increase in searches for “ecoli virus,” and the most searches for “e. coli” are coming from Alaska, Montana and Idaho.

An ending to marvel at

“The Avengers: Infinity War” hit the big screen this week, and there’s one thing on everyone’s mind: “Who dies in Infinity War?” Searches for “infinity war spoilers who dies” went up nearly 1,000 percent this week. We won’t spoil anything, but according to one top Search question—”How many post-credit scenes are there in Infinity War?”—you should stick around until the very end.

He shall be born of a virgin.

Thesis- The testimony of Jesus says that The Government shall be on his shoulders, and He shall be born of a Virgin. These are three testimonies, Governance, shoulders, and Virgin Birth.

Anti-thesis- But without Christ it does not make the sense it does, because the Spirit of God is prophecy.

Synthesis- Revelation 19:10- Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow slave with you and your brothers who have the testimony about Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony about Jesus /is the spirit of prophecy."

1) People abroad have already replicated birth without a man. So it is not just the virgin birth. Birth without Contractions is Frankenstein. Contractions without a birth is a stomach virus, probably caused the romaine lettuce that they recalled. Virgin Birth without a prophecy has no context, prophecy without a virgin birth loses its meaning. So you need the two together, both the virgin birth and the prophecy. This is the RHEMA and LOGOS word. LOGOS is the written word of God and RHEMA is the spoken Word of God. The prophecy is the Logos Word, and the virgin birth is the Rhema Word.

This Angel not wanted worship, but redirection, is proof of the divinity of God. He fell at his feet because he was awed. But the Angel pointed to the Most High and said I worship him too

Ooh it is a good thing Joseph thought of putting her out quietly. Think of the catastrophe, A lot of the Bible would be misunderstood because it pertained to Jesus. So we would be worshipping the three true Gods, and tripping over snakes. Isn’t that what the Fall is without Christ. A religion not similar at all to what we worship but one totally different. When God said Let us, it would be a separate God talking and a separate God listening. When God talks about man fighting with a snakes it would be like someone taking the Black Mamba nickname too literally. It would be polytheism mixed with someone who wanted to either shoot like Kobe, or was mad because he could not shut Kobe down in the NBA. he ever had the chance.

The Bible says that Cursed is he who hangs from a tree. But Jesus broke the curse by hanging from a tree and rising again.

1) Luke 12:58-59- Make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.” The wages of sin is death. The Devil thought that the bank of Christ had insufficient funds so he tried to do bank fraud. He was the most corrupt prosecutor, who is sentenced to his own prison, because hell his prison. But he was surprised when he tried to draw out blood and power came out. He put the crown of thorns and power came out. He whipped Jesus back and more power came out. He put those nails in the feet of Jesus and power came out. He pierced Jesus side and power, power, power came out in abundance because even though the blood and the water came out, the Living Water and the Everlasting Blood came out to the ground.

The ground that was cursed by God received deliverance because it was touched by the Living Water. When God said whomsever he meant whomsever. The ground that was cursed was now blessed. God is so good that when Jesus’s side was pierced, the ground was delivered and remembered its position, to bring out the Seed. It is not enough to be the Seed, the Seed must become the Branch which must become the Tree planted by the flowers of living water. The ground had to be delivered for the Seed to rise up. The blood is our currency, our coin, and that crimson stain is our dollar bill.
