“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” —John 16:33 (NIV)

“God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.” —Max Lucado

“Jesus promised that in this life we would have trouble. Jesus challenges us to know that the way is not always easy. Some days are tough. We can’t pretend otherwise. God is with us. God has a goal in mind for us. God wants us to remember the goal.” Amen!🙏🕊🙌 (michaelwilson@quotesthoughtsrandom.wordpress.com)

Good Morning! Happy Thursday. Friend, God bless you today and always. Amen!🙏

The Exorcist

When I was young, unbridled, and careless with my mind and what goes in it, I made the foolish mistake of watching horror movies. There was something that drew me into them – only to after watching them, having sleepless nights. What was I thinking? Watching those films tempt us to take our eyes off the beauty and faithfulness of Jesus. I remember watching “The Exorcist” years ago and for a very…

I'm mostly talking about Armand and Lestat recently because I'm catching up on the books and TVC Louis so far has been lacking. But don't get me wrong, I LOVE show Louis. It's even harder to fall for book Louis because Jacob set the bat way too damn fucking high. He is 80%, if not the *whole* reason why Louis is so compelling to me.

making Jennette a being born from magic was presumably done so that she had no claim to the throne at all, but Aeternitas being involved in the process of her creation and using his own mana to breathe life into her would make him her father in the broad sense of the word and this would put her in the line of succession before Athy, Claude and even Anastacius.

And if Obelia considers beings of magic real and deserving of rights, which old Obelia must have because making an attempt on a divine beast, was an attempt on the life of the royal owning them as it had direct affects on the owners health when it was harmed, it is possible that Jennette might have been viewed as a part of Aeternitas. Her claim equal to his because he split his mana with her. We might even be having a ship of theseus dilemma where Jennette is more Aeternitas and Anastacius than they are because the repeated resurrections changed their essence fundamentally, and even though born tainted her, she is purer than them, because she led a righteous life.

Over and above that royals used a religious doctrine of political legitimacy, which entails the belief that certain people are either descended from gods or chosen by gods to rule. Jennette's creation by someone whose family claims to be descended from the gods would parallel the creation of humankind by god itself. Obelia calling into question her legitimacy and denying her right to exist, could be considered blasphemy against the gods and a condemnation of their own race.

a quick fix to this scene.

yall are gonna annoy me to death with your weird Catholic Laura Lee fixation.

Listen. As a New Jersey Catholic(TM) raised around other NJ Catholics, quite a few of them WAAAAY more pious than myself, Laura Lee is not our tribe. She never so much as makes the sign of the cross for fuck's sake. BUT

You know who is Catholic?

Mari.

man just had a weird moment where I was like "I wonder if Jesus ever resented god. The one who sired him with the sole purpose of dying. I wonder how many times he wept as a teenager know what was to come. I wonder if he too realized god's own hubris, how pathetic it was to see all of the future when he created humans. How presumptuous and unnecessary the way he went about it was. I don't like christians get it? Idk

“Now to the God who can do so many awe-inspiring things, immeasurable things, things greater than we ever could ask or imagine through the power at work in us, to Him be all glory in the church and in Jesus the Anointed from this generation to the next, forever and ever. Amen.” —Ephesians 3:20-21 (VOICE)

“Pray Bigger Prayers” By Wendy Richmond:

“The Library of Congress in Washington DC is the largest library in the world. It has over 167 million items in its catalog, over 39 million of which are books. And more books are being written every single day. It’s overwhelming to think of the vast amount of knowledge researched and recorded by great minds throughout history - not to mention the vast amount of literary works that have been written.

Even though there is an incredible amount of knowledge contained within the books in the Library of Congress, some of that knowledge is relatively new. For example, before the discovery of the life-saving antibiotic, penicillin, in 1928, people often died from things like strep throat, stomach ulcers, and tooth abscesses.

God has given humans an immense capacity to think and discover, yet we have barely scratched the surface of knowledge to be obtained. Yet all the knowledge contained in the Library of Congress is like a drop in the ocean compared to an all-knowing God. God is not only all-knowing, he is all-powerful. He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Ephesians 3:20 challenges us to pray bigger prayers. I think that sometimes our prayers are limited by the amount of knowledge that we have, but the Bible says God is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we can ask or think. I can’t help but wonder what could be accomplished in our lives and the lives of those around us if we would begin to pray bigger prayers.” Amen!🙏🕊🙌

*slams hands on desk* paintings of saints staring at their mortal peers with passive aggressive judgement WHEN

enough paintings of saints where they're looking heavenward in ecstatic agony or down with love and mercy on their onlookers as they ascend. we need more paintings where the martyr is looking accusatorily directly at the viewer.
