#jesus life

It’s still Christmas to New Years Week, so Christmas posts still count!! X’D (no I did not forget to post, what are you talking about) Okey dokey, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking this Christmas, so here are some of my thoughts:

When I think of Jesus' life, I often think of Jesus' sacrifice and what He's done for us. Sometimes I fall into the trap of getting that fixed picture in my mind of Jesus in the classic stories, but I don't actually think of Jesus AS a person. Jesus AS a child.

I was reading the part in the Bible where Jesus at 12 years of age, was lost by his parents and then found, even though he really wasn’t lost at all. HE knew exactly where he was. XD

I really wanted to try to put myself more into the picture of seeing what that looked like. How Jesus was a child.

How Jesus grew and played, what he might have thought about the world around him, what kind of interactions he had. Because he was a child, he had an earthly mother and father, he had barefeet that walked and played in the dirt, he had muscles that ached after a day outside. He got hungry, he asked questions, he watched people for their reactions, he learned a trade, he built things, he taught things himself.

He was real. And He is real.

In the business of this year and the past years with their difficulties, I hope you can pause for just a moment and let Christmas seep in (even if it comes a little late). That you’re able to slow down and get a picture in your mind that means something to you, and that you can feel God's love.

Have a great New Years week, everyone! (And I hope you had a great Christmas! X’D)

Unrecorded Series 2: Unrecorded...but proven.

Part 2 of the Unrecorded Series! I hope it resonates with you

The unrecorded life of Jesus was a crucial season for character cultivation. Throughout this period, Jesus accumulated a significant number of experiences, challenges, and interactions all contributing to refine His character and strengthen His commitment to His divine mission. It was a time when His actions were purely motivated by His love for the Father and His compassion for humanity, rather…

Do you see yourself as a leader? I never viewed myself as a leader because I am one to believe in doing everything myself and not following anybody but not insisting on anybody following me. Independence is where you should be following nobody but Jesus Christ

the v's are so funny to me. they own some of the biggest media companies in hell. they're a bunch of upstarts who have the patience of a toddler. only one of them can deal with the others shit at a time like they're playing the worst game of rock paper scissors ever. they call each other pet names. they're hells worst polycule. they're somehow the least and most efficient business partners ever. they're some of the most impulsive people on the cast. they manipulate each other constantly. they're a moth, a tv, and a clown. one of them is shown to be so much worse than the other two. i think they'd kill each other if they were allowed too. they lean on each other so heavily they'd knock over the leaning tower of piza. ive never seen three cunts try so hard in my life.

like what is wrong with them i want to put them in a terrarium and observe them with a magnifying glass.

So much of Garak as a person starts to make sense once you know his childhood was a fucking gothic novel. His main playground was a graveyard and he'd play pretend by perfoming improv eulogies to an imagined audience. For a long time his main touchstone for most important figures from recent history is 'oh yeah I know about that guy my dad buried him. great flower arrangements for that one'. He finds out later his 'parents' are actually a brother and sister who had to get married to avoid the utter shame and social devastation of having a child born out of wedlock, and they live in the basement of his biological father's house. (the madwoman in the attic vs. the tiny elim in the basement.) His biological father calls himself his uncle and locks him in a closet whenever he fails to live up to his insane and unpredictable expectations and everyone just has to act like that's normal and expected, and his will hangs over everything at all times, unseen but always felt keener than anything else. The father who actually raised him grows the world's most beautiful (and as it turns out, most poisonous) orchids and keeps the mask of a god hidden in a box in his work shed. Everyone in the house is choking down secrets like it's the only air they know how to breathe anymore.

What I'm saying is that right from the get-go this guy never had the faintest shot at turning out normal, so I'm glad that by middle age he's found a way to get a bit silly with it as he continues to be deeply deeply not normal about anything ever <3

“They’re going for the twins,” said Zuko. “They’re spreading out around the ice, they know—” and inevitably, like the scratchings on an oracle bone, the image was stuttering into view on their planetside radio map. Around the disrupted frequency of the Siqiniq and Taqqiq’s ice wall, the remnant Fire Nation ships were spreading out, the asteroids that had been fencing them in all scattered by now— “We’re going after them,” said Zuko.
