I like to think that when Luke and Anakin experienced rain for the first time they just stood out in it for as long as they could.

Little 9 year old anakin standing out by the steps of the temple as the light mist grows to a downpour, qui-gon watching from just inside to stay dry. He brings him back inside after a bit, not wanting to be responsible for letting anakin get sick so soon after bring him to the temple.

19 year old luke experiencing a days long thunderstorm shortly after arriving on yavin 4. The first day of the storm he dissappears and no one can find him for a while. Leia ends ups finding him a while later outside the base, hidden away, letting himself realize everything that has happened in such a short time. In the following days he can be found out it the rain whenever he's able to sneak away.

The Madonna of Mercy Sheltering a Group of Nuns, by Sano di Pietro, 1440s.

Over the centuries, the Church has always looked to Mary as the summa contemplatrix. From the Annunciation to the Resurrection, through the pilgrimage of faith that reached its climax at the foot of the Cross, Mary persevered in contemplation of the mystery dwelling within her. In Mary, we glimpse the mystical journey of the consecrated person, grounded in a humble wisdom that savours the mystery of the ultimate fulfillment. Following Mary's example, the contemplative is a person centred in God and for whom God is the unum necessarium (cf. Lk 10:42), in comparison with which all else is seen from a different perspective, because seen through new eyes. [...] Persevere, then, in profound communion with the Church so that in Her midst you may become a living continuation of the mystery of Mary, Virgin, Bride, and Mother, who welcomes and treasures the Word in order to give it back to the world. Thus you will help to bring Christ to birth and increase in the hearts of men and women who, often unconsciously, are thirsting for the One who is the "Way, the Truth, and the Life" (Jn 14:6). Like Mary, you too strive to be a "stairway" by which God descends to encounter humanity, and humanity ascends to encounter God and contemplate His Face in the Face of Christ.

Pope Francis (Vultum Dei quaerere, §10, 37)

It seemed that in the years since my schooling at the Palace, I had become a terrible student.

Mara has her first official lesson with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. It goes about as well as one might expect... Lightsabers Are Always Loaded: Chapter 19

Picture: Little Monk Pretzels by sakuradapyon | via loftyangel

The history of the soft pretzel goes back over 1400 years, initially created by Italian Monks as an egg-free bread people could still eat during Lent. Pretzels gained popularity across Europe, but were especially ``adored'' in Germany, according to CBS New York.

The Secret Behind The Flavor Of Commercial Soft Pretzels Is Actually Lye | Séamus Gregan 2023-01-03

There's an unspoken rule on the foodie internet that the more iconic a regional baked good, the more desperately people try to unpick its secrets. Whether it's us searching for the reason French baguettes are so good, The Guardian exploring how New York bagels took over the UK, or PokPok founder Andy Ricker trying to recreate Saigon-style Bánh mì for the Los Angeles Times — there's something about geo-locked bread products that compels people to put their baking science hats on and start experimenting. Things are no different regarding the most iconic bread of the German-speaking world — the pretzel.

Bánh mì: is a short baguette with thin, crisp crust and a soft, airy texture. It is often split lengthwise and filled with meat and savory ingredients like a submarine sandwich and served as a meal, called bánh mì thịt. [This is the reason we needed to visit Vancouver so often, it is sandwich royalty! ] A typical Vietnamese roll or sandwich is a fusion of meats and vegetables from native Vietnamese cuisine such as chả lụa (Vietnamese sausage), coriander (cilantro), cucumber, pickled carrots, and pickled daikon combined with condiments from French cuisine such as pâté, along with red chili and mayonnaise. However, a variety of popular fillings are used, like xá xíu (Chinese barbecued pork), xíu mại Vietnamese minced pork, and nem nướng grilled pork sausage, to even ice cream which are more of a dessert. In Vietnam, bread rolls and sandwiches are typically eaten for breakfast, or as a snack. Historic Account of Origin The baguette was introduced to Vietnam by the French in the mid-19th century, during the Nguyễn dynasty, and became a staple food by the early 20th century. In the 1950s, a distinctly Vietnamese style of sandwich developed in Saigon, becoming a popular street food, also known as bánh mì Sài Gòn ('Saigon sandwich' or 'Saigon-style bánh mì'). Following the Vietnam War, overseas Vietnamese popularized the bánh mì sandwich in countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States. In these countries, they are commonly sold in Asian bakeries. The word bánh mì, meaning "bread", is attested in Vietnamese as early as the 1830s, in Jean-Louis Taberd's dictionary Dictionarium Latino-Annamiticum. The French introduced Vietnam to the baguette, along with other baked goods such as pâté chaud, in the 1860s, at the start of their imperialism in Vietnam. Nguyễn Đình Chiểu mentions the baguette in his 1861 poem "Văn tế nghĩa sĩ Cần Giuộc". Due to the price of imported wheat at the time, French baguettes & sandwiches were considered a luxury. During World War I, an influx of French soldiers & supplies arrived. At the same time, disruptions of wheat imports led bakers to begin mixing in inexpensive rice flour (which also made the bread fluffier). As a result, it became possible for ordinary Vietnamese to enjoy French staples such as bread. Many shops baked twice a day, because bread tends to go stale quickly in the hot, humid climate of Vietnam. Baguettes were mainly eaten for breakfast with some butter and sugar. Until the 1950s, sandwiches hewed closely to French tastes, typically a jambon-beurre moistened with a mayonnaise or liver pâté spread. The 1954 Partition of Vietnam sent over a million migrants from North Vietnam to South Vietnam, transforming Saigon's local cuisine. Among the migrants were Lê Minh Ngọc and Nguyễn Thị Tịnh, who opened a small bakery named Hòa Mã in District 3. In 1958, Hòa Mã became one of the first shops to sell bánh mì thịt. Around this time, another migrant from the North began selling chả sandwiches from a basket on a mobylette, and a stand in Gia Định Province (present-day Phú Nhuận District) began selling phá lấu sandwiches. Some shops stuffed sandwiches with inexpensive Cheddar cheese, which came from French food aid that migrants from the North had rejected. Vietnamese communities in France also began selling bánh mì.

If You are Wearing Out Bibles

If you are wearing out Bibles, praise God for your healthy soul. If you are NOT wearing out Bibles, remember that “we live by every word that issues from the mouth of God.” (cf.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda
