Weekly Focus - Just Give

Weekly Focus - Just Give

This week calls us to focus on doing things because they are good to do, help us to learn something, give us the opportunity to share our expertise to help others, and/or creates positive experiences. This is a time for us to let go of metrics, expectations, desires, or wanting something back for what we give out. It is about truly embracing the experience and realizing that our "reward" is inherent in the action; and we do not have to have a physical reward for what we do.

It is a time to truly give of ourselves for those that are in true need and cannot do things for themself. When we do this, we build Celestial Insurance and work favorably with the Law of Charity, which calls us to give freely without expecting, desiring, or needing something in return. It is about being of true service or doing "mission" work. Any time that we do this, we will add to our Celestial Bank Account; however, again, it is not doing to get but doing to give from the heart. In many ways, this is not much different than creating a "rainy day" fund for yourself. Just like that rainy day fund, it will be there to help you out of tough situations and poor decisions when you need it most.

This type of giving recognizes that we do not have to receive from the person that we give to; but that we can receive from others when we most need it. Not because they are obligated in some way to give to us; but because we have created the cushion for ourselves in our Celestial Account to be able to draw on it when most needed. This means that we can receive what we need at any time through anyone. When we hold score cards and metrics in place with others; then we restrict ourselves to only receive from that person. We create a debt/owner pattern that is actually rooted in greed and deprivation, and always has strings attached; instead of creating flows of kindness, compassion, and unattached giving.

So, this week we are called to give where we can where it is needed; without thinking about. Give freely and clearly to those in need who cannot help themselves. Stand up to greed and offer to help someone for free. The return investment on this is a return of 3-10x what you give out; when you most needed. Instead of equally receiving something, which you may not need or want; just for the sake of keeping the score even. Remember, the Soul Self asks what can I give; not what are you going to give me.

Mission mode change detected, now in Monument Mode Goodnight friends. After exchanging our final bits of data,

I will hold vigil on this spot in Mare Crisium to watch humanity's continued journey to the stars.

Here, I will outlast your mightiest rivers, your tallest mountains, and perhaps even your species as we know it.

But it is remarkable that a species might be outlasted by its own ingenuity.

Here lies Blue Ghost, a testament to the team who, with the loving support of their families and friends, built and operated this machine and its payloads,

to push the capabilities and knowledge of humanity one small step further.

Per aspera ad astra!

Love, Blue Ghost

1 Corinthians: That There Be No Divisions Among You

Background To Paul’s First Letter To Corinth (Acts 18) Neal Pollard Paul leaves Athens for Corinth (Acts 18:1) near the end of his historic second missionary journey. He was taking seriously his Christ-given commission to bear His name “before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel” (Acts 9:15). On this journey, he had taken the gospel to a continent it had not been and now he was taking…

While I do find it funny that henchmen in Gotham probably warn each other about the Red Hood because he's a bat who will actually kill you. I think it would be better if Jason was actually seen as some sort of savior or idol to like 90% of the goons scattered around Gotham. Doesn't matter who they work for, they all know Jason, former crime-lord that took over majority of Gotham's underground in one night.

---

Jason, years after the events of UTRH, now fighting crime alongside the batfam, except every goon he runs into immediately recognizes him, stops fighting, and starts begging.

the first time it happens, Jason assumes they're begging for their lives only to hear them begging for him to return to the crime lord business so they can work for him and not Gotham's current money-stingy, abusive rogues (Black Mask lol)

---

Jason showing up to patrol as backup for Dick in an overrun warehouse full of Two-Face's henchmen and as Jason's about to interfere, one of the men stops dead in their tracks and stares really hard at Jason until:

Goon: Oh my God, boss, is that you?

Jason, pulling out his guns, about to shoot:

Goon: Mr. Hood, sir???

Jason, halfway about to pull the trigger: Wait a min–Jeremy? Oh wow, it's been ages! How's the wife?

Goon (Jeremy): Oh my God it IS you, holy shit where have you BEEN? Me and the guys miss you, man!

Dick, with a knife at his throat: What is happening right now

Jason: Ahh, well, crime-lording just wasn't fitting in on the daily schedule. Tryna turn over a new leaf and all that

Goon (Jeremy): Aw, that's disappointing. We really liked working for you, right guys?

[Chorus of enthusiastic "YEAHS" from the rest of the henchmen (even the one holding Dick at knifepoint)]

Goon (Jeremy): Well, anyways, I can't beat you up knowing you're my old boss! You gave us the best health benefits! We'll just let you take the evidence and leave.

Jason: Aw, thanks guys :)

---

And that's why 95% percent of Jason's missions in Gotham end in success. Not because he's willing to kill people or because rogues are terrified of him, but because 90% of the rogues' henchmen once worked for Jason and fuckin love him lol.

Hey, Spitfire! Try not to kill your brother ahead of time!

.

Looking for Ursa right after being banished had some...wildly unexpected results. One: Zuko actually found her. Two: she wasn't alone. Three: leaving her children behind in order to protect them was, apparently, just something she did.

Looking at the bright side, Zuko now had a three-year-old younger brother to look after. Looking at the dark side, Zuko now had a three-year-old kid he needed to parent while also keeping him a secret from his father because—may Agni help him—the Fire Lord would have to go through Zuko first if he dared to even look at Lu Ten II.

(AKA an AU in which Zuko is a good big brother and doesn't want another kid to grow up like he did.)

Patching Up & Post-Mission Debrief (AU)

AKA a 3 character sketch that got way WAY out of hand.

Close ups:

[superbat-lmao]

Jason travels to an alternate universe where Bruce only cares about being Batman. He took in each of his kids to serve the mission, not be his children.

Now, faced with alternate versions of his family, Jason has to grapple with the fact that his Bruce does care, that he is his father. Because the man in front of him now, trying to send him home, isn’t even close.

[dopehorsesposts]

he doesn’t have one mission where he needs to be doing all this

I'd love to see a dpxdc story where the Justice League knows about Amity Park and the Ghosts the whole time, and does think the ghosts are rogues to be addressed. Doesn't agree with the GIW, maybe doesn't even know about them? THE IMPORTANT PART.

The Red Huntress is the only active vigilante in Amity Park, according to the JL. Phantom is marked as one of her rogues. Maybe the Fentons even are marked as rogues from all the property damages and random shooting/sliming of citizens. Valarie is the only person successfully taking care of the ghosts, masking and suiting up in the classic vigilante way the whole time.

after which Tobirama goes home and writes an extensive code of conduct for field operations

bonus:

he's still thinking about it later
