Close encounter with a White Necked Heron. The neck markings indicate that it's in the non-breeding season. I was shooting with a 600mm lens and it kept flying within the minimum focal distance, 3 meters, and then turning away. Of 20 high speed shots, these are the only two that turned out. Mt. Isa.

Another option for why depends on how wet the ground got before the hurricane passed over it.
It's really rare, but there can be a brown ocean effect, where due to moisture in the ground a cyclone/hurricane can sustain itself, or even become stronger, over wet ground. Especially if heat is released.
It may not be why this happened for hurricane Helene. I'm not a meterologist, or someone who knows a lot about this. But it's likely to get more common for tropical/ semi tropical areas to 1. Have moisture in the ground during hurricane/cyclone/typhoon season, and 2. Get hotter during hurricane/cyclone/typhoon season.
So stronger cyclones hurricane and typhoons are going to be a common experience, probably gonna go more often above cancer and below capricorn due to climate change, and they're probably gonna get further in land before they fizzle out.
If you don't know how to survive a hurricane/cyclone, there are resources.
Mom is showing me drone footage of the damage in Western North Carolina and Im looking over my photos of the trip we took 3 years ago to the places where Mamaw grew up, and it's surreal. The road up to our cabin was destroyed in a landslide. The road along the creek where we drove to visit the old cemetery has been washed away, pavement peeled up and scattered in pieces throughout the creek bed or completely gone. In some of the footage you can barely tell where the road was. She sent me pictures of a cute little shop we visited with all kinds of art from local crafters and artists and the building is inundated in wreckage and mud.
Apparently there's now a widespread conspiracy that the government is controlling the weather for some nefarious purpose. It is so undeniable that this weather is so far beyond what was normal or possible before, that this is the only other explanation if you are a climate change denier.
I'm afraid of Hurricane Milton, another devastating hurricane just a couple weeks after the deadliest USA hurricane since Katrina is terrifying
#summerly talks#i have a vested interest in this because i live above capricorn and we get cyclones here#it'l be fucking crazy if one of them legit gets to mt isa in my lifetime- even YAZI didn't get to mt isa#it went back to being a low on the way there

Ride 791: Replacing the lead!!
Pag 1
1: In the southern part of Fukuoka Prefecture, located at the border with Ooita Prefecture, there's Mt. Hiko, consisting of three peaks, that reaches the altitude of 1200m
2: It has a long history and it's long been worshipped as a training ground for monks
3: Currently, a slope car leading to Mt. Hiko's shrines has been constructed, and a lot of tourists go there to see the autumn leaves' color, the winter's silver frost, and for mountain climbing
4: The main shrine is built on top of Mt. Hiko's sacred mountain, Nakadake
5: Halfway up, passing through the west side, as the altitude increases, there's the winding highway number 500
Pag 2
1: The stage for the mountain stage of the Inter High's first day
Pag 3
1: Kumamoto Daichi is still at the top!! The local team from Kyushu!!
Goo!!
2: He passed the 3km left to the finish line point!!
I see figures following Kumadai's Fujiwara....
4: It's two people!!
Two people!?
Pag 4
1: It's Manami and Mountain King!!
Pag 5
1: I see his back!! One person
Is he the lead!?
2: So it seems!!
3: Two people!! Dammit, they really did catch up!!
So the voices in the audience I heard saying that Onoda and Manami were approaching were true!!
4: Kumadai!! Bad news coming from behind!! Raise your pace!!
5: But I won't lose!! I'm very calm!!
My condition has never been this good!!
Pag 6
1: Alright, once we pass that guy it'll become”the winner will get the mountain prize”!!
3: The one who wins will get the “mountain prize”!! In a race it's better to have some kind of prize
Suddenly...
Pag 7
1: I'm getting fired up!!
3: Okay!! Good!!
Pag 8
1: Woah!!
He's accelerating again!!
2: His concentration is rising again!!
4: His legs are turning more than before!!
5: I can see it from behind, so I get it well
6: You probably don't understand it yourself, but right now you're pedaling with an amazing efficiency of power transmission
Amazing
7: It's like he's 100% synchronized with his bike!!
Really... you
Pag 9
1: He has the power of turning his joy into concentration!!
2: They're already approaching!!
Pag 10
1: I'm sorry but I'll surpass you!!
2: No doubt!!
3: Really... this guy is so strange
4: Last year, on the second day's mountain, after we were passed by Kyofuhi, he chased after them
5: Since we're both running in the same Inter High, this year, before the start I called out to him
I wanted to greet you
I'm Kumadai's Fujiwara. This will be our last Inter High together
Pag 11
1: Wh-wh-wh- what is it!?
He's super nervous!!
2: Are you okay!? Take a deep breath
If you have any problems, you can call anyone from Kumadai, our numbers are in the 60s
Th- ye-
3: Th- thank you so much. Ah... you ran last year with Kumadai's Isa-san – Masa-san...?
That's right, you remember!! I'm Fujiwara Masayuki!!
4: I became captain, too
5: Ahh, is that so? Congratulations!!
No wait, you don't have to bow your head like that
We should do that to each other
6: Such an extremely small and humble guy...
7: That's always the first impression of Onoda...
Thank you for coming here
8: But every year, once he gets on his bike and climbs a mountain, this guy...
Pag 12
1: he feels overwhelmingly big when he approaches!!
Pag 13
1: I don't understand him
And also, he's always...
2: Thank you very much for this morning
Thanks to you, I calmed down a little!!
3: He's so polite...!!
4: I can't help but support him
Do your best Onoda
5: Yes!!
Pag 14
2: Any time now, huh?
3: I guess so
4: Onoda-kun will be reaching the race's climax
5: It's about time they passed the other climbers and started their race
Pag 15
1: I wonder if he's having fun
Hm, yeah, since he was looking forward to it
2: Even though I guess those two are probably thinking of the “mountain prize”as nothing more than a “juice” to buy the other as a treat if they lose
3: Kakaka
That sounds super fun!!
4: Those two
5: In the past two Inter Highs they were both times burdened with heavy races
8: If they can run with a smile, then that's enough
… yeah
Pag 16
1: We're excited too!!
2: Manami-kun moved ahead!!
3: Sakamichi-kun!!
Pag 17
1: 2km left until the mountain stage finish line!!
3: The wind... is blowing from the west
Just ahead of here
4: the trees become lower
5: and it turns back in a U-shape
Pag 18
1: That'll be the decisive moment!!
2: I'll fly!! Sakamichi-kun!!
Pag 19
3: It seems like we'll see them appear here at the mountain gate anytime now
There are currently two people in the lead, and they're passing the 2km point!!
So 2km left, huh
They'll come soon
I can't wait
Pag 20
1: I said it before already, but
2: “History” needs “someone who witnesses it”!!

Dito na lang ako mag-word vomit, I guess.
Kakauwi ko lang galing UPD. Naglakad-lakad at kaunting jogging lang kahit ansakit-sakit na ng katawan. Sa pagiging maximizer, nabigla ang katawan sa pag-g-gym. Pero sulit naman 'yung mga pinaggagagawa at effort ko so far, saka happy naman din ako na nakalakad-lakad ako today.
Walang makausap kasi hindi ko alam, baka walang bandwidth 'yung mga tao. Baka matrigger pa sila or anupaman. Disappointing din ang search for new friends—mukhang wholesome pero hookup pala ang nais. Mas nakakabwisit kasi pinag-aksayahan pa ng effort, hindi na lang agad ipakita ang tunay na kulay. Nakakaumay. Hahahaha. Saan kaya makakahanap ng matinong friends?
Okay naman mga tao sa gym pero ayaw ko rin silang istorbohin. Virtual buddies lang. Parang sa tumblr. Alam lang naming nag-eexist ang isa't isa.
Nabobore nanaman ako sa work. Feeling ko tapos na akong mag-"play" ng role. Nataon pa nga na dumating 'yung offer na magbarko. Kaso ang laking jump kasi, from my cushy comfy daily life, andito 'yung potential to earn more pero anlaki rin ng risk.
Hindi naman ako sobrang sobrang bothered pero dahil pawala na ako sa kalendaryo eh gusto ko nang dumami ang sources ng income. Sabi, hindi naman din daw gano'n kalaki ang kitaan dun sa iniisip kong paupahan (dahil ano pa ba ang hindi sobrang sobrang need i-manage hands on) and malaki rin ang capital. Ang isyu ko eh since nagwowork ako, hindi ko nga rin kayang tutukan so baka masayang lang pag nauwi sa wala.
Feeling ko, g na ako mag-explore ng new horizons sa work or baka naman gaya ng sabi ng isang recruiter, wala raw direksyon 'yung CV ko. Hahahaha.
Recently, nagpapahinga lang talaga ako saka nagtitingin ng mga tour or hike. Mt. Pulag, 'yung Avatar thing, Puning, at kung ano pa man ang mayroon. Hindi na ako as bothered compared dati na I have no one to share these things, experiences, and memories with. Ganu'n lang talaga ang life.
Lecheng hookup 'yan at mga kalaswaan, sana magkatagpuan na lang 'yung mga pare-parehas ng hinahanap at sana lubayan na nila 'yung mga kagaya kong wala namang interest.

We meet again, Bohol!
As beautiful as the Philippines is, many destinations offer mostly sand and surf. But not Bohol. This province is known for unique attractions that you can’t find anywhere else in the Philippines.
Sure, other islands in the Philippines are worth recommending, too, but most boast one or two of the following — white beaches, incredible sites, diverse wildlife, interesting history. Bohol has them all. From wild encounters with dolphins and tarsiers to the incomparable views of the Chocolate Hills, Bohol is a province that is easy to promote. It doesn’t need much sales talk.
We stayed at Coastal View in Panglao, then we transferred to On Board Beach Hostel and Resort for some quiet alone time near the beach. The wedding was at South Palms Resort, and I can attest that this is probably the most exquisite hotel here, next to Bohol Beach Club.
I was tasked with the daunting task of speaking in front of everyone. I wasn't really prepared to cry, so I let the "funny" me take over. Let me share to you guys my speech during the wedding.
"Kamusta naman ang lahat? Nakainom na ba? Kung Hindi pa, ito na yung time. Haha. For everyone's reference, I'm jasfher ako yung favorite friend ng groom and bride. Jk. Haha.
Nung sinabi nila na magssppeech ako, siyempre napressure ako kasi hello 'di ko naman sila close? Ano sasabihin ko dito? Jk. Haha
Okay kidding aside, sige maybe I'll just start ho I met the bride and the groom. Tagalog yung speech ko so pasensya na. To our foreigner friends, welcome to the Philippines. Haha.
Si brux and karla orgmates ko from UP travel society. Hindi ko din alam paano nabuo yung barkadahan namin, pero I guess we all just clicked and nagkakaayaan na lang kumain, gumala, tumambay ganyan, and the rest was history. So kwentuhan ko na lang kayo muna ng mga misadventures namin para may pulot naman kayo sa speech ko. Haha.
Sa mga travel namin, si karla isa sa mga main organizer, tapos si brux ang aming walking calculator. Sa tamad naming magcompute, si brux na bahala sa hatian, feel namin nagogoyo kami minsan, pero okay lang kasi wala naman kami nung math skills niya. Haha.
Nung nasa adventurous era pa kami, ang bonding namin ay umakyat ng bundok. Nagbuwis buhay trip kami sa Mt. pamitinan, tapos nagpapicture sa crater ng Taal, nakiparty sa Malasimbo sa Puerto Galera with hindi namin kilala, nagbackpacking kami 8 days sa Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand na natutulog sa bus dala bagahe, kumain ng scorpion at tarantula, kumain ng happy pizza, nagtemple hopping sa Angkor Wat at sa mga temples sa Thailand, tapos nag 8 days din kami sa Bali, Indonesia ewan ko din paano namin napupull off pero napakadami naming pinupuntahan tapos wala ako sa organizing committee so ang ambag ko talaga ay chumika at magpicture. Haha.
pero sa mga local travel namin, dalawa yung pinaka favorite ko: yung 1) Siargao at yung 2) South cotabato. Yung siargao kasi grabe talaga yun gabi-gabi kami lasing as in tumatakbo kami nina karla sa kalsada tapos hinahabol kami nina brux. Haha. Dun ko din naranasan maghanap ng GoPro sa dagat ng nakaflashlight lang kasi nalaglag nung nagsurfing kami. Grabe talaga yun. Nung South Cotabato naman, natry namin yung highest zipline in the South East Asia, may nadaanan kaming apat na waterfalls ganun kataas. Tapos ang dami naming change costume nag T'boli traditional costume kami, tapos nag abaya and hijab kami nung pumunta kaming Grand Mosque. Very dubai ganon. Haha.
Favorite memory ko sa kanila ay every travel namin, nagsusulatan sila ng postcards. Sabi ko grabe couple goals. Indeed a matchmake in heaven walang distance distance. They will really make way to communicate, and show their love for each other. The yin to each other's yang.
So medyo ang haba na no? haha so summary and summary? Haha. Nakita ko silang nag grow, both literally and figuratively. As in kung may masasabi akong couple na tested by time and distance ay sila talaga iyon. Proud na proud ako tbh na nakakakilala ako ng mga taong kasing galing niyo. sobrang supportive niyong friends, sweet, thoughtful, funny, smart, witty, amazing lahat na. In between those laughters, I know genuine love is there. Sobrang happy ko na nagkatuluyan kayo, and from day 1, alam kong kayo na talaga. I know madaming taon taon pa tayong pagsasamahan, at andito lang kami para sa inyo. Congratulations, Karla and Brux, and i only hope the best for you both. Mahal na mahal ko kayo 💕
Cheers to the brucals!" Probably the best and most heartfelt wedding I've been to. Cryfest. Literally shed buckets of tears. So this is how it feels like to see your close friends get married. I was so lucky to have witnessed this momentous event in our barkada (god and tanda na namin haha)

May 26, 2024 | Mt. Batulao - Nasugbu, Batangas
We made it!
Hanggang ngayon parang di parin ako makapaniwala kung paano ako nakaakyat at nakababa ng bundok na 'to despite sa weather.
First time ko mag commute pa Manila mag-isa since doon ang pickup point at dito palang nagdadalawang isip na ako kung itutuloy ko pa. I know malayo ang pickup point sa lugar ko pero pinush ko nalang din. Main plan ko talaga, Dau-Cubao terminal then mag grab or angkas/joyride nalang to Greenfield. Mabuti nalang at pinapasabay na ako ni Kuya Jarvs (nakasama ko sa prev hike) from Cubao terminal tas nag MRT papuntang Greenfield at nakatipid pa.
While naghihintay kami dun sa food truck fest, may pa live band or basta accoustic na sobrang napapa chill yung lugar at sobrang natuwa na naman ako tas andami ding food. Then after isang oras ata, biglang may fireworks sa kabila. Hindi ko alam kung yun ba yung sa pyromusical na balak ko din sana puntahan na nagbalak bumili ticket kasi 11pm pa pickup time so mahaba yung paghihintay ko. Para sana masulit yung pag cocommute ko sa Manila hahaha. Pero hindi ko na tinuloy kasi baka matraffic ako at di makabalik ng 11pm sa pickup point. Kaya nung may live band tas fireworks narin, inisip ko nalang if ma cancel man yung hike namin, okay na ako magstay muna dito. Di na rin ako uuwi ng Pampanga na malungkot.
Medyo ambon lang naman the entire night sa Manila hanggang sa pag byahe na at okay naman daw ang weather sa Batangas. Around 4:30am ata kami nag start na ng trekking at medyo umaambon lang. Bumili na ako ng raincoat at gloves sa jump off para ready na. Wala akong headlamp so nakikisingit nalang talaga ako sa mga may flashlight hanggang sa di ko namalayan nauuna na pala ako sa kanila, sumusunod na ako sa tour guide. Hahaha
Noong nasa bundok na talaga kami, as in parang zero visibility at puro fog lang nakikita tapos mahangin lang ng konte. Noong nasa kalagitnaan na, medyo kitang kita na talaga yung fog kapag titingin ka sa baba hanggang sa'min. Sobrang na amaze lang ako dahil kakaiba 'to eh, ang gandang tignan, napapa wow parin talaga ako. Hanggang sa medyo napapalakas na yung hangin dahil pataas na rin kami ng pataas sa bundok. There's a time na talagang nag stop ako sa trail dahil bangin talaga tapos parang hindi ko mabalance sarili ko sa hangin. If tutuloy ko lakad, baka malaglag na ako. So nung kumalma na yung hangin, tuloy na.
Bale may 12 peaks yung Mt. Batulao at start ata ng peak 8 or 10, andun na yung gagapang kana sa medyo mabato, paakyat na talaga, tapos puro lubid na aalalay paakyat lalo na nung malapit na sa summit. Di ko na talaga maisipang mag cellphone, mag picture/video and all dahil as in focus ako sa trail. Yung vid na umaakyat uploaded here ay galing kay beb Riana. Sya din nagpilit sakin na magpicture kami nung pababa na at naka chikahan ko sya since solo joiner din pala sya.
Around 7am or so nasa summit na kami at solid bigla yung lakas ng hangin at buhos ng ulan. Although pabugso bugso yung ulan pero yung hangin tapos sobrang foggy parin ay solid talaga. Hinintay nalang namin yung iba maka akyat tapos group picture tas bumaba na rin. Sa pagbaba doon na talaga sobrang maulan tapos ang hirap sa part ko na nagsasalamin dahil basang basa at hirap na ako makakita. Kung tatanggalin ko naman, mas lalo akong mahirapan. Hahaha. Pero push parin talaga. Sobrang dulas na nung pababa namin at dun na ako talaga nadulas sa may lubid na part.
Nag side trip lang kami sa Tagaytay for early lunch at deserve na deserve namin ng bulalo after hike. Hahahaha sobrang pawi na yung pagod. Mga 3:30pm nakabalik na ng Manila so nag book nalang ako ng grab pa Cubao terminal since umuulan na rin. Another 2+ hours byahe pa hanggang makauwi pero noong nakita ko na yung singnage na Dau terminal, hayyyy ang saya dahil sa wakas ito na. Hahahaha. Ikaw parin ang aking pahinga Pampanga after sa nakakapagod na pahinga! 😆
Sobrang thankful ako sa experience na 'to dahil sobrang nag enjoy parin ako. Yung challenges talaga kasi na akala ko di ko kaya lagpasan ay nagawa ko. Kung noong sa Benguet hike ako nasabi ko ay "Mas masakit pa pala 'to sa breakup", kahapon naman ang nasabi ko while pababa kami ay "Feeling ko after neto, parang kayang kaya ko na lagpasan lahat ng dadating na problema". ✨

So here is Part 1 of me summarising the issues in the QLD state election that's literally tomorrow. In Part 1 we rank where the parties stand on Abortion rights.
First the status quo. Abortion is legal in Queensland & is treated as a medical issue rather than a criminal issue. It can be acquired, no questions asked, up to 22 weeks into a pregnancy. After 22 weeks, you need the approval of two licensed medical practitioners. Safe zones of 150 metres exist around providers to prevent protesters from hassling staff, clients or families of clients.
However, despite this legal right, in practice, it's difficult to obtain an abortion in rural/regional areas. Pregnant individuals often need to travel great distances & spend money they may not have on accommodation & fuel, to get access to the nearest provider. Someone in Mt. Isa might need to travel to either Emerald (a 12 hour car trip or 4 & a half hour plane trip) or Cairns (12 & a half hour car ride or 2 hour plane trip) to get access to a provider. A person in Charleville would need to travel over 5 & a half hours to Emerald or 8 hours to Gladstone/Rockhampton. If you live in Weipa, hope you can afford the 9 & a half hour car ride or 1 & a half hour plane trip to Cairns. Mt Isa should be big enough for it's own clinic. Charleville is smaller, but you could place a provider in Roma, which is only 3 hours away rather than 8 hours. Note that I only listed one-way trips, so realistically, you need to double all travel times listed as people need to get back home.
For anyone amazed by the time listed to travel places. This is normal in QLD. Everything is far away. Our state is big. A person travelling from Weipa to Cairns is going southeast while someone going from Mt Isa to Cairns is going north-east.
A trip from Weipa to Brisbane is 29 hours driving assuming no breaks (please don't try that). There's a train connecting Mt Isa to Brisbane that takes 28 hours for those unwilling to drive a bit over 20 hours (assuming no breaks). Realistically, almost everyone travelling from Weipa, Cairns, Mt Isa, Birdsville or even Mackay to Brisbane is taking a plane unless they're a Gray nomad.
Part 1 - Abortion
So this is ranked from worse to best
Worse = KAP (Katter's Australia Party), Family First.
These two parties both openly want to recriminalise abortion. Yes, that "r" isn't a typo. The KAP & Family First have it in their party platforms that they both seek to wind back the clock & make it a crime again.
I assume they aren't thinking of merely winding back to 2017, when abortion was technically in the criminal code, but it wasn't enforced. More likely they want to turn back to the 1970s-1980s where under Joh Bjelke-Petersen the criminal provisions that were only technically repealed in 2018 were actually enforced.
Of these two, the KAP are by far the bigger threat. They have 4 MPs, none of whom are likely to lose their seats, with an outside chance of gaining a fifth seat. Meanwhile, Family First only matter for preference flows (we have preferential voting here, so voting for parties that can't win a seat in their own right isn't the waste of time it would be in the USA).
Moreover, the KAP have announced that they will put up a private member's bill to recriminalise abortion immediately after the new parliament is sworn in. Have I mentioned all the KAP MPs are cisgender men. I should mention that.
Team Sneaky = LNP
The likely victors of tomorrow's election. The talk is about if the ALP can ring-fence Brisbane or not. No one is pretending that the towns of Cairns (3 seats) , Townsville (4 seats), Gladstone, Mackay, Rockhampton or Harvey Bay (each of these is 1 seat) are staying in the ALP fold. As the LNP are the likely victors of all but Rockhampton (where Independent Margaret Strelow has a good shot), they will form government. Therefore, the LNP will likely decide abortion access insurance state for the next 4 years.
The LNP have gone for plausible deniability by stating that they won't introduce a bill to recriminalise abortion. However, that doesn't matter as we know the KAP is introducing that bill instead. What they have is a so-called "conscious vote" on abortion.
It's a fact that 93% of LNP members voted against legalisation in 2018. That 93% includes the current Opposition Leader, David Crisafulli. We also know that quite a few of the new candidates in winnable seats are anti-choice. A conscious vote in an LNP majority government means that even if 1-3 members vote to keep the existing laws, the 4 KAP members will be enough to counter that & guarantee that abortion is recriminalised.
The only reason Crisafulli is even trying for plausible deniability is because he knows most voters are pro-choice. Support for abortion rights has remained stable at 75-80% of the population for my entire lifetime. There's a reason enforcement ended well before the official decriminalisation in 2018. It would be difficult to find a jury
Status Quo = ALP
So this is where our miracle shot happens & somehow the polls are wrong & the current government is maintained.
Now the status quo is still flawed. I want better. Abortion accessibility shouldn't depend on where in the state you live. A poor person in the regions shouldn't have fewer options than someone in the SEQ or Townsville (even Mackay doesn't have an abortion clinic). But when compared to a prospective recriminalisation, it's necessary to defend what we got now & ask for better afterwards.
Improved Access = AJP & Greens
Both of them promise to expand access. That's the optimal outcome, so we list it here.
I will probably not get around to releasing Parts 2 & 3 before the vote counting begins, so let's say this now. I was an overall ALP/AJP voter. But we have to number all the options in our system so the rest of the ticket was harm minimising. Cannabis Party don't particularly appeal to me, but it's also not crossing any of my political boundaries, so they got 3rd. Then came the jerk parties. As disgusting as the Greens antisemitism is, the LNP are a threat to both abortion rights & trans rights, so I prioritised my own survival (I'm a transwoman) & the survival of my cis female friends & cousins in this state. That puts Greens 4th & LNP 5th. The KAP don't have a candidate where I live, so I didn't have to rate them. Family First are Christian extremists who hate trans people & abortion rights & want to make the place go under fundamentalist Christian leadership. They got 6th, because somehow, One Nation still exists, which is even worse. One Nation is a cesspool of racism & manosphere garbage & are the biggest threat to my Mum's entire side of the family.

Is there anywhere in Australia that is ACTUALLY worth doing a roadtrip in?
I did Barkley tablelands to Mt Isa and then on Townsville and I swear the scenery changed from Bush to dry shrubs and that was fucking IT.
Not a single fucking thing to look at.
Over 17 hours of driving. Didn't even see a kangaroo or anything

Jesus Is Your Lawyer
“We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” 1Jn 2:1 NAS
On those days when you wonder how God could love you, read these words: “If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” When your thoughts sink to gutter level and your actions are anything but Christlike, remind yourself: “He lives forever to intercede with God on [our] behalf” (Heb 7v25 NLT). It works like this: When God’s law declares you guilty, Jesus steps in and says, “Father, I have this person covered; they are trusting in my shed blood, and My righteousness has been transferred to them.”
Try to picture this: In the Old Testament tabernacle, the blood of a lamb was poured on top of the mercy seat, and the ark of the covenant that contained the broken law—the record of our guilt—was placed underneath it. So, the only way God could see the broken law—was through the blood. And it’s the same today!
If you’re wondering why God continues to love, accept, and bless you, it’s because Jesus is your lawyer! Notice: (1) He is fully qualified to represent you. “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Mt 3v17). (2) He has never lost a case. “He is…able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him” (Heb 7v25 NKJV). (3) He offers His services freely. “Without money and without price” (Isa 55:1).
The Bible says, “Let us…approach God’s throne of grace with confidence…that we may receive mercy and…grace to help us in our time of need” (Heb 4v16 NIV). Jesus is your lawyer, so you can come to God with confidence today.
