They say you can’t let her outrun you at any cost! If you lose a race against Turbo Granny, you’ll be cursed!

Dan Da Dan E1

[pratchettquotes]

As Granny and Oats lurched from mud slough to bog, Oats reflected on the story in the Book of Om--the story, really--about the prophet Brutha and his journey with Om across the burning desert, which had ended up changing Omnianism forever. It had replaced swords with sermons, which at least caused fewer deaths except in the case of the really very long ones, and had broken the Church into a thousand pieces which had then started arguing with one another and finally turned out Oats, who argued with himself.

Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

code switching is fun, sometimes you slip into the tone of voice you use at work and your friends give you shit for it. other times you talk to someone like you talk to your pet and they start stuttering about it

the more and more you do it, the more you realize how fun it is to treat them that way and suddenly you've turned an otherwise upstanding person into your dog

hell if you push it even further, you get to watch them get more worked up the lower you bring your voice, those one word commands delivered meticulously and yet so sweetly.

crazy how that happens huh?

It also includes excerpts from De animalibus, attributed to Aristotle, and Isidore's Etymologies. It was written in England, perhaps at the Dominican Convent in Oxford, ca. 1250.

i also think its funny that fo4, you are looking for your son. the only time the game seems to give you hope that youll find him is with kellog and then your told hes in the institute.

while in 3, even if you dont assume your dad is in megaton, you have to track him to 3dog, then rivet city, then jefferson memorial, before finding him at vault 112.

fnv does a similar thing, tracking benny through multiple towns and settlements, while not requiring you to do it, it benefits yoy if you do (ie: being able to convince swank about him)

“I will go anywhere with you, Mrs. Cadwallader,” Celia had said; “but I don’t like funerals.” “Oh, my dear, when you have a clergyman in your family you must accommodate your tastes: I did that very early. When I married Humphrey I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I couldn’t have the end without them.”

George Eliot, "Middlemarch"

Do you know any good preachers of a more progressive/accepting persuasion who post their sermons/homilies online? The folks I used to listen to I very strongly disagree with on many things now *shrugs*

Sorry for the delay in answering!

I have an old masterpost of progressive church services & sermons, I imagine some of the links are broken now but that's a starting place!

I imagine others have great recs for you — followers?

[worshipbeginsontheknees]

I would gladly kneel at your feet

To know the way reverence feels

To taste scripture on my tongue

As you deliver a most fervent sermon

Feel my words around you

Perhaps today they could be enough

To find your favor in full

Why are you so screwed up?

Because you believed somebody. Because you believed it when somebody told you how it should be. Whether it's life, jobs, love, race and gender and ability and sanity and success and strength and looks and other identities. And because a bunch of other fools also believed, and continue to believe that.

And there's no use blaming them, just moaning about whoever you think are the baddies unless you're ready to periodically shake up, reshuffle and reconstruct all of those stories yourself. How can you expect anyone, or anything, to change unless you change your mind yourself, act as an example of

"This, too, is how a human being can be"?

It begins with you. 

And it never stops, either.

And no, it's not just the externals. Externals are just stories themselves. And people mistake them for everything. When what you've got to change is the meanings. Especially in the hardest way: by expanding the meaning of your Thing. Because that adds humanity; divisions wall people off from one another.

Early Start in Preaching: Charles H. Spurgeon was born on June 19, 1834, in Kelvedon, Essex, England. He began preaching at a very young age and, at 19, became the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London, which later became the Metropolitan Tabernacle.

Influential Baptist Preacher: Spurgeon is often referred to as the "Prince of Preachers." His eloquence, deep theological insights, and charismatic preaching style drew large congregations. Despite being a Baptist, his influence extended across denominational lines.

Prolific Author: Besides his preaching, Spurgeon was a prolific author. He wrote numerous sermons, articles, and books. One of his most famous works is "The Treasury of David," a commentary on the Book of Psalms. His writings continue to be widely read and studied.

Founding of the Pastors' College: Spurgeon founded the Pastors' College in London in 1856 to train ministers. He was deeply committed to equipping the next generation of preachers and leaders for effective ministry. The college aimed to provide practical training for pastors.

Controversies and Theological Legacy: Spurgeon was involved in various controversies during his lifetime, including the Downgrade Controversy, where he expressed concerns about the perceived theological drift in some Baptist circles. Despite facing challenges, his legacy endures, and his writings continue to impact Christian thought and preaching.
