The truth is out there! We are wasting billions of $ in a war that cannot be won! All to prop up the companies that are profiting from the disaster. An immediate cease fire needs to happen!

"Your wife? Really?"

Nick sank further into his chair as Max poured himself a drink. "That a problem?"

Max eyed the other man from the corner of his eye as the silence stretched between them. "Why would it be a problem?" he finally asked as he strode to his chair and slowly sat down. "She'd play the part well. And if you're as good of an agent as you claim to be, I'm sure you can come up with a reasonable explanation as to why you picked someone outside of the CIA to pose as your wife."

"I'm not talking about that," Nick said, tapping a finger on the armrest. "I mean, is it going to be a problem for you since she'll be alone with me."

Max chose not to respond as he brought his glass to his lips, choosing instead to look at the live feed on the laptop.

You were still asleep in bed, unaware of the men talking and watching you.

"Something wrong, Max?" Nick questioned, trying not to smirk when the darker haired man tore his gaze away from the screen.

"Nothing at all," he said after a beat. "Because wherever this assignment is I won't be far away."

"Think I'll double cross you? That's your thing."

"Yeah, but it's also your thing. You just happen to have a job title with what you do," Max said unapologetically. "My concern is her. She'll have to learn to trust you."

"And she'll have to learn to trust you all over again," Nick pointed out.

A hint of determination filled Max's blue eyes as he looked at the screen once more. "I earned it once. I can do it again."

Love and thanks! ❤️

i love the moment in s1 where sassy tells rebecca that while rupert may have built the tower she was isolated in, rebecca was the one who chose to climb those steps by herself. as someone who was in a similar relationship as rebecca had with rupert, i find that so strangely cathartic. yes, he was abusive. yes, i blame him for a lot haha. but i also chose to do a lot on my own, and i can't pin those things on him. every time i see that part, it's a good reminder to me that i need to still be accountable for my wrongs, not just focus on his. it's strangely empowering to be reminded to take accountability, own my part, and be better. ted lasso is just so great for so many reasons, and even the smallest lines find ways to nestle their way into my soul. i love rebecca's storyline, and it surprises me to see my similarities with her, but i'm excited to see where her journey continues to go. i hope we continue to grow together ◡̈

(similar line that slapped me in the face in a good way: the truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off)

Christianity on Gender Transitioning

If you're okay with a woman getting her breast tissue reduced because it causes her a lot of pain and no bras are supportive enough, and you're okay with men having vasectomies once they no longer wish to bear children, and you're okay with people getting lasik surgery to improve their eyesight, why are you against gender surgeries and transitions? If top surgery is "mutilation", so is breast reduction. If vaginoplasties are "spitting in the face of God's creation", so are vasectomies. If using T is "playing God" because you're changing your body, so is lasik.

Gender transitioning is no different than any other surgical procedure-- it is done to improve the quality of your life, and in no way denies that God made you beautifully in His image. It is because, while God declares you to be beautifully and wonderfully made, physical dysfunction is a normal reality.

As another example, those who are disabled are still created perfectly. Their disability is neither their sin nor God's mistake; it is a condition given to their person and their life, with its challenges but also with its great benefits for them and the Kingdom. At the same time, it is foolishness to suggest that they never lessen the hardship that can come with their disability through surgery, because it will "mess with God's creation". Modern medicine is used by God, including through surgeries.

This concept can be applied beyond disability, back to the woman with the chest/back pain, and the man seeking a permanent contraceptive so his wife can stop worrying about her pill or toxic IUD, and the person seeking to see better. We all benefit from surgery in different ways, and for some, that may include gender surgery. How is it different?

Whosoever, He said, commits sin, whether Jew or Greek, rich or poor, king or beggar, is the servant of sin. O miserable bondage! ...when wearied with the hardness of his tasks... whither does the slave of sin flee? He takes it along with him, wherever he goes; for his sin is within him. The pleasure passes away, but the sin does not pass away: its delight goes, its sting remains behind. He alone can free from sin, Who came without sin, and was made a sacrifice for sin. [With these truths,] Christ purposely alarms us first, and then gives us hope. He alarms us, that we may not love sin; He gives us hope, that we may not despair of the absolution of our sin. Our hope then is this, that we shall be freed by Him who is free. He has paid the price for us, not in money, but in His own blood: If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Not from the barbarians, but from the devil; not from the captivity of the body, but from the wickedness of the soul. [Now] the first stage of freedom is, the abstaining from sin. But that is only incipient, it is not perfect freedom: for the flesh still lusts against the spirit, so that you do not do the things that you would. Full and perfect freedom will only be, when the contest is over, and the last enemy, death, is destroyed. Do not then abuse your freedom, for the purpose of sinning freely; but use it in order not to sin at all. Your will will be free, if it be merciful: you will be free, if you become the servant of righteousness.

Where I'm From

I’m from being told school matters most

I’m from mental health coming last

I’m from being told I’m not good enough

From always being put in the middle 

I’m from not being understood

from being mistreated

I’m from everyone assuming I’m ok

I’m from faking my smile

I’m from hiding in the bathroom when it gets too loud

I’m from always getting blamed

I’m from never being happy with myself

From always thinking I’m the problem

I’m from getting punished for doing what I think is right

I’m from sleepless nights

I’m from standing up for myself

I’m from always getting shut down

I’m from no one ever helping 

That’s where I’m from. That’s my story.
