But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”

 He said, “Come.”

So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.”

Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

The piano is not firewood…

everything in the world is always getting better all the time. proof:

1) to disagree with this sentiment is reactionary

2) you shouldn’t say things that are reactionary

thus it is proven

remember, things always get better forever and thinking things might be getting worse is simply cognitive bias

humans will see a swamp and build a city on it and then spend the next 2,000+ years struggling to keep it from turning back into a swamp

everybody saying a different city is cracking me up

it’s easier to fight the water than it is to build a city without water.

Please just do the 25th and put us out of our misery.

Child of These Tears is one of my favorite kind of stories - as I got close to the end I couldn’t decide what a good ending would even look like. There seemed to be a limited number of endings, but they all seemed unsatisfactory in a tragic way. And the story does end, and one of the possible endings happens, but it is told in such a way that it’s all worth it. Grace abides.

It was also very well done for a historical fiction novel set in 1705. A lot of the tension depends on period-accurate Feeneyism if that puts you off. There was also a moment when the Jesuit priest indicates he’s in the second Teresian mansion but also he had a dark night of the soul, which is contradictory because the dark night of the soul happens between the sixth and seventh mansions. It struck me as odd because his own spiritual tradition has it’s own terminology for this - he experienced a spiritual desolation. But it’s a minor quibble.

Remember Gangnam Style?

It didn’t have to be like this. We could have stayed human.

Have you seen the new movie? It’s on library. It’s literally on the library. It’s on library without ads. It’s literally on your local public library. You can probably ask for it on your library. Dude it’s on your library. It’s in the original case too. It’s on library. You can watch it at the library. You can go to your local library and watch it. Register onto your local library right now. Go to your library. Dive into your library. You can watch it. It’s on there. Your library has it for you. Your library has it for you.

Have you seen your post? You can see it at library. It’s at library. It’s on the library staff cabinet. It got printed out on paper and put up on Library.

People love to make fun of Archeologists for how often we say objects were used ritualistically, as if we overuse that designation or just say it when we a don’t know what something was used for. But that’s only because people don’t stop to think how full of ritual all of our lives are.

The meme is actually correct for the most part, hotdogs are ritually consumed during baseball games. Lots of people only even eat hotdogs if they’re watching baseball. The expectation for us to eat turkey on thanksgiving is another example of us ritually consuming food. Drinking coffee every morning is another ritual we do. Going to the gym several days a week is a ritual.

“Ritual” doesn’t necessarily mean “religious.”
