    New movie "Bonhoeffer"

    Thanks 🙏 I dunno 🤷 I suppose I lean left but not hardline or anything. More importantly… The hard right politicization of Christianity is frightening. The left has its fair share…but they don’t advocate violence and theocracy etc. mostly it’s just never ending material on inequality and…...

    We need to love the murderer, rapist and mobster!

    I dunno 🤷‍♂️ Prison sentences vary from state to state and then there’s how the law is applied. Race gender and social class are huge factors that affect sentencing. And then there’s the prevailing political climate at the time. In my area parole boards are releasing fewer and fewer people...

    We need to love the murderer, rapist and mobster!

    I will say there is a risk involved. I dunno 🤷‍♂️ it’s not a blanket statement but it’s the real world 🌍 etc. The problem seems to me to at least partially be how deviant behavior is handled. Jails and prisons tend to further harden people and reward antisocial behaviors. Mental hospitals 🏥 at...

    [__ Science __ ] Euthanasia “Horror Stories” Coming Out of Canada

    I think I’d probably be described as left wing 🪽. Yay for social programs workers rights universal healthcare etc. and yet… Not really big on this destructive death march that much of modern society is going on full force. And… Some relatively high percentage of deaths end with some sort of...

    [__ Prayer __] Time to lose weight

    Long story…. I got fat. Poverty stress social isolation meds health problems etc…. Now? God has willed that I be healthy and now I see that I’ve developed some bad gluttonous tendencies over the years. Coffee ☕️ with loads of cream. Too much…everything. I’m no longer living in poverty so it’s...

    [__ Science __ ] Euthanasia “Horror Stories” Coming Out of Canada

    And… On a personal note: people openly talked about how I should kill myself back in the day. Long story but it’s how cruel the world 🌎 is or at least a taste of it. Honestly?!? I chose life…to whatever extent I could…in part to defy all those people. I still do…

    [__ Science __ ] Euthanasia “Horror Stories” Coming Out of Canada

    Euthanasia is anti Christian and evil. I’m disabled. In some nations psychiatric disorders are grounds of medically assisted suicide. Not even labels 🏷️ as severe as mine. Depression ptsd… It’s happened a good bit in Belgium and in the Netherlands. Historical side note: psychiatric patients...

    [__ Prayer __] Gratitude 🙏

    Bearing up with under what is coming my way is… Challenging to a point. I have been trying to make sense of it when I should have been turning to Jesus Christ and just being here dealing with it and being conformed to Christ through it. Lesson learned? I’ll probably get another round of random...

    the causes of human suffering

    He causes the sun to shine and the rain to fall upon good and wicked alike. You shall have troubles but I have overcome the world 🗺️. Paraphrasing off the top of my head… My general sense is that life is often cruel and the cruelty is often especially intense and painful for Christians some...

    Can she go to another doctor 👨‍⚕️? Sounds awfully painful…

    the causes of human suffering

    The world 🌎 often blames people for their suffering. Sometimes there’s truth to it sometimes not so much but in any case it’s how the world 🗺️ works. Following Jesus Christ involves persecution and tribulation and trials. That’s in Scripture.

    [__ Prayer __] Gratitude 🙏

    A lot of this seems to be a reaction to God’s work in my life. This is to be expected. I get creeped out by how cruel people are now because I’m thinking 🧐 hey I’m reasonably well dressed and I keep a low profile and I don’t know many people so this can’t go on indefinitely right? Well…wrong...

    [__ Prayer __] Gratitude 🙏

    Thank you 🙏. I take loads of b vitamins and antioxidants in addition to the atypical tranquilizer. Honestly? I do think atypical drugs are easier to tolerate than the old ones but… Without the supplements I’d just be tranquilized not really recovering. I also don’t think I’d tolerate my...

    Another day in my new life in Christ… No drama 🎭! Awesome 😎 Some lady yelled at me while I was driving through the neighborhood. She was walking her dog 🐕. Nothing special! And I’m like…who are you? lol 😆 I’m ever more thankful 🙏 for my parents and their kindness. I’m not living luxuriously...

    [__ Prayer __] Gratitude 🙏

    I have a quiet modest meaningful life… Because of Jesus Christ. My parents are amazing and I’m glad that Jesus Christ has worked in our lives as a family. It’s dawning upon me that I can’t change the world 🌍. At 40 years old I am healthy and smart and remarkably normal in important ways… And...

    Bible Study Understanding Total Depravity.

    This is true. And I do think that human beings should be dealt with on earthly matters with at least some respect for our free will. The issue isn’t just about behavior but salvation… Can a human being will himself to believe upon Jesus Christ and maintain his salvation if his own will? I...
