    Got any recipes you would like to share?

    So… I gained too much weight so no more homemade cream sauce for now lol 😆. And I’m trying to cut back on premade pasta 🍝 sauce in general. And so… I cook my pasta 🍝. Drain. I use the still hot pot 🍲 and I put in minced garlic 🧄 and some oil. I put it on the stove and heat it until the...

    [__ Prayer __] “He should be in the state hospital 🏥 “

    I get help. I’m blessed to be a voluntary outpatient so occasional counseling and med checks every 3 months or so. I take an atypical tranquilizer at a normal dose. By normal I mean normal for my diagnosis which is somewhere on the boundary between bipolar and schizophrenia. I do get...

    [__ Prayer __] “He should be in the state hospital 🏥 “

    Ugh 😑 God is Good 😊 at nearly 40 I’m healthy and reconciled to my amazing parents and doing life better. And…apparently people have come to the conclusion that I should be committed etc. I dunno 🤷‍♂️ it’s frustrating but…ok. No drugs no drinking just…ugh. It happens. Back when state...

    Bible Study Every Man's Battle: Putting An End to the Battle.

    Self renunciation is a big theme in Christs teachings, but it does seem undervalued or under emphasized in church ⛪️ settings. My best guess would be that thee aren’t many seasoned Christians who are heeding the call ☎️ to minister unto others… And the church ⛪️ much like the world 🌎 as a whole...

    Why didn't Jacob divorce Leah?

    In Malachi one reads that God hates divorce and that the divorce laws given to Moses were largely due to God accommodating the hard hearts of His people. I think 🤔 one might consider the old divorce laws an example of God’s permissive will. Jacob may have been concerned about pushback if he did...

    [__ Praise __] Dad 👨

    He had an appointment with his oncologist and… Cancer free 🆓! They’ll still be doing scans and blood tests etc., but so far it seems the kidney removal was enough to render him cancer free. I praise God for His love and mercy!

    modern christian view of sexuality not realistic

    I dunno 🤷‍♂️ It would be helpful if we Christians would deal with our own morality crises instead of or at least before trying to preach at others, wouldn’t it? Ugh 😑

    modern christian view of sexuality not realistic

    I dunno 🤷‍♂️ I’ve only skimmed more serious material on the subject but… Homosexual behavior occurs all over. Gay identities seem to have grown out of capitalism and urbanization. It is odd to me how our 21st century society overlaps with pagan cultures even the scary Babylonian ones with...

    modern christian view of sexuality not realistic

    I dunno 🤷‍♂️ homosexuality happens across cultures. I think many ancient cultures…especially the Greeks for whatever reasons…we’re both patriarchal and misogynistic, so upper class men who had the time money and inclination…plus the power…to pursue boys and young men from lower classes did so...

    modern christian view of sexuality not realistic

    Hi 👋 CS Lewis writes about putting God on the dock, or on trial. This is quite common for those still in and of the world 🌎. The Good News 📰 is foolishness to them, and it shows. Believers…not so much. I’m a recovering gay lol 😆 truth? My rather sad 😔 story that only partly involves being...

    [__ Prayer __] Airtag

    I have an iPhone. So recently I was in my way to a nearby store and the iPhone had a message about detecting an AirTag near me and some options for what to do. I chose to disable it and then changed the settings on my iPhone so I shouldn’t be in any AirTag range but… Huh 🤔? I’d just done some...

    5 Solas

    Fun fact: the first great awakening in the then colonial USA 🇺🇸 was during the mid 18th century. Calvinism was the dominant form of Christianity ✝️ at the time. And so… The church was an integral part of the community back then. People would go and get religion as they say and then local...

    Bible Study Every Man's Battle: Putting An End to the Battle.

    I dunno 🤷‍♂️ I understand that the evil one exists. I also think sin self and the world 🌎 are huge factors in problems we face.

    [__ Prayer __] Parents

    They’re both doing well overall but as is true of many people in their late 60s… Health issues are becoming a problem. I’m almost 40, high functioning schizophrenia, and they are my support system. I dunno 🤷‍♂️ they’re getting good healthcare and dad’s recovering from his surgery nicely but…...

    [__ Prayer __] Bizarre incident

    I went to a convenience store 🏪 that I’ve gone to for a long time. New clerk. I got my stuff paid and then he started talking. And talking. And.. It went for what seemed forever. I literally had my hand on the door and started pushing it open more than once. And then.. Some homeless looking...

    [__ Prayer __] Do it Gods way

    Ugh 😑 I’m being taunted at my apartment yet again. This is less intense than some incidents… but more obnoxious in a Chinese water torture way. I considered going somewhere for a why to get out…maybe get a car wash lol… But I’m staying. It’s my place I’m living here I can’t hop in my...
