Angry

Have you ever known someone who was angry with everyone and everything, including God?

That anger can come from a lot of different places.

Sometimes it comes from loss.

Sometimes it comes from failure.

Sometimes it comes from fear.

Wherever it comes from, that anger is a sign.

It’s the sign of someone who has been hurt by people or by life. Maybe even by themselves.

That anger is also a response.

They’re trying to deal with something that wounded them at the deepest level.

They’re trying to protect themselves from ever being hurt that way again.

They’re lashing out. Often at those who had nothing to do with hurting them. Including God.

So how do we deal with those people?

The same way that God does. It’s what Jesus is showing us in today’s Gospel.

We deal with those people who are lost in their anger by not rejecting them.

This is not a passive thing. It’s more than sitting there, not doing…whatever to them.

This is an intentional, deliberate, aggressive refusal to reject them. An active, in-your-face love. A holy love.

It’s the love that God pours out without measure into our hearts. And theirs.

It’s the only thing that will ever work.

Only God’s love can deal with that kind of anger.

Only God’s love can heal that kind of hurt.

Anger with God

Is it okay to be angry with God?

Is it okay to be angry with God? With Elijah fully fed and rested, God initiated a conversation with Elijah about his emotional state, and Elijah expressed his anger at God (see I Kings 19:10). The Lord’s response was not to argue with Elijah; rather, He showed Eliah Hi power through wind, earthquake, and fire, but spoke to him in a gentle whisper. He commanded Elijah to anoint two new kings and…

people on this hellsite will talk about trans men and OUR experiences, but then tell us to shut up when we correct them. they want to talk about us but never want to actually listen to us.

"support trans people!" until a trans man says you're spreading harmful rhetoric and stereotypes about us, then we're over sensitive, whiny, and hysteric. i wonder where we've heard that one before?

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go

#the locked tomb #harrowhark nonagesimus #john gaius #harrow the ninth #this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL #this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships #(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think #the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real #but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed)#there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone?#yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't)#the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god #when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care #(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution)#and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on #it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there #while john is -- well he sure is being john huh #this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end #(with john slam dunked right into hell that is)#it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up #john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

dick had bruce as a partner. there was a mentorship there yes, but at the end of the day dick & bruce were a team.

jason had bruce as a father. bruce took him and made the extra effort. he actually adopted jay and stayed home when jason was sick.

tim had bruce as a liability.

tim went to bruce- bruce never found him. i just really love the idea that because of the difference in dynamic, tim is one of the few people who can shame bruce into compliance so easily.

dick and bruce will get into shouting matches that neither one of them walk away from being satisfied, bruce is an unmovable object and dick is an unstoppable force. when they meet, its not pretty and there is almost always collateral damage.

jason and bruce are like setting off two firecrackers next to each other when they fight. it's loud, it's bright, but it burns off fast. the anger and righteous fury is there one moment but then gone the next.

tim and bruce fight differently, because a lot of the time, tim understands where bruce is coming from. he saw bruce start on his path to self destruction and managed to get him to switch tracks. bruce was never the same after jason's death (what parent is after seeing their child die) but batman was able to correct himself. after stepping into the role of robin, tim understood. he too lost so many people he cared about because of the weight of the cape he wore.

and i think the first time that damian and bruce go head to head, dick may be the one who comforts damian and assures him of his place in the family, but tim is the one who goes to bruce. it's the first time bruce has ever seen tim this angry. tim is seething with a fury that would put the devil himself to shame. he is so angry that he is shaking and bruce can the restraint that tim is using to keep the discussion from becoming physical. tim tells bruce, or rather lectures him, in all the ways that he has fucked up with dick ('kicking him out, never officially adopting him, forcing him to go through with the spyral mission- you treat him as your partner when its convenient but the moment it's not he is your soldier again. its unfair bruce. he's more of a man, more of a father than you have ever been'), with jason ('do i even need to say it? actually, let me address it. you cannot see the forest past the trees. jason isn't who he was before he died. he never will be. same as you. he lost a lot more than his life when the joker blew him up. he lost his innocence, he lost his faith in you. i'm starting to think he may have been right') and with himself ('i love you bruce. i have always cared so deeply about you and your mission. it's why i came to dick in the first place. but this isn't about me.').

and bruce remembers why his relationship with tim is so different. tim trained overseas, tim got to patrol on his own as robin so much sooner than his other boys did. tim was largely unsupervised during his run with the young justice. tim had made up an entire fake uncle to keep his indepence. tim would never argue with bruce about himself in this way, but he would argue about- ('this is about damian. and i swear to god bruce. if you can't pull that stick out of your ass and find a way to apologize to damian that leaves him feeling properly taken care of. superman himself wouldn't be enough to save you from my wrath.')

and it's only later, after bruce does apologize to damian in a way that leaves dick speechless. when barbra happened upon the cave's security footage that she shares with dick who shares with steph who shares with jason that his family figures out just how fitting of a last name that drake is for tim.

#guilt tripper tim drake #tim drake #dick grayson #bruce wayne #jason todd #batfamily #batman #dc comics #robin #red robin #damian wayne #damian is tims little brother #as god as my witness he would do anything for that boy #manipulative tim drake #angry tim drake

If you're wondering how disability staff in schools get trained about physical disability, they don't.

I'm the first wheelchair user ever in my school. The school is pulling rules out of their ass and consistently have no clue on what the guidelines are from the department. One of the disability coordinators at my school could not fathom why a red emergency cord should touch the ground (also didn't know what it was), the two of them keep acting like they're allowed to give me medical 'advice' encouraging me not to use my wheelchair (even after I've clearly shut them down and stated I'm more than aware about the effects of deconditioning) and the current SNA in my school seemingly thinks and acts like I cannot simply be anything else then a lovely little cripple with the autonomy of a five year old and the personality of a puppy in unfortunate circumstances.

All these people are specifically there to help disabled students. But seemingly their training and knowledge stops once a wheelchair user comes into the picture.

ok but cute interactions need to be balanced with something embarrassing so imagine simon coming home to see you trying on his skull mask but you accidentally had put it on backwards and so he truly didn't expect to see the way you're desperately clawing at the material, failing to rip it off your head because the smooth fleece keeps slipping away from your acrylics, and he realizes that for all that they're pretty and long, your nails are essentially useless against his simple mask.

so he just stands there, blinking, not knowing what to do and how to react. he's hearing the little grunts you're emitting, your panic bleeding away to make room for frustration, and simon promises that he wants to help. he really does. but then you just stop moving before proceeding to fall backwards on your bed with a ragged snarl, and he can't help it - he bursted out laughing.

you freeze at hearing his voice, shame creeping up from the base of your throat up to the backs of your eyes.

"jesus crist, love," he'd say as he makes his way towards you. "you okay?"

he'd laugh at your silent treatment before cooing when he finally removes his mask from your face, seeing you haggard and pouting underneath, glaring up at him. he pushes your hair away from your face. then,

"so this is how you're actually supposed to wear it-"

"shut up!"

#suns.hc #simon ghost riley x reader #simon riley x reader #ghost x reader #need him to be angry and frustrated only to come home seeing u be silly and god the way he'll melt at the sight of u #u dont even have to be doin special :(#suns

Subtle

“Brothers and sisters: For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.”

That’s how today’s first reading opens. It’s a warning. Against drifting into beliefs (and non-beliefs) that will take us away from the forgiveness and freedom of our life in Christ.

Most of us get that. We may still do it. But at least we get the warning.

What most of us miss is the more subtle form of slavery. It’s hard to spot. But it’s one of the most effective ways to let something come between us and God.

I’m thinking about how we grab things back from God, things that God has already gotten rid of.

When God forgives us, God doesn’t keep records. God doesn’t keep something around to remind Him of our worst moments. God simply “casts our sins into the depths of the sea” and remembers them no more.

So why is it that you and I are so desperate to dredge them back up from the bottom of the ocean, after they’ve been buried at sea?

We know it’s going to be gross (stuff on the bottom of the ocean does not get better with age). And yet, we still try to grab it back. By reclaiming something we don’t really want.

What we’re really doing in trying to undo God’s forgiveness is keeping ourselves miserable and isolated from the One who loves us best.

That is the subtle slavery that Paul is warning about.

The subtle part is that it doesn’t look like a deep-sea salvage operation. It looks like someone who’s still beating themselves up about something.

But what it is really is? It’s a form of pride. When we dredge it back up, we’re really saying, “What I have done is so bad that God can’t forgive me.”

When we go down this road, we’re making ourselves more powerful than God. Which means we’re lying to ourselves. And keeping ourselves from receiving God’s forgiveness.

Not because God doesn’t give it. God delights in showing mercy. But because we won’t open our hands to receive it (we’re too busy holding on tight to something that we never wanted in the first place).

If this is you (and at one time or another, it is all of us), there is only one cure. Only one way to let go of the things that God has already thrown out.

Spend more time with God.

Pour out everything that your heart is full of. Say what you need to say. Get angry with God if you are. Question. Doubt. Let it all out.

Let go of all it. Especially all the stuff that you dredged back up.

Then, when there’s nothing left, just be with God.

And in that quiet, receive the Love who has already forgiven you.

I don’t think I can emphasize enough just how much Elementary understood the core of Sherlock Holmes’ character, and the kind of cases and people he is drawn to, right from the very first episode.

The pilot opens with a wealthy woman’s murder. The prime suspect is a man who is a patient of the woman’s husband, a doctor, for help with his mental disorder. The man is desperately trying to avoid any triggers that may cause him to become violent, as he has been in the past. The doctor decides to use this man as a tool to kill his wife to collect her life insurance. He manipulates both his patient and his wife, alters the man’s medications, and ignores the man’s pleas for help, in order to set a scenario that is guaranteed to trigger the man’s violence - resulting in his wife’s death and later his patient’s.

When Sherlock pieces this together, he confronts the doctor, which leads to this:

And that’s what drives Sherlock to confront the doctor directly. There’s no smugness in being right, or for figuring out who the murderer was and how he did it. Sherlock realizes that this man’s patient was just another victim - someone who desperately wanted and sought help, only to be mistreated. Sherlock Holmes in this adaptation cares so deeply about people, especially those who are denied help when they need it most, and we learn all of this from the very first case.

#elementary #sherlock holmes #sherlock #ive never forgotten this scene #how angry sherlock is when the doctor dismisses everything he is saying #and then just...deflates...#'and YOU took advantage'#that's not even touching on how sherlock is a recovering addict #and is following a case involving a man losing control when he so desperately doesnt want to #god this show. THIS SHOW.#i am BEGGING you all to watch this show
