Light Shining out of Darkness

BY WILLIAM COWPER

God moves in a mysterious way,

His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,

And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines

Of never-failing skill,

He treasures up his bright designs,

And works his sov'reign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,

The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break

In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust him for his grace;

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,

Unfolding ev'ry hour;

The bud may have a bitter taste,

But sweet will be the flow'r.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,

And scan his work in vain;

God is his own interpreter,

And he will make it plain.

God Moves in Mysterious Ways

by Aiden Wilson Tozer

To the child of God, there is no such thing as accident. He travels an appointed way. The path he treads was chosen for him when as yet he was not, when as yet he had existence only in the mind of God.

Accidents may indeed appear to befall him and misfortune stalk his way; but these evils will be so in appearance only and will seem evils only because we cannot read the secret script of God's hidden providence and so cannot discover the ends at which He aims.

When true faith enters, chance and mischance go out for good. They have no jurisdiction over them that are born of the Spirit, for such as these are sons of the new creation and special charges of the Most High God.

While sojourning here below, these children of the eternal covenant may pay token tribute to nature; sickness, old age and death may levy upon them, and to the undiscerning eye, they may seem to be as other men. Here, as in all its other judgments upon Christianity, the world is completely fooled by appearances, for it cannot see that these believing ones are hid with Christ in God.

alright, time for a tale.

A few days ago, I noticed the battery light on my dashboard blinking, complete with a Check Engine light on. A quick bit of Google-Fu later, and I'm thinknig it's the top result: A bad Alternator.

this concerned me, but i wasn't going to just go to the store and check the warning code; breaking a habit like "Go straight home" is hard to do. It's a repetitive motion where you stop thinking until after it's done without a reminder - at which point, you can't alter the habit because you've already done it, so it'll wait until tomorrow or necessity.

Add a few more days to a week. Today, I go, get gas for my empty tank, prepare to turn on the car - nothing.

No reaction whatsoever.

Car is dead in the water.

Welp.

So I wait an hour, end up helping an old lady after buying dinner and a set of jumper cables, then the old lady helps me by jumping my car. No Check Engine, full tank, but not sure if problem is gone yet.

So I go to the nearby O'Reilly's, yep, second diagnosis says bad alternator. Could buy one there, but it would have to be shipped to Colo Spgs from Denver, and it'd be $150.

Apprehensive,jpg

In the end, I don't buy the alternator there. So I wander, and with help I get some fuel system cleaner (soot build up can hurt milleage, might as well clean that up) and fresh window wipers, since I'd probably partially trashed the ones I had because I'd only replaced one and used both on ice before my heat was fixed.

Got that squared away, nice since it's the rainy season.

Get on the highway, no check engine light, but confirmed that the battery light flickering at 3 thousand rpms was still there. Almost home, turned in towards home, glance at my pphone and realize/remember: I was supposed to go to NAPA nearby. that was the plan I made with mom.

Tires will wait till tomorrow anyway.

So I turn three times, go towards napa, realize there's an O'Reillys next to NAPA and the new-ish Dairy Queen that's popped up in the last two years (rural Colorado, this is still kinda unexpected, but it's not like we don't have the space out there), so I turn into O'Reillys.

I already know that if it's not in stock like at the Colo Spgs store, they can order it from Denver, whereas NAPA was unknown. So I go in, get the alternator and an extra belt because I don't know what state mine's in and an extra isn't a bad idea anyway, proceed to stare at my alternator.

I am bad at being a Guy, because I don't have tools. How am I going to fix this?

then the other counter guy, Ivan, comes out, we talk, there's a battery / alternator tester box we try, everything checks out, then power cuts as me and mom communicate and confuse each other because I can only juggle three things at a time and there's more than three things happening. Also my phone is being unhelpful, because Phone app isn't working right.

First we think it's the starter, then she asks her friend for help and there's more communication and confusion, Ivan notices my hand job with the wiring on the battery from two years ago as he's cleaning off built up battery acid on the positive end of the battery.

Red wire is just fine. Black wire is loose and missing the tightening nut.

Cue instant problem solving.

In the end, the solution is simple: Tighten Black Wire connection and put on new nut.

When I got home, I remembered episode 1 of House M.D. At the very end, after 30 minutes of troubles, the solution is just 2 pills. Same kind of feeling of simplicity and relief as this one missing nut.

God used his plans of making me confident enough to make decisions for myself to skip out on a semi-irreversible purchase, getting other necessities, a new utility knife to replace my old belt knife (after some happy teasing drama about "that is a shiny knife I want it," "Do you even need a knife?" "No, I have plenty and lost more but it's Shiny, I want it!" did not buy that super shiny and probably sharp ten dollar knife), and a simple fix to a simple problem.

And that's my drama for today. Thanks for listening! :}

the difference between the triumph in 'i found you!' and the shame in 'you've found me.' is proof enough!!!

#distext #i feel strongly enough abt this one to tag it #the silt verses #youve found me and the god i unwittingly fed-- it was never yours but it was mine and you stayed because you found me. #blah blah the narrative twists to incorporate the listener's hopes and desires for a happy ending blah blah #but the god is not capable of denying the rapture in the journey. it is in fact all it has to offer. #sebastian being unhappy *now* doesn't mean that the god is unfed. of course not. the journey is eternal. #but the lingering doubt would not have been centered upon his lifelong traveling companion. because that *spoils it!* #there is no journey in staying here. staying here is an ending. and the other narrative can't bloom with such a shadow hanging over it. #hope exists. of course it does. it must. but it isn't like. saccharine and revisionist. #not the decision to stay in the place of potential and never see and ending through. #dev calls him sebastian. whether it's an attention check (are you listening?) or a slipup back to formality it is a fuckup. #in much the same socially inept way that 'let's stay here' was such a desirable idea for your lover this morning you dont even consider NOW #elephant. elephant is what i meant. #anyway. meta fodder for the listener (i dont have the commentary but ive seen the phrase 'coin-flip') vs. watsonian social interactions. #........ frankly i dont think that sebastian gave enough of a fuck to pick a winner between hayward and carpenter either but that is just m #i think there's probably something smart to say about how moving forward this season involves nothing but uncertainty #where even following the cairn maiden to an assured ending leaves the pulsing question of when #but man im just upset. gay sex saved the day solved the mystery and now we're going back to get shotgun married to dodge the draft #if you dont have your own insurance plan your spouse's is fine. #sorry. what was i talking about? #right. there isn't a joy in this. there is no definite moment where the hurt- this trauma. the fog.- would pass and settle into comfort. #and among all of the promises and threats. it would only hurt for a moment. #nope! congrats. scarred for life you have to keep on living and difficult conversations you have to keep on having and continued awkwardnes #can't catch me suicide metaphor i'm gay as fuck. anyways #podcast tag #tsv spoilers

After Last Night's Shenanigans...

Parker was so excited to wake up to her mommy and with that, Tiffani is truly feeling right at home. Like she's finally exactly where she's supposed to be in life, with her babies. And I think Krystle's starting to feel the same way for her, too. So, let's sit back and cherish the last holiday with the girls all living together under one roof! Happy Harvestfest!!

You know that phrase that people like to utter when something horrible happens that makes you doubt there really is an all-loving god at the helm ? "The ways of the Lord are inscrutable", or something along the lines… Well, it just hit me, but Hazbin Hotel is basically that phrase carried to its logical conclusion. Nobody has the foggiest idea what is going on and why things happen the way they do, not even Heaven's higher-ups… Note that this idea already existed as far back as the Divine Comedy : "Even Heaven's most enlightened soul - that Seraph with his eye most set on God - could not provide the why, not satisfy what you have asked. For deep in the abyss of the Eternal Ordinance, it is cut off from all created beings' vision."* But even then, it seemed like the angels had a pretty solid understanding of the main lines. In HH, everybody is just desperately trying to figure out the rules of the game they are playing, as if God created the world and then went to take a nap without telling anybody how it works. XD

* I took some liberties with the layout and punctuation for the sake of readability, but you got the gist.

#next time someone ask you how a scumbag like adam managed to get into heaven #just tell them that god moves in mysterious ways #hazbin hotel #helluva boss #random thought #hazbin hotel heaven #hh heaven #hazbin hotel adam #hh adam #hazbin hotel sera #hh sera #hazbin hotel emily #hh emily

my toxic trait is that when i was watching saturn’s fishing tourney vod i was rooting for cleo to put tessa in the box bcus i thought “jonathan” was rlly charming and maybe if she did what he said then he’d chill out and be just a really sweet and funny guy without trying to keep her in a cage or stab her again

#‘jonathan’ is in quotes bcus hes actually just someone roleplaying as joe goldberg he just gave a fake name #this is coming from someone who wouldve said yes to anakin’s offer to padme of ruling the galaxy together #i might have a type. the type being male characters who are outwardly charming and sweet but secretly obsessive and toxic #lets see. jonathan. anakin/vader. hannibal. guillermo. doc ock. belos. #dooku. moira overwatch. sans undertale for a short period in my youth #especially the underfell version lol #ummmm matt murdock but to a far lesser degree cus his fear of abandonment isnt stronger than his fear of god #certain characterizations of wd gaster back in 2016 #my own fucking OC serafim #BENRY how could i forget. #except he’s charming in the same way that an abandoned edwardian era manor with rotting wood and moldy wallpaper and boarded up windows is #one where the power is off for the first night bcus i moved in on a sunday and cant call the power company #enticing me to move in with the purpose of fixing it up back to its original state #while i ignore the mysterious crying noises from the sealed attic and say ‘mustve been the cat again’ when another cup falls off the counte #and the neighbors swear there shouldnt be any cats but i keep hearing scratching at my door at night and finding dead birds/mice #krav talks

It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin's expedition STILL has not been found 😭 There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that's needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories...

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we "evolved" from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you'll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense

#sure there's nuance like i don't fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

God moves in a mysterious way,    His wonders to perform;He plants his footsteps in the sea,    And rides upon the storm.Deep in unfathomable mines    Of never failing skill;He treasures up his bright designs,    And works His sovereign will.Ye fearful saints fresh courage take,    The clouds ye so much dreadAre big with mercy, and shall break    In blessings on your head.Judge not the Lord by…
