Spring, no wait, winter again?

Spent some time in the garden with my old 105mm macro lens before the storm came in with wind and snow. I can’t remember the last time we have had such a warm winter, it was 65 degrees today.

I never resist time to play when it's warm outside, especially barefoot in the garden. This year’s goal is to bring the garden back to it’s glory. The last 3 years I let it go. It was not because lack of time, but because of inspiration. The thing that happened in 2020 killed all motivation to do anything. This year will be different.

I hope to share more of my garden’s journey back to where it was and even better. If you want to learn more about gardening and even want to join the conversation, join my facebook group, Rochester Gardeners.

my greatest misery is the fact that the sun is the only star i have ever seen rise on the horizon.

perhaps it is because i know polaris is so close and i want to see that rise too.

i am forever discontent that only seven of the eight wonders are accessible to me .

forever starved of greatness , how dare god tease me with all this knowledge .

to know everything great is just out of reach is a curse worse than death

Some Just Don't Get It

To be in the flesh is to be obsessed with earthly things… like your future here (what future?), your physical life here, your “happiness”, where to go, who to see or be seen with… blah blah blah… But on the other hand, being “obsessed” (for want of a better word) with Pauline doctrine, the Bible, sound doctrine or Right Division ain’t being in the flesh – unless of course, you are doing it with…

Is My Dog Going to Heaven?

“The Bible says the gate into heaven is narrow but is wide entering hell.” Suppose a dog could go to heaven, got there, but eventually realized the master never made it?” Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2 ~Ministerneecy~ Repost:Is My Dog Going to Heaven? You see, to ask that question is to signal a need to search the Scriptures to find out what the Bible says…

Hi dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

I came here to talk to you about idolatry. I will talk about:

1. A definition of idolatry

2. Earthly things

3. How can we overcome having idols and desiring earthly things?

4. Scriptures about having idols and desiring earthly things

5. An animation that shows the consequences of these sins.

A definition of idolatry

A lot of people think that they don't worship the devil or don't commit the sin of idolatry because they claim themselves as Christians and have faith in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. However, just because you don't worship idols made of woods, metal etc. doesn't mean that you don't have any idols. I wanted to remind you that everything can be an idol, even a person that you idolise. An idol can be the music that you listen to, movies that you binge-watch, people from your life, games that you play and more. For an idol is everything that is our priority, takes the place of our God Almighty Who should always be the most important for us.

Earthly things

As humans, we desire earthly things as we are influenced by the environment of ours, in which the devil plays a huge part. He wants to do everything to take us from our Lord, Savior, Friend. Why? Lucifer is mad for he knows that God is way stringer and powerful than him and he knows that he has already lost the battle. However, he seeks revenge on God by trying to take His children away from God so that they don't live in Heaven with their One and True Heavenly Father. He does it by taking our attention from the One that we need the most — God — and putting our attention on earthly things: music, movies, series, videos, games, gossip, idolising popular people, badmouthing others, encouraging people to speak against someone, normalising hatred and loving the revenge — things that the world is crazy about. He know that he will perish in hell and doesn't want to be alone in all of this. That's why he wants you to go there with him. The devil wants you to think that his presence is better than God's Holy Presence by putting a lot of different hardships in your life. The closer to God you are, the more hardships the devil wants you to face for he knows that your faith is strong. He knows that you are no longer slave for him but are obedient to God and he knows that he has lost you and wants you back to torment you in hell and on earth. But don't you worry for the Scriptures says ”Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4 KJV). Greater is the One Who arts in Heaven that he who rules on earth.

How can we overcome having idols and desiring earthly things?

Here are a few tips:

~ Find your identity in Christ. Remember that you were born again in Christ. Remember that God is here to help you and heal you. Remember that once you surrendered to Lord of Lords, you claimed to be His child. You are no longer slave to devil, but you are the beloved daughter/brother of Almighty. You no longer have to be obedient to satan and do what he tempts you to do, for you are safe in the Mighty Hands of God.

~ Prayer. Pray to Him to help you fight the desire to come back to sin, to come back to being the one you were before you were saved. Ask Holy Spirit, your Dear, Holy Friend for guidence and pray to God to help you recognize His voice. Pray that Holy Spirit will remind you of what Jesus says, what is written in the Bible.

~ Keep in mind that Holy Trinity is with you. If you struggle to remember that Holy Trinity always listens to your prayers and is with you, even in the moments in which God seems to be far from you. He promised you to never leave you: ”So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10). Try to imagine Jesus sitting beside you in the times of tempation. Trust me, He is always ready to help you. Just start talking to Him, turn to Him and ask for help. He will make it easier for you. You can also ask Him to speak to you and then open the Bible. It will keep your mind busy from the distracting earthly things.

Here are some Scriptures about idolatry and seeking earthly things:

“³ You shall have no other gods before me. ⁴ You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. ⁵ You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:4-6)

”Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.” (1 Corinthians 10:14)

”Dear children, keep yourselves from idols." (1 John 5:21)

“Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them." (Jonah 2:8)

“Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.” (Leviticus 19:4)

”¹⁹ The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰ idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹ and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21)

”All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.” (Isaiah 44:9)

”¹⁹ No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, “Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?” ²⁰ Such a person feeds on ashes; a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?” (Isaiah 44:19-20)

I recommend you to watch a video about this topic. It is a good animation that brings knowledge. Keep on spreading the Gospel and helping people to repent, let them be aware of the consequences of sin.

"Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?"

A couple little things for the cryptid hunter au with cryptid!ghost @@stuffireadandenjoy

Soap: *a researcher who basically grew up in a forest and spends every free moment in the woods*

Ghost: *the literal cryptid that is tied to the woods*

Gaz, struggling to keep up with them: Fucking slow down! Some of us are fucking normal!!

Gaz is the one to notice Ghost isn't quite human. Everyone else thinks Ghost is just autistic but Gaz is like "nah he's something pretending to be human and doing a rather awful job at it"

Ghost's full cryptid form has more animalistic personality traits. He still remembers everything in both forms. Because of this, his cryptid form recognizes Soap as Johnny! but forgets it's a massive scary ass creature that isn't supposed to be showing itself to people. So now Soap has to convince everyone that he's not crazy, that the forest guardian is actually very friendly and loves Doritos.

Which this also means Soap is feeding the weird cryptid all sorts of snacks as a part of "research".

Now picture big scary skull face black leathery skinned deer spitting out a sour gummy worm Soap fed him and hissing because BAD

fun fact: "cherub" likely didn't originally describe a little angel baby -- it comes from the hebrew word "keruv" which, in jewish mythology (according to my rabbi mom, anyway), is much more like a sphinx: an angel with the front half of a lion, the back half of a bull, the face of a human, and wings!

so here is my doodley little cherub creature... with a lamb in back instead of a bull! and with rosy cheeks and a halo too, to be like modern depictions of cherubim for fun. my mom just recently learned what a furry is and said if i were an animal i'd be a cherub (mainly because of my mane-like golden hair)... she might be right!

#dandy's doodles #it is so hard to draw a mane you have no idea!! augh!!! #anyway i love love love my sweet dragon but i'm being indecisive...! #and at least for a cherub i can justify it existing in our world. cuz i'm jewish and i can believe in angels if i so choose #i think angels wouldn't look like anything we can comprehend so they'd just approximate themselves with earthly parts for our mortal eyes #hence chimera sorts of things :) cool beasts #i don't know i tried looking around online for the kind of sphinxy cherub my mom was describing but i didn't find too much #a little bit on wikipedia i guess. nobody's quite sure what cherubim look like but this is what my mom thinks... and i like it!!! #oh and she says seraphim are winged serpents... so dragons! dragons!! dragons!!!

Random headcanon:

Okay, so, I'm firmly on team 'Clara and Odette were adopted in hell' because like... It's a show about found family. Healthy relationship with an adopted family unit being the reason the main cast eventually win seems on brand, and a lot less convuluted than the shananigans it would've taken for both her human biological daughters to end up in hell and managing to find her. (plus I have a shitton of Carmilla hcs that don't have much room for her to be a mum when she was alive, but that ain't the point here)

I was rewatching the scene just before Whatever it takes, and I noticed that Odettes horns seem to be a headband, and obviously Out For Love made it pretty clear that Carmillas are just how she styles her hair. Meanwhile Clara's (as far as I can tell) seem real.

Odette and Carmilla both started wearing horns to make Clara feel better about her real, actual ones.

#Which like also ties into the suggested thing that the sinners forms are influenced by their earthly issues #See: Alastor getting the Acteon treatment. #I haven't figured out exactly why the horns would be a sore point in the first place yet tho #Maybe she was religious when she was alive? They're p.typical devil horns could be Catholic guilt #hazbin hotel #clara carmine #odette carmine #carmilla carmine #headcanons #No this isn't suspiciously timed Clara thoughts after saying I might do a fic about Vaggie being adopted by Carmilla what do you mean
