for what it’s worth I really enjoyed the book, so he was right.

my husband is an avid reader & told me I really needed to read @Miranda_July’s All Fours. he said it was genius. I start reading this book & it’s about a woman going through perimenopause doing insane things.
I probably shouldn’t read too much into it.

@moej4prez @iWomansplainer Just chiming in here as one more mama whose baby stopped kicking at 31 weeks. Maybe just breathe a sigh of relief and gratitude every time you feel one of those kicks, even if they wake you up.

Se o Santo Sudário é uma farsa, foi alguém usando tecnologia do futuro na idade média. Um cientista tentou reproduzir o manto e constatou que pra ficar igual seriam necessários 34 trilhões de watts no tecido durante um quadragésimo de bilionésimo de segundo.
Aí você escolhe no que acreditar: ou foi mais um dos vários milagres de Jesus Cristo, ou foi um viajante no tempo com tecnologia ultrafuturística que decidiu ir pra idade média e forjar isso. É como dizem: às vezes o ateu tem bastante fé nas coisas que ele acredita.

HOLY SMOKES. Italian physicist Paolo Di Lazzaro spent five years trying to reproduce the body image seen on the Shroud of Turin—and couldn’t. Using intense UV light, his team was able to create small areas of discoloration on linen, but recreating the full image proved impossible with modern technology. According to biblical scholar Jeremiah Johnston, Di Lazzaro estimated the process would require an extraordinary burst of energy: "Paolo told me it would take 34,000 billion watts of energy traveling in one 40th of a billionth of a second to change the chemical makeup of a fine linen shroud to leave that image... 'We don't have that power on Earth.'" "There was a chemical change to the shroud that if it had lasted longer than one 40th of a billionth of a second, it would've scorched." This is incredible.

@chionerin I think this is normal to a point, but if it starts to interfere with your daily life, it might be a type of obsession/intrusive thought that can happen in OCD.

❓️❓️❓️Question ❓️❓️❓️
Is it normal for a Christian to question their savlation? I spend many a sleepless nights laying awake questioning weather I actually know God and am saved or if its just a part I play. What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God?
Does anyone else feel this way? How did you get over it?

I’m alive, I’m sober, I’m a person trying. that has to be enough.

hey so what is it called when you basically only have two modes of operating one where you procrastinate and put things off constantly and the other when you lock in so hard that you literally don't move til you're finished with said task like why do i not have an in between mode

Please recommend good preachers that I can watch on YouTube.

King Solomon died yesterday at two and a half months old. We loved him really well, and we don't have any regrets. We got nine days at home with him after 61 days in the NICU. Nine will never feel like enough, but we must accept what is given to us––we were never in control.
Let's take stock of all God's mercies, how He worked through people: My OB, who heard my conviction about carrying Sol to term even with his disabilities, and supported it fully, with empathy and respect; the nurses in the Lenox Hill NICU, where he spent the majority of his time, who loved him so tenderly, like he was their own; his physical therapist, who saw extreme hope for him despite his disabilities, and tried to make it so; my mom, who put her own life on hold to come live in New York with us for the whole winter, to watch Zev and keep our household running; Zev, who wanted to wear matching pajamas with his brother each night he was home (and some of the nights Sol was in the NICU), who was eager to come to the hospital with us to play in the lobby even though he wasn't often allowed in the NICU, who chose not to be afraid of hospitals or tubes but to touch and kiss and snuggle his brother whenever he was able; @nwilliams030 and @rSanti97, who camped out at the hospital during Sol's final days so we would never feel alone, who watched Zev whenever our family had to dip back down to Texas; the people who covered us in prayer all over the country. Perhaps most of all, I'm grateful for my husband: He wasn't Catholic or pro-life when we met, but life experience has brought him to these beliefs. They ground us now; his faith is steadfast. He didn't leave Sol's side during those final, hardest days. He doesn't falter.
Something tragic happened to our family, but we won't become permanently sad or dark; we really believe in God's promises. We're called to hope, no matter what, and the best we can do is serve our children with everything we've got. That's what we did, and in the process we got to glimpse the goodness of the Lord over and over again.

After 61 days in the NICU, our Solomon was finally released last week to come start life at home. Thank you for all of your prayers; it was the darkest, scariest, worst two months of my life. But God showed his grace to us in so many ways, and many people banded together to allow me to spend every single day with him in the NICU. We are so grateful to the nurses who loved him like their own; to his physical therapist who is helping him overcome & adapt to his disabilities; to the doctors who performed his surgery; to our priest who baptized him in the hospital; to the friends and family who packed lunches for us, and watched our toddler, and did our laundry, who prayed with and for us and still do. I am grateful in particular for my husband and my mom, who showed me Christlike grace throughout, and for our 3-year-old, who didn't let his joy become dampened by all this fear and sorrow—an example from which we could all stand to learn. "I remain confident of this," Psalm 27 reminds us. "I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." The Lord's goodness has been shown to us every day of these 61. People sometimes denigrate Christians as just those seeking comfort, needing a story to tell themselves. But yes! We are comforted by the Lord. He shows up for us in all kinds of ways, when we're looking—and when we're not. And He looks after the scared and grieving mother, the sick and vulnerable child, the family in need. He did for us, many times over. And many of you did, too, through prayer and acts of kindness. Thank you.

@notcapnamerica Shrinking. Derry Girls. Tiny beautiful things.

A comedy series where incredibly moving moments sneak up on you?
Like Schitt’s Creek.
English
@moej4prez Yes. It is so unbiblical and unhelpful. Like zero percent comforting. God does not need anything.
English
@farmingandJesus This is beautiful. I’m sorry things are so painful right now.
English
I write this with tears. I’m an open book and I’m not hiding that I’ve been suffering really bad… worse than I ever have(genuinely not searching for sympathy I’m ok )
God is showing me his purpose in suffering and it’s painful but I trust him. The purpose is purging the last 10 years of loss and pain… he’s healing parts of me, closing doors that I had expected to be opened (what do I know!) and it hurts a ton.
The thing I wanted to share may be silly to some but it’s been helping me, so I feel compelled to share it if maybe it will help anyone else.
When these waves of tears and fear/depression come over me I sit alone and speak the word of God over myself. I repeat verses I’ve memorized and thank Him for not leaving me and that I can have comfort in my most uncomfortable state.
For the “silly” part , here we go.. I sit in silence and close my eyes when the intrusive , heartbreaking, traumatic, or utterly terrifying memories/thoughts come into my head and I replace them with the above mentioned but I also get a picture in my head of a day with Jesus (in the flesh) I go on a day dream of maybe we’re in a forest or a field , a meadow or somewhere beautiful having a picnic and I’ll go through the menu in my head an what we talk about , then I realize I can talk to him about it alone in my room or where ever I am…. So I do…
The picture in my head of “a green pasture” (if you know you know) and just sitting with him and having good food/tea I made with love for him is so comforting….If you have ptsd or any issues with scary thoughts/ fear/ pain/confusion/heartbreak I highly recommend this. If you think I’m a weirdo for it that’s ok too because I probably am, but God loves me and he will never leave me (he would also love my pancakes I’m sure) 🥰

@sarahsalviander Praying for a smooth surgery and complete recovery. Zeppelin and Elliot send snuggles.

So, this is a difficult thing to post, but it looks like my cancer has returned. I'd been disease free since 2019, but my markers shot up in my last lab and a subsequent CT showed a large heterogeneous tumor on one of my adrenal glands. I'm having the tumor and the gland removed next week - pathology will determine what's going on. But the tumor looks encapsulated and all of my hormones are fine (except cortisol is a bit high), so hopefully this is a one-and-done thing.
Posting may be sparse between now and when I get home from the hospital, which is tentatively next Friday. It's hard to predict these things, but I'm hoping for the best.
I'd appreciate prayers, y'all. Not just for me, but for my family - this has been a 15-year battle and it's been really hard on them.
One thing is for sure - I need to get back on track with my health. Over the last couple of years, I let diet and exercise slide. I've also been under insane stress. Stress has gotten better recently, diet is back on track, and once I'm fully healed, I'll be back in the gym. I'm confident I'll be around for a while yet.
One little favor: Please no advice on cures or therapies, at least for now. I appreciate that people want to help, but we have a plan for how to deal with this long-term.
If you want to help, please pray and stick around and keep me company - my favorite thing ever is pet pics, so feel free to cheer me up with replies about your fuzzy companions and what they're up to. If you don't have pets, I'd love to hear about your hobbies.
Thanks, y'all. I appreciate you so much.

@luinalaska Similar exp here - daughter said boy next to her kept touching her arm and shoulder even after she asked him to stop. I told her to ask her teacher to move her bc she felt uncomfortable. Teacher immediately moved her without further questions. Exactly as it should be.
English
The number of people upset that my daughter told me a boy made her uncomfortable in class being in the seat next to her and then I said to the school hey can you follow up and move her seat and they were super supportive and then I asked more questions from my kid and she just said she didn’t have words for why but she didn’t feel good when he talked to her and I’m like ok honey thanks for telling me please always let me know if it gets worse and she said mom I think if I had some space it would feel better and I said cool babe I’m always here and she said thanks mom and I said always honey I love you and then it was never a problem again and life carried on per usual with a child knowing slightly more about expressing needs and having slightly more understanding of her mom’s faith in her intuition.
But some of all felt some kind of way about that. Triggered perhaps.
Mhmmmm…..
Interesting.
Very interesting.

@halstonvalencia I agree. Colossians 1:17 blew my mind in a similar way. “And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
English
The Bible is a physics textbook and no one can convince me otherwise.
Take Psalm 139 for example. It talks all about God’s omnipresence. The author in this chapter writes that no matter where he goes, God is already there. No distance creates separation.
That’s literally quantum entanglement: once two particles connect, they remain correlated instantaneously across any distance, without signal or delay. Scripture described that thousands of years before we had the physics to prove it.
Idk, I just think the Bible has been describing the true nature of reality this whole time and is the most accurate map of existence we’ve ever had. Anyway, happy Sunday :)

@emilykmay Yes - I used to work in a max security forensic psychiatric hospital. It is usually easier to get released from jail than from this type of facility

This is already what happens. If the insanity defense is granted by a jury, the defendant is sentenced to a mental hospital for treatment. They typically remain there for even longer than their prison sentence would have been. This is successfully done about 30x a year in the US.

If someone is guilty of a heinous violent crime and is able to plead insanity, they should go to an asylum, not be released to murder or rape innocent people
