I had a conversation with a “Christian” and it went rather horribly. They called immigrants “shits” and terrorists. All immigrants. They claimed immigrants were the reason for Christian persecution, and that God wants us to lift the sword and kill those who persecute us. They proudly boasted of how much they loved God while in the same breath wanting to kill in His name. The lack of love and compassion was unnerving to say the least.

Friends, please remember that those who live by the sword shall die by it. Not once when the apostles faced persecution did they slaughter their persecutors. Rather, they went to their deaths proudly bearing the name of Christ- and this caused MANY more to be saved in His holy name. When the world sees you act in violence, they only see worldlings ready to kill in the name of Jesus. But when they see us love our enemies, pray for our persecutors, and stand unafraid of who can take this life from us- that is what makes people of the world come to Christ.

If your answer to persecution is to return violence for violence, you are standing against Christ, not with Him. Those who seek to save their lives here will lose them. But those who lose their lives for the sake of the gospel shall gain them.

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

“The Last Danny”

so for my french class we have to read this book about a dying child who is encouraged by a hospital volunteer to write letters to God. and my teacher was talking about how God in the book is not a detached, wish-granting deity of religion, but is rather a friend to the child, someone whom the child could share his feelings with.

and i was like:

my brother in Christ wait till you find out about God in real life

Don't get it twisted. Jesus didn't hang out with prostitutes because He approved of their lifestyle. He engaged with them - He loved them! - because they were in desperate need of a Savior. Real love doesn't tolerate sin. Real love holds you in His arms and asks, "Child, why do you keep hurting yourself like this?"

I will say it once again.

You cannot be a "Christian Witch". Those two things are inherently incompatible. Christianity means relying completely on God, ceding control of your own life to His divine plan, trusting in His providence and Fatherly Love. Witchcraft means trying to manipulate both the natural and supernatural world to domineer control of what you think they should be.

You cannot serve two masters.

Thank you and goodnight.

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #5

Update 0 | Update 1 | Update 2 | Update 3 | Update 4 | Here | Update 6

Update on my crochet skirt! All granny squares were completed, blocked AND sewn together! And it looks fantastic!

I bought lining fabric for the skirt, but honestly I don't think it will be needed!

What IS needed now though, is to weave in all those ends 😰 I also need to make the waistband.

The skirt is the width of my hips (9 squares) so I need to gradually cinch in the waist (there's a word for it in crochet, but it's not coming to mind) I also want to crochet around the bottom edge to 'clean up' the hem.

Still a lot of work, but I can't wait to finish and wear it!

The final piece! To be honest, I don't like her. She didn't have any planning behind her, so that didn't help. But I wanted to finally finish her and post her, so here you go!

Because she's so boring, I decided against recording her for YouTube. I made another, more exciting piece for the video instead. I'll post it up sometime this month.

New art! A slightly annoyed and dressy young girl! I'm actually recording her process for my youtube channel. I may post it here once it's up.

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #3

Update 0 | Update 1 | Update 2 | Here | Update 4 | Update 5 | Update 6

Coming down to the last 6 squares for each colour! I've been weaving in all the ends as I complete each square using this needle I got in an assorted needle set. I have those plastic needles, but the eye holes are too big to go through my stitches. I need a threader (the yellow thing) to thread this needle, but other than that, it works like a dream!
