Good morning, #nostriches!

Life is weird right now.

After way too much food (and too much crappy hospital food) this month, I took a break and have been fasting since Christmas evening. I likely won't go a full 48 hours, but, I'll break my fast at lunch today. Being able to fast is a physical superpower. I will also be fasting on Saturday, not for physical reasons, and I really don't like to use the word "spiritual" as it is correct but has been hijacked, in my opinion. Anyway... Not needing food so often is useful and beneficial in my limited experience.

Anyway, it's 1*F here, and I'm the first one up in the house so I got the wood stove going. Have some ambiance:

Or not. The video is too large. Here's a Pic so you get the idea.

Or not. Blah. Whatever.

Anyway... Happy Friday! I hope.

Gm, glad to hear from you and that you're doing okay. Things have been weird with my life at this time of year, for years, so I can relate.

🙏Spiritual has definitely been co-opted by people who don't know they need Jesus (insert silly GIF here):

The Beave 1y ago

Yup. And I can't exactly fault them, especially in US. I've been learning more church history and I'm just SO effing done with the modern evangelical churches in the US. I don't blame people for looking at that and going "ew. Nope."

Here is to hoping next year is at least less worse than previous years. I'm not supposed to say that, but... That's exactly what I'm thinking right now.

Yup. I grew up Lutheran, who are huge evangelicals. For me practicing personal faith is better than organized religion. I also sometimes enjoy small group Bible reading and discussion, but big church stuff turns me off most of the time.

Re: Your last paragraph, I wasn't sure what you meant, so I hope your new year brings whatever you want.

*sighs*

It is more complicated than I can explain yet. I'm supposed to be acting in faith. I'm having a really hard time with that. In fact, the whole concept pisses me off. 🤷‍♂️😑😡

beejay 1y ago

You don't have to explain ☺️👍

The Beave 1y ago

I would if you want me to. Or, I would try.

beejay 1y ago

No worries. Maybe next time you feel like venting, just email it to me lol

The Beave 1y ago

I may just do that. It's super complicated and evolving though, so I'm not sure where I'd even start.

beejay 1y ago

Ha ha I get that.

The Beave 1y ago

And thank you.

Gm, how is your mom doing? Fasting sounds like a good idea, if your vessel needs to be cleaned and cleared...

Take good care and be mindful with what and how to break your fast.

Thought of you this morning, as my mom wrote to me, that yesterday she was able to go out for a walk for a whole hour! And today went to the shop near by bike. This is a huge milestone and it makes me happy to hear this. She'll get a second heart surgery in the third week of January...

Thank you, Sir. 1y ago
