Hi 😊 I came across your profile and couldn’t help but notice your calm and classy vibe.

It feels like there’s a whole culture behind that kind of decency??

I know this is a bot but I still don't understand what these words mean.

If you’ve never watched this video about Jesus’ death and resurrection, I highly encourage you to do so as we commemorate Good Friday.  It’s a well-done short, done in anime-style by a studio in Japan, and I think effectively portrays some of what that day may have been like.  Even if you aren’t Christian, I think it’s worth the watch.

If only Judas would have waited to see what came from his deception. What those three days could have done for his eternity.

Honestly the most tragic part of the whole bible, imo.

If he'd waited just a few days he'd have been forgiven every bit as much as Peter.

Imagine what kind of gospel the man who came back from that would have written.

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Wherever you are, Lyra my little summer star, I love you always! Thank you for being the best thing in my life.
