Can you imagine God creating Golgatha? Can you imagine Him forming the hill where His beloved Son would be tortured and killed? His hand sweeping the dust to form solid ground. The rocks settling, the grass growing in patches here and there. Can you imagine His anguish at seeing His beautiful creation being used to destroy His own Son? The pain He must have felt as the cross stabbed the earth? When Mary fell to her knees in the dirt, did He shudder? Did He weep not just for His Son, but the hill He brought into existence? Can you imagine the despair and pain? Can you imagine?

What about the cross?

He plants this lovely tree, lets it grow tall and strong, all so it can be chopped down to form the cross that His son is nailed to.

Every spring leaf sprouting, every autumn burst of color all for the day it will be the death of the Lord's Son.

Ok this one hurt

[taniismean]

Imagine God creating Golgatha, the tree that would become the cross, the tree that would become the whipping post, for that matter, and yes, it had to have broken His heart…

But then He creates the rock that would be carved into the tomb, knowing it wouldn’t be occupied for long. Then He so gently shapes the stone, knowing it would roll away.

Is your current last name indicative of your heritage? Y/N (maybe add a "I don't know" but that's up to you) @apolladay :)

Sort of. My current (married) last name is German, but I’m more Norwegian than anything else. I’m a little German, a little English, and a little “IDK” (probably Italian or Greek)

[taniismean]

Nope lol

I took my husband’s name, so it’s definitely his Dutch heritage. My own heritage is basically Dr Pepper: 23 flavors, baby

WRITERS OF TUMBLR

What do we think of Novelium? Has anyone tried it? Would you recommend it?

[holyloved]

I've been awake for an hour.. I've been hungry the entire time.. the husband has me trapped in an embrace.. help

[holyloved]

30 seconds after writing this post he released me.. I've acquired the snacks.. God sees your needs/desires and answers 🤣🤣 The husband is still conked out beside me

[taniismean]

Every single morning 😅

Do you know why God decided snakes should have no arms and no legs? To remind us the enemy has been dis-armed and de-feeted!

I love God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen because it has a somewhat somber and ominous tone but the lyrics are literally telling of the reason for comfort and joy and freedom from Satan's power because the Son of God is born. It WILL be ok so long as you trust in Him, there is no other outcome. It ia the essence of what I mean about how deeper joy is found in the serious and the somber. A lot of Christmas Hymns are like that.

I have the patience of a saint unfortunately the saint in question is Peter.

Everyone talks about Belle’s cameo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but nobody talks about the Belle/bell pun it presents.

Taking my husband's last name feels like the biggest flex. Like 1. It's a cool last name and 2. It's legally now MY last name.. like what? I introduce myself as this now.. and no one knows my maiden name?? Wild.

[taniismean]

No kidding! My husband’s last name is a lot more fun to just… roll off the tongue than my maiden name.

Does everyone pronounce it right on their first try? No, but that’s okay.

[holyloved]

Funny enough our pastor pronounced my maiden name wrong during our ceremony 🤣 everyone and their mama's mispronounce my maiden name.. my married name however isn't so hard, especially for those who speak Spanish ;p

[taniismean]

Ah, solidarity! Our pastor had a little trouble with the married name, but I get it. It throws a lot of people off 😅

Friendly reminder that the Republicans in Congress have passed a clean CR (a bill that would reopen the government and continue funding it exactly as it was being funded before the shutdown, no cuts, no additions) and all that is needed is for Democrats in the Senate to vote yes.

When people lose their SNAP benefits on Saturday, it is solely the fault of the Democrats.

It’ll be the first time that Democrats have actually taken away a welfare program…who’d’ve guessed that one?

Real! According to Newsweek:

Harry Pavulaan, an avocational entomologist and president and director of the The Taxonomic Report, which publishes research on butterflies and moths, made the decision to name the butterfly after Zarutska.

The butterfly is called Iryna’s Azure and mainly flies in April in South Carolina. Pavulaan published a report about the butterfly back in September, which explains that the butterfly features light-blue wings on its top or side, but can also have a “distinct violet-blue tint.” Though the insect was first spotted in South Carolina back in 1985, it was not officially named.

DDI reference in CUR

So in CUR, when Nancy says bye to Loulou the parrot there are times where she says “Bob’s your uncle!”.

And the Bob that was mentioned was none other than Katie Firestone’s uncle. The same uncle Bob that has been mentioned in her calendar for his birthday on the 25th. 

[nanshe-of-nina]

“Bob’s your uncle” is a common phrase used in the UK that is used to indicate that something’s very easy, like “piece of cake” or “no problem.”

[taniismean]

Doesn’t the saying come from the name of a politician way-back-when? Or am I remembering that funny?
