Holmes & Watson

Reviews, or at least headlines, have not been kind to the film of the same name as this post and I can personally relate since I said something and someone (with whom I used to work at the pizza place) unfriended me, a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - totsiens - until we meet again: Messenger is the best way to tell you once were friends on Facebook.

“You and a super intelligent snail both get $10 million dollars and you both become immortal, however you die if the snail touches you and it follows you for the rest of your existence. What’s your plan?”

On Christmas Day, someone had shared that to the Rooster Teeth community group and I responded, “Are you a god?

No.

Then... DIE!” a quote from Ghostbusters, which provoked a negative reaction, so their post is gone and an unrelated friend has unfriended me.

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,
for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)”

Happy New Year 2019!! by RenoKim

‘Chris, stop texting people in the middle of the night „Wenn man mit das Auto geht, oder wenn man VW fährt, fühlt man sich Fahrvergnügen, allerdings weiß ich nur, wie man das Fahrvergnügen tanzt‟ everyone keeps asking me why you are texting them in the middle of the night keeping them awake.’

Friendship is Magic: The Gathering, Part 2

Much time has passed since I last played ‘Magic: The Gathering,’ yet my friend Travis has an interest in learning the game, so elder statesman Scott has been teaching him; we all met up after I gave a ride to another friend to the bus station downtown, and hung out with Josh. We were at the restaurant a little later than usual and attracted attention from some fellow players, who just might join us in a couple weeks.

For today, a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - Noel - Christmas.

And you can count on me to be there by your side by Lucy-tan

“And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ (Luke 2:10-12)”

The best, the best, the best of Yule?

“Mother’s Basement” continues to inform our viewing and Zombie Land Saga continues to be one of the best of the season:

The persistence of the main character in the face of bad luck tugs my Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - heartstrings - the deepest feelings

Choirs of Winter by mirrored sea

“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. (Galatians 4:4-5)”

The Second Part

A week ago, after work, I journeyed up north to wish a happy birthday to Joe, and today is my sister’s Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - hibernal - of or relating to winter:

“Time is running out for the deliciously seasoned,
perfectly grilled spicy Chorizo. Taste the hype for yourself.

Get it today in your burrito (or taco, bowl, quesadilla etc.) while supplies last.”

“‘He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom, there will be no end.’ (Luke 1:32-33)”

Secret of My Excess

An inspired Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - supplicate - to pray humbly:

“Your car insurance has increased,
‘Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live’”

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD,
when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch,
and he shall reign as king and deal wisely,
and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely.
And this is the name by which he will be called:
‘The LORD is our righteousness.’ (Jeremiah 23:5-6)”

-Winter- by Heddopen

The Loss

Six years ago, the day before my mother passed away, I read this passage to her.

grog’s scribbles — Okay fine, I drew her too. All the new Pokemon...

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was at the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. (John 1:1-3)”

Trapped in My Mind

To admit that I was being a jerk can be difficult, especially with my sister, but I was a jerk this week to a friend on Facebook, who later unfriended me. To deny my contribution to the situation would deny myself an opportunity to grow and learn.

My viewing on YouTube led to “Charisma on Command, ‘We make videos to help you learn how to be more confident, how to make people laugh, how to be more likable’,” a pitch for a series on self-improvement. My comment was a factual statement but based on tearing down people when good humor flatters and edifies.

“Judah is a lion’s cub; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down; he crouched as a lion and as a lioness; who dares rouse him? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. (Genesis 49:9-10)”

“How Jordan Peterson Wins An Argument,” which I have always wanted to know how to do, shows one should first expound on points of agreement in order to further a discussion.

Cute…

Powerless broken Disenchantment

“Hell has no fury like a woman scorned,” so I was reminded on Tuesday.

“Barack Obama is no longer president, Hillary Clinton did not win the presidential election of 2016, and Claire McCaskill will not be a senator in Missouri as of January of 2019,” was how I responded to the following:

“Y‘all. Tell me your good news. Something. Anything. Just be positive. Comments. Go,” she had entreated on facebook.

To unfriend me is one thing, but reporting my posts before you do is vindictive

Her name reeks like taint, just like Sarah Silverstone, and Clinton.

“And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you,
as you did it to one of the least of these,
my brothers, you did it to me.’ (Matthew 25:40)”

Goblin Slayer by realrhebok

To get even with me for what I said, she shared links to my blog to friends and lied to Facebook when she reported them five times. Now, my site has been blacklisted from Facebook. Yeah, it’s really funny.

“Egocentric Universe: She’ll be comin’ ‘round the Mountain,” where I resigned myself to the inevitable election of Hillary Clinton to the presidency, mirrors feeling as powerless as I do now; I can do nothing, I have no help from a biased and rigging reporting system, and I am nothing; I can slay no goblins.

Stare at important Water

The federal government and financial markets were closed, so Josh and I had the day off and hung out until three in the morning. Later, Bennigan and I went to see ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet.’

CNN literally trashed President Trump for giving respects to President George H.W. Bush.

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief,
and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, (2 Peter 3:10)
and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved,
and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.”

What do you know 046

“Y‘all. Tell me your good news. Something. Anything. Just be positive. Comments. Go,” entreated a friend on facebook.

My initial response was how certain Democrats are no longer in office, but I realized one of my shortcomings, which is better than it sounds. I was looking at a screenshot from the RoosterTeeth community group on Facebook and could see only a spelling mistake and did not understand the context of what was being said; comparing a raven devouring something to the depiction of a Velociraptor in Jurassic Park.

If you can imagine one of these things as a velociraptor debowling you, how much worse would it be to have the damn thing mimicking your screams back at you as it does it? Yes~ these are the things I think about. https://t.co/EDWHjGGEsU

If I could fall / Into the sky

“Would you like to come over for Sunday Night Football tomorrow? Steelers vs. Chargers,” entreated Aaron; however, Bennigan and I first watched Patema Inverted.

“A young girl, from a civilization that resides in deep underground tunnels, finds herself trapped in an inverted world and teams up with a resident to escape and return home,” which is less about The Upside Down than about cooperation and trying to understand a another point of view.

“Only fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart.
For consider what great things he has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:24)”

As Miss Beelzebub Likes it, could also be a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - shrievalty - the office, term, or jurisdiction of a sheriff.

“Banished from Heaven, Beelzebub rules over Pandemonium where former angels that turned into demons work. One day, Beelzebub gets a new attendant named Mullin. Beelzebub seems wise and cool... but she’s actually a girl that loves fluffy things! Mullin is shocked at this revelation but still tries to get closer to Beelzebub every day. They are surrounded by various other unique and clumsy demons, and in this story might be about the demons giving a certain emotion a name... maybe.”

“But you, O LORD, reign forever; (Lamentations 5:19)
your throne endures to all generations.”
