We Need a little Christmas

by

Two stations in my area change their formats between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I heard the title track to this post while returning from some shopping today:

“In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)”Taiga X_masTaiga X_mas | タマランC103土-西あ55a

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

by

More in my life is going good than not and that is honesty, like when I told a friend that I could have attended services at their house of worship if I had truly wanted to. Of course, I am not the only person causing me to be more honest with myself and others, sometimes I am being held to that. I met my uncle, who generously provided me with quite the library, and aunt for lunch when they were in town on their way to visit family and later I shopped at a second-hand store. By looking west, I realized I could see a dealership for electric vehicles…

Do You Feel Like We Do

by

Regardless of the title, my tendency is to use the Royal we,
so I thought this song was asking if you feel like I do.

“for ‘All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.’
And this word is the good news that was preached to you. (1 Peter 1:24-25)”

For a dozen years, Being Scott Malkinson has certainly impacted me, ‘One Piece’ Showrunner Breaks Down Biggest Changes Made from Manga That Will Be ‘Debated Endlessly’ and I have been sleeping most of the last two days.

(Cr*ppy go Lucky?)

by

Inclined towards pessimism, and Being Scott Malkinson, my feelings can sometimes be misleading about present circumstances in life. Routinely eight percent of any day is spent watching YouTube, today I was encountering many psychology-related topics, especially the Crappy Childhood Fairy.

“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you,
as though something strange was happening.
But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings,
that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. (1 Peter 4:12-13)”

Whirlwind Weekend 072

by

More than ten years ago, when I started this blog, I happily wrote something every five days, then every day, then infrequently, and then not for a year or more. I have only first had a full-time job seven years ago, which has affected how often something new can be found here.

For those who might not know, I have been working at a new place for a different company in an entirely different industry since last January. My LinkedIn profile is dreadfully outdated, and I will not identify my employer on any social media since this headline, lest I be associated with the event, “Arby’s apologizes after employee refuses to serve police officer.”

The new company for whom I work has Good Friday as a paid holiday. Saturday, before I went to the home of Laser Rangers to watch Everything Everywhere All at Once and Top Gun: Maverick, from the Crunchyroll store, arrived Figma Yunyun, a character of whom I am featuring fan-made art! Much time has passed since I put any image of any action figures online.

The host of Laser Rangers also extended an invitation to dinner on Easter Sunday, and I am eternally grateful for the friendship and good times shared with his family. I am also remembering other posts with this title; it’s Rock ‘n Roll to Me.

“For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. (Psalms 94:14-15 ESV)”

Reflections of the History Guy

“For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)”

Yesterday, Sunday, I only went outside twice for the sake of the puppy and nowhere else and accomplished little else. The previous day, I saw ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ and having had too many carbohydrates, Being Scott Malkinson made me sluggish all day along with the food choices I described above. Often I have a general feeling of malaise when I think about my present circumstances and what I am trying to do, yet I was reminded by my supervisor that I am here now, and that encourages.

Hoppy (Happy?) New Year!

by

“Before I can talk to you about everything that’s happened in the past few days,” I have to apologize for the long delay since I have written any post.

“Arby’s apologizes after officer is denied service for being a cop,” an article convinced me a long ago to no longer list my employer on my profile on social media. Until late last year, I was a federal contractor pushing government paperwork for more than six years. After attending a hiring event, and my first bout of covid, I now work in manufacturing, where I have also returned this week after my second bout of covid.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)”Happy Chinese New Year! | 上官绯樱 #pixiv Happy Chinese New Year! | 上官绯樱 #pixiv
