@discreteideas i view prayer ropes as somewhat of a middle-point between eastern meditation and western prayer beads. practically, they are very similar, but we usually only repeat the Jesus prayer (much like the kyrie eleison). prayer ropes can also have many shapes, some even coming in bracelet form

i have a story that isn't worth a whole blog post but i have to share:
there is a BAD covid outbreak at work (i work at a school.) a kid was antagonizing a girl in class today. they had to play a game in pairs, and they had to share an eraser. he kept ripping it out of her hands, so she picked it up and LICKED it so he wouldn't mess with it anymore. literal biological warfare.

Just added a drop down list so that visitors can browse the blog by topic. Was interesting trying to think of a title for each of my posts.

As I understand it, JRR Tolkien was a contributor to the original version of the Jerusalem Bible (in English). It is a joy to read.

Ah I didn't know that. I have only read the extracts printed in that booklet but yes it is a very poetic translation. Maybe that will be my next bible purchase.

I'm referring to the original English translation, not the revised translation that was produced some years later. Tolkien was involved in producing the original. I believe it was published in the 1960s or 1970s. It's out of print now, but used copies can still be found.

long story short, i got a really bad infection (not like, influenza; it was a skin infection that almost reached my bloodstream.) im doing a lot better!! but it was scary. luckily i've been blessed with some great friends who've supported me since. plus, i started going to church again, and i have a new circle there :) i wish it didn't happen, but i am recovering well!

I have this status box, but sometimes I can’t think of what to write in it. Hmmm"
Shower thought: "can't think of my status" is a status:)

i relate to your first blog post sm... i don't know what good it does to post on my blog or have a presence here, but it scratches an itch. sometimes it's just good to get your thoughts out there, whether you feel like you have anything profound to say or not!!

Thank you as well! Yes, I've been sort of scratching my head wondering what I should talk about next, but it is nice to be able to just...get it all out there regardless, hehe. And ofc, go right ahead! I actually just used a graphic I found on glitter-graphics and attached a link to it, so it's nothing super fancy >w<

Thankyou! I agree, Francis' tomb simply has an enlarged version of this cross above it which I thought was very moving.

i like your take on this issue - i do like most theological views that put Christ first and center :) it wasn't until Jesus that humankind could truly know God, so perhaps it is better to take the Old Testament as a foretelling of Christ, and not a "treatise" on who/what/how God is
So how do you recouncile this genocide story in the old testament with your understanding of God and morality?
Absolutely. And I think it changes from book to book. Chapter to chapter. Sometimes I think we read a very direct foretelling of Christ. Other times it does seem to be more a historical account of the Jewish people
@rainight. As a history of what a group of people did, perhaps whilst thinking God commanded it. But I have no issue saying that what was recorded in this story was obviously immoral and clearly contradicts the teachings of Christ
