Word of the Day:逡巡
Well, we'll see if they hop on board. I do have a lot of things I need to do before my Patreon looks legit for Commissions, but I also need to do a lot for my own project.

The Anatomy of a "Quick" Fix
It began at 3:14 AM on a Tuesday. The world was silent, except for the rhythmic, mocking tick-tick-tick emanating from the drywall behind the upstairs toilet. Most men—sane men, men with hobbies like woodworking or extreme taxidermy—would have heard that sound and thought, "Ah, the house is settling." They would have rolled over and dreamt of lumber, or other very-capable type of man things... not me.

Word of the Day: 漸進
There was a pool party that I was supposed to go to, but I wasn't ready and then someone wired me a million dollars from a friend.

Word of the Day:寵愛
One thing that Asians and Slavics have taught me: Comfort is the lie. As soon as you accept the bribe, or have a false sense of comfort, that is when the hunters prey on you.

The Version of Me That Stayed
I didn't recognize the city at first. It looked exactly like mine. It had the same skyline, same train lines cutting through the same tired neighborhoods but, everything felt quieter. Too quiet, like something had been removed from space.

Word of the Day:隘路
I am already a day ahead so, I actually can afford to run errands finally. That is sort of amazing at this point. I am mostly a cat, but if I were a dog, I'd be a lone wolf... though I guess whether you're a cat or dog, you eventually find your kind again.

Word of the Day:乖離
So basically, I am annoyed again. I want to say some other word. I would love to describe myself in a different way but I can't unfortunately.

Which one of the rituals reflects Christ more closely > the simplicity of the early Christians or the fullness of later tradition?!-P6
In the Gospels, the Temple leadership had become a world of its own. It had ranks, special garments, sacred spaces only certain people could enter, and a sense of distance between the “holy” and the ordinary. Jesus walked into that world and challenged it, not because the Temple itself was evil, but because the system had become more important than the God it was supposed to reveal.

The official teaching says Mary is a saint, the greatest of saints, and that believers ask her to intercede. But the lived reality often looks different. People speak to her as if she has her own power to act, to heal, to intervene. And when you combine that with the emotional devotion, the icons placed in the center, the candles, the bowing, the kissing, it’s easy to see why it feels like she has been elevated to a place the New Testament never gives her.

Well, ‘’worshipping the objects or the ritual itself instead ’’= they do that actually. You can tel me what you want. But they do make- ‘likenesses- and bent to that ‘likenesses’’- the icons. And kiss them as something sacred. And the Bible book itself. And the hand of the priest.

The Eastern Catholic Churches (like the Greek Catholics, Maronites, Melkites) also kept these prayers, because their liturgy is very close to the Orthodox one.
