Don't you find it weird that the only reason you're pro-Israel and anti-Hamas is because of your religion, the one in which you worship a god who drowned the entire world because its angels fucked humans, and demands that people fear it, and also one that raped a teenage girl and then maxx-terminated their kid?
You know you Pro-Palestine people are like reddit atheists really unintentionally bigoted and proud of it. Seriously, if you call Jesus' birth rape then I don't know how to respond to your ignorance.

“This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth” —1 John 1:5-6
“Loving Father in heaven, you are faithful and just, you will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness Let your Word be a lamp unto my feet, O God, that I may not walk around in darkness, stumble and fall, but be filled with the light of your glory, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.”

When a man takes one step toward God, He takes more steps toward that man than there are sands in the worlds of time.

Have mercy on me Lord for I am a humble sinner. Make me strong when I am weak and tempted by evil. Walk with me through each and every day. Help me live a God-centered life!

Thy word is a lamp
it delineates my path
in a darkened world
for God is marvelous light
leading me out of shadows.

There is a fundamentalist movement leading the rollbacks in our rights that we've seen recently that believes there is only One Truth and that it is decreed by a God arrayed in the same robes of order, military medals and righteousness that they array themselves in, with flaming eyes and a conquering hand, and that Truth is a single light shining on their faces- for they are the chosen ones who see it, of course -and that it is their duty to shine it on everyone else, and blind us til we have no choice but to bow in submission. But what they can't see is that God is not a conqueror arrayed in flame and violence. God is a prism and the light they claim to see is scattered and reflected through Him in beautiful colors far more complex than they and we could ever fathom. The light falls in the rainforests, the marginalized communities, the streets- every corner of the Earth -and the faces of every single one of us in a thousand different ways that neither side could ever fully hope to capture. The beautiful world and spectrum of humanity that God created and called "very good" cannot be boxed in by suited leaders of men on legislative benches. God is not confined to dusty pages and marble halls where the elite few may walk. God and His creation is far vaster and more beautiful than they want to believe, because it would break every conception of Him that they've built in their minds. To them, radical love is madness, and they are the ordermakers appointed by God to stop it and keep it in line. But God's love has always BEEN madness to the people in power.
There was a man, long ago, who preached radical love to the leaders of his day and they too pronounced him insane, and that to save their followers from this insanity they must put him to death and anyone who preached love like him. They mocked him as they tortured him, and they mocked him even unto his last breath.
And that man was Jesus.
Just something to think about next time a political leader calls radical love a plague or a disease upon society and decrees themself as the God-ordained chosen one who is going to stop it. almost like that's happened before.

Island Lessons...
As I reflect here surrounded by beautiful palm trees, staring at the turquoise blue sea at Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos, I am instantly mindful of the simplicity of life absent the many distractions that accompany regular life. Often as human beings, especially those of us prone to overthinking, we tend to overcomplicate realities and draw conclusions that are not true. We give too much credence…

Today God's majesty will be on display in a big way.
God’s Majesty God’s majesty is going to be awesome today. This is a big day. A solar eclipse. Whoa. I’m looking forward to it, and here in Michigan, we should be able to see it. We have our lawn chairs ready for the driveway and, of course, our special classes. But this whole thing got me thinking. God’s majesty will be on full display tomorrow. When I see this rare event, I will think of our…

Hello hello,
I’m eager to share content with you all! So eager that the words to say constantly jump in and out of brain when I talk about it so I figured, maybe I should just write about it.
I love to type out things as I think them. Who else? You too? I figured. Especially when you have a point to get an across! I know those fingers get to flying and your breath starts to slow down or speed up and then once you’ve said what you had to say, you put the phone down and you take a deep breath because wow- that was a lot.
Are you the type to go back and edit your message or do you just send? Me? I go back and edit, delete, rephrase, and synonymize the heck out of what I just wrote.
I filter my own thoughts, feelings and intentions based on what the person might think or feel when they read this message. Now, in an argument, this is fair. You want to be respectful of the other person. But in life, you have to put the unfiltered version out there and see what comes of it. If it’s a lesson, learn it. If it’s a blessing, nurture it. You will never know unless you put your whole self out there. Your whole true self. Not the filtered ‘find a better word for me’ you. The unapologetic you. The “you” God created you to be. The “you” that doesn’t doubt yourself, that isn’t pessimistic, or is.. but the “you” that notices the doubt and notices when you are talking negatively about yourself or your circumstance and shines light upon it and says, “what are you doing here, you negative little thought? Get out of here, that is not ME.” I’m currently learning this through a book called “Do the New You” by Steven Furtick.
I urge you to read this book, listen to the sermons on Youtube at Elevation Church. More than anything, buy into the mindsets he discusses and make them yours. God is working through me, and he will work through you. Just talk to him, learn about him, believe in him and believe in yourself.
Welcome to Core Sofie! ✨

The goal: is easier said than done... it takes painful work to reach the goal.
"the goal is to be who you really are, as your higher self is truly, and NOT who you may feel like being out of pain, anger, hurt, shame, fatigue, betrayal, desperation, abuse, and defeat. Do not let this ugly world change your essence, and your essence was made in the image of God and His love."

Let God Light Your Life
We discovered this morning when we got up that we had left our lights all in the living room along with the windows open. It was bright and wide open. Even the Christmas lights outside were shining brightly. It happens occasionally. It reminds me of when we had teenagers. We would leave the lights on for them. The older we get the more we like lights on in and around our house especially holiday…

Isaiah 60: A Better Country, A Beautiful City
The sun shall no longer be     your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon     give light to you by night, but the Lord will be your everlasting light, Isaiah 60:19 (NRSVUE) #SecondComing #HeavenlyCity
The final part of Isaiah’s prophecy goes far beyond earthly brilliance. “The sun shall no longer be    your light by day,nor for brightness shall the moon    give light to you by night,but the Lord will be your everlasting light,    and your God will be your glory.Your sun shall no more go down    or your moon withdraw itself,for the Lord will be your everlasting light,    and your days of…
