The most wholesome thing I've ever seen in a church in the conservative south: the second in command sneaking up on his oldest son after service, slapping the back of his neck, yelling "REDNECK!!!" and running away giggling like Stewie from Family Guy.

Wedding day pt.3

The church bells rang as the brothers pulled up to the little churchhouse. Their grandfather had built it years ago for their Nan. Toby, their uncle, had also found out that the old man had buried his son's biological father in a crypt underneath the alter. The man's remains were then later buried in the hedge garden.

But now was a time for rejoicing, not dredging up haunted memories, left better forgotten.

Nash and Grayson stepped out of one of the SUVs, while Xander and Jameson got out of the other. Walking single file, with Nash in the lead, they proceeded into the building.

The pews only sat a few people, mostly family members and a few friends. Nan, Aunt Zara and her husband. Thea, Rebecca, and her grandparents. Xander's dad and Jameson's Uncle were also in attendance. Grayson's half-sisters had come as well. Alsia, who was also the wedding planner, had already found her spot. Oren would arrive with the bride and bridesmaids soon. The priest stood at the front, near the alter, while a piano player sat on the bench, ready to play.

There were no ringbearers or flower girls, so the walkway had been littered with black and white rose petals hours before the ceremony.

It was five minutes till the appointed time. Libby, with her bridesmaids, would be here any minute.

Walking down the isle way, they arrived toward the front. Taking his place next to Nash's right, Grayson noticed Nash fiddling with the cuffs of the shirt. Grayson was a little surprised to see that. His brother was so laid back. Getting married was probably the only thing that could make Nash Hawthorne fidgety.

Taking a deep breath, Nash waited. The five minutes felt like an eternity. But finally, he heard the sound of wheels. He watched as the pianist got ready to play. The doors opened with a dramatic flare.

His bride had arrived.

Excerpt from a piece I wrote earlier this month

Daddy handled the snakes. Not all the time, but often enough that ain’t nobody doubted he was blessed and as I grew I remember others comin’ to him for blessings of their own.

He was right friendly with the pastor Percy Thomas, who everybody knew was the most blest of us all.

Him and a barely handful of the other men was the deacons, and the deacons was the ones who tended the snakes, and watched the boxes during preachin’ in case the fire of the holy spirit came over one a the worshipers and they was called to come forward and raise a rattler or a cottonmouth (amen).

On saturday nights the deacons would all meet up the hill where the whitewashed Cisthene Holiness churchhouse peeked out the pines to look to the snakes and get ‘em ready for the service. Auntie said great gran’daddy helped raise the church, and that it ended up bein’ the death of him that granny never went in it.

That’s my mama’s mama by the way. After gran’daddy got outta the navy he brought his new wife - and granny was a pretty little thing auntie always said, pretty to the day she died - back up the mountain t’live and raise a family. She wouldn’t set foot across the threshold of that church in life, and when her time came to pass she didn’t get in the family plot, gran’daddy had to take her and lay her to rest by a streambed somewhere across the hills.

He never told where he laid her.

Churchhouse Blues

Behind the pews,

And the rows of candles,

And the garnished silver altar with its five bright stars,

And the cloying mould,

There’s a rat trap,

Shining with the manna of the kingdoms of heaven,

Where a little grey mouse

Gives up its Holy Ghost at last.

Alma Chapter 38. "The Lions of Justice."

The commandments of Alma to his son Shiblon.

Comprising chapter 38.

Shiblon was persecuted for righteousness’ sake—Salvation is in Christ, who is the life and the light of the world—Bridle all your passions. About 74 B.C. "insolence" continues.

The 24 Plates are a "Holy Grail" of sorts, a quest we must pursue in order to free the American People from the very grip of death and darkness caused by immense intolerable corruption in our government for centuries. All the hallmarks of hell are present: liars, cheaters, pedophiles, freaks, bigots, and assholes.

Our government is rife with specialists in causing poverty, fear, war, and longing in their own people. They have to be shipped out. It has been this way for too long.

We don't yet know the contents on the Plates but all of a sudden there is a list of Commandments made to Shiblon, "the Lion of Restoration."

Now you know that a lion in Judaism is a creature without enemies. It represents the predation of the law upon the unjust. Like the Republican Party and its spooky religious allies.

The law says we don't have to sit here and wait while weirdoes try turn the Capitol Building into a churchhouse jailhouse for people they don't happen to like. The Republican Party is not a fact of life, it is not required by law, it is not part of nature, it is completely optional, and it is corrupt and it can go at any time.

The annals of history have said: to force a people to be taxed by their own abusers is slavery and if war is needed to put an end to such a situation, then war is needed.

But first, we must follow logic and make a case based in the utmost of reason why we, the oppressed and our oppressors, the Republicans must part ways. And this is exactly what the Book of Mormon is for.

In the previous chapter of Alma the Book of Mormon says something called a secret combination, which the Republicans are very good at, is forbidden. A secret combination consisting of faith leaders, the Party, and well known industry personalities cheated in the 2016 Election. Donald Trump was illegally sworn in then he began committing atrocities, starting with a genocide against Central American immigrants, Muslims, and LGBTQ persons. This has not yet been addressed. It must be addressed. We simply have to embrace the pain and suffering our wayward government allowed to happen and then turned its back towards. Filth - illegal filth- like Rob DeSantis are the consequence of negligence such as this.

It tells the world and its vermin we are open for filthy business here in America, and anything goes. Which it has, trust me.

President Biden has to explain what he is going to do about it and what he is going to to prevent election frauds, genocides and apartheids spearheaded by secret combinations within the American Governemnt ever again. There is an election coming up, but there is just enough time for him to do this and make us feel all warm and snug going in.

Now, we can't just count to 24 every time the Narrator says we've reached a do or a don't. There are way too many in the entire Book, but we should be able to make some guesses and then one day circle back and draw firmer conclusions.

First, I would say with confidence, God says, "thou shalt not make of the government, the church, and the people a Secret Combination", which whould appear on the Temporal Plate.

Now the for the Commandments given to Shiblon:

1 My son, give ear to my words, for I say unto you, even as I said unto Helaman, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land; and inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God ye shall be cut off from his presence.

2 And now, my son, I trust that I shall have great joy in you, because of your steadiness and your faithfulness unto God; for as you have commenced in your youth to look to the Lord your God, even so I hope that you will continue in keeping his commandments; for blessed is he that endureth to the end.

3 I say unto you, my son, that I have had great joy in thee already, because of thy faithfulness and thy diligence, and thy patience and thy long-suffering among the people of the Zoramites, "apostates".

4 For I know that thou wast in bonds; yea, and I also know that thou wast stoned for the word’s sake; and thou didst bear all these things with patience because the Lord was with thee; and now thou knowest that the Lord did deliver thee.

5 And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

6 Now, my son, I would not that ye should think that I know these things of myself, but it is the Spirit of God which is in me which maketh these things known unto me; for if I had not been born of God I should not have known these things.

7 But behold, the Lord in his great mercy sent his angel to declare unto me that I must stop the work of destruction among his people; yea, and I have seen an angel face to face, and he spake with me, and his voice was as thunder, and it shook the whole earth.

8 And it came to pass that I was three days and three nights in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul; and never, until I did cry out unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, did I receive a remission of my sins. But behold, I did cry unto him and I did find peace to my soul.

9 And now, my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is ano other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.

10 And now, as ye have begun to teach the word even so I would that ye should continue to teach; and I would that ye would be diligent and temperate in all things.

11 See that ye are not lifted up unto pride; yea, see that ye do not boast in your own wisdom, nor of your much strength.

12 Use boldness, but not overbearance; and also see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love; see that ye refrain from idleness.

13 Do not pray as the Zoramites do, for ye have seen that they pray to be heard of men, and to be praised for their wisdom.

14 Do not say: O God, I thank thee that we are better than our brethren; but rather say: O Lord, forgive my unworthiness, and remember my brethren in mercy—yea, acknowledge your unworthiness before God at all times.

15 And may the Lord bless your soul, and receive you at the last day into his kingdom, to sit down in peace. Now go, my son, and teach the word unto this people. Be sober. My son, farewell.

The list of possibilities now includes:

Be Temperate.

Do not be prideful.

Do be confident.

Bridle your desires.

Do not be idle.

Do not pray in public.

Pray for worthiness.

Teach these things to the people.

Do be sober.

As for the Three Days and Nights mentioned and how they pertain to the Word of God and the remission of sin, we need to turn to Gematria because these are references to complicated memes mentioned in the Torah, which are couched in Hebrew.

= 1042, אאֶפֶסד‎ב, Aepsdev, "pass on the words."

The masculine noun אפע ('epa') of unclear meaning. It occurs only in Isaiah 41:24, where it describes the inevitable fate of worthless work. BDB Theological Dictionary insists that this word came about due to a scribal error, and should actually say אפס ('epes), meaning a ceasing, but it rather describes a fad that may have gotten some traction but eventually fades out due to its lack of practical applicability.

The masculine noun אפעה ('epa'a), which at first sight appears to describe a kind of viper (Job 20:16, Isaiah 30:6 and 59:5 only). But since the entire Bible describes human mentality, psychology, sociology and the quest for the knowledge of the laws of nature, the snake describes mental herd behavior: the believing and passing on of something, simply because it entices or in this case fills with dread rather than stand up against falsification. Note that this noun is identical to the form the verb assumes in Isaiah 42:14.

Dev= "the words."

If we make a national habit of following the words and commandments above and stabilize our destinies, we will have more than just hope of living in a place free of oppression, it will become a reality.

Government entails professional management of the well-being of the people. It is not religion, it consists not of opinion, it is the paid work effort prescribed by the people for their benefit.

If you want to opinionate and philosophize about these things, go work on a talk show. Otherwise, elected public officials are expected to do their jobs.

First the Republican Party, the filth, a ripe rank secret combination has to go. Tell President Biden and the working, trustworthy members of Congress and the Department of Justice you expect this to be done today. The bodies can be put where they belong, on the Springfield Tire Fire.

Consider blood hunter, artificer, or dhampir options during character creation. Related: Dungeons & Dragons: Every Journey Through The Radiant Citadel Adventure And Its Real-World Inspiration The Fiend Of Hollow Mine – San Citlánīounty hunters and cursed villagers give you the prompt to create characters outside of the player’s handbook. Work with your DM to see if you can create the backstory of an antagonist who still helps the party. These are the perfect setup for an antagonist, possibly working with one of the gods or antagonizing the families of the Rattle. The deities of the Covenant gods have begun rewarding their individual followers instead of working together as they try to ensure they won’t become sacrifices. The Rattle is an area constantly under some form of trouble. The Ribbon farmland is infested with blight. Paved streets, schools, storehouses, and churchhouses present players with options for unique, more vibrant characters in this setting. Work with your DM to create a backstory that can implant your character in the middle of the city. You can create a character from Promise who understands the land, its traditions, and the most revered stories. The annual Awakening Festival is held in Promise, which is where the different communities of Godsbreath congregate. The town of Promise creates multiple opportunities When fleshing out your backstory decide whether your ancestors were a part of saving the land from originally being plundered? Having one of your stories shared by the Proclaimers of the Covenant is a huge honor consider what kind of stories you might have told or would have your character tell of past actions. Consider making one of those deities your warlock patron. You can also create a character who devoutly worships those deities. You can create a character who doesn’t believe the passed-down stories of the deities that save them. The land was named after the gods who helped save it. If so, where did you get them? Is what you’re selling illegal? How did you come across it? What does your local clientele look like? Are you selling some never before seen wares in the market? When creating a character, determine what could make you stand out in a bustling, lively market. You can have your character be part of a family with an established rivalry and determine how far it escalated.Ĭonversely, you can work in alliance with one of the main families from the adventure, swaying the party to help one cause over another.Ĭonsider what your character can bring to the Dyn Singh Market Alliances form between families as quickly as rivalries. The concept of Salted Legacy revolves around familial rivalries within the central market. Work with your DM to cultivate an appropriate culture and backstory from one of these areas.Ĭreate or incorporate an allied or rival family The Silver Carp Farm, Lyng Forest, and Temple of Ember can create some unique experiences for a character from Siabsungkoh. The Outer Edges border the mountain, and communities are connected via roads. There are several communities within the rural areas of Siabsungkoh, specifically in the Outer Edges. The bioluminescent lau-pop flower that illuminates the mountains in blue-purple light might need someone who understands how they work and can sell them at the “Dancing Night Market.”Ĭonsider the outer regions of Siabsungkoh You may understand the legends of the area and the five ruling families, or you may live outside of the area and have never had the opportunity to visit the market before.ĭetermine what your family are experts inįrom the rare plants and animals of the region to specific food, every family in the market is an expert at something. Whether your character has never been to the market itself or you’re a regular, incorporating the Dyn Sing Market into your backstory can allow you to understand the market’s inner workings.

“After a 26-year process of review and editing by a team of native speakers, the written translation of the Gullah New Testament, based on an oral language, was finally published. Gullah, also known as Geechee, is the language of descendants of enslaved West Africans who were brought to communities that are known today as the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor for the production of rice, cotton and indigo. Gullah/Geechee culture and people are located in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida.“

Essa linda casa que foi uma Igreja na Espanha pertence ao fotógrafo Tas Careaga. Assim que vi a reportagem fiquei totalmente alucinada pelas fotos. Essa pequena igreja do meio do século 16 passou por várias obras eclesiásticas, incluindo alterações no pé direito e estilo arquitetônico mas transforma-la em um lar é o mais incrível de todos. Do abandono ao luxo de um loft descolado. No perfil do Tas no "destaques" tem vários momentos da obra. Desliza para ver os detalhes. .
