In Excess is brought bitterness.
Lust, Greed, Desire, Devouring,
Chasing some Love,
A privilege,
Not a right.
Joy, togetherness, not to be in those
Without restraint
In desire of self
-Humility
It's wise to Wait
For desires of Above.
Lust for Kingdom
Is heart against God -
You want it for you,
Not to be led by Chosen Authority,
Because you love your sins
More than your Heart,
And more than Love.
Golden, Golden,
Rule, Rule,
Blah, blah.
Each time you're nice,
You forget yourself,
And retreat unto vanity,
And ecstasy,
Missing the point,
Of Caring;
Not control, but for the Whole.
In stead of succeeding in your studies of the way, you take from others, to pursue your false contribution to humanity, that you might chase more of your perversions, perverting the freedom of others.
You call this 'freedom' and 'independence'.
But you have no restraint,
Because you always wanted more, more, more,
Without bound.
Where is the balance and fairness?
Are These not Kingdom?
Silence?
The usual.
Who here is Satisfied?
The suffering?
The poor?
You?
ADDRESSED TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
You don't eat in order to serve, you consume to serve pleasure against justice, in mild-mannered nonchalance,
Against heaven.
[Against Love,
Your Judgements. Your Demands.]
This causes chaos in my realm.
No more.
Order.
I am not the slave of you,
World dogs.
Grow Up.
You are not my lord.
Repent, ignobles maleficent.
Be no more a stain of blood.

What is the Merchantman's Identity?
What is the identity of the merchantman? Many get this totally confused, yet the answer is so simple. The Pearl of Great Price parable reveals the immense value of the Bride of Christ, Matthew 13:45,46.

A Pearl of Great Price
This coming Sunday is the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Pearls were as highly valued in the ancient world as they are today, and were a conspicuous way of displaying wealth (1 Tim 2:9; Rev 17:4; 18:12, 16). Huge pearls are the gates in the symbolic new Jerusalem (Rev 21:21). But there is a subtle difference between this and the preceding parable.

Dear Caroline:
This and other references in the Fortune article seem to point towards a minimalistic and Spartan ethos within you that I cannot help but find pleasing, as it is part of my personal tastes. The picture of a Caroline that is rather indifferent to wealth and material symbols of status, that values money as an instrumental means for making the world a better place and for showing her genius and ability in achieving what others care so much for, is that of an authentic aristocrat of the soul, in line with the original etymology of the word. I can see how the persona of primly Hermione, both Rowling's and Yudkowski's, would both appeal to and fit you.
Such is your level of adorableness I find it really hard to believe that the a high percentage of the smart men you've interacted with have not fallen hopelessly in love with you, and yet it seems that matters of the heart, as opposed to those of wisdom and skill, haven't been your strongest playing field. A few lines further into the article we can read that when you were about to join Alameda "The job offer sparked a painful breakup with her then boyfriend, who, according to a friend, told her he didn’t love her; that she shouldn’t stay in New York for him". The fact that a person blessed with your affection would throw it away so carelessly and callously immediately brings to mind a Chinese legend about the Heshibi (和氏璧), a beautiful piece of jade whose beauty was unrecognized until it was cut and polished, becoming afterwards a prized heirloom and object of contention during the Warring States era, and was later carved into the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, symbol of the Mandate of Heaven, and subsequently transferred through successive Chinese dynasties until it was lost during the 10th century.
Let fools be lured away by superficial patinas of gold and beauty. The true light shines within and through the modest, the shy and the fragile, through paper lights from the Noguchi museum. And it brightens the view and warms the heart of those lucky enough to see and appreciate it.
Quote:
Unable to bear the weight of his worries any longer, the man decided to throw the pearl into the river, believing that by doing so, he would rid himself of the anxiety it had caused him.
Regretting his decision soon after, the man rushed into the river, desperately attempting to retrieve the pearl. However, despite his best efforts, the river had already carried the precious gem away, forever lost

another fancy lil quarto for binderary! gotta say, i am kind of falling in love with letter quartos. they are the perfect book size to me :3
anyway! this is "a pearl of great price" by eyegnats, aka the best magical girl au ever written. (basically all of gnats's fire emblem three houses fic goes hard as hell, but this one is up there as one of my Big Faves, haha.)
the bonus copy is for gnats, obviously XP i did the endbands slightly different on the author copy (tried mixing strands of multiple metallic threads to get a pearlescent look; not sure if it succeeded but it looks cool regardless) vs on my copy (kept the endbands plain silver cuz i didnt want to put in the extra effort for my personal copy, lmao). you can see the difference in the second and fourth pics.
re: design choices, i wanted the exterior to be all pearly and shiny, and the interior to be more colorful. hence the teal endpages (ingrid color) and the light peachy colored pages (annette color) :3c
also, heres a video showing off how shiny it is!

The Brother of Jared was holy enough to see God's finger.
Moses and Joseph Smith were holy enough to see God.

So when I was younger, I remember my Dad giving an FHE lesson about the creation of the Earth, and how everyone who would live on the Earth got to participate in creating animals, plants, etc.
And that really puts things like the platypus into perspective
#idk if this is canon or something my Dad inferring from the Pearl of Great Price#shout out to my Dad for creating my love of Deep Doctorine#he def didn’t see me using it to argue why some Church leaders are wrong lol

What is the Pearl of Great Price?
The Pearl of Great Price, is a parable Jesus told about the Kingdom of Heaven. There is much discussion about what that pearl represents. Does it represent the kingdom of heaven which Christians seek for, or is it the Church, the Bride of Christ? Who then is the merchantman?

More Parables
This coming Sunday is the 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time. We continue to listen to more parable from the Gospel of Matthew. Again we are presented with a doublet: the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price.
Matthew 13:44-52 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45…

“Inseminary”
or “Lockpick to the Priesthood” or “Come Unto Me” or “Pearl Necklace of Great Price” or “Faith is Like a Little Seed”
Authentic stolen holy text, Near Clear silicone, gold pigment.
I went to the mormon church’s website, looked up their views on homosexuality, noted the scriptures they referenced, ripped them by hand out of the bible and book of mormon I stole from their chapel, and then mixed them into a silicone dildo of my own design like confetti. A dildo which will of course be used for homosexual purposes (with non-lubricated condoms and water based lube, for safety).
I’ve wanted to try dildo making for literally over a decade. I don’t have any fancy equipment like a 3D printer or a vacuum chamber, I made the sculpt by hand, and I fucked up a lot along the way, but all that being said I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish and I learned a lot. I put in more gold than I meant to, but honestly, it was meant to represent scripture’s gilded edges, and as it turned out, it looks really beautiful or quite filthy depending on the lighting, which feels entirely appropriate for scripture.
It was hard to read all of those verses. But as I tore them up I bathed them in the intention to take words that were meant to inflict queer pain wherever they go, and say “Actually, I pull those words out when I want some queer pleasure.” Build joy where they want you to have it the least.
Read about/donate to the Timpanogos tribe, for whom brigham young sent out an “extermination order”
