2.] Ask Why is This Meaningful ATT

In the second step that's called meditation, which the point is not to get far —the point is to focus in on some key words/ideas/themes, in a particular passage & then when something strikes you

that resonates with you; this is important to stop —the point is not progress & the point is to begin to reflect on this & say:

• Why is this significant right now?

• What does this word tell me about JESUS's character

• How does this word illuminate some area in my own life or area in my own flaws or character failures or something like that

• What is this word or concept mean for the things that are ahead of me that I know are coming later today

• What is the significance of this in light of

• What JESUS did for me on the cross &

Then the next step is not to keep on reading your Bible—it's to stop and actually use the very words from the particular passage and to turn that into a prayer that uses the same words you just read & reflected on and to turn that into your own prayer to GOD

……………………………………………………………………………… Then contemplation is basically go live your life, but go live your life shaped by the reflections & meditations that you've done from the day & for a while you know at least for me it took time ………………………………………………………………………………

2.1] Keep Plugging Away at It

You know it kind of felt like going through the motions, but you know after a while of doing it —it just becomes a pretty sometimes even brief —but meaningful practice of a daily prayerful engagement with the Scriptures.

And I'm certain that this is exactly the kind of thing that JESUS is doing & it's precisely the kind of thing that JESUS called HIS followers to do—it is this meditating, it's hagaying on the Scriptures

• not to learn something & • not just to tell GOD what I need

But to stop & focus & not feel the need to have to do or say anything but just reflect on the Scripture

How they lead me into this engagement with the Living GOD, WHO is the SAVIOUR of the Universe

How do you gain the motivation to see that I need this & it's not just a matter of like feeling guilty or like JESUS did it so I need to do it [power up]

• It's about a change of my desires & affections • It's about me coming to actually believe that I can't live adequately, if I don't have this practice in my life.

I need it & I want it so that I'm going to focus on it & say no to other things that are going to get in the way of that.

2.2] How do you get there?

Let me share with you one way that has gotten me there over the last few years. Turn to Luke 22 with me—it's the last moment of JESUS's private prayer that's mentioned in the Gospel of Luke.

We looked at a whole bunch already.

But in Luke 22 just where it begins with Judas going out to betray JESUS & get the soldiers & hire them most of Luke 22 is the Last Supper.

It's the last Passover meal between JESUS and HIS followers & right as the meal concludes and they leave.. Look at v.39 of Luke 22.

Luke 22:39 | ³⁹ JESUS went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, & the disciples followed HIM.

It says JESUS went out “as usual” to the Mount of Olives & HIS Disciples followed HIM; on reaching the place, HE said to them,

“Pray that you will not fall into temptation..”

JESUS knows at that moment, within 12 hours HE is going to be hanging on the Roman cross and he says: “Pray the moment of decision, the ultimate moment of decision—of your allegiance to ME is coming. Pray that you don't fall.”

Then HE withdrew as HE always did.

About a stone's throw beyond them, HE knelt down & HE prayed “FATHER if YOU are willing take this cup from ME — yet not MY will but YOURS be done.

This is the moment of agonized solitude an Angel from Heaven appeared to HIM, strengthening HIM

— being in anguish, HE prayed more earnestly HIS sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground

When HE rose from prayer, HE went back to HIS Disciples & HE finds them doing what? So JESUS HE's utterly alone now.

HE has only the FATHER's Presence with HIM that HE's aware of — but HE is in utter #solitude even though HE has this circle of Disciples around HIM

They're exhausted from sorrow, and so here you have this last moment of JESUS's prayer life — at least this side of the Cross & Resurrection..

And it's a moment where HIS Solitude, HE actually wasn't trying to be alone; HE went a stone's throw away.

……………………………………………………………………………… But the whole point is, they should be with HIM in mutual support—and HE finds HIMSELF completely isolated, only the Presence of the FATHER that HE is wrestling with, in an agonized prayer. ………………………………………………………………………………

The last moments of JESUS, right where HE had HIS will to do what HE thought HE should be doing were moments of solitary prayer.

But they were also moments of #abandonment of those who were closest to HIM, & this to me this is profound because that in a way solitude

Choosing to cut yourself off from any input and relationship, as a part of your regular practice—that's a form of self-denial so for some of us, it's very difficult to do this

And it's a form of death almost.

2.3] Symbolically Enter Pain of the Cross

It's cutting yourself off, so that you identify with JESUS —and HIS moment of HIS final moment of solitude; and so JESUS goes into this moment of solitude in agonizing prayer . . .

……………………………………………………………………………… because HE knows that the cross is ahead of HIM, this this moment where HE's going to absorb into HIMSELF cumulative effects & HIS & the FATHER's OWN judgment on human failure & sin & selfishness in HIS OWN death on the cross ………………………………………………………………………………

And it's this moment of agonizing solitude.

• Why did HE go & do that?

• Why did HE do that & the witness of all of the NT Scriptures is that HE did that as an act of love for you & for me.

……………………………………………………………………………… JESUS went into the moment of complete abandonment & solitude precisely as an act of love & commitment to those who would look to HIM in faith ………………………………………………………………………………

so that in their moment of solitude and death—they would have the promise of never being abandoned

And so in these acts of solitude that we place ourselves into, it's a pure response to the ONE WHO is completely abandoned & isolated for me & my behalf

as an act of love & in my better moments which aren't that my heart is melted into a desire to want to be in solitude with my SAVIOUR..

That's how I get there.

I don't know how you need to get there — but it seems to me it's only going to happen when we see that we need this practice.

We need it in our lives to actually fully function as as human beings & as followers of JESUS.

by Steven J. Cole | In a message at the 2011 Desiring God Pastor’s Conference, Francis Chan told of many answers to prayer that he has received. He said that for those who know the living God, this should be the norm. We should have such frequent answers to our prayers that we’re surprised when an occasional one goes unanswered...

Driver's Ranked by Year

Ok, this is going to be a long one because I don't want to spam, so everybody buckle up

Disclaimer: This is not my personal ranking of the ships, this is purely based on how I view the historical event that takes place in the year that the numbers make up. I will happily further explain any of the events, my analysis of the events with the ship, and why I ranked them that way if anybody is interested. I tried to get a variety, but I am better with western history so there is more of skew towards western history. I have used both CE and BCE years to create more variety. As with everything with RPF, I do not believe any of these drivers are together and this is all in good fun, if you don't want to view it as ships view them as teammates! All images are pulled from google.

I guess I can update this now! If you haven't figured out by now I love Roman Reigns! I'm also pagan (some prefer the term polytheist because they see pagan as offensive but I don't) and a witch (not wiccan) I post about it regularly on my blog along with Roman. I write fanfics whenever I get the urge. I make gifs and post a lot of pictures.

I admire TRUE loyalty. Apparently faking loyalty is a thing now!🤦🏻‍♀️ Also seeing people being playgans is hilarious! Saying "gods" doesn't make you pagan, you just look desperate to fit in and it gives hypochristian vibes!!

I DO NOT give permission for my works to be translated or posted elsewhere! I DO NOT give permission for my stories to be fed to AI!! I don't own any wwe or any of their characters only my OCs. I cross post my fics on AO3 and Wattpad. I don't have fanfiction.net so if any of my stories are there that's not me!

They can take away our lives...... But they can never....take.... OUR METAL!!!!!🤘

Im Also a very loyal metalhead! I use it in my stories A LOT!! That metal growl is music to my ears!! I love it!!

I listen to 80s music and some 70s as well!

Meditation and Solitude P1,2 | Tim Mackie [Romans 8:26-27]

Now what is this meditating? There's the meditate all clear? It's just very clear what it means in English right? Meditate, that's not a clear word in English at all — because it's a word that has been picked up to describe the kinds of practices or spiritual practices in many different kinds of religious traditions.

So what does it mean in the biblical tradition? What does it mean in the Jewish? What does it mean in the Christian tradition?

And of course I have to teach you the Hebrew word because that's what I do, so this is a really good one:

It's the word hagah, which is used a handful of times in the Biblical Hebrew — and actually the majority of times that you learn about or you see this word used

• it's not referring to people • it's referring to animals who are doing this

So in Isaiah, a lion hagahs & it's particularly a lion who has just shredded a lamb to pieces, & is like sitting there over the meat, the fur, & stuff & like beginning to eat it..

1.] Doves Hagah the Most

And that lion is is said to be hagahing over its prey, there's a number actually the most of the passages in the Bible that use this word are describing doves

And what doves do? [1:21]

In other words, this is a word that means to mumble or to whisper or to speak silently or Softly & so a lion hagaz [Isaiah 31:4, growls] over a little slaughtered lamb, doves hagah [Isaiah 38:14; Isaiah 59:11 groan] when they're up on the power lines, making noises to themselves; and

Romans 8:26-27 | Future Glory [2 Corinthians 5:1-10] In the same way, the SPIRIT helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the SPIRIT HIMSELF intercedes for us with groans too deep for words; ²⁷ & HE WHO searches our hearts knows the mind of the SPIRIT, because the SPIRIT intercedes for saints according to the will of GOD.

humans [Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2, soliloquize/muse on a subject/thing]. Humans hagah when they have the Scriptures in front of them in these quiet moments —that they have patterned to regularly happen thru -out the day & night of their lives.

1.1] So what does that mean?

Does this mean just like read your Bible & pray?

This is something in between reading your Bible & then like praying & making your request known to GOD —it is this form of relational interaction with GOD & Scriptures as the medium.

……………………………………………………………………………………… The Scriptures as I read them aloud to myself slowly & carefully/prayerfully & they become this way that I have an interaction with JESUS that's what Psalm 1 is referring to & this is the in a way of engaging the Scriptures! ………………………………………………………………………………………

That's actually mentioned quite a number of times in the Scriptures themselves—and it seems to me this is surely one of the things, I think even one of the main things that JESUS was doing in these moments we are called to pray & to read the Bible & to hagah.

And that this is part of the regular practice so that it's not just like you sit by yourself . . . How many of you have tried to pray and you just get utterly lost in your own thoughts, you know & you're just like whoa!

What just happened to me?!

Like somehow, like this train of association disrupted the entire meditation on GOD, so this to me has been one of the greatest gifts is learning and adopting this practice—because you are actually focusing on some -thing that's not your own thoughts.

……………………………………………………………………………………… You're focusing on the Scriptures, but you're engaged with them—not to learn something; so that's why the Book of Psalms, I think has formed the prayer book for this practice for so many millennia. ………………………………………………………………………………………

Now it's because once you pray through it a number of times, it becomes familiar to you, then it becomes the way for you to use these prayers of the Psalms.

But to become your own prayers in some ways, but this is about this experiential engagement with the Scriptures—so I would say go to the Book of Psalms, or go to a passage that you already are familiar with

• because the point is not learning • point is to to read this text slowly & aloud to yourself & then to engage with it, think about what it means to all of life. Why did GOD say it?

#meditate #hagah #Hebrew Word Lessons #Tim Mackie #Psalm 1:1-2 #Solitude #deliberate focus #mumble #talk to yourself #soliloquize #groan #Romans 8:26-27 #Future Glory #HOLY SPIRIT #too deep for words #noisy meditation #Romans 8

Chinese surnames that are more common in Taiwan

Recently I realized that I’ve met a lot of people with the surname Hung but virtually no Hongs. Hung is a romanization of 洪 used in Taiwan (it's Hong in pinyin). So why have I met so many Hungs but not many Hongs? It turns out that in Taiwan, 洪 is the 14th* most common surname, but in Mainland China it’s way down at 107th**!

After learning this, I realized that 洪 is not the only surname for which I've noticed this imbalance. Using rankings I found online, I calculated the differences in ranking and also the "quotient" (rank in Mainland divided by rank in Taiwan) for over 200 surnames.

This list consists of surnames "significantly" more common in Taiwan ("significant" means quotient > 2). I’m focusing on surnames for which my personal observations line up with the numbers. The rest of the surnames meeting the criteria are under the cut.

List order: By rank in Taiwan, from most to least common List format: 简体字 | 繁體字 pinyin (Taiwanese-style romanization)

蔡 Cài (Tsai) Taiwan rank: 9 Mainland rank: 44 Difference: 35 Quotient: 4.888888889

洪 Hóng (Hung) Taiwan rank: 14 Mainland rank: 107 Difference: 93 Quotient: 7.642857143

邱 Qiū (Chiu) Taiwan rank: 16 Mainland rank: 77 Difference: 61 Quotient: 4.8125

曾 Zēng (Tseng) Taiwan rank: 17 Mainland rank: 38 Difference: 21 Quotient: 2.235294118

廖 Liào Taiwan rank: 18 Mainland rank: 66 Difference: 48 Quotient: 3.666666667

赖 | 賴 Lài Taiwan rank: 19 Mainland rank: 98 Difference: 79 Quotient: 5.157894737

叶 | 葉 Yè (Yeh) Taiwan rank: 22 Mainland rank: 49 Difference: 27 Quotient: 2.227272727

庄 | 莊 Zhuāng (Chuang) Taiwan rank: 24 Mainland rank: 138 Difference: 114 Quotient: 5.75

江 Jiāng (Chiang) Taiwan rank: 26 Mainland rank: 79 Difference: 53 Quotient: 3.038461538

简 | 簡 Jiǎn (Chien) Taiwan rank: 32 Mainland rank: 224 Difference: 192 Quotient: 7

游 Yóu (Yu) Taiwan rank: 35 Mainland rank: 166 Difference: 131 Quotient: 4.742857143

詹 Zhān (Chan) Taiwan rank: 37 Mainland rank: 152 Difference: 115 Quotient: 4.108108108

施 Shī (Shih) Taiwan rank: 39 Mainland rank: 105 Difference: 66 Quotient: 2.692307692

颜 | 顏 Yán (Yen) Taiwan rank: 45 Mainland rank: 110 Difference: 65 Quotient: 2.444444444

柯 Kē (Ko) Taiwan rank: 46 Mainland rank: 188 Difference: 142 Quotient: 4.086956522

卓 Zhuó (Chuo or Cho) Taiwan rank: 61 Mainland rank: 256 Difference: 195 Quotient: 4.196721311

Additional surnames meeting the criteria: The first 4 surnames are so common everywhere that I haven't observed an asymmetry. Thus, they are listed down here.

林 Lín Taiwan rank: 2 Mainland rank: 16 Difference: 14 Quotient: 8

黄 | 黃 Huáng Taiwan rank: 3 Mainland rank: 8 Difference: 5 Quotient: 2.666666667

许 | 許 Xǔ (Hsu or Shu) Taiwan rank: 11 Mainland rank: 35 Difference: 24 Quotient: 3.181818182

翁 Wēng Taiwan rank: 47 Mainland rank: 177 Difference: 130 Quotient: 3.765957447

阮 Ruǎn (Juan) Taiwan rank: 62 Mainland rank: 189 Difference: 127 Quotient: 3.048387097

蓝 | 藍 Lán Taiwan rank: 67 Mainland rank: 260 Difference: 193 Quotient: 3.880597015

Okay, since I am extremely bored, I am doing the second edition of the RWBY Hottest Character Poll. A few characters are different from the first one; for example, Oobleck isn't on this one, and I don't think Jinn was in the first one but she's in the second one.

Anyway.

List of Characters:

1) Blake Belladonna

2) Yang Xiao Long

3) Weiss Schnee

4) Jaune Arc

5) Nora Valkyrie

6) Lie Ren

7) Ambrosius

8) Qrow Branwen

9) Raven Branwen

10) Young María Calavera

11) Coco Adel

12) Velvet Scarlatina

13) Yatsuhashi Daichi

14) Fox Alistair

15) Neopolitan

16) Roman Torchwick

17) Cinder Fall

18) Emerald Sustrai

19) Mercury Black

20) Salem

21) Ozpin

22) OG Ozma

23) James Ironwood

24) Winter Schnee

25) Pyrrha Nikos

26) Kali Belladonna

27) Ghira Belladonna

28) Sun Wukong

29) Neptune Vasilias

30) Marrow Amin

31) Taiyang Xiao Long

32) Harriet Bree

33) Sienna Khan

34) Clover Ebi

35) Scarlet David

36) Nolan Porfirio

37) Amber

38) Vine Zeki

39) Elm Ederne

40) Jacques Schnee

41) Adam Taurus

42) Ilia Amitola

43) Saphron Cotta-Arc

44) Terra Cotta-Arc

45) Jinn

46) Summer Rose

47) Caroline Cordovin

48) Sage Ayana

49) Tyrian Callows

50) Arthur Watts

51) Robyn Hill

52) May Marigold

53) Fionna Thyme

54) Joanna Greenleaf

55) Hazel Rainart

56) Klein Sieben

57) Willow Schnee

58) Neon Katt

59) Vernal

60) Flynt Coal

61) Glynda Goodwitch

62) Leonardo Lionheart

63) Rhodes

64) Blacksmith Lady

Obviously, just like in the first one, I didn't add underage characters such as Ruby, Oscar or Whitley. Pyrrha is there because since her confirmed birthday was on April and the Vytal Festival took place in the Fall, then she had most likely turned 18 by volume 3.

I randomized all the pairs, but still I made sure most guys were with other guys because considering how gay this fandom is, all the guys would be out of the poll in the first round if they were against women.

The Proverbs of Solomon

1 The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel. 2 To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason: 3 To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour: 4 To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose: 5 (The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:) 6 To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings. 7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.

Advice to a Son

8 My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother: 9 For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck. 10 My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them. 11 If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause; 12 Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death; 13 Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth; 14 Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag: 15 My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways: 16 For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life. 17 Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird: 18 And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves. 19 Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.

The Good Woman—Wisdom

20 Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places; 21 Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town: 22 How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge? 23 Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you. 24 Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand; 25 You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words: 26 So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear; 27 When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you. 28 Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me: 29 For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord: 30 They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them. 31 So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full. 32 For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction. 33 But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil. — Proverbs 1 | Bible in Basic English (BBE) The Bible in Basic English is in the public domain.

Buddy Daddies - OST - Song Titles: Translations & Info.

A few days ago, they put up a teaser video with some of the songs from the Buddy Daddies OST playing. They also provided this image above, which has all the song titles listed. I’ve translated them all and have provided some interesting insight and information when and where I could. If anyone else has any more info on these titles, or extra insight, feel free to add on to this! :D

So, first, here are the song titles:

1. Buddy Daddies Theme

2. Commencing Pursuit

3. Under Interrogation

4. SHARK ATTACK

5. Ska De Buddy

6. Buddy & Daddies Act. 1

7. Knight of Dragon Emblem

8. Funk Me Up! Feat. Nick Green

9. Jazzy & Daddies

10. Jingle Bells

11. Watermelon Woman

12. Let’s Cooking

13. Targets in the Dark

14. Silent Night

15. Undercover Investigation

16. Strolling Waltz

17. Battle of Spanish Joint

18. Welcome Home, Daddy

19. Comfort in My Heart

20. Franny! Rudolph! Francesco!

21. Mystery of Spanish Joint

22. Stand Off

23. Caprice Waltz

24. Country & Daddies

25. Diversionary Tactics

26. Start Strategy

27. Twilight Sunset

28. Requiem

29. Nocturne

30. Good Luck Charm

31. Wake Me Up to Hit the Town

32. Secret Maneuvers

33. 24 Hours

34. Don’t Say Goodbye (Japanese Translated Title)

35. Don’t Say Goodbye (English Title)

Some more interesting info on some of these titles under the Read More!

First we have the “Knight of Dragon Emblem” title. This makes me think of Fire Emblem (a video game series that I am not overly familiar with, I just know the name) and dragon imagery. Dragon imagery is associated with strength, courage, magic, and all of that kind of stuff. While a knight protects.

Second we have “Watermelon Woman,” when I looked this up, I found a Wikipedia page on a 1996 romantic-comedy drama called “The Watermelon Woman.” This is a movie that was written, edited, and directed by Cheryl Dunye:

a Liberian-American film director, producer, screenwriter, editor and actress. Dunye's work often concerns themes of race, sexuality, and gender, particularly issues relating to black lesbians. She is known as the first out black lesbian to ever direct a feature film with her 1996 film The Watermelon Woman. She runs the production company Jingletown Films based in Oakland California.

(From Wikipedia, which will be linked to below).

She also stars as the lead role in the film. The lead character is Cheryl who is a “young black lesbian.”

This is the song that plays when Carol and Dorothy show up. Interesting. In the movie, Cheryl explores a lesbian relationship with a white woman Hmm....

But it also plays during stuff like Miri’s daycare interview with Miss Anna. So, I don’t know if there might be some other reference as well.

It could be an indicator of musical influence as well. At least, I definitely think that the song titles Battle of Spanish Joint and Mystery of Spanish Joint come from a song by D’Angelo that came out in 2011. The song is titled, “Spanish Joint,” and you can definitely hear some of the musical influences there.

youtube

The lyrics are rather interesting, especially if you think about them in connection to Buddy Daddies.

One song is titled Requiem, which has a few meanings:

Text:

(especially in the Roman Catholic Church) a Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead."a requiem was held for the dead queen"

a musical composition setting parts of a requiem Mass, or of a similar character."Fauré's Requiem"

an act or token of remembrance."he designed the epic as a requiem for his wife"

The second meaning is likely the meaning they are going with here.

Nocturne is a musical composition that is meant to invoke the night.

“Don’t Say Goodbye” is the song that Miri’s mother sings in the snack bar back in Episode 3. We get the extra lyric of: “I wanna spend as much time as possible...” Given the current situation she is in, with cancer and wanting Miri back, etc. This song seems like it will be reflective of her feelings in regards to all of those things. I hope we get a full version of it in the actual series itself too!
