Isaiah 5: God's Vineyard

It was right for God to look for fruit from this vineyard, and it is right for the Lord to look for the same evidence of God’s grace in your life and mine today. #Isaiah5 #GodsVineyard #Abidein theVine

What Makes a Good Investment? If we invest in a house, for example, we are apt to take care of it, make improvements, do repairs, paint it and shingle it. One day we may need to sell this house, and we expect to at least cover our original investment, and hopefully make something of a profit. What about people as investments? Or more to the point, how would you and I invest in people, and what…

It's a metaphor!

What's a meta for?

Nothin! What's a meta for you!

*wheezes for six minutes straight without taking a breath*

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In this Bible story, Jesus describes Himself as a vine (like a grapevine), and His disciples as its branches. Branches can only bear fruit while connected to the main vine. If their connection is severed or tainted, they wither and die, and then they're pruned, suitable only for being tossed in a fire. Jesus is warning His disciples that their mission's fruitfulness depends on their continued, dedicated, healthy connection with Him and His Father. 2. In this cartoon, after hearing Jesus's metaphor, Peter declares that he and the other apostles (the "branches" in Jesus's metaphor) will "stick" with the vine. A "stick" is a long, thin piece of wood (like a branch), but "stick" can also mean "stay connected to." This is an inferior pun, because while the word "stick" has the two above meanings, only one of those meanings makes grammatical sense in Peter's comment (the latter). 3. Jesus replies that the vine (Him, in the metaphor) will be "rooting" for them. "Rooting" can either mean "laying down roots" (as in a tree growing its roots into the ground), or "cheering on" (like an audience cheering for a sports team). This is a superior pun to Peter's, because both meanings make grammatical sense in Jesus's comment. His declaration can be taken to mean either (1) that, as the vine, He'll provide the apostles with roots to nourish their fruitfulness, or (2) that, as their teacher, friend, and Lord, He'll be cheering them on and supporting them in their mission.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is another "Tomics Resurrection," where I have plucked the desiccated husk of an old cartoon from the withered branch of the past, and gorged it with so many steroids and hormones that it blasphemes nature but looks way more colorful! Also, it's been slightly reworded to flow better while maintaining the meaning of the passage; the disciples have been moved inside to the Last Supper, since this reading takes place either during or just after; and the image of the grapevine is in the second panel now, including a lush branch and a withered branch to illustrate what Jesus is saying. Tell me, how does it compare?

Prompt 272

You know what could be fun for Ghosts Are Dragons? How to Train Your Dragon Crossover. 

Like, both seafarers and vikings were incredibly superstitious people, even if we don’t see that a lot in the movie series. 

And Danny well, he might’ve managed to convince Clockwork that you know what? They do deserve a vacation, fuck the Observants, let’s find a world where we don’t have to worry about the GIW and just vibe! 

Now Clockwork, as anyone with eyes can tell, has a soft spot for the little ghost, there are even bets on when he’ll finally bite the bullet and properly adopt the little hatchling. In fact it’s so obvious that several others, Pandora and Frostbite included, borderline kick him out, telling him to yes, do go on a vacation, remember what happened when we all told Pariah to have a vacation and he didn’t? Exactly! 

So there they go, a pair, er a trio, um, alright Clockwork currently has six hatchlings with him. Alright. Okay so he’s never had a vacation before (nevermind with his future vision mostly turned off) and is maybe a hint wrong-footed but that’s fine. It can’t be that hard, and really, he easily dwarfs even the biggest dragons in this world, so what’s going to mess with him, hm? 

Ah.

Perhaps he should remember how idiotic humans are at times.

John 15:4 (NKJV) - Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

A bunch of very clumzy doodles and Yavanna from Sansukh (oops, from the continuation of Sansukh).

#oh man I zoned out so terribly for the september #I hope I will be back to being more productive and finish commissions #I promised myself to not post wips anymore but I can not finish any #damn tumblr deleted photo post option so I've got confused and didn't know how to post wips #I guess it's a sign that I should post finished works only after all #yawanna is not a tree but rather a silhouette made of vines and branches #I hope the idea is clear #I am not enough skilled artist to do that #the hobbit #sansukh

Jesus the True Vine

4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. 5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. — John 15:4-5 | Majority Standard Bible (MSB) The Holy Bible, Majority Standard Bible is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub, Discovery Bible, OpenBible.com, and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.

"I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."

KNY AU Roleswaps

Feel free to ask me about any of them! I have so many!

This will definitely be updated!

Children of the River: Ageswap AU, following Tomioka Tsutako and Kanae Kocho as they pursue a cure for their demonic siblings. Featuring the altering of sibling dynamics, the Kamabokos as the Hashira, their places taken by the fallen...and Sanemi. Tanjirou is given the Rengoku treatment.

Stray Thunderbolts: Zenitsu and Kanao are not found, but find each other instead. When Shizuko comes home to her brother cowering and Demonic, she strikes a deal with a passing Hashira to see him both spared and cured. Featuring Thunder Breathing Kanao (Shizuko), Demon slaying Kamados with Lore, and an appearance from a favourite minor character of mine. Tanjiro gets the Aoi treatment here. (For now)

Diffused Sunlight: Muichiro and Yuichiro are born in the Sengoku era. Centuries pass, and the remaining branches of their legacies reunite to finish the fight. Featuring hard of hearing Yoriichi! Moon Hashira Nezuko! Thunder Breather Uta! And another minor character upgraded to the Kamado Squad! Tanjiro gets the Kanae AND the Sabito treatment here!

Branching Vines: Kamado roleswap! Nezuko finds new teachers and different friends, but the goal remains. Featuring the living replaced by the dead, Genya & Muichiro as Nezuko’s BFFs, and a Tanjiro who doesn’t suffer TOO horribly!

Strength & Hunger: The least developed so far. Kanroji Hakuji is a misfit amongst his family, with his curt yet protective nature and prodigal strength, but he is content with his life. Arriving home to a dead family and a demonic Mitsuri changes things. Featuring Demon Slayer Hakuji, Demon cannibal Mitsuri, an Iguro still simping for her, and a Tanjiro who’s fate is undecided. (I swear I love him!) 

#KNY #KNY AU #Misc AU stash #KNY Roleswap AU #Demon Slayer #Children of the River AU #Stray Thunderbolts AU #Diffused Sunlight AU #Branching Vines AU #Strength & Hunger AU #I swear I love Tanjiro #But he gets a raw deal in SO many of these!
