Speak Softly, and Say the Word “DEMONIC”

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

Understandably, there’s a lot of debate in the Church these days about how to respond to gender (and other) ideology, and all that these ideologies entail. I find that many whose lives have actually been impacted by it (as opposed to those yet unscathed who are trying to find their own navigation and even guide others through the difficult waters) fall into three basic categories: 1. The response from the place of fear (those attempting to prevent or mitigate any...

Familial Generational Spirits: Vintage ~1994

Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I can still see the faces and odd behaviors of many of my siblings in Christ that night, when I showed up (with trepidation) to assess in person what was in the process of demolishing the Christian Community (as I knew it) that I had been part of for twelve years since I was an 18-year-old convert committed to following Jesus. My first husband and I were already on the brink of leaving, as were a large number of others....

Pharoahs, Peeps, Predators, Peers and Protective Instincts

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

When the Israelites were in captivity under Pharoah in Egypt, it impacted a number of things concerning control and freedom in their reproductive behavior and rightful parental ownership (in the sense of normal, healthy parental rights) regarding their children and grand-children. At least early on, perhaps this people group was not constrained in freely populating in the times when Joseph’s family came to Egypt seeking refuge and garnered, perhaps, an amount of favor. Eventually, a new Pharoah came into power...

The Official Farce

Religion, Politics and Current Events

A couple weeks ago in my readings it came to my attention that mtf’s (this is the abbreviation used in gender ideology meaning a biological male that attempts to become a female) are still required to register for selective service. I’m not sure what I found most interesting about this–the commentary in the online discussion where one person was old enough to remember the wonderful MASH series and the Corporal Klinger character, who was hoping to get out of military...

Feral Thoughts, Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Warning/Disclaimer: I may be about to say some things that would be considered sexist! But since online groomers such as this are trying to make children believe (and society pretend that) there is “no such thing as a boy and a girl,” and, according to his expertise, “biological sex is fake AND gender roles are FAKE!” (So if it is essentially all “fake,” I should just say whatever I want to, too!) __________ It’s a Friday night and I’ve had...

I Wept; and Then I Thought About Things Being All Gobbled Up

Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Every morning for many mornings now and many years I awake in a feeling of fear and overwhelming brokenness as I begin to navigate my day. It was getting late last night when I finally sat in front of the TV and researched a few names of public personas mentioned to me in several conversations over the last few days. In my “wind-down” time I was in-and-out of some Google searches and thoughts, and in-and-out of some news stories and...

I’m “Cis-Gardened”

Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

After a few moments of thought, in response to an online podcast1, I’m contemplating my own “cis-Gardenness” and inviting you, too, to become “cis-Gardened.” Curious over the discussion of the adjective (or possibly prefix or possibly noun or verb…who really knows these days) word “cis” — out of morbid curiosity, I looked up its etymology. The word “cis” derives from Latin, meaning “on this side of.” And it sits in opposition to “on the other side of.” Hmm… So. Let...

Deconstructing Deconstructionism

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

There’s a term that keeps coming to the forefront of the various socio-politico culture wars with its most direct implication toward biblical Christianity. If you’ve not heard the term deconstruction or you are not sure what that means, I hope to set forth an understanding by which you can recognize it when you see it, and if your allegiance is to Jesus, to be aware of its one goal: the complete deconstruction and destruction of the Christian faith. __________ I...

“DEATH.” Part 3: Everybody Loves Rainbows

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

The rainbow has come to be a universal sign and symbol of Hope. For the Christian, we draw meaning from the Old Testament story of Noah. The story of Noah I summarize from memory as follows: God came to Noah after observing the unbridled wickedness of the world. He told Noah to build an ark. This ark would be for the safety of his family and every living creature, and would biologically preserve that which was needed to re-populate after...

Twisting the Torah, and “Bible Stories” Told by Self-Avowed “Witches”

Religion, Politics and Current Events

The other night I was listening to Ben Shapiro. Sometimes I find his reactions to “Woke” TikToks amusing. Yet, the subject itself is extremely dark and no joking matter, albeit how laughable and insanely bizarre people’s statements and logic seems to be. I came across the piece below, in which he reacts to TikToks featuring horrendous twisting of Judeo-Christian scripture texts and stories. According to Wikipedia, Ben Shapiro practices orthodox Judaism, which informs his views. I like the way he...
