The warm, ever-present feeling of being fully and perfectly loved and the contentment in that fuzzy bubble. God’s grace is so good. It’s been hard to feel content when this world is just fighting for you to be down or in a general state of upset. How great it is to turn to the gospel and just put into perspective what is true? Jesus is Lord and Savior and loves us immensely. So much so He would die for our sins on the cross and rise again, fully paying the debt of our sin and taking on the wrath of God. So that we may be with Him and appear blameless before him, by faith through grace. Sola Gratia. I am filled with a peace that surpasses understanding and a quiet happiness that feels like a bubbling fountain that will never run dry. Our God is good. I feel fully and perfectly loved.

Have you ever found yourself wondering what the food from animated movies would taste like? Well, this lady from Japan has and she took matters into her own hands.

Instagram user En93kitchen creates meals from animated Studio Ghibli Films such as ��Kiki’s Delivery Service” or “My Neighbor Totoro” and they look delicious! From here

“The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy. I like the crackling logs, the shaded lights, the scent of buttered toast, the general atmosphere of leisured coziness.”

— P.G. Wodehouse (via pagewoman)

I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are.

“We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”

Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?

“I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”

Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.

“The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.

But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.

— Roger Ebert in conversation with Hiyao Miyazaki

Saw something in fleeting on my dash about Jesus not being fully sinless from obvi non-Christians...... ??

Just thoughts in my head after reading that garbage nonsense.

Breaking GOD’s law = sin

Human law = 💩

Human judgment = 💩

Case in point, we just legalized murders of babies in New York. Human law means nothing.

I hope understanding who Jesus really is, the necessity of us having a relationship with our Creator and Savior, hits these people like a brick one day. That God would use the Holy Spirit to move in their stone hearts and rip off the metaphorical culture goop covering their eyes so that they may see and know the only one who loves them perfectly in spite of our sin.

Heard a sermon from Pastor Chuck today speaking on how the general attitude of most people now a days is outrage. On the news, you just get told what to be angry about. Everyone wants to find fault with something and just knock it down and be part of the problem, instead of the solution. People have a lot of opinions on things. Where are your realized ideas to help? I’m really tired of people beating their fists on their social media platforms. There’s already a lot of noise. One more bleating uninformed person isn’t making a difference.
