#Jairus
Note
I'm not super familiar with D&D lore, but how does Roisia's parents' relationship work? With her mother being a Kelemvorite and her father possessing his own skeleton? Or does her mother even know about his current state?
I adore Roisia and your work
Thank you! The short of it is: it's work but it works and she knows. Got into the weeds of it under the cut.
Yasmin couldn't bring herself to execute her duty as a Cleric of Kelemvor and former Necrobane and execute her (now undead) husband. In one fell swoop, Roisia ruined her mother's otherwise stellar track record as a Kelemvorite.
Logistically, if Yasmin wanted her husband to have freedom of movement, she could no longer offer room and board to the servants and staff in her employ. She allowed rumours that her business was suffering financially go unchallenged, since an undead husband in a funeral home is even worse for business. Generally speaking, Roisia's father, Jairus, keeps to the upstairs (the family's quarters) and attic during business hours and is free to roam the house and grounds at night. (This is of course on the condition that there are no funerary celebrations that evening.) He now puts his carpentry skills to work in the fashioning of coffins and caskets, but otherwise his time is his own.
Because they no longer have live-in servants, the family now has to take on more domestic labour (e.g., cleaning, laundering) to prevent their servants from discovering the lie. Jairus has commandeered cooking for his family, but will clean or launder clothes when bored. I should note here that both Jairus and Yasmin came from working-class backgrounds. They know how to do domestic labour; it was Roisia who grew up with servants and who had to learn to do without.
The relationships (between spouses, between child and parent) are loving, but not without strain. Jairus is fundamentally lonely. He feels like a ghost: he can't go back to work at the docks as a shipwright, he can't go out for a pint at the Maid with his mates, he can't go off to the countryside to visit with his side of the family, he can't even take a walk around the city at night for fear of discovery. So he grasps at any family time he can get, which is tough when he is functionally nocturnal and the rest of his small family is diurnal.
Yasmin, meanwhile, still deeply loves her husband even as a skeleton, but she also sees his pain. She is torn between keeping her daughter happy (father lives) and offering her husband a way out (father dies), and struggles with the guilt of whether or not a mercy killing would really be a mercy to Jairus... or to her. And then, some nights, she worries that perhaps she would not be able to kill him at all were she ever to try, and that would make everything all the worse.
Roisia, meanwhile, is largely ignorant of her parent's anxieties. She is still elated to have her father back in whatever capacity. She enjoys picking up the thread of their past lives: stargazing and charting with him, chatting to him from the kitchen table while he cooks, demanding that he retwist her locs even when he's certain she doesn't need a retwist, trying to outplay him at games, etc. She hides her studies in Necromancy as best as possible from her parents, but dreams of a day of restoring her father to the way he was, flesh and all.
TL;DR: "Works" is the operative word here. Everyone is doing their best with what they've got.

Can somebody call the men in white coats to come collect Jairus? He's escaped the mental asylum and is back on his bullshit. This time his alt is Jessie. Idky he's blaming Britt and the other VAs when all they do is act out the script. You'll notice he didn't go after Nojima for writing the script though.

Our First LINE of Defense
In February 2021, I moved to Austin. My son tried to persuade me to take a fourth-floor apartment because the wildlife habitat next door had a beautiful view. That view didn’t matter to me. I didn’t want to wait for an elevator, and I wanted an apartment easily accessible to my car.
I’m glad I followed my instincts. Within a few months living here, I heard the clamor of the loudest earthmoving…

Fear and Trust
In today’s gospel we encounter the well known stories of the Daughter of Jairus and the hemorrhaging woman. In the Gospel of Mark Jesus is closely involved with women nine times. Today’s gospel captures two of those interactions. with two of Jesus’ more moving encounters with women. Both stories begin with someone seeking out Jesus, the healer. Both stories end in the cure of a person who had…

I have a deep fear that by the time the BG3 is released, I won't be able to stomach doing another round of Act I so I've been distracting myself from playing by fleshing out Roisia's backstory and designing her parents.

"Little girl, I say to you, 'Get up!'"
“While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. ‘Your daughter is dead,’ they said, ‘why bother the teacher any more’?” Mark 5:35
There are two assumptions in this verse: 1) Jesus is best described as a teacher, and 2) Death is an obstacle for him.
Both assumptions come from a root assumption about Jesus’ identity- Jesus is a godly and gifted man…

Total fucking lunatic. Not only is he demanding Briana give up paid work for Erica, like it's her duty to provide for her as a manager or something, but he's also sending this barrage of insulting filth at Briana, Erica and Britt like they're gonna go to SE and demand Jessie be turned into the heroine of the game, and if they don't then they don't like the character.
Can someone please section this utter nutcake before he does something violent to innocent women who are just doing their jobs

New Post has been published on Andy Bondurant
New Post has been published on https://andybondurant.com/2022/08/26/complete-will-nothing-ever-change/
Complete: will nothing ever change?
“This is just the way it is. Things will never change. It’s complete.”
Have you ever found yourself repeating these words to yourself – in your head and heart. You’ve struggled and struggled and struggled. Nothing’s changed. It could be your finances or a relationship. Maybe you have a habit you just can’t seem to break. In your heart, you’ve simply resigned to the fact, this is just the way it is.
Does it have to be this way forever?
Jesus’ ‘magical’ power.
There is a fascinating story in the book of Mark about Jesus healing a pair of women (one older and the other younger) who from all points of view should have been repeating those words themselves. This is just the way it is.
Jesus had crossed the Lake of Galilee, and as soon as he stepped out of the boat, he is approached by a local religious leader. The man’s twelve year old daughter is dying. No medicine has helped. No doctor has been able to intervene. Could Jesus come and speak his ‘magic’ words of power?
Jesus agreed to go with the man (Jairus), but on the way to the man’s home, Jesus is interrupted by a woman who has struggled with internal bleeding for twelve years. No medicine has helped. No doctor has been able to intervene. This womna wondered if simply touching the robe of Jesus could transfer his ‘magical’ power to her dying body?
The power of numbers
We don’t typically give the credit numbers in scripture deserve. Three of the most important numbers to pay attention to in the Bible are 3, 7 and 12.
The number twelve symbolizes two different but connected things in scripture – completion and God’s power and authority. There were twelve sons (who became tribes) of Jacob, the founding family of Israel. There were twelve disciples of Jesus. Within this completion of nation and community comes the power and authority of God.
Did you notice the connection between the two women in this story? One was twelve years old (a young, pre-teen woman), and the other a woman, who probably looked older than she was, has suffered from her affliction for twelve years. When one woman was born, the other woman began dealing with her physical ailment.
Now they both appear to be at the end of their lives.
Completion
In the case of the older woman, most people saw the illness as complete within her. It had been twelve years. I’m sure statements like, “This is just the way it is. Things will never change.” dominated her thinking. There was no real hope of healing – definitely not through the power of medicine. The woman was grasping at the last possible hope in front of her.
Jairus thought his daughter’s life, only twelve years old, was complete…over. On the path home with Jesus, a servant ran to them, giving the unfortunate news that the daughter was dead. “This is just the way it is. Nothing now can change.” invaded Jairus’ heart and mind. He was crushed.
Power + Authority
But the number twelve doesn’t just symbolize completion. Twelve also reflects God’s power and authority. The twelve tribes of Israel escaped the bondage of slavery in Egypt through the display of God’s power. The twelve disciples were given God’s authority to perform the same miracles Jesus did.
Jairus thought his daughter’s life was over. The woman considered her sickness a way of life…leading to her own death. But Jesus has the power to destroy the way things have always been. Jesus has the authority to make things different.
Because of the crowds surrounding Jesus, the woman could only get close enough to touch Jesus’ robe. Power leapt from Jesus, flowing into the woman. After twelve years, it wasn’t her sickness, but the woman’s healing that was complete.
Moving from his encounter with the woman to the home of Jairus, a crowd of mourners laughed at Jesus’ mention of the girl only being asleep. But with authority, Jesus entered her room. The girl’s life (and Jairus’) was not over. Her death wasn’t the way it was to be. Again with authority, Jesus spoke:
“Little girl, get up!”
Holding her hand, power flowed through Jesus. Her healing was complete.
Did these two women ever meet? I don’t know. But their stories are forever connected through the power and authority of God to complete the healing and change no one believed would come.
Your story isn’t complete.
Things don’t have to be the way they are. Things can change. The power and authority of Jesus is available to you. The story of both these women began with someone reaching out in faith…just a smidge of belief that God could change the way things are.
So, if it’s a financial hurdle or a broken relationship. Maybe you have a physical need or a habit that seems unbreakable. Reach out in faith, even the slightest bit of belief. God wants to complete a miracle in you through his power.

"Get Up!"
“Get Up!”
Monday’s Column: Neal At The Cross
Neal Pollard
The phrase “got up” is found 41 times in the Bible. It is used four times in Matthew 9, of four different people and situations. I want us to make some application of that.
A struggling man got up and went home. This is the man brought to Christ by his four friends. Jesus began the encounter, “Take courage, your sins are forgiven” (2). This upset…

Our First Line of Defense
My blog inspiration for this day is slow in coming, Soon the creative juices start to flow. It starts with an annoying, over-sized, buzzing horse fly that overflew his bounds since the night before. I attempt tactical warfare — swatting and spraying – but the beast lives on.
Then, while sitting at my desk, he has the nerve to land on me. I think: “This is one of satan’s little imps on assignment…
