Liquid measurements have been based on the standard 250 ml. metric cup, and the standard 20 ml. metric tablespoon, 5 ml. teaspoon, and 2.5 ml. half teaspoon.
The slight difference in volume of metric spoon measurements is not so critical in these recipes as to suggest that they not be used.

DEUTERONOMY S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 25
Monday, 5/1/23
SCRIPTURE:
Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light.
Do not have two differing measures in your house—one large, one small.
~ Deuteronomy 25:13-14
OBSERVATION:
I should treat everyone the same way...
The way Jesus did...
I like to think I do...
Thankfully (?), the Spirit tells me when I don't...
APPLICATION:
Do not have two different weights...
Do not have two different measures...
Have Jesus...
PRAYER:
Father God - Thank You that Jesus stood for me as He has stood for everyone else - without favor or bias - but in Your will for my salvation... forgive when I forget that and without thinking - sometimes - treat others differently than You would have me treat them or think of them... May Your Holy Spirit continue to guide me to use Your weights and measures as shown by Jesus... In His Name, and for Your honor and glory in all things at all time...
Gratefully yours in Him...

Happy new years!
Figured I would take some measurements and weigh in photos for the first post of the year. Didn't end up hitting 150kg but there's plenty of time to eat in 2024 :)
(I am not a seamstress and these measurements are my best attempt 😅)
Belly: 58" standing up, and maybe 60" sitting down which is when the tape measure was about to run out and this was very hot...
Thighs: 34-35" standing up, 36-37" sitting down.
Chest: 51"
Arms: 20-21"
Hope everyone had a good weekend and I hope you are ready to watch this space, because I'm fat. Or lack of space depending on the context.

I love angst but this qbad arc doesnt feel tragic at all. like yes of course it is because He Fucking Forgot His Kids and they have to listen to him call them roomie over and over again and casually risk their lives and beat them over the head with cookies but. But.
he isn’t sick anymore. He isn’t going to forget them again. all that he’s learned of them he is going to keep remembering and then, later, he’s going to remember more. I love angst a lot because i like to dig into how it changes characters, but fuck i am just as obsessed with recovery arcs, which is what this feels like. Yeah there’ll be bumps and twists and turns. recoveries arent always smooth, and he’s got to deal with the grief of missing skeppy and being trapped and fearing wardens and oceans, whatever thats all about, but he isnt sick anymore. He isnt hurting or dying.
he was working so hard to make sure his kids would be okay, and he fuckinf succeeded. People kept checking up on them and offering to feed them when he went missing, and they have one (1) nice bedroom to sleep safely in, and they have all these tools and toys and farms and food. and then he chose to go back to them. and now he can learn to love them all over again.
