“The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion; only one in a hundred million to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive.”
This morning I am moved to pray for new Christians. Satan does not want them to be happy with their decision to follow you. He wants to trip them any way he can. Please, send a legion of guardian angels to surround them and protect them from harm and evil. Give them extra strength to reject the temptations that Satan sends their way. Help them to stand strong upon the Rock of their salvation and not to doubt.
I pray for them and for all Christians to have faith that can move mountains, grace for the moment, and guidance for today and every day to come. I praise you and thank you, all-powerful, all-knowing God, full of grace and truth.
“Thus year follows year in endless succession. ‘What was will be again.’ The individual may enjoy this endless repetition throughout his life without ever reaching any kind of reckoning. Every year will be for him just one more old year, the same old dream without end, the same vicious circle from which there is no escape. That is why the schofar is sounded, its simple ear-assaulting cry. Its wordless wailing (since no words are understood by all) consists of two broken blasts, a lamenting for what was, for what has been. This is followed by two warning notes, for what may still lie ahead to entrap and degrade, and culminates in two shouts of victory: the promise that, in spite of everything, there is a possibility that the coming year will be more than a mere repetition of its predecessor, that within the cycle of the seasons there is room for hope that the coming year may be truly 'new.’” —Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz on transforming repetition into renewal
These neon chunks of raw #BlueApatite seem almost unreal! These will be released in tonight’s update - along with so many other goodies … and as I was writing all of the descriptions up last night, I noticed this consistent theme of: #renewal …. which seems pretty fitting for where we are collectively at this moment. • “Blue Apatite is a very cleansing stone, and brings about feelings of renewal. It works with the aura, clearing away negative, unwanted energies.. and is an effective tool for psychic development. Resonating with the Third Eye Chakra and the Throat Chakra - it allows us to glean deep spiritual insight, and to express that newfound knowledge in our everyday communications.” • These will be available on your choice of: yellow gold filled, rose gold filled, or sterling silver chain - in a variety of lengths. • I’m so psyyyyyyched!! You? • . • . • . • . • . • #daintyjewelry #delicatejewelry #daintynecklace #crystaljewelry #crystalhealing #healingjewelry #spiritualjewelry #throatchakra #chakrahealing #crystalsofinstagram #crystaladdict #seaox (at Seaoxdesigns.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCQ-4KhJUWU/?igshid=pzk3din1pesq

Imagine waking in the hour before dawn, rising in the cool darkness – no electricity, no gaslights, just the stars and what’s left of the moon, and perhaps a candle to light your room. You pull on your clothes, no sound but that of your feet shuffling and the ruffling of fabric. You put on your shoes and grab a bucket and head out in the darkness. You walk down the road, the air chilled and moist. If you pass someone, you nod your head but don’t dare to speak. Their footsteps shuffle away, and the scent of cold earth and dew fills your nostrils as you continue on your way. Soon, you hear the faint trickling of a creek. You come to the edge of it, and the faint light glints on the ripples as you dip your bucket down into the freezing water. You pull it up again, and it’s heavier than before. The faint light glints silver on that, too, almost as if you’ve captured some of the stars in it. Then you head home, the water sloshing softly in the bucket, and still you don’t speak until dawn breaks on the horizon.

Who knew the most popular cartoon around right now could have any drama that comes with it? It seems like just yesterday when there was a total freak out over McDonald’s running out of Szechuan sauce, but now there is a bigger issue. Co-creator and writer Dan Harmon revealed on Twitter…
