🧁🧸:*: 🎀 :*:。 Hi, my sweet friends !!

I don’t think I’ve shared an outfit of the day in a while so I wanted to try! ♡

This is a simple look, but I had a cardigan over it earlier and it was very nice c:

(This is an outfit I wear a lot — I love skirts like this cause they go with so many things!)

What about everyone else? Was there anything nice about your day, too ??

I’m sorry I haven’t been around or speaking as much lately! This is just a busy time of year for me, and I hope no one feels ignored ♡

Seeing everyone’s kind words here really brightens my mood, and makes me smile though !!

Thank you *so* much! It means a lot to me, and I am giving all that love back times a *million* in return! ♡

ALL THE REP TV EASTER EGGS IN THE NEW AFTERGLOW MV !!

The first image shows a graveyard that we saw in the background when actors Charlie and YN were walking down a path, it’s the same one from the LWYMMD music video. When they were on a date at Olive Garden (which was included in NBNC and this song has a rep feel to it) YN’s phone has new year’s day playing and one of the rings on her hand is a snake ring. The black and white colour scheme of the heart on the building is the same as the reputation colour scheme. The TS written in the sand was first thought to be a Debut (Taylor’s Version) hint but after the overpowering reputation hints perhaps it means reputation (Taylor’s Version). There was a bracelet in the background of YN and Charlie’s kiss in the mv (which took place in YN’s bedroom) where in the background there was a black bracelet among the pink colour scheme that said “REP”. The paper on Charlie’s desk littered with kisses from YN had lyrics to So It Goes… on it.

No thoughts just preacher Rhett wiping his cum off the corner of your mouth in front of everyone at the Easter brunch

￫ a/n: a short drabble for the ‘ptolemaea. | the verses.’ universe and a follow up of this drabble here.

￫ c/w: mentions of sex, cum eating and cum being displayed inappropriately.

after rhett had finished inside of you, he shoved two of his slender fingers inside of your swollen cunt and scooped out his spend. you eagerly took his two fingers into your mouth and sucked them down greedily. he did it once more and you sloppily ran your tongue over his fingers and gathered what you could of his spend.

the easter sunday sermon was over and the church was holding the easter brunch. you went about the afternoon to the best of your ability. your knees were weak, your eyes were glazed over and your brain was foggy. you struggled to form sentences as the towns people made polite conversation with you and complimented you on your wonderful contribution to the church. how you were always willing to stay late and help preacher abbott clean up and prepare for the next day, how you were always seeking out his guidance and your return to faith was truly remarkable.

rhett caught light of this conversation and inserted himself amongst the small crowd you were speaking with. he was stood right next to you. you could feel the post sex body heat radiating off him and you swore you could still smell your cunt on his lips.

his lips quirked up into a smile as he agreed with the others, “oh yes, they’ve been so helpful. i’m thrilled about their willingness to take the hand of god again.” at that moment, rhett placed his hand on your shoulder and gave it a harsh squeeze. the fiery heat from the hand of god itself burned through the thin fabric of your sundress.

“oh,” rhett called out your name and you turned towards him, “you’ve got something…” before you could register, rhett’s thumb was wiping away his spend from the corner of your mouth. to the residents of wabang, they were none the wiser to what it was, but from his angle, rhett could see the clear shine reflecting off the sun.

your cheeks burned hotter than the spring sun in wabang as your preacher wiped his sticky cum off the corner of your mouth in front of the town.

I don’t really have anywhere else to journal this and I think it’s going to be long so I’ll add a cut.

My dad is dying. He has been for a while now. In nursing we talk about actively dying versus not. He is not. But he has a terminal disease and there are no further treatment options and he is housebound now. So he is dying.

My dad grew up in a very strict Christian household. He was active in youth group and youth for Christ and all that. He was also a hippie, and a socialist and he saw a very clear connection between the socialism we have in Canada and Christ’s ministry. When he met my mum, they were both recently divorced and after a whirlwind romance, married. They tried to find a church - my mum had only every kind of attended but if it was important to him she would. They basically got snubbed because they’d been previously married and the hurt was deep enough that they never went to church again.

I grew up with limited Christian rearing. My dad read the Christmas story on Christmas Eve. I went to Bible camp for three years, my best friend took me to youth group and church sometimes and every Easter we watched Jesus Christ Superstar. Very unorthodox but still Christian enough upbringing.

My dad remained a very spiritual man, and aside from not attending church, remained devout in his faith.

I wandered a number of paths. I got very extreme in my beliefs for a while until I saw the damage that particular church was doing to me and walked away from it. I got close with paganism, and have held to that for the last number of years.

But my dad is dying. And as he prepares for this, he is exploring his faith more. He’s watching sermons and church services online, from here in town and from elsewhere in the world. He’s found some incredible preachers and churches that are warriors for equality and diversity, who love and accept and welcome everyone regardless of anything - including sexual orientation. This is so important to me as the parent of a queer child.

Dad has been excited to find churches that align with his beliefs and has been excited to share with me - I’m over every day. At first I was only listening to be tolerant but this journey with dad has been harrowing and I have never felt so alone as I have, facing my upcoming orphaning hand in hand with my dad.

It has been so comforting to read in a Bible again. It has been so good to think my mum and dad will soon be reunited, and not just when I add his ashes to the memorial box he made.

I didn’t plan on having a 48-year crisis of faith. But it has felt like a homecoming to find god again, and feel less alone. I’m not disparaging other gods or other religions, it’s just that other gods leave you to your own devices to work things out on your own most of the time, and right now I need someone to lean into.

I wouldn’t have been able to feel this way if my dad hadn’t found post-evangelical pastors teaching Bible-based inclusion and tolerance. It’s nice to think my girl isn’t damned because of who she is. It’s nice to think I’m not either. It’s nice to think about an afterlife where I get to see loved ones again.

Anyhow, that’s what’s up with me.

Abby's Basic Info

Name: Abigail Rose O’Brian

Abby's faceclaims were pretty easy, actually. For the 60s - Patty Duke (The Patty Duke Show); the 80s - Ally Sheedy (The Breakfast Club); the 90s - Natalie Portman (Star Wars); and now - Isabella Sermon (Jurassic World).

Nicknames: Abby, Abs, Pinkie Pie (not only a My Little Pony reference as she was addicted to it as a child, but also due to her wearing shades of pink more than any other color)

Age: 14

Date of Birth: December 13

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Birthstone: Turquoise

Nationality: Native American, Irish, and French-Canadian

Sexuality: Lesbian (closeted)

Birthplace: Elliot Hospital, Manchester, New Hampshire

Current Residence: Gray Road, Sanbornton, New Hampshire

Occupation: High school freshman and goalie on the local soccer team 

Talents/Skills: Acting, memorizing just about anything, getting good grades despite not studying, and telling terrible puns

Birth order: Middle

Siblings: Vivien (older) and Oliver (younger)

Parents: Damien Lucas O’Brian and Chelsea Alisha Mays

Signature:

Height: 5’3”

Race: White

Eye Color: A brown and green blend

Hair Color: Brown if she has it cut short, but it looks dirty blonde if it’s long

Glasses or contact lenses: Though she is the only one in the family who doesn’t need them for some reason or another, Abby wears them to feel closer to her family

Distinguishing features: Two streaks of colored hair framing her face that normally match the season/upcoming holiday (orange for Halloween, red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter, etc)

Mannerisms: Using pencils as hair ties, spinning her rings, muttering to herself to keep her thoughts in order, and constantly licking her lips despite always having a Chapstick with her

Health: She has eczema on her hands, anxiety related to school, and a binge-eating disorder coupled with high metabolism

Hobbies: Photography, reading, watching 80s movies, imagining herself on Broadway, and playing ukulele 

Greatest flaw (in their opinion): How much she relies on other people’s opinions of her. While Abby doesn’t really care much what her friends think of her, her family’s opinions of her mean more than she’d ever let on. Oliver has always been there for her (despite those glorious 13 minutes while he was still in the womb) and his opinion of her has never changed, which she’s more than grateful for. Her dad adores her and treats her with respect and love, something she admires him for to no extent. The only people she worries about - whether they know it or not - are Vivien and their mother. While she definitely looks up to her mother (which I elaborate more on in her fears), their relationship is rocky at best. She feels pushed in the direction her mother wants her to go instead of being loved for who she is and what she wants. Vivien, thankfully, is the opposite of that. Abby has idolized Vivien for as long as she can remember and has tried following in her footsteps for just as long. They spend evenings together, watching old movies and just hanging out and, though they both have friends of their own, Abby loves the times when she can just sit with her sister and ignore the stress of the world. Though they’re very close, Abby’s respect and idolization of her sister has made it ridiculously hard for her to take any constructive criticism Vivien gives her. This one-sided strain has made it exceedingly hard for Abby to tell Vivien much about her personal life, any struggles she might have, her relationships, and her sexuality despite knowing her sister would accept her no matter what - leaving her feeling somewhat isolated from everyone.

Best quality (in their opinion): How versatile she can be. As long as she puts her heart into something new - ukulele, bass guitar, studying new subjects, trying new sports - she can become great at them. She loves trying new things, but the idea of not being great at something stops her from venturing too far out of her little bubble of comfort.

Biggest fear: Imperfection. Though Vivien was the oldest and most esteemed child in their younger years, once the oldest of their family came out and started being her own person, their mother turned all her focus onto Abby, forcing her to be the golden child. Perfect grades were a must, gold medals and academic awards had to be won, and if something wasn’t done to her mother’s standards, Abby could feel dread settling in her bones. Though her mother never screamed at her, the disappointment and subsequent silent treatment were enough for her to know that she wasn’t good enough. She dreads the day when she has to come out to her mother because, despite her mother saying she's now perfectly fine with having two screw-up children in the “alphabet soup community,” Abby can’t imagine what will happen when her only remaining golden child comes clean. On top of that, what will happen when she finds out that Abby wants to be a theatre major instead of a lawyer? Until she turns 18 and can leave, Abby is perfectly content pretending to be her mother’s perfect child. Besides, it’s what she’s good at, right?

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

Favorite ice cream: Cherry Blossom

Favorite color: Peach

Favorite number: She doesn’t necessarily have one, but she loves Friday the 13th (not just because of the movies or her birthday), so that would most likely be her answer

Favorite songs: girls by girl in red, I’d Rather Be Me from Mean Girls the Musical, and all-american bitch by Olivia Rodrigo

A place they want to visit: Berlin, Germany

🧡🧼👻⛄📿 for Gia and/or Nikoletta?

Thank you!!

Thematic Headcanons

hc + 🧡 for a friendship-themed headcanon

Gia: When given the chance, she finds it very easy to actually make friends. The trouble comes from the fact that she rarely leaves the house, but she's actually quite good at connecting with people when she tries

Nikoletta: Cannot recognize how other people view her for the life of her. It probably stems from her rather isolated upbringing and even more isolated adulthood, but aside from generally knowing whether someone is an ally or an enemy, she can't recognize the "degrees" of friendship. Every time Harley invites her out for something, she's consistently surprised, regardless of how many times it happens.

hc + 🧼 for a hygiene-themed headcanon

Gia: Cannot use floral-scented soaps. She's around flowers all day, every day, so she doesn't need it following her more than it already does. And the fake flower scents give her a headache - real scents are better, but still overpowering.

Nikoletta: Her main splurge in their limited budget after leaving Belle Reve is on good-quality soaps and lotions. The soap at Belle Reve was harsh, and left her skin dry and her hair brittle and prone to breaking, and it was probably the worst part of prison for her. After she gets out, she makes it a point to treat her hair and skin right and find hygeine products she loves.

hc + 👻 for a headcanon about supernatural occurrences

Gia: Believes in religious spirituality, but not in ghosts of any sort. Her logic is that religion doesn't have to be physical in any way, it can be belief alone, but other supernatural beings like ghosts are empirical, and she hasn't had any sort of proof of that.

Nikoletta: Claims that she doesn't believe in ghosts or voodoo of any sort, she's looked at "haunted history" inside and out and is by now sure there's nothing legitimate past a little folklore, but... inwardly, she's a little more suspicious.

hc + ⛄ for a season-themed headcanon

Gia: The physical embodiment of springtime - she thrives when her clover thrives, so the spring months are always her happiest, healthiest, most optimistic months. If she's going anything that involves something that's normally scary for her, like going out for a day-trip or a night out with friends, it's best to plan those for April or May.

Nikoletta: Hates winter with a burning passion. Neither she nor Abner had ever seen a real, full snowfall before, so one time they took a three-day trip north to visit a moderately-nice resort and try a little skiing/sledding/other winter activities... Nik enjoyed the vacation itself, not to mention seeing how happy it made Abner, but the cold was a nightmare for her. She was an achy, fatigued, constantly-shivering mess.

hc + 📿 for a faith-themed headcanon

Gia: Being at HYDRA, in a strange way, actually renewed her faith in a higher power, since she comes to believe that God was the only reason she made it out alive and in reasonably-good shape when all the others died. She can't bring herself to leave the house for regular sermons, but she attends virtual church every Sunday and sometimes even convinces herself out to an actual church for Christmas, Easter, and other significant events.

Nikoletta: Aside from her skeptical half-belief in voodoo/Lwa spiritualism, she's never believed in religion of any sort. In fact, she verges on hostile towards it - if there was a God, or any gods, wouldn't they have put a stop to STAR Labs before they caused so much pain and death? She also has a lot of distrust towards metahumans who claim themselves to be gods - Wonder Woman is the main example, and Nanaue's on thin ice (it helps that he doesn't seem to realize he's supposed to be descended from a shark god, and doesn't talk enough to mention it)

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

To the preacher on Easter who didn’t:

• see record number attendance • preach your ‘best’ sermon • hear of any decisions for Christ • schedule baptisms today or the future • avoid criticism or issues • get enough rest (and probably won’t) • have opportunity to be yourself The Lord sees you, and you’re loved. - Alex G. Gonzales.

[ineffable-rohese]

I'm not a Christian, but I went to Christmas Eve service at the Anglican Cathedral tonight as is my custom. I go alone and sit in a room full of strangers and listen to old stories and sing old songs and cry at least once. It's a tradition I hold dear, and one I haven't been able to do for several years due to circumstances.

I was raised mainly Episcopalian (American Anglican), with most of elementary at Catholic schools. We also did Vacation Bible School at some mainline protestant church for a week or two most summers, probably because it was free childcare and was next to mom's work. But we didn't talk about religion or beliefs at home basically at all. My parents totally outsourced that.

I honestly liked Catholic school (other than the bullying, but that was a whole different issue). I liked going to Mass. It was at a Cathedral school, so the church was big and full of beautiful stained glass and statues and art. I remember a marble statue of Mary crushing a serpent beneath her bare foot, standing on the globe. And I loved the music. I loved singing the hymns. I loved the organ. I loved the ritual of all of it, too, the prayers and the vestments and the holy water and the standing up and the kneeling. It was clear and intentional and once you knew the rules (which they taught us), it felt good to be part of something where everyone acts together.

When I was 11-12, we moved and started going to the church near our house. Because I was a smart and responsible child and they were short on adults, I wound up teaching Sunday School for a year or so at around 13. I have no memory of what I was supposed to be teaching them. But despite mom strongly hinting (though never actually outright asking because we don't just ask people in my family), I never went to confirmation classes.

I still loved the ritual and the art and the building itself - a late 19th century replica of an older English church, lovely and un-modern and smelling of wood polish and candle wax. And, of course, I loved the music. I sang in the choir for years.

But sometime in early adolescence, I didn't so much lose faith as realize I didn't have any to begin with.

And, oh, I wanted to! My best friend was the child of a Methodist minister in town, and I went to their youth group (I was the only kid around my age in my congregation), and we'd go on retreats some times. And they'd talk about being filled with the holy spirit and living Jesus, and it seemed so comforting and ecstatic at the same time. I wanted it so much! The only time I felt close to what they seemed to describe was while I was singing. But once the music stopped, it was gone.

(Much, much later, I finally had that religious experience, but not with Jesus or the Holy Spirit or the Christian God. And it was everything I wanted then. Turns out I just needed a different form of deity. But this is not that story.)

But try as I might, Jesus just wasn't my guy.

There was a bit of queer rebellion in there, too. The new priest, who I liked (and who many years later extra-legally married my spouse and I), and who had shocked the congregation by preaching a pro-choice sermon on his first Easter, came out as gay. Now, the Episcopal Church as a whole didn't have a problem with this. They either recently had or were soon to have their first openly gay bishop. However, some of the old guard at the church did have a problem, and he got forced out. So like, there was apparently no theological problem with gay people. Just a cultural one. I wasn't even aware I was queer yet. I just thought it was hypocritical and shitty.

So why do I go to church by myself on Christmas Eve? I go as a way of honoring my family and my ancestors. And I go for myself.

There's power in rituals. Personal rituals have a certain amount of power. But collective rituals even more so. And rituals that have been done in more or less the same way at more or less the same time for hundreds of years are very powerful indeed.

How that power is used is important. I won't go to just any church. I've been in churches where they were actively praying against me and my family, or praying against bodily autonomy, or calling people I care about sinners. To my mind, that's an abuse of power and a failure to understand the words of the God you profess to follow.

(The Jesus I was raised with loved the outcast, stood with the marginalized, and cared for those whom others ignored or forgot. I have no beef with him. He's just not my dude.)

So I'm particular about what churches I go to, and what prayers I lend my power to. Tonight, the litany of prayer started with the King (which, lol, I forget we technically have one of those; he didn't get my prayers, sorry Charlie), but then was for the leaders of First Nations for true reconciliation, and then for the unhoused in our city. We prayed for Ukraine. We prayed for the Earth and the oceans (which included a fairly cutting jab at spending all our money on space exploration while the Earth burns) as the only source of life. We prayed for the people of Gaza and the West Bank and Israel, too, that there would be peace and an end to the humanitarian crisis and a just resolution. We prayed for our pets. We prayed for music and art and creative expression.

The power of all those people lending their thoughts and prayers, in this service at this time, with all the ranks of centuries of spiritual ancestors behind it, was palpable.

And I sang the old songs, together with a couple hundred strangers. I sang the songs my parents sang, and their parents, and their parents. "Silent night, holy night." I sang words my ancestors have sung or said or heard for a thousand years. "Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us." I heard the words they heard. "And there were shepherds abiding in their fields keeping watch over their flocks by night." And I say to them that their beliefs may not be my own, but that they are not forgotten. They are loved, and I am reaching out to them with words they will understand.

May Christmas be merry for all who celebrate. And for those who don't, may you find joy and connection in the ways that best serve you.

Easter 2023

Today I invited alot of my friends to come to church and I was blessed these ones were able to come and celebrate such a beautiful day. Jesus rose. I was upset at myself because I arrived to church an hour late focusing too much on the outfit and the look rather than the perfect holiday🤍 I was also underwhelmed at the service and disappointed to see the lack of Easter spirit my church used to have. Didn’t see many pastels. Didn’t enjoy the praise and worship and there wasn’t much of a sermon! Whew, I feel like today Jesus did NOT get the love and recognition He deserved, from me included. I was also disappointed to see the little recognition Jesus got as I flipped through Instagram stories, people partying. At clubs. On such an important and rich day. Not many seem to grasp the significance, people have lost the tradition. I pray we get that back, I pray people recognize ALOT more than they did this year. I pray the Word is better, that the praise and worship is best. Nonetheless, I was able to spend time with friends and we took alot of pictures. God is good🤍 Thank You Jesus so much death was not the end of Your story. Thank You that we are made new everyday. You are everything to me and more, I love You endlessly.

Hopping into Easter Fun: A Deep Dive into Singapore’s Vibrant Celebrations

Every year Singapore undergoes an exciting transformation as we approach Easter. The vibrant city-state is imbued with a spirit of freshness and excitement. Offering a unique blend of religious traditions, and family-oriented activities. And undeniable festive cheer when Easter Sunday (March 31, 2024); holds great significance for the Christian community Easter weekend all pulsates with excitement for people of all backgrounds This blog delves into how Singapore embraces Easter, exploring its religious significance. More family-friendly celebrations and impossible culinary delights prevent the period.

A Spiritual Journey: The Christian Observance of Easter

According to the 2020 Census, for a large number of Singaporean Christians, Easter is a cornerstone of their faith. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and this special event signifies hope, salvation, and everlasting life. Easter Sunday is preceded by a period of reflection and preparation known as Lent, a time of fasting, prayer, and charity

It’s Easter Sunday when the island nation’s churches come alive with a special service. The atmosphere is one of belief and joy. Choirs fill the air with uplifting music, while pastors deliver powerful sermons that delve into the meaning of Christ’s resurrection. Families attend church together, dress in their Easter best, and foster community and shared faith.

Beyond the formal services, many churches organize additional activities throughout the Easter weekend. These can include:

Sunrise services: Held outdoors in beautiful surroundings, this service offers a unique way to start Easter Sunday and connect with a spiritual message in a natural setting.

Children’s programs: Churches often host special Easter-themed events for children, including stories, music, and crafts. This not only makes young people happy but also helps them to understand the meaning of Easter interestingly.

Community meals: Some churches host potluck meals or charity events, fostering a sense of fellowship and giving back to those in need.

These activities show how the Christian community in Singapore celebrates Easter, strengthens their faith, and connects as they share the joy of the season.

Cracking Open Fun: The Allure of Easter Egg Hunts

Easter would not be complete without the iconic egg hunt, and Singapore wholeheartedly embraces this tradition. Malls, parks, zoos, and even residential areas are transformed into vibrant hunting grounds filled with colorful eggs. Armed with baskets and eager smiles, the children can see the excitement as they begin their quest. The thrill of discovery and the excitement of collecting hidden treasures make Easter egg hunts a popular activity for families.

This hunt isn’t just about collecting eggs; It provides a platform for creating lasting memories. Parents get to see the pure joy on their children’s faces every time they see a potato, and the friendly competition adds some fun. Many organizers take the experience a step further by hiding clues or puzzles inside the eggs. Taking children on a miniature adventure as the puzzles are explained

The creativity on this hunt goes beyond location. Organizers often customize the eggs. Filling them with candy, mini-games, or even vouchers for discounts at local stores. Some even opt for themed hunts, adding movie stars or cartoon characters to the mix, adding some familiarity and fun for the young participants.

A Feast for the Senses: Culinary Delights of Easter

Singapore’s reputation as a food paradise extends to Easter. Hotels and restaurants across the city are pulling out all the stops for a surprise Easter brunch. These lavish feasts are the highlight of the season, with families and friends gathered around the table relaxing under the weight of culinary bliss

Roast lamb is usually the centerpiece of the Easter feast in Singapore. Cooked to perfection, this is a dish with a festive food spirit. However, Singapore’s multicultural tapestry ensures that diversity is expanded. Restaurants offer options such as fried chicken, glazed ham, or roasted vegetarian to accommodate dietary preferences and religious restrictions

But the culinary journey doesn’t end there. Accompanying the main course is a symphony of side dishes, from roasted vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes to fluffy scalloped potatoes and tangy salads. No Easter brunch is complete without a selection of Easter-themed treats. Basket-shaped bread, fluffy hot cross buns studded with raisins and currants, and decadent chocolate eggs are just a few examples of the sweet temptations that grace the tables. If you’re in Singapore during Easter, don’t miss out on indulging in these delights while exploring the city with Trip Cabinet’s Singapore tour package.

I love my church’s worship team

first of all happy Easter second of all I am going to go left to right describing them

first we have Dylan your classic dad white man full beard dark hair slight tan a small arm tattoo typically a background singer about 6’3 friendly sweat pants and a t-shirt topped with a thin blue jacket

next we have Jacob and I can only describe him as a 5’7 Noah Kahan like he sings in that vibe a tenor but still our lead male folksy hair is about an inch below his shoulders and he wears a wide brim hat and like look up a picture of Noah kahan

then we have Stacy she’s amazing she’s our staple been there since we started blonde hair about mid back now just below her shoulders when curled just had her first kid and looks amazing

then we have Jon and Elyssa who are absolutely amazing people and bi panic I met Elyssa two years ago at a build event and she’s amazing the sweetest also really close with my best friends family so I have gotten to know Jon through them they also just had their first born son And so we are only really getting one or the other right now Elyssa typically wears her hair up or at her shoulders

Jon’s hair goes down his back and let me tell you this man has a range

then we have Brooke who is quiet but absolutely beautiful voice Black hair all the the way down her back blends beautifully with the rest of the team she is so full of energy on stage and off she is my best friends sister in laws sister so I probably would not have spoken to her without him

now onto our occasionally featured

Noah he is a tenor and a theater kid and it shows he is pretty deep into the church and has done sermons for the youth ministry and has a perm and I know this because he showed us pictures of him in high school and he has natural hair that would not hold a curl ever at all he’s a delight mid twenties but acts like he’s 6 energy wise I have known him for about a year and a half and he is involved in most conversations I have with Brooke.

then we have Sam who is my best friends brother and typically works with 10-12 year olds (kind sacrifice) tenor again I know crazy

curly hair that is short

Peter Went Fishing

Looking for the wishes and images of Palm Sunday 2024? Here are the latest pictures along with verses and sermons for you to make this day a memorable one. It is also known as the Sixth Sunday of Lent, Palm, and Passion Sunday. Palm Sunday is celebrated with the blessing and distribution of palm branches, representing the palm branches that the crowd scattered before Christ as he rode into Jerusalem. This cherished day marks the beginning of Holy Week, a solemn and deeply spiritual period leading up to Easter Sunday, the pinnacle of the Christian calendar.

I have come to sin on this holy day 🤣

Preacher!Rhett and his wifey and his children on Easter Sunday! His family sits front row as always, kiddos dressed in their extra Sunday best!! Wifey heavily pregnant with their…probably fifth…bc preacher!Rhett is a breeder and corrupted wifey to be an insatiable partner. Hehehe. But wifey is in a beautiful midi dress that proudly displays her bump! Being the extra insatiable wife she is she took a risk and wore nothing under her dress and during a particularly important part of Rhett’s sermon, she spread her legs just so to “pick up a stuffie” their youngest dropped. Rhett’s voice hitched and well let’s just say the kids got extra play time that afternoon.
