-The piano player

In brotherhood we hold this prayer

My brother prays only to above

With his sweet melodies

Through the keys that hold the lock

To the lord he sends his cries

Down below it’s all we hear

My brother has a pedestal

Which bears his seeing eye

Yet all that looking could never show him

The hell that he has brung to earth

The routine of a virtuous woman to inspire your own

She wakes up earlier than all others at home - (Proverbs 31:15)

Dedicates her first moments in the morning to God (Proverbs 31:30)

Prepares the family meal with calm and organize her daily tasks (Proverbs 31:15)

Takes care of her appearance - not be complimented by people outside, but by her own family (Proverbs 31:25)

Takes care of her family needs and do the daily maintenance of her home (Proverbs 31:27)

Works with effort and dedication. Wherever she goes she’s a testimony of her family’s good reputation (Proverbs 31:13)

Tries to be creative and bring new investments and opportunities to her family (Proverbs 31:16)

Even at night she’ll save some energy and liveliness to use with her husband (Proverbs 31:18)

When Sacred History is read through the prism of food

When Sacred History is read through the prism of food

“Hey Mom, can we ‘craft’ food?” », my 7-year-old granddaughter asked me the other day. the pain! But the real philosophical questions definitely come out of the mouths of children. And are generally quite revealing of what is not quite right: in this case, in our all-technological societies, where we think that it is enough to press a button to obtain everything we longed for. Start all over…

My mom and my catholic friend helped me become ‘reborn’ and Jesus talked directly to me through a book, he told me we were chill and he loved me and stuff. I was very shocked that Jesus Christ was just suddenly talking to me through books.

any understanding of irish history of the last 500 yrs has to explicitly contend with ireland functionally having a caste system wherein your specific religious denomination roughly determined your class status ie. relationship to land ownership and the means of production. the common presentation of ireland being simply a matter of 'religious conflict' obfuscates that if you lived in the island of éire your position in society was nearly entirely determined by the religious sect you were born into, with some degree of economic movement (should you convert to a different sect but even then you would still be distrusted) and variability of the precise nature of one's economic status, ex. you could have some degree of land and wealth as a catholic but it was constantly being cut apart and taxed heavily, you couldn't attend school, you were often terrorized by both official and unofficial roving gangs of protestant soldiers and settlers, etc. but it often wasn't enough to simply be a protestant, you had to be anglican - a follower of the church of england - and if you were presbyterian (like most scots-irish) or from another protestant denomination your position was somewhere in between anglicans and catholics, and the rights of nonconformists (the term used for non-anglican protestants) often fluctuated depending on the material demands of the anglican ruling class, and whether it economically benefited them to gain favour with nonconformists or not. but the primary conflict was the mass extraction of capital from the catholic majority, to line the pockets of the anglican land (and later factory) owners and most importantly the coffers of the british empire. this relationship between religion and class is fundamental to having any degree of understanding of irish history

What do you think Jesus's first word was?

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. "Annunciation" (announcing something) and "enunciation" (pronouncing something) are two words that sound very similar, so I took the Biblical Annunciation (when the angel Gabriel announced Christ's birth to Mary) and set it beside an imagining of Jesus pronouncing -- or enunciating -- His first word. I alluded to this pun a couple weeks ago in a previous cartoon's description, then decided it ought to have its own comic. 2. My sisters suggested "Abba" as Jesus's first word. I thought it was perfect, because it's a plausible first word for a baby, since it's made up of simple syllables -- like "mama" or "dada" -- but it's also got that Son-of-God vibe to it.

no seriously the way gwayne and alicent struggle so much to be sincere and to comfort each other. The want is there. the need is there. but how embaressing would it be to sucumb to it. its sooo catholic of them its so funny. Like this whole idea that needing comfort, physical comfort especially, is weakness. The idea of faith as the only comfort. Lighting candles to feel their warmth because to hold your children, your siblings, your parents, would be to tell them that you need them. That you cant cope on your own. Gwayne speaking softly and reaching for Alicents hand as he turns to leave, because to make eye contact would be too much. could open the floodgates. 30+ years of pretending to be just fine on your own. without a mother. seperated from each other. where making eye contact, seeing that all along they wanted to hold your hand too, would be too much. No, you need to just... get on with it.
