Jacinda's Thoughts.

it went from Holocaust deniers to "hitler did nothing wrong" jokes to now "if one Jewish person did one bad thing, then they're all bad!!!" - It's giving Hitler and Haman lol

It kinda sucks, because since Trump has been president, you do see more patriotic ads and such but it also seems like conservatism may have become a trend where some people are using it to get in and spew some nonsense/hate.

And then if they claim Christianity, seems trendy for a larger audience but I don't think anyone is buying it, sometimes it is giving angry Discord rant. lol

It's kinda wild to think replacement because I think of Romans 10:12 - God saves all, he's not replacing anyone or anything. He fulfilled the law, died for us, rose again and gg wp, believe and follow him; like...that's so easy.

Idk how we allowed so many things to just be….allowed. lol

Like, a boy is a boy. A girl is a girl.

Just call things as they are.

You can transition all you want, take all the hormones you want but you'll always be that same gender you're born as, and forcing/pushing it on everyone else to follow along with your CHOICE to CHANGE, it's really no more than a kid screaming with a wizard hat on saying "NO!! CALL ME A WIZARD!" :|

Again, if you're wondering how this even came ot be; allowing 11yr olds life altering surgery because whatever - Christians and other people told you that it was a slippery slope to allow certain subsets to gain prominence. Don't forget NAMBLA and MAPs exist and are trying to get traction/normalization.

And if people allow MAP type 💩 under the "mental health matters!!" umbrella, you're fudged.

This is a devotional I read on Biblehub, ngl I am loving these new devotionals they added :D ------------------------------------

Made New from the Inside Out

There is a moment, known fully to God and often only gradually to us, when everything changes. In Christ, you are not just slightly improved, patched up, or given a spiritual “second chance.” You are made new from the inside out. Today’s verse describes a complete shift of identity and destiny: the old life under sin’s rule is gone; a new life in union with Jesus has begun. The question is not whether this is true for every believer—it is. The question is whether we will dare to live like it.

A Miracle, Not a Makeover

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Those words are not poetry; they are spiritual reality. When you turned to Christ, God didn’t just clean up your record; He gave you a new heart and a new spirit. Long before you could feel it or understand it, the Lord fulfilled His promise: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:26). Deep in the core of who you are, there was a miracle.

This changes how you see yourself when you fail, when you’re tempted, when old habits knock on the door. You are not your past. You are not the sum of your worst decisions. You are not the label that sin or shame or other people stuck on you. In Christ, your truest, most real identity is “new creation.” The enemy wants you to believe you are still fundamentally the old you, trying hard to act like a Christian. God says you are fundamentally new, learning to walk in what He has already made you to be.

Letting the Old Stay Buried

If the old has passed away, why does it sometimes feel so alive? Because while your heart is made new, your flesh, your habits, and your thought patterns still need renewing. Scripture calls this the daily work of putting off and putting on: “to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:22–24). The old “self” is like a set of filthy clothes that no longer fit who you are.

This means you don’t negotiate with your old life; you leave it in the grave with Jesus. When shame whispers, “This is just who you are,” you answer with the Word: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). When an old temptation shows up, you don’t say, “That’s my true self calling.” You say, “That’s my old self, and it died with Christ.” The new creation reality frees you to repent quickly, receive forgiveness confidently, and get up again, because the cross settled who you are.

Living the New Life by Faith

Being a new creation does not mean you live by sheer willpower; it means you live by a new power. Paul describes it this way: “I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me” (Galatians 2:20). You were not only forgiven by Christ—you are indwelt by Christ. The One who conquered sin and death now lives His life in and through you.

Today, you get to practice this. When you face a situation that would normally trigger fear, anger, or compromise, pause and remember: “I am a new creation in Christ. Jesus, live Your life through me right now.” The more you think this way, the more your feelings and choices begin to align with the truth. And you can rest in this promise: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6). The God who made you new will keep shaping you to look like His Son.

And then the idea of just being "stuck in suburbia" vs some wild life - you can still be hotshot on Wall Street or whatever and have a beautiful family and be thankful. Life isn't an all or nothing thing, be thankful, fr fr. 😭💔

Ayyyee that mentality is so tiring and exhausting, and that whole idea of like... Main couple not communicating, the cheating, and then the cringe opening scene - there were just so many tropes that irked me 🫩😐

Also the MC's friend was low-key insufferable, and they way movies seem to always try to sneak nudity and such in way too often 😭 like CHILL, no one wants to see any of that nor is it needed

Marriage is not an unavoidable, miserable curse that strikes without input or will from both parties, I've never bought into that idea or thought. Marriage is not bad.

You're not being "tied down" - don't buy into the idea of sleeping around; you'll find yourself feeling empty and sad.

It was also proposed to the ACC to move a football game to Saudi Arabia, while there was a fundraiser trip, too.

Eh, may not seem that deep but I think this can have bigger implications. I don't think it's a good idea to let a country like Saudi Arabia buy into EA, make it privatized and host a college football game; one of the oldest bowl games at that.

People just need to speak truth. I don't feel like we always need to be eloquent/wordy to prove something; truth is truth if it's 4 words or 400 words.

Nor do you need to agree with someone 100% of the time for them to be right. It's immature to think like that.

Mom, dad, kids; Grandma and Grandpa; it wasn't Mom and Mom, fur baby and plant.

I mean, it is what it is. 🤷🏿‍♀️ Original intent was to try to explain it for those who are super duper noob new to Christianity.

I didn't deny the divinity or anything of Christ and the Trinity. I saw people throwing around "modalism!!!" along with heresy.... yeah nah, not my intention. Simply wanted to explain the Trinity in a way to make it easier for everyone.
