Positivity, Good News Only Thread

I guess I disappeared for a while because TBH I'm a little tired of the anonymity that is the rule here and have been saying all of the things that will get me in trouble and put on government watch-lists IRL and under my real identity instead. 😁

But I do have some good news!

It's early yet, but if all goes well, my husband and I are expecting a baby in late February.

He's gone from not wanting to have a baby ever (few years ago), to being so happy and excited that he's the one running around telling everyone! 🥹

Anyway. It made me think of all you here who are on this journey of uncertainty with me (can I even get pregnant still??? I asked myself for a long time), and I'm doubling down my prayers for everyone hoping to welcome a precious little spirit into the world. 🤗

Much love to all. ❤️

🇬🇪❌🚨‼️ The Georgian Parliament approved in the first reading a bill banning LGBT propaganda and more.

The ruling “Georgian Dream party”proposes to ban:

1) same-sex marriage:

The bill prohibits same-sex marriage, as well as registration of relationships if at least one partner in a pair "classifies himself as a different biological sex."

2) gender reassignment:

Doctors will not be able to perform surgical operations and other manipulations that contribute to the transgender transition
- adoption of children by non-heterosexual or queer people

3) LGBT propaganda:

it is prohibited to advertise, contribute to educational programs or distribute in educational institutions and broadcasts information that is aimed at "popularizing" transgenderism and same-sex relations.

It will be prohibited to provide access to such information to minors.

For the same purpose, it is forbidden to hold public meetings - that is, rallies and processions.

Broadcasters will not be able to broadcast scenes depicting intimate relations between members of the same sex. The same paragraph prohibits the broadcast of incest scenes - thus the authorities actually equate LGBT+ sexual relations with incest.

4) Adopting children:

The bill also says that queer people will be banned from adopting children. Looks like it’s enough to be a “they” to get disqualified.
 
I don't know why, but reading these made me kinda feel like I want to learn Latin.


It's a worthy pursuit. I taught myself a lot of Latin years ago. Got to where I could read Caesar and St. Augustine fairly well, only having to consult a dictionary once in a while. One nice thing is that if you're interested in Christian Latin, it's generally much easier to read than most of the Pagan authors.
 
It's been a little while since I did this, but the really exciting "King Swing" part of climbing El Capitan:

My dad passed away about a month ago, so my kids have been asking LOTS of questions about God and death.

Yesterday we didn't goto church because I had a really bad migraine so rested in bed.

My 4 year old son was really upset we missed church and was crying.

I asked him why he was crying that we missed church, we'll go next week.

His reply, "I just love God so much".

:oops:😍😭

From a 4 year old...
 
Ok, I'll give it a shot. :)

I love my wife @Mrs TexasJenn with all my heart, soul, mind, body, spirit, second only to Christ himself. She has blessed my life beyond compare and I do not deserve her but thank God she still loves me anyway. I have let her and myself down many times but she has forgiven me and displayed the loyal, noble, loving character of a Saint (honestly she might actually be one, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see).

We originally met on RVF and while it may be a long shot, Lord willing, maybe the same blessing might happen for someone else on this new forum. That is a big part of why I agreed to help out (and to honor and continue the tradition of where we met). I hope and pray you meet someone really special here, or at least make some nice friends, and in any case that we enjoy the fellowship and continue to grow closer to Christ together each day.

God bless, amen. ☦️ 🙏 🕊️

In Christ,
