Your Sign vs God
Posted by Chancellorit's true, i've noticed my thoughts and intentions have more power when spoken and written. i need to read the bible aloud more often too.Posted by exoskeleton_Posted by ChancellorPosted by exoskeleton_Posted by ChancellorPosted by exoskeleton_
we should note that atheists are also struggling or have struggled at some point with their faith/belief system and that's normal. i know a few proclaimed atheists who still pray when shit gets hard and/or their family is still religious so they still follow certain traditions. and they're not all aggressive about their atheism either.
They always pray to God when things get serious. I know a real-life mobster who got saved by being in a shootout.
sad, but we all don't spend enough time in prayer. i'm working on it myself.
I find it's harder to spend time in prayer than it is to study. That's something I must work on also.
we can start by making small changes. i have a mini bible i should carry with me and read that in spare time instead of my phone. i've heard there's some good bible apps as well with daily scriptures. have any methods or recommendations?
Why, yes! My first recommendation is that you must counter every thought with words spoken from your mouth. Have you ever noticed that when you start talking, you stop thinking? Count to 10 in your head. Now, at second #5, say "God is good."
Boom, you've just learned how to hold thoughts captive as the Bible commands us to do in the book of Philippians.click to expand

⏳ Take me back to a time before responsibilities and bad relationships.
First thing I think of is letting whatever semblance of a relationship my father and I had die out. I never felt close, connected or bonded with him - couldn't tell ya jackshit about him...no favorites, no dreams, etc. I can tell you that from my end, being the child, that I had to call him if I wanted to see him. I got ahold of him for dinners, he and my mom had a schedule worked out for holidays and birthdays but otherwise I don't remember hearing from him first. I never slept over at his house, I remember about 3 times when I was in elementary school that I did stay over at his house, otherwise it was my grandparent's.
Anywho, by my college years our relationship was strained, barely existing and maybe had I not had so much resentment built up, we would still be okay. He's divorced now and all alone and I don't like it even tho I feel like he never wanted a kiddo, yet here I am.
I rambled, shit. I'd go back n try to have a legit relationship w/my father. Somewhere along the line it got lost n now I don't think we can retrieve it.

Due to covid, sports media are spending time talking about things from the past, locally, nationally, and internationally.
Soccer is my main sport. Covid aside, I still play, coach, and am a community builder in the sport. There have been articles/stories about past figures and accomplishments in the local media in recent months.
Soccer games in the local men's league used to be televised locally, as were many of my games. There have been soccer stories in the local media, as well, talking about what the quality of the men's league used to be before. (It sucks now, but I'm working with others to get it back.) People have been posting videos of these games online so I've gotten to see myself, relive some memories, and jog some I thought I forgot. Our old team manager died a couple of years ago and he was a great guy. I got to see him play as an older guy competing younger guys, right before I joined the team at 16, which was pretty amazing.
Anyway, I developed with a young, fit team that had a arch-rival made up of guys who were older than us and where it took us a few years to handle them and dominate the league. I just watched our last league game in our special season, where we took the league and playoffs, going undefeated.
I'm a pretty good player, but I was near the middle of the pack in terms of talent with this team. I was in great shape at the time -- could outrun a teammate (in long distance) who later played for our national team, a guy who trained constantly. I wasn't the fastest guy on the team, maybe third or fourth fastest in sprints, but I think I was the fastest when chasing the ball though. I recall a teammate seeing me on TV as we watched ourselves at our club one time: "I can't believe how fast ____ is." I was lean but strong, like a gazelle. My main nickname was 50/50. A 50/50 ball is a ball between two players. I was the guy who got that ball and got it to the better players who scored the goals. I would do this in practice too with my teammates. To their amazement, I would always come up with the ball in one of those battles, where the other guy would feel the brunt of contact, but I'd just keep going, like the Energizer Bunny, which was another nickname. lol
Anyway, during that last league game we were playing against a lesser opponent (a team who barely made the playoffs), and our goalkeeper let in a couple of softies early on. We even pulled him as he was dealing with an injury too. I score a lot more now than back then with this team. I scored the first goal of the game on a nice one-time shot from a firmly crossed ball. I was impressed watching it again. I came out of nowhere to beat the guy covering me and connected well. For our second goal, I did my job winning the ball in my own end as a midfielder and passing it off to set us up for quick attack goal that I was nowhere near in the end. We were down 3-2 late in the game, when I found some space on the wing to deliver a perfect cross to one of our defenders (huge guy) who had pushed forward for this tying goal. He finished beautifully and we tied the game, before dominating in the playoffs. I basically put it where only he could get it and I remember trying to target him and striking it perfectly.
This was a great team. We had some younger players who played post-secondary where we lost them before the end of the local soccer season in the next couple of years. I also injured my knee severely the following season, with a harsh tackle from behind, then getting reconstructive surgery a couple of years later. (ACL) I'm still quite fast and agile, but that was the last year I had with full functionality too.
I would go back to that undefeated season. I'd probably score a few more goals too. lol

I can read Scorpios easily, most of them anyways.
Yes Cancer reads Scorpio well. They love Cancers especially the men.

I’m not one to read about sport naturally but I enjoyed reading this. 😊 I would read your blog if you had oneclick to expand
Oh now I didn't check the house my progress moon is in. I don't know about all that. But I'll check it out whenever I can stop being so God for bidden lazy.
I read somewhere you said progressed moon stay in each sign for approximately 2 and a half years. I hope mines stay in Pisces much longer than that. I'll claim that as my natal.

Posted by LittleStar_IIYour parents made you do all that? 😐Posted by Marai
My childhood I'd like to do over again. No care, no responsibilities. Just climbing in trees, playing hide and seek in the cornfields, building tents and camping in the back garden.. yeah 😌
Not running 3 miles 5 days a week and other work outs on top of that and dieting and taking 30 vitamins and having juice for lunch and never eating junk food for 7 years would have been nice.
Not being allowed to have friends and being isolated or other priorities while still being expected to do well in school.
Not being screamed at for coming in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 9th in the nationally junior Olympics because the times weren’t good or it wasn’t a perfect race would have been nice.
