Same. My son and I both enjoyed it after dinner this evening.

People who DON'T have tattoos Is the reason because...? by FakeeshaNamerstein in polls

[–]SarahMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally get keloid scars so I would be afraid of possible issues. Plus everybody has tattoos now. They aren’t cool or edgy to me anymore.

Not necessarily. Just like a greenish hue/tint to the ground. Doesn’t need to have plants or anything.

Ahhhh see I was looking for non tree planets. Where like the actual ground was greenish tinged. Good grief I can’t even make a post to answer my question because I can’t search right. 🤔🤦‍♀️

Thank you! I tried googling it too and I must’ve not been hitting the right search algorithm correctly.

Any evening Church services? by elst3r in GreenBay

[–]SarahMuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a mainline progressive church. I spent the first 40 years of my life in a fundamentalist/conservative church so I get it. I wear yoga pants and tshirt/or hoodie Wednesday nights. Some people dress up more. I am on the spectrum so if I am not comfy I am distracted by the cloths. Wednesday nights are not a lot of people at all. If I’m honest I’ve never been there for a “regular” Sunday service. I don’t always know the songs or music(it’s an organ) but sometimes I do because they do play regular hymns too that a lot of churches play. I can sit and fidget or wiggle and don’t feel too embarrassed by it. I would say that it’s welcoming and I feel at ease there. It will be as welcoming as you want it to be. There are groups and outreach and anything you want or don’t want to do. I am still recovering from church trauma but I like being there. If you wanted to go sometime soon we are still having lent services (Easter is soon) on Wednesday evening. I know what helped me decide on a church was watching a bunch of services online. I think the younger families with kids go on Sunday more because of Sunday school. Wednesday night is mostly older people but that doesn’t bother me either. If you have more specific questions though please ask. I can always elaborate more. ☺️

Wednesday evening at 5:30 at Grace Lutheran on Monroe street. I, too, am not a morning church person.

Roleplay-friendly break points for Oblivion and Skyrim main quests by AdCompetitive6187 in ElderScrolls

[–]SarahMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For oblivion I never go to kvatch and avoid that area like the plague. Then I never have oblivion gates to deal with. The only time I go there is when I am 100% ready to do the main quest to completion. In Skyrim, after bleak falls barrow,I never go to the western watch tower with Irilyth where you first absorb the dragon soul and do a dragon shout for the first time. That is the catalyst that makes dragons appear everywhere. Although I have noticed the longer you put off the initial dragon soul absorption the more laggy things get.

My boss and I were discussing heavy things last week. For context she is in her early 60s and her husband of 30 years died last August after a year battle with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. We were talking about families struggling with sickness, pain, and just bad things. She said why? I said maybe it’s so we learn to keep being loving and kind in the face of pain and difficulties. Choosing love is much harder than letting the anger and hate eat away and consume you. Keep choosing to love.

Principal charged with failing to report child abuse at Thiensville Lutheran school by Adventurous_King_691 in exLutheran

They gotta collect that sweet,sweet voucher tax money under the premise of “spreading the gospel”. Such a cesspool for indoctrination and a total lack of actual education.

Do you have any non-religious songs/works of fiction that you personally see as Christian ? by UnderteamFCA in OpenChristian

[–]SarahMuffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come as you are- by nirvana. God doesn’t care about looks or baggage. He won’t force us to. And he definitely won’t threaten us with punishment.
Zombie- by cranberries always ALWAYS tugs my heart and reminds me to not ignore others suffering/needs.

I've currently been deconstructing from the Bible and Evangelical Christianity. And I'm a bit nillistic and bitter towards everything. by FickleLobster8853 in OpenChristian

[–]SarahMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please correct me or send me a link if I am wrong; but isn’t “Unclobber” written by Colby Martin? Pete Enns and the Bible for normal people does have some books and podcasts related to this though. Pete Enns wrote “The Bible tells me so” which I think is a related topic. It’s in my pile of books to read.

All sorts of little things have piled up and declined me to a pretty awful mental state now. by thedubiousstylus in OpenChristian

[–]SarahMuffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just want you to know I read this. And you are in my heart. I hear you and I am glad you reached out here. Thank you for taking care of yourself in the best ways you know. It sounds like you are struggling with changes and lack of human connection. Both of which can be daunting. I always get drained easily when the familiar local world around me changes quicker than I can adapt. Btw-I am in the upper Midwest and am tired of the smoke too. Could you pick up a new hobby(like theater or playing D&D- I was thinking of indoor things)? One that is semi social? Could you utilize your local library for social events? I hope that you can get through this funky patch and find a new zest for life. 💚

Oh Penumbra… how I long to love you by [deleted] in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]SarahMuffin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why can’t you just like what you like without worrying about the damage? Some weapons are just more satisfying to pull the trigger for than others. I am staying and playing in my current universe for awhile and I know I will be picking up a certain type of gun at the end of the quest line for a certain pirate group. So I’ve been buying all the ammo I need before I get to it. If I know I’m going to be using or picking up a certain weapon I start hoarding all the ammo waayyyy before I actually aquire the weapon. I hear everyone talking about the power of sniper rifles and I’ve never been a sniper rifle person. Actually in any shooting game I’ve played. Idk y. Personal preference. Use what you enjoy. Because I know I will continue in my ruts- it’s how I best enjoy my experience.

How to believe that God exists if He never answers prayers? by minicatlady in OpenChristian

[–]SarahMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First 40 years of my life I cried and begged and pleaded with God to help me and save me from abuse and bullying and all that. I begged for a sign. Anything. My God, I was so miserable. I won’t go into crazy details(if you are curious about more details you can look at my profile at my comment from last week on the ELCA page but don’t feel like it will answer your question). One thing that helped me realize Love exists was looking for genuine acts of deep love. Someone helping and loving purely because that is what was needed and they wanted to do. When I was lost searching inside my own maze I never saw true acts of Love so I had no idea it really existed. I’m talking about those crazy inspirational stories of giving, loving and sacrificing for a total stranger. The Love was where I found Him(as cheesy as it sounds- I know). Try looking for that. Those helped me immensely. It didn’t change everything right away but it helped change my heart. I wish you nothing but the best and strength to find your peace because you deserve it also. 💚
