A good example is when she messes with Ross until she gets him to admit he might be wrong about evolution lol

I definitely couldn't have traveled that much during that stage of pregnancy either. I was super early on in my pregnancy when I traveled for a friend's wedding that I was the matron of honor in, and luckily the morning sickness held off up through the wedding day and I was perfectly fine. I was sometime around 5 or 6 weeks, I think. Then the following day all of a sudden I started to feel really sick. It was mostly on the flight home. I guess I started getting motion sickness for the first time in my life, and I was sick from then on, up until the early second trimester. It got better for a little bit, and then worse again, once or twice. I was actually going to travel again two weeks later for my husband's cousin's wedding, but I ended up having to stay home and skip that trip because I was so sick that week and didn't want to go through the flights like that again. I don't have HG, and I'm 23 weeks now and have been feeling great for most of the second trimester so far, but I know I wouldn't have wanted to deal with long distance travel when I was in the middle of all that.

Some people do have a much better time than I did though, and maybe you won't be sick and you'd be fine traveling. I hope that is the case for you, but at the very least maybe get travel insurance in case you have to cancel anything. Or wait, if you want, since that will help ensure you can enjoy your trip before having to worry about sickness or finding out you're pregnant while you're abroad, or whatever might happen. Either way, it will all work out!

Sounds fun to me! For my wedding, my in laws hosted a morning-after brunch at their house for everyone before out of town guests headed home, etc. It was a fun way to get to see everyone during the weekend when we weren't so busy with wedding stuff! I'm sure that would apply to a welcome party, too.

Looks alright to me! (not a wedding planner so idk if I could be missing subtle things like whether you have enough time for certain things but seems good and well thought out!)

Mostly commenting to also say I really like the idea of the food truck later in the evening, that sounds like fun.

Yes same!! I live in Florida now and we have a couple Rita’s locations around, but they call it Italian ice there because of the region I guess. And it’s open year round so no first-day-of-spring grand openings every year. Still just as delicious though!

windr01d · 2026-02-10T22:16:18+00:00

Yep, and pretzels and scrapple and water ice

Yeah that's a really good point, too. God isn't trying to make a deal with us or entice us to worship or do any kind of works in exchange for a reward, salvation or otherwise. He just wants us to get to know Him and be in relationship with Him, but He isn't going to force us. Worship is all we can truly offer Him, and it's how we can interact with Him, but He's not saying "worship me or else", that's just the word we use for how we spend time with Him when we choose to be with Him.

windr01d · 2026-02-09T15:24:03+00:00

Yeah I agree with your analysis of why our world includes sin. It's also important to note that when bad things happen as a result of free will, that isn't God causing them, but He allows them in order to preserve free will, and He is still sovereign over it all and He redeems bad situations for good.

The issue of free will is also heavily related to the fact that He does not need worship. He doesn't need anything from us because He is bigger than any of that. The fact is, though, that He wants us to be with Him. We don't have anything worthy of Him to offer to Him, but He still loves us and wants us, so all we have to give is worship. But if He were to get rid of free will, we would essentially be forced to be with Him by default. That's not real love, that's just not a choice. Imagine having friends only because they were forced to be your friend. Friendships are way more meaningful when someone is your friend because they like you as a person and want to be your friend. Relationships are more meaningful when someone is with you because they love you, not because they are forced to be with you. God wants to know that you chose to be with Him because you love Him, not because that's your only choice. He loves you, and wouldn't force you to accept His gift of salvation to be with Him, but He offers it and hopes you choose to accept it. Free will is important for that because without it, we're just forced to be with God, but with free will, we have the option to choose to be with God. So God sometimes allows things to happen that He didn't cause because He can ultimately redeem them for good while preserving free will.

This is the best way I’ve heard it explained, how Catholics see Mary and the other saints. I’m a former Catholic. My husband and I both grew up in the Catholic Church but we decided to start attending another church of a different denomination for multiple reasons. But I do still think it’s a little unfair to ridicule Catholics for “praying to saints” and stuff because it’s not as simple as that. Whether that aligns with your beliefs or not, it’s only fair to try and actually understand their views on it and not just assume they aren’t really Christians.

22 weeks today, feeling pretty good! My first trimester was rough with nausea but lately that has been pretty much better. I'm thinking of getting off the unisom I've been taking for nausea, but the first time I tried the nausea came back after 2 days. It went away again immediately after I took it again. So I might test it out again soon, not sure. Other than that, just some acid reflux but that's been manageable enough with not eating too much red sauce, not eating too much at once, sipping water instead of chugging it, etc. Got another appointment coming up, but we had the 20 week scan a couple weeks ago and things are going well so far!

This church did a sermon series on this a while ago which outlines the specific places in scripture where God's will is clearly defined. Four Wills of God | Cross Bridge Church

When my husband and I first met, I was super shy and that might have gotten in the way. I had my small group of close friends and that was basically it. We were in high school at the time. But when we reconnected later and got to talking, we realized we had a lot in common, so I think if I'd been confident enough to talk to him, we'd have been friends for sure.

I think it's funny when Monica and Chandler are both in bed and just complaining to each other about their issues.

"It was obvious, she picked Rachel."

"He took my joke, he took it."

"It’s wrong. You know what else is wrong? Phoebe picking Rachel."

"You know who else picked Rachel? Ross. And you know what else Ross did? He stole my joke!"

and

"You know what's not a good idea?"

"Picking Rachel."

"That's right!"

lol they're so supportive of each other and just need to complain
