Prayer of the Day — October 13, 2025

Graphic of a notebook with the following prayer: God of boundless love,
You formed us in Your image and breathed Your Spirit into our lungs.
Remind us today that every person we meet bears Your reflection—
that grace is not earned but shared,
that love is not limited but multiplied.
Teach us to see ourselves and one another as You see us:
worthy, beloved, and beautifully made.
Amen.

Under the prayer is a WiFi symbol (with a heart at the bottom and a red cross inside the heart).

So you’re claiming that the words in Matthew 5:13-16 were not the words of Jesus?

🩷💜💙 Not invisible the other 364,
but today? Extra sparkle ✨

I live on a spectrum of color,
not confined to boxes or halves.
Bi pride is infinite love,
shining in every shade. 🩷💜💙 #BiVisibilityDay

We are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Faith, and not for our own works or deservings.

Style Definition: Style is how people use cultural signals to express identity and belonging. On Twitch and TikTok, the whole “cozy streamer” vibe—soft lighting, lo-fi music, warm conversation—has become its own recognizable style. It tells you right away what kind of space you’ve stepped into.

For a little context because I’m sure people have their assumptions and opinions. We were to provide a definition (and a modern example) for the following terms:
1. Hegemony 2. Style/Poaching 3. Hyperreal

I made a distinction between style and poaching and used Cozy Streamers as an example of style

My classmate used Drag Queens as an example of hyperreal. I noted in a reply that I can see the logic as to why Drag Queens (and Kings) could be classified as hyperreal, I added that “style” is probably more appropriate - as drag is an art not really meant to mimic or replace reality.

Drag Queens and “Cozy Streamers” are two topics I never would have guessed I would talk about in a discussion board assignment for a class but here we are I guess 🤣

I brought up Cozy Streamers in my post. A classmate brought up Drag Queens in their post

The class? Theology and Popular Culture

Digital togetherness doesn’t need to compete with physical togetherness. It stands on its own as an authentic form of presence. Sleep Boxes show me that community adapts.

I’m still out here wondering who thought it was ok to interview a child after he survived a school shooting…
We cannot keep living like this.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of this. I’m tired of the violence. I’m tired of the “thoughts and prayers” response.

Holy mischief doesn’t always have to be loud or righteous. Sometimes it just looks like joy in a world that tries to shame it out of you.

TyRo ❤️‍🔥 @tyrotime.bsky.social · Aug 13

From the dust of the earth,
crafted with great love and care,
the Divine made you to reflect Divine goodness.

The blueprint of your identity
is that of sacred worth.

So live knowing you are God’s beloved—and let that belovedness spill over,
sharing it with the world around you.
