Li Jing said, “First one must be benevolent and righteous, then afterward flexible and deceitful… The Art of War says: ‘Tempt them with advantages. Seize them with chaos.’”

From Questions and Replies between Emperor Taizong and General Li Jing.

I’ve been playing a ton of #FF7Rebirth and it is STELLAR. I loved Remake, and didn’t think it could get any better. Yet, here I am, mind blown by how epic, how moving and how funny this game is. Sephiroth is also super, super chilling.

So. Is this platform growing?

Dei Verbum para. 10 is really interesting to me. Gotta think on that one for a minute because there’s some fascinating implications regarding faith I hadn’t yet considered.

As I consider America, and the current admins role in fueling war (Ukraine, Israel, Iran is on the horizon) this poem comes to mind:

“Marching Amid Wormwood" by Cao Cao

East of the Passes righteous heroes gathered,
Raising troops to stand against the tyrants.

I guess Kathleen Kennedy, Jennifer Getzinger, Geeta Patel, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rachel Morrison, Maryann Brandon, Mary Jo Markey, and Marcia Lucas didn’t shape any Star Wars when they PRODUCED, EDITED and DIRECTED Star Wars installments, episodes, etc. LOL, okay, okay.

How do you like BlueSky compared to other social media apps? Engagement numbers are interesting…

Well, might as well help sow the seeds for Confessional #Lutheranism. This is where it’s at ;)

Well, it’s the first day of 2024. Goals include: being a better Christian, better in my vocation, completing the Yakuza series, and painting all of my Adepta Sororitas pieces.
