I had a conversation with a “Christian” and it went rather horribly. They called immigrants “shits” and terrorists. All immigrants. They claimed immigrants were the reason for Christian persecution, and that God wants us to lift the sword and kill those who persecute us. They proudly boasted of how much they loved God while in the same breath wanting to kill in His name. The lack of love and compassion was unnerving to say the least.
Friends, please remember that those who live by the sword shall die by it. Not once when the apostles faced persecution did they slaughter their persecutors. Rather, they went to their deaths proudly bearing the name of Christ- and this caused MANY more to be saved in His holy name. When the world sees you act in violence, they only see worldlings ready to kill in the name of Jesus. But when they see us love our enemies, pray for our persecutors, and stand unafraid of who can take this life from us- that is what makes people of the world come to Christ.
If your answer to persecution is to return violence for violence, you are standing against Christ, not with Him. Those who seek to save their lives here will lose them. But those who lose their lives for the sake of the gospel shall gain them.

Not even 10 days in and I missed a day already 🫣 By the time I remembered, it was 12 am and I was too sleepy to care 😆
Thankfully this is a fun and easy challenge, so I'm already caught back up. Decided to draw a pot head and I think she's real cute! You may see some more like her!

Technically this is update #2, but the first post was very bare-bones.
So, to get you up-to-date:
I decided to make a granny square maxi skirt. I started with the light blue yarn as that was what I had. I bought the multi-coloured blue yarn next and planned to make a 2 coloured skirt.
I needed to do some math to see how many squares I needed to make. Here it is:
Granny squares- 4 inches Hip measurement- 36 inches Length of skirt- 32 inches
Divide the measurements by the length of granny squares: 36 ÷ 4 = 9 and 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Multiply the results: 8 X 9 = 72
So I have 72 granny squares to crochet. To get how many I need to crochet in each colour, I divide 72 by 2 which is 36.
This changed when my sister said I should add a next colour.
I stuck with my blue theme of course. This addition meant that the math had to change. So now I divided 72 by 3 and got 24 which seems much more manageable to me even though I still have to crochet 72 granny squares.
I'm pretty close to my goal! I believe I have 15 or 16 of each at the time of writing this post.
My hands get REALLY sore after a short while crocheting, so I only crochet 3 a day. It's slow going but I'd rather practice patience than bust up my hands.
I also recently got these cute stitch markers! I'm not working on any projects that need stitch markers at the moment, but they worked really well at holding my squares together so I could see how the skirt looked so far!

'Eliza Pepperton and Purple Grove Case Files'
That sounds like a really cool book! Unfortunately, it doesn't exist, but this drawing of Ms. Eliza Pepperton does!

Daily Doodles- Day 9- 24/04/24
I had something else planned for today, but I'm tired, I have work tomorrow and I don't have the time to finish it.
Have this cool looking girl instead! I've always liked the design of characters whose eyes are 'attached' to their heads.

Confident Princess!
Done the same day as my pot head doodle!
I like this sort of cartoony style. I used to draw like this at 15 and I've been playing around with it again in my late 20s
Fun fact: this style was inspired by the Danny Phantom art style 👻
