You know, I think it's nice that the story of the Samaritan woman is in the Bible. Like, in those times, women were not often given very many freedoms, and not often mentioned in texts, so I enjoy it very much.
And also, I think it's very nice because Jesus is just hanging out at a well, vibing, as one does, and He offers this lady---whose people hate his people---the love of Christ. Like He is SUPPOSED to not like this lady because of her culture and her people; Jewish people in that time would literally WALK AROUND Samaria just so they didn't have to talk to the people there (That's also what the Disciples wanted to do)!
So Jesus coming to this woman out of the blue, forgiving her of any sins she had committed, and generally being kind to her in a time of sexism cultural dislike is AMAZING! Not only is He defying societal norms by going through Samaria and seeing the people there, He's also speaking with this woman because he wanted to! Because He cared!
Jesus doesn't care what your past is, where you come from, or if you've done wrong in your life. He loves YOU, regardless of what you've done in the past.
And I just
I like that.

Hey don't cry. Cut up 4 tomatoes and mix with fresh basil, 4 cloves of garlic, salt&pepper to taste, and a half cup of olive oil in a pan. Nestle 2 blocks of feta in the middle and drizzle olive oil and basil over it. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or cheese is toasted at edges. Season chicken fillets with garlic salt, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper and pan fry. Boil pasta of your choice. Smush tomatoes and feta for your sauce. Dont worry, its yummier than tears.

The final project for my Spanish class was to make a piñata, and, seeing as the brain rot has fully consumed me, I made my piñata to be the flag of Gondor on the back and the Trees of Valinor, Laurelin and Telperion, on the front.
I am very happy with the results!
