Let It Be Known That I, A Pastoral Ministry Student, Have A Grudge Against Gideon From The Book Of Judges.

Let it be known that I, a pastoral ministry student, have a grudge against Gideon from the book of Judges. I will not elaborate

the man told his son to execute enemy generals when he was a teenager and then said son got murdered by his evil brother. who makes a child murder people what the heck Gideon, you gotta be kideon me I'm aware that Judges is a master class is flawed humans and how they mess up as they get further and further from God but holy heck you just told a child to kill people and then raised your other children so badly that one of them decided to make himself a king and then killed literally all of his brothers except for like. one I mean I just

TL;DR, Judges is one of the hardest books of the Bible for Christians to deal with, to the point that we almost never talk about it.

It's about the brokenness. It's not necessarily about "heroes," it's about how the people spiral away from God further and further until they're unrecognizable and twisted. They move away from the age of prophets advising the people to this mess. It's the bad part, but it points the way to a king in Israel to bring stability, which leads to David and his line, which leads to Jesus. It's the down swing, the painful reminder of how evil humanity can become. It's a snapshot of our sin. It's becoming a monster not just to God but to people. I'm screaming

No Safety. No Food. No Aid. No Water. No Healthcare. No Education. Is This What It Means To Live? Is

No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?

If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged. But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.

These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.

My family needs urgent help.

Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make.

We are not asking for luxury. We are begging for life.

Please, if you’re reading this: help. Reblog this post. Talk about us. Donate if you can. Even a small act can mean everything right now.

I didn't need my heart anyway

Robin!Jason, who constantly references different books at random times by quoting them and joking about characters, except Bruce doesn't have much time to read everything that Jason goes through. Of course, he understands some nods towards classics, but Jason is an avid reader, so it is hard to keep up with him sometimes. Jason tries to drag him to watch some movie adaptations, but he falls asleep in the very beginning of it.

And then Jason dies.

Bruce goes through all his library obsessively to the point he remembers the page of every little bookmark Jason left, and he knows his little notes on the margins by the heart. He watches movie adaptations, too, even though Jason only ever watched it to hate on them. He finds new books, books he thinks Jason would like if he was alive, and reads them, imagining what kind of analysis would Jason finalise by the end of it; his opinion not always matches with Jason's, but that doesn't matter. Bruce just likes to imagine.

Years pass, and Jason returns to Gotham. Not as a boy Bruce missed so much. Or, at least, he thinks so.

But then Jason does some bitter, irritated reference, comparing them to characters of one of the books he had on his shelf, and Bruce catches himself thinking... well, they still think similarly, but the conclusion they drew had always differed from each other. It is a different situation, of course, but... but maybe he could try to make this work.

Because, if anything, Bruce is tired of imagining. Especially, not when he finally has a chance to get everything back.

On the next day after their fight, someone sends Jason a copy of a new book from his favourite author - the one that he still hadn't read - his old set of colourful bookmarks, and a little note.

Let me know what you think.

Bruce gets the book back in a week, full of frantic notes, a bunch of bookmarks, and a short note explaining what each colour means (a mystery he didn't resolve years ago, after he passed away).

And, oh, God. He completely forgot how fast Jason read sometimes.
