I'm not a parent.  This means that I've missed out on all of those parental brag moments.  My sister doesn't have kids either so the Aunt moments aren't there either.  I have a pair of almost nieces.  And I have a select group of kids that I consider spiritual children from my days as  a small group leader (the entity formerly known as Sunday School Teacher).  

One of those kids is pursuing her dreams.  And finding them at times.  I find myself making comparisons between her and Raquel - my pet fundie.  But there isn't a comparison.  None at all.  Okay, probably because I got to know one, but the maturity Isabelle shows is leaps and bound beyond Raquel (who is older by the way).  

So, for your viewing pleasure - a short starring Isabelle Fisher.  (I might be beaming right now even though I have nothing to do with her acting skills).

She starts college in the fall (graduated from high school last year).  My boss has a son that acts and wants to pursue musical theater.  I've watched over the last couple of years as he has worked to get into colleges that teach that sort of thing and am aware of how hard it is.  I told the boss what college she got into - he's impressed.  

She's also doing modeling work. 

The kid is going places.

This made me smile - every kid needs someone to be actively proud of them and all the better when it isn't a parent who they feel "has to" think they're awesome.  

You beaming about her is a huge gift - she's a lucky kid.  (and talented!)

      But where do they wash their hands after taking money and before handing over open, unwrapped food? How does the department of health track down who donated the Salmonella pie, if they aren't required to keep a list of who donated what product? How do the volunteers keep the open and unwrapped food from being contaminated by nonfood materials if it's just sitting on a table in a gym or in a parking lot. 

      Any I have been to in Germany and New Zealand had one person handling the cash and other people serving. Plus power and hand washing facilities. Usually with a few tables and chairs right next to the sale area to sit and eat immediately. 
      Plus all the ones in Germany I saw had display cabinets for the products like in cafes. I think the ones in NZ usually had insect shields and/or see through lids and weren’t right at the front edge of the table.

      They have a “champagne lifestyle” on OTHER peoples “beer budget” 


      “Champagne wants” is probably a better word than lifestyle, though the fact that they demand it and insist on being entitled to it makes it more than a want in my eyes. 🤷‍♀️

      Thankfully they've decided not to sell baked goods. Apparently because someone told them how they needed a cottage food license and also because they don't know if they would be able to make all the pies.

      It couldn't possibly be because people have figured out that they are do nothing, perpetually whining grifters.  Oh no, not them.

      John MacArthur is being John MacArthur. The most concerning part of this is that there's a huge nouthetic counseling school run at Masters University.

      The guy sitting next to him staring grimly is Costi Hinn who folded like a wet paper towel when he questioned Doug Wilson about all his sex abuse scandals. One wonders if he might still have a little PTSD from Doug doxxing him.

      JMac has long been skeptical of mental illness and mental health treatment, but this seems more extreme (disinhibited?) even by his own very low standards. 

      There is a theory out there that the meteoric rise of tradwives on social media tracks with the overturning of Roe V Wade. The idea being that once abortion rights were overturned, pro-life people became increasingly emboldened.

      I wonder what is motivating him here. The student protests? The coming election? Distraction from another brewing scandal within his church?

      JMac is one of the top 5 fundies that personally piss me off, but I will concede the man is very smart. He knows the blowback is coming.
