My Grandfather passed away peacefully this evening. I will forever be grateful for such a loving Grandfather. He became a Father at 18 yrs old to my Dad. He had 7 kids total: 6 boys & 1 daughter Ages 66 - 43 yrs. 20+ Grandchildren - Ages 44 - 10yr (of which I am the 2nd Grandchild) and I don’t even know how many great grandchildren. 30+? & counting!!!! Ages 20 - infant (My Daughters being one of the first born greats) This man is & has always been my Dad’s Hero. I love him so much, not just for his humor, kindness, family-centered, hard-working. But mostly because of his faith & he is someone my own Father loved with such respect & devotion. Pray for my Grandmother, My Father & all the rest of our large family that are grieving his passing. Rest in eternal peace. In the Savior’s Holy Presence. I love you, Grandpa. Because of you, The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, The God of the New Testament is The God of Grandpa, my Father, Myself & My Children. Thank you for the legacy you have built through our family. 💕❤️‍🩹💔✝️👼🪽🙏💔❤️‍🩹💕

Oogie Boogie Baby Boo is ready for Halloween 🎃 👻

Such a good episode. Fr. Justin Havens offers real wisdom on marriage. The whole episode is 🔥🔥🔥, but I especially want to highlight the discussion starting around the 38-minute mark, where Buck and Fr. Havens address common misconceptions of Ephesians 5. I recently saw a spike in engagement after I reposted some mildly critical thoughts on the phrasing used by a well-known Texas Reformed pastor and political influencer toward his wife. I wasn’t rebuking the pastor directly, more or less highlighting his phrasing as off-putting and I briefly expressed gratitude for my own husband and how he embodies Ephesians 5 in our relationship. It gained traction when the gentleman commented within two minutes with a terse, one-liner rebuttal, defending his position on the grounds that “Christ commands his church.” (I found this genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.) One problem with some Reformed approaches to marriage is that men want all the headship of a fortress but offer love more like stone. Some interpret the wife’s role in Ephesians 5 as merely subservient, obedient, and “beta” to that headship. I appreciated how Fr. Havens articulated the Ephesians 5 vision of marriage. While it IS hierarchical, that leadership is earned through sacrificial love. As he put it: “I don’t know any woman, no matter how feminine she is, who wouldn’t do anything for a man whom she knew by experience would die for her.” Any demand for obedience that isn’t grounded in that kind of love isn’t leadership—it’s insecurity. Thank you again, @buckrebel for another great episode.

I had a day dream very similar to this when I was 17. I was walking in darkness. The only light was the light circled around me and lit my path as I walked. As I would get closer to each person, the light would illuminate the creature(s) tormenting that individual. I passed by a handful of people. Ones I knew, ones I didn’t and witness their demons. One person was so heavily bound & chained and lying on the cold ground that you couldn’t even see an inch of flesh. He didn’t have a personal demon either. demons would only kick him with empty disgust as they scuttled by. Like he was so bound & defeated it brought no interest or pleasure to torment him. I KNEW exactly who it was too. And my heart ached for him. After seeing another friend being tormented by 3 demons, I finally looked to see what my source of light was. It was Jesus Christ. I had asked why are you showing me this? His eyes filled with tears. I had strong sense that in His tears were the pain of sin & a cherished love. He died for the salvation of each soul there and possessed a deep love to free them. He didn’t verbally speak. But I heard “Go and sin no more.” Before snapping out of my day dream. It was a very strange vision that very well could have been an inside peek into a spiritual reality.

Just found this stranger lady hiding in my younger daughter’s room. 🐱 This child has snuck so many random animals into our home since she was 8 yrs old. Oh my sweet, sneaky, animal loving daughter 🤦‍♀️.

Sleeping in my childs messy room.

I rarely use the “For you” due to the annoyance of the algorithm. I have never used my platform for my beekeeping hobby. Make brief mention in one post that I am a beekeeper and now the “For you” is FLOODED with bee related content.

My 20 yr old daughter just popped into my house unexpectedly to use my 3 prong curler. we spent 2 hrs chatting while she did her hair, ate my food and bounced. With hair looking amazing. My heart is full 🤩🤩🤩
