Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts. Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit. Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts. Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them. A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Proverbs 26:20-28

Proverbs 6:16 - 6:19
16 These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto Him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

I have limited friends list space and someone is always looking to talk, if I remove you without notice it's nothing personal, it's probably because we have not talked in months and I have to juggle friends slots regularly. Feel free to send me a friend invite later.

I was invited to hundreds of groups that spammed me everytime I logged into Steam, I ignored them all. I'm committed to CGC and a small handful of specialized groups, the rest of my groups list is a mess of things either I've gone to for witnessing, or just friends invited me to in the past. I really don't care to be spammed by group invites, if you don't specifically talk to me about why I should be in a given Steam group, I will no longer join it by any means and it will automatically make the "Ignore all" list.

Week Long Deals

I was being the nasty proselytizing atheist and hating on Christians when
most of you were not even born, any edgelord thing you're planning to say,
be assured that I have said worse, probably said it before you, and likely
said such things for longer than you've been alive. I was raised in a secular
home and in the secular public school system, and was taught I was related
to brussel sprouts and staph bacteria, I was blinded to the oceans of faith
that was required to believe such a thing. The faith in man, man's
knowledge, the faith in science which, ironically, calls upon its ever
-changing nature as its primary strength. Science is fun and awesome but is
entirely materialistic, disregards the "meaning of life" type of stuff, and
science as a solitary worldview can lead to extreme nihilistic episodes and
existential crises. Now that we have that out of the way, if you still choose
to spam my profile with atheistic ironic edgelord stuff, you know if it is
summarily deleted it is not because I'm offended or threatened by your
childish behavior, it's because I find you incredibly boring and you remind
me of a very ignorant time in my own life. I still care about you as a human
soul, and will pray for you as I'm deleting your spam.

LYRICS - Isaiah's Lament (Audra Franz)

The cries will rise up, rise up from hearts in anguish.
As the curse on the earth draws nigh, the world will languish.
The guilt of God’s broken law the people will own.
Sin betrays the man, you must face your God alone.

Why do you lift up, lift up your haughty eyes?
You’re blinded to the trap that will shatter your pride.
What have you gained in this world that He’s not given you?
Hear my voice, God’s wrath has come upon you.

Chorus:
So take to the mountains, take to the caves,
Run the best you know how, in hopes your lives to save.
But who will you call on when escape cannot be found?
God’s heart is hardened; nothing can save you now.

The chance to give up, give up your godless ways
Was given to you to live in the light of His grace.
But mercy has ended and the terrors are just begun.
The earth is falling, never to rise up again.
