It is a struggle in Connecticut and New England, to understand an American responsibility to be guides in the world honoring and aspiring to representing God’s perfect justice as close as humanly possible, with the traces of “Old World” ancestry touching everything. Many of the oldest lines in The USA are tied to European royal families by shared ancestry (I even hesitated to make sure I communicated the part about God’s perfect justice with accurate reverence; I often struggle to slow down and remember reverence is more important than entertaining an audience with fanciful wordplay.)
What does it mean in relation to obedience to God and the power our ancestors had as overseers of God’s resources? Were they examples of frugality, of how far resources could be stretched to sustain the daily needs of a people, while preparing for the feasts God ordered and saving for when God would declare it time for a debt jubilee?
This was what it meant when God knew David should be King by how he managed his flock and how obediently he trusted and deferred to God’s wisdom In deflecting outsized attackers of his flock.
I have been pondering how to make this truth clear to my nephews, who I care for during the week and strive to not waste a moment of their childhood by failing to bring God into their lives by bringing them to Jesus.
I have been carefully explaining what it meant for David to win in a battle against Goliath: He only could have won by trusting God completely and it was essential that God show the most powerful army and people that God must do what God must do and he will humble the mighty to save souls.
God did it by the people around David witnessing what complete, unchallenging obedience to God results in: Perfect justice.
What she says: im fine
What she means: the average age of conception over the past 250k years is apparently 26.9. Let's round it down to 25. Think of your birth mother. Hold her hand. Imagine her holding hands with her mother. Within 4 people, you're back in time 100 years, and it's an intimate family dinner. Just after WWI. Add another 16 people, a small party of 20, and you're in the 1500s. Double it, twice, and you're at 80 people. Your family would fill a restaurant, and you're at the height of the Roman empire. At 100 people, Confucius is alive but Socrates has not yet been born. 100 people. That's a medium sized wedding. A small lecture theatre or concert. 200 people, probably the biggest party i could ever hope to host, takes you back 5000 years. The guests at your soirée of parents would be contemporaries of the Egyptian and Indus Valley civilisations, although you'd probably be too busy fixing drinks and nibbles to talk to all of them. Just imagine it. 200 of you. That's all it takes to get back 5,000 years. And we could go further. 1000 people, a decent sized concert, a large high school, and we're at the end of the last ice age. Your ancestors are comparing their pink floyd vinyl with music played on instruments carved from wood or bones of long vanished species. Wander through the crowd. See your own features and phrases and gestures refract out like a kaleidoscope. What would they make of you? What do you make of them? Why does it feel so unfair that even that first 100 years --that small family dinner of four--is out of your grasp? Maybe it's because questions of spatial distance have become negligible to us now. why, oh why, does time hold out against us so stubbornly
Cyclop´s genealogy could be it´s own field of study.
Of what I know (I´m not a professional, nor academic of any short, I´m just a man).
First I though of convergent evolution, but that wasn´t close, then I though in genetics.
Cyclops seem to see like a by product of divine procreation, like a recessive allele. Of what I´m saying is they are fewer than semi-divine mortals or normal deities, but are far more prominent in mayor divine-minor divine relations, most notably nymphs.
But the first where the ones borned of Gea or Gaia and Uranus, the ones that forged Zeus´s lighting, Poseidon trident (acknowledge by the picture, hahaha) and Hades´s helmet. These were the first of them.
Then the others are the ones we know, products of Olympian-divine procreation, like the ones of Poseidon and the bunch, who act the same.
They´re said to be male but because we don´t see female Cyclops or not mentioned, maybe they don´t reproduce sexually, like a hybrid unable to procreate like the asses, mules and the sorts, so their population is maintained by gods procreation. Also knowing males get cyclopsed (hahaha) it might be related with the X chromosome and being recessive XO, Xo, So there´s the possibility and XoXo being a lethal combination so we don´t get female cyclops. :D
So as the Hero´s age came to an end, there wasn´t a renovation of individuals, dwindling their population by normal death or killed, ending a one prosperous society fruit of divine descent outcast of the world their fathers ruled.
So as we can see it maybe is related to the X chromosome but because we don´t know we´re left with strings and posts but nothing more, Also god´s are not people they are stories so genetics is not usually applicable, but these being a case it lends quite well is surprising.
not even gonna draw this any better i don't even. the . the joke doesn't justify it
