twenty-fouroceans:

so I never thought I would do this, but lately I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo (!), maybe for my nineteenth birthday since it’s coming up in a couple months which should give me some time to think about it. anyway, I was thinking of a very very small/simple heart, moon, or bird(s) on my finger, wrist, or ankle. what do you guys think?? / has anyone gone through this process before?

I love the bird tattoos and have been planning on getting them soon. It took me a long time to decide on my first tattoo a couple years ago, but I picked something that I think I’ll love forever. You just have to be sure it won’t be something you may regret later. Good luck :)

Stargazing At The Elqui Domos Hotel In Chile | Designed by RDM Arquitectura | Photos by James Florio

In the heart of the mythical Elqui Valley in Pisco, surrounded by the Andes Mountains, 500km north of Santiago in central Chile, lies a magical place that allows for star-spangled dreams beneath the clear pure sky. Combining stargazing and specialized astronomic tours with night-time horseback riding, meditation and even tarot readings, Elqui Domos is a hotel quite like no other.

It was completed in 2005 to fulfil its owners’ desire to observe and enjoy the grandeur of the one of the world’s most star-filled skies. It is one of only seven astronomic hotels around the world and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere, offering breathtaking views of the magic skies draped over the Elqui Valley (the valley is renowned for its sharp, clear skies, as it happens to sit under one of the clearest atmospheres in the world). The lack of rain and pleasant weather all year round set the perfect conditions for astronomic tourism, where guests can gather to enjoy a unique chance to liaise with the stars.

KOKH FOX 25 :: Top Stories - Town Known for its Strip Clubs Wants Coffee Shop to Leave

TUMBLR! I need you!

Joe’s Addiction is a small coffee shop in Valley Brook, Oklahoma. It is a wonderful place dedicated to help and change the lives of people in town. It reaches out to a range of different people, including homeless people, drug addicts, alcoholics, sexually abused, sex offenders, criminals, and just plain broken people. So many lives have been changed and turned around by the people who run this coffee shop, simply because of how they love these people unconditionally and show them that Jesus loves them. In addition, the run a “free store” where people are free to go in and take anything they need. 

The mayor and a few city council members, however, have worked to stir up fear in the town, claiming that Joe’s Addiction attracts undesirable people and that it is a nuisance to the town. They are threatening to take away their business license for this reason. But actually, Valley Brook itself is known for its sex industry, and is home to many strip clubs (some are borderline sex slave houses), one of which, ironically, sits right next door to Joe’s. But the mayor and city council members have ignored the problem of the strip club right next to it (which is where these “undesirables” come from) and has targeted Joe’s Addiction, which has actually worked to help and love the people who come in, working to change the lives of both the offender and the offended. 

Joe’s Addiction is not the problem here. And in fact, they legally cannot refuse to serve the people who come in. The problems of the sex industry, people committing crime, and homelessness are not the coffee shop’s problem, they are city problems. This coffee shop should not be blamed, when all it is doing is trying to fix those very problems.

I know the owner of this coffee shop. She is an amazing, loving, gentle person who just wants to love the people who need it most.

If you can pray for this coffee shop, that would be awesome. And if you can reblog this to get the word out, that would be great too. 

Stop this injustice!!

The Mind of a Heretical Princess: The heart is...deceitful?

hereticalprincess:

When I was younger, I used to take the all-too familiar phrase “follow your dreams” and finish it with “if you want your life to come to destruction.”

*ahem* Not one of my proudest moments.

The base of that belief was Jeremiah 17:9: “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who…

Super insightful and accurate.
