There is just one small problem: Farmers don’t gain experience from killing monsters. Now stuck on a new Earth, in a new universe, with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to figure out how to level his farmer class to 100 and gain a second class which doesn’t make him want to beat his head against the wall. That standard procedure doesn’t apply to Arnold. It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you. He’s certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. What do you have when you blend a pinch of LitRPG, a touch of farming simulator, a sprinkle of epic fantasy, a whole cup of Isekai, and a dash of Home Alone ? You have Arnold’s life.Īccidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. Protecting your marriage for the long haul The importance of finding genuine community What intentional motherhood looks like through the lens of our identity in God The heart and message behind her book Mom Up In today’s episode, Kara-Kae and I chat about: Grab your earbuds and join in on our conversation on what it looks like to thrive with grace as we lean into the Lord’s desires for us in this season of motherhood! If you’re at all familiar with her work through Thrive Moms, then I know you are just going to LOVE her new book, Mom Up: Thriving with Grace in the Chaos of Motherhood, which I had the pleasure of chatting to her about for today’s episode. The Lord’s desire for us is not just to survive motherhood, but rather to THRIVE in motherhood and to experience the abundant life he has for us! This is a message that Kara-Kae James is so passionate about and has created an entire ministry on. We can't make ourselves want what's good for us or what's good for other people. Only what is that thing? Why am I made the way I am? Why do I care about all the wrong things, and nothing at all for the right ones? Or, to tip it another way: how can I see so clearly that everything I love or care about is illusion, and yet-for me, anyway-all that's worth living for lies in that charm?Ī great sorrow, and one that I am only beginning to understand: we don't get to choose our own hearts. And I keep thinking too of the more conventional wisdom: namely, that the pursuit of pure beauty is a trap, a fast track to bitterness and sorrow, that beauty has to be wedded to something more meaningful. “I look at the blanked-out faces of the other passengers-hoisting their briefcases, their backpacks, shuffling to disembark-and I think of what Hobie said: beauty alters the grain of reality.

Karen McManus wrote her debut novel with the 1980s classic movie The Breakfast Club in mind, except with a criminal twist. Murugan stated in an interview with The Hindu that there was no documentary evidence relating to the custom and that details about it were passed on orally. The existence of such a practice has been a subject of dispute. In the course of his research, he came across a societal practice that existed in the past to deal with childlessness, which he decided to include in the book. In 2005, Murugan was awarded a grant by the India Foundation for the Arts to do the background research for the novel. The original name of the novel comes from the word Madhorubaagan, the Tamil name for the androgynous form of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology. The novel is set in the Tiruchengode town in Tamil Nadu, from which Murugan hails, and its main characters in the book belong to the Kongu Vellalar Gounder caste, which he himself belongs to. The idea for writing the novel came to Murugan on witnessing couples around him suffer due to the inability to have a child. Set during the colonial era in the Southern state of Tamil Nadu in India, it deals with the social stigma that a married couple faces due to their childlessness, and the lengths they go to conceive. Initially published by Kalachuvadu Publications in 2010, it was later translated into English by Aniruddhan Vasudevan and published in 2013 in India by Penguin Books, and in 2018 in the US by Grove Atlantic. One Part Woman ( Tamil: pronounced ) is a Tamil novel written by Indian author Perumal Murugan. In his story, the author weaves together political and military eventswith social, economic, and cultural history. These innovationsprompted the emergence of mass political parties and stimulated America's economic development from an overwhelmingly rural country to a diversified economy in which commerce and industry took their place alongside agriculture. Railroads, canals, newspapers, and the telegraph dramatically lowered travel times and spurred the spread of information. In this Pulitzer prize-winning, critically acclaimed addition to the series, historian Daniel Walker Howe illuminates the period from the battle of New Orleans to the end of theMexican-American War, an era when the United States expanded to the Pacific and won control over the richest part of the North American continent.Howe's panoramic narrative portrays revolutionary improvements in transportation and communications that accelerated the extension of the American empire. The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, it's easier than ever to create images and video of things that don't exist, or events that never happened. Musk, "like many public figures, is the subject of many 'deepfake' videos and audio recordings that purport to show him saying and doing things he never actually said or did," they wrote in a court filing, going on to describe several fake videos of the billionaire. The family's lawyers cited that 2016 claim, along with others Musk has made about Tesla's self-driving software. But it recently came back into the spotlight as part of a lawsuit brought by the family of a man who died when his Tesla crashed while using the self-driving feature. Video of the session has been up on YouTube for nearly seven years. Then we had five or six leaves on each of the three tiny chestnut trees - growing in slow motion (human time perception). The following year, we saw a few single sticks with a leaf each coming out of the soil. My daughter and I collected chestnuts one autumn and put some of them into a corner of our garden. My fence is made of wood, and my garden holds an oak tree, an acorn, three apple trees, plum trees, three cherry trees (plus a baby cherry trying to make it), AND my garden holds a three-year-old chestnut experiment. I wonder at the kind of trees that frame my paintings. Wondering how old the oak trees were that turned into the logs that made it into my wooden house, to turn into beloved bookshelves. Wondering which ones became the cherry tree desk my grandfather made for me. Wondering which trees grew to become the books on my shelves. I sit in silence, holding the paperback copy of The Overstory in my hands, thinking of trees. To hope, which finds roots in the most infertile of soils! Cheers, my friends on our shared planet!
