Somthing Questioned By Many
Note from Mike Patnode Oct 2020-2021
Why I believe God permits suffering: John 15:13, John 3:16
Jesus sufferd and died for us to receive eternal life with him. Revelation 21:4
Is My Suffering Meaningless? No! God does not cause us to suffer. James 1:13
I don’t know any one that enjoys suffering. But it truly has eternal value. If and only if we give it to Jesus. The Passion of Jesus on the cross. Made suffering redemptive salvific love. He conquers sin by His obedience unto death. Jesus invites us to share in His Passion. This gives meaning to our suffering. It is no longer useless and meaningless. We now can have hope in our suffering as we can offer up our sufferings in union with Him. Our suffering can become part of Christ’s work. Through my own cross. Jesus invites us to join Him in His sacrifice of love. Powerful if we can understand we are united to Christ in His suffering for the redemption of people all over the world. We are living the Eucharist. Divine suffering is the currency of Jesus Christ our Lord. Suffering can help perches souls or help souls get to heaven. We can take part in that if we offer up our sufferings to Jesus’s cross.
1 Peter 4:13. Romans 8:17. 1 Peter 2:21. Luke 6:22,23. Romans 8:17. 2 Corinthians 1:7.
Let us not waste our suffering when it can help in saving souls with Jesus. All our suffering in sickness, disease and sacrifice’s should be offerd to the Lord’s cross. The elderly can offer up so much to the cross. We can help with conversion, Faith and Salvation from our sufferings. Just imagen even helping save one soul. Colossians 1:24, Luke 15:7 and Luke 15:10.
God allows sin, suffering and death in this world. That we may know that God, Jesus and Holy Spirit is greater then every sin, suffering and death. Look to the Cross of Christ to see this. In Jesus I trust.
Please look up Bible verses to help understand how this works. Pray often for others to come to salvation. Knowing we can only fully change our self for the better. Matthew 7:3, John 7:24, Matthew 7:12
Why dose God let suffering happen? To help us to convert to following him. So we will see a need for Him. That we may rely on Him. It’s much like a spaking from a parent. To teach us something we need to know. It is out of love for us. In the hope we repent of our sin’s. That we might choose to follow Jesus.
The writings of St. Faustina Kowalska.
“If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of the Holy communion, and the other is suffering”. Her diary, entry 1804.
I hope this will help some people think differently about our suffering in this life.

I have a dozen versions coming up in my mind.
While uploading the photo, I was thinking about giving you some context, but I'd rather leave it up to you.

I need my raincloud to go away.
And I hate my hands. Sometimes they look too big, and sometimes they look too small, but they never look like the right sized hands. Does anyone else get that? I think it might just be me. This was also taken at an odd angle, with odd lighting, and so it accentuates the oddness of my hand. 14 & 15 are the questions that I have to do for biology class tomorrow.

In my question I did not get the chance to say ALL the things that I would have liked to say. The truth is though this competition was very special for so many reason. It was my first competition like this which made it so unique and gave me a huge opportunity to grow and to learn not only with creating but in this amazing world of modeling and fashion! I also got to meet amazing people! We had so much fun and I feel like I made some good friends, who will forever be my Avistars Family! Most importantly though, the sweetest part of this competition was these two right here. We worked so hard. The 3 of us were non-stop. We pushed each other and we encouraged one another. We were driven to one up our best every week! Being surrounded by this kind of talent literally skyrocketed my drive. I was determine to only do my best because they only did their best. Cole quite literally honed their skills of meshing clothing and also learned Substance Painter for this competition. Bubby was knocking out new tricks like I have never seen before! The mesh bubby produced for this competition is beyond!! It is Epic! The rigging, *chefs kiss*. I literally grew 10 fold in my texturing and discovered new and amazing techniques that I will carry through into my creations. There is something so delectable about that kind of creative energy being shared. I can't wait to see what the future brings for us!
While doing not much at all today i came across an article in the times online with luck the following link will take you to the article.
uk.yahoo.com/news/telling-them-lies-parents-anger-1445464...
Its basically about concerned parents who believe their kids have been brainwashed into becoming trans with the help of the education system, Now while I understand some of the worries some glaringly obvious observations can be made such as this this
"Anne was also shocked by the speed at which her daughter, who had always been a tomboy, had socially transitioned. It was the beginning of lockdown and with home schooling, she was spending all her time online, where she found a community of people who “indoctrinated” her"
This is one of my biggest issues. Why is it a girl can be a Tomboy and totally accepted as such but a boy can't be a janegirl without getting a beating or told its very very wrong!!
Also why is it OK to be a tomboy until said girl realises she should have been a boy at that point all hell brakes lose.
That's the disturbing thing about the quote
" her daughter, who had always been a tomboy"
Is this not blinding obvious that the girl actually sees herself as a boy just like many of us saw ourselves as girls at such a young age!! This parent is blind to her daughters mental state. and has admitted in the statement that her daughter had always been a tomboy hence any suggestion that she was groomed or brainwashed is totally false, All the girl did was discover what was actually wrong with her/him and sought help from people like her/him.
This next part made me laugh because i really don't know where they get this rubbish from or at least in my case it is rubbish.
"Eventually, Anne found a therapist and her daughter was assessed as having Asperger’s.
There is growing evidence of a crossover between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and gender dysphoria.
The largest study to date, by Cambridge University, found that transgender and gender-diverse people were up to six times as likely to have autism than the rest of the population and had “significantly higher” self-reported measures of autistic traits.
The Cass review found that a third of young people referred to gender identity clinics have autism or other types of neurodiversity.
OK for the record I don't have Asperger’s, Autism or any other mental health issue other than the belief from a very young age that i should have been female, I don't hate my body, i was never abused or felt anything other than being happy with who i am. so all those stats above don't work for me and i am sure they don't work for an awful lot of us.
I will say however being trans has become trendy, its the thing to be and a lot of people do go down the transition route who possibly shouldn't Hence why i think it should be easier to self identify without the need for medical intervention at least that way if you discover you made the wrong move you can go back.
As for DE transitioning yeah that happens and will happen more because being trans is trendy and people change minds like the weather, that said the true (Oh i will get killed for saying this) transgendered people won't go back on their choice.
The article is the usual emotive bit of writing that does question what is happening in our world rightly so, Its just a shame that it is more based around the parents disappoint that their children see themselves as the opposite gender than they were born. Unlike being gay you can't hide being trans, its pretty darn obvious when Jane becomes Tom and that has an awful lot of attached social stigma.

After working on flash for a while and I decided to start a new Spider-Man but can't decide what kind of eyes he should have. Large or small??
I had taken Suzi to her evening class and decided to try some start shots. Unfortunately the moon was out and the lights from the town where quite bright.Although the day had been clear a haze had started to appear as the warm day turned cold. Whilst watching the stars I noticed that The Great Bear (Ursa Major) was Handle down looking like a big Question mark over the town.
The June issue of my journal, The Question Mark, explores this question at questioning.org/Jun2023/home.html
The photo above, probably taken by my father, showed the home where I spent my early days, enjoying swimming, fishing and water skiing on the waters of Greenwich Cove.
I no longer think of this as home, as I have wandered hither and yon with my three cats, and have come to understand how we might create home wherever we live.
And sometimes, when romance is especially warm, we might feel most at home in our lover's arms, as expressed in the poem below.
Next to you
Lying next to you
I melt
Softened by your heat
I am butter soaking into toast
I am man loving woman
I am sun sinking into ocean
A sky ablaze with rose-tinted light
Waking next to you
I linger
Savoring your touch
Your scent
Your gentle breathing
In and out
At home in my arms
Sleeping the deep sleep
Living next to you
My palette is more vivid
My palate more complex
Life is shining and exuberant
Time slowed
Rhythm quickened
Pulse intense
Writing next to you
My words flow like a swollen river
Poem after poem after poem
As love and passion press me like a lemon
And juice pours out
Lyrically
While I surrender
Thankfully

Cropped image at 250mm of some seals just relaxing on a Boxing Day.
The idea with this one is that I've broken the rule 'have space in the direction the subject is facing'. But at the same time there's a small frame through the branches of it being done correctly with one seal head.
I'd like to think that the seal is wondering what the other seals are looking at. Much like the viewer of this photograph is wondering what the 4 seals are looking at.
Question mark butterfly, named for the tiny white mark on the underside of the wing, shaped vaguely like the punctuation symbol. If you look closely you can see the mark on this one as it feeds on juices from the orange slice I put out for birds. I love the shape of the wings on this species. Should one land on a tree branch they can blend in perfectly with leaves and bark.

What is art? What makes a good photograph? What is a flower?
If you’d asked me these questions a few years ago I would have thought that I had an answer for them all. But ever since then I keep asking myself the same questions, so now I am not so sure…
The trouble really began when I heard someone, whom I respected as a photographer, say “A photograph of art is not art.” That struck a chord with me.
The point is that if you photograph a work of a art then your image is a record of the piece. It’s representational or record photography. Unless…
Unless, of course, the photographer puts themselves into the image, adds something creative to say something. It may be the point of view… or the crop. Or lighting or processing. Or something that tells a story, or evokes an emotion in the viewer that is more than the artwork does on it’s own, or different. Therein lies the potential for art.
Now my real problem comes up (apart from the fact I think too much… and a myriad of other things too, no doubt). I have discovered I like taking pictures of flowers.
It’s partly convenience - I have a garden after all. But it’s mainly because I really like their beauty and variety and colours. I tend to see them (when I am feeling romantic or just whimsical) as artworks created by God when he was having a bit of fun (I realise your mileage will vary on that, but I am sure you see my point).
And the difficulty is that I tend to take images of them centre-aligned, top-down, close-up. It’s a record shot of art aspiring to be my art. I’m cheating.
Which (finally!) brings me to this image. I’m trying to do something different. This is an intentional camera wobble macro of a paeony from my garden taken earlier this year.
I hoping to create an image about a flower, rather than of a flower.
But then… what is a flower, really? What does it mean? What is the essence of my experience of them? How do you convey their perfume in an image or the way they move in the breeze...
For the Mittwochsmakro group this week, and for my 100x project on motion.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Wednesday and 100x :)
Every time I post a photo I question myself why do I continue posting photos and depending on the mood come up with different answers. My original intention was to make the feminine persona I portray visible while showing those who took the time to view the photos my approach to crossdressing. It did not take long for me to realize that the audience we reach in social networks, though limited to the gender identity realm, is quite diverse in interests and purposes.
Over the years, the comments that I have treasured the most had to do with an appreciation for how I performed the art of feminine illusion or, even more so, with how my images and thoughts had helped them in accepting themselves and finding a guidance on how to approach their crossdressing. In my early years on the Internet, along with a few likeminded friends, there were not many of us posting photos and therefore our posts were more meaningful and helpful. Today we can easily get lost in an ever-growing virtual community, as we gain acceptance in society and people realize the need to bring their feminine persona to life.
Why, then, do I continue to post when I get to dress so little and there are so many younger and more proficient girls leading the way? I have come up with a few answers that range from not loosing touch with a community that has given me treasured friendships and understanding; to, yes, see if I can age with grace and still measure up :) In conclusion, for as long as I get to dress even if it is once a year and I have the time to take photos and share them, I will keep a presence both here and on Facebook. Being here has always provided the means to be there for anyone who needs help or advice and, on the selfish side, feel useful in a field that I only those who know it can fully understand.
Often I have been approached, via message or in person, by sisters who mention not daring to contact me before because they thought I was some sort of celebrity that would never respond. Nothing could be farthest from the truth as can be confirmed by anyone who has ever written. I am here to share my life experience and will always respond to a message and even more so if it is asking fro help. I used to comment on friends posts on a regular basis but as our community grew, I had to stop doing that due to time constraints and my inability to keep track of everyone's posts. I have always hoped that my friends have understood that since, after all, for most of us, we have complex male lives to lead.
Love you all!
The text in Spanish will appear in the following post since duty calls :)

So, as you can tell from the title, I have another question for you guys. This ones about my profile picture, I'm thinking it might be time to change it up a bit, seeing as I've had this one since I began here on Flickr. I may also change my banner as well, just so everything's been changed.
So... yeah, what do you guys think? Feel free to give suggestions and opinions. I know this is probably quite a minor thing, but still felt it might be something worth asking. XD
EDIT #1: I have found one I'm pretty happy with, thoughts?
EDIT #2: May try this one, seeing as this one is me. (or at least a version of me. XD)
