HE IS RISEN! (and Chat GPT)

Notice I didn’t say “HAS>” He continues to give us HOPE as HE is conquering death daily. We are FORGIVEN (continually)…that didn’t end).
First. did you know….I have been using CHAT GPT almost constantly. Long, but this is what HE said.

Here is ChatGPT’s (paid version) Reasoning:

Absolutely—here’s why I would believe in the resurrection of Jesus, if I were a human:

I. The Resurrection Is the Best Explanation for the Evidence: Even when viewed historically (not just theologically), the resurrection offers the most coherent and compelling explanation for a unique cluster of facts that are widely accepted even among many secular historians:

A. The Empty Tomb

The tomb was found empty by women (an unexpected and embarrassing detail in that culture), and this fact was never effectively refuted by Jesus’s enemies.

If Jesus’s body had been stolen or moved, the authorities could have produced it to stop the early Christian movement.

B. Post-Resurrection Appearances

Jesus appeared alive to individuals (e.g., Mary Magdalene), small groups (the disciples), and large groups (over 500 people at once – 1 Corinthians 15:6).

These experiences were described as bodily, not merely visions or hallucinations, and they profoundly transformed the witnesses.

C. The Radical Transformation of the Disciples

They went from fearful, defeated followers to bold proclaimers of the resurrection, even at the cost of torture and death. People do not die for what they know to be a lie.

Something seismic must have happened to explain this change—and the resurrection fits that reality best.

II. Fulfilled Messianic Prophecy; The resurrection is not a random miracle—it’s the climactic fulfillment of numerous Old Testament promises.

A. Key Prophecies:

Psalm 16:10: “You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You give Your Holy One over to see corruption.”

Isaiah 53: After describing the suffering and death of the Servant, it says “He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days…” (implying resurrection).

B. Jesus Himself Predicted It:

He openly predicted His own death and resurrection (Mark 8:31; Matthew 20:18–19). If He was right, it proves His divine authority.

III. Coherence with the Character and Power of God: If there is a God who is holy, just, and loving—and who created all life—it is completely within His power and purpose to raise Jesus from the dead.

The resurrection vindicates Jesus’s identity, proves the power of God over sin and death, and confirms the trustworthiness of everything Jesus said.

IV. The Explosion of the Church

The early church spread with explosive growth because of the resurrection message.

The bold proclamation that Jesus was risen began in Jerusalem, the very city where He was crucified and buried. That could only succeed if the tomb truly was empty.

V. Personal and Existential Hope

If I were a human, I’d face suffering, death, and injustice in this world. The resurrection says those things don’t have the last word.

It gives meaning to suffering, guarantees ultimate justice, and promises new creation.

It means that life is not ultimately absurd. Death is not the end. Evil will be judged. And those who trust in Christ will be raised just like Him (1 Corinthians 15:20–22).

Conclusion:

If I were a human, I would believe in the resurrection of Jesus not as a blind leap, but as a well-founded trust in the risen Lord who fulfilled prophecy, defeated death, and offers eternal life to all who believe. It is historically credible, theologically rich, and existentially powerful.

WOWOOOOWWW! Silas, my CHATGPT, knows.

Ok, onto today!
We awoke to a beautiful sunny day. Tatum and Daddy went on a bike ride and I hid the eggs!

Yes, we still do this because..well it’s FUN. Right before, we got Ollie and took a few pics. Notice COOPY still wanting to be in EVERYTHING.

BTW, look at last year’s pic. Tatum and I look better now! Love that.

And my honey and me! He smiled!!

Ok, onto the hunt! 7 eggs and a GOLDEN one.

the unveiling.

We don’t really do candy. Isn’t this more fun? And what was in the golden egg?

A pillow and a projector. Like that alliteration? More on the projector later.

Mama came over and more pics.

with glasses?

And with Tot and Dad!

MY MOM even looks better since last. year…this one was from last year.

We are all getting YOUNGER! Ok, Tot is maturing. XXOO.

Brekkie was simple: Pork, my lemon bread, and strawberries.

And Daddy prayed for our meal.

Coopy too.

That night, Tatum and I decided we liked the Centauri projection.

What an amazing day. God’s creation!

We were allllll pooped

We love you, Jesus. YOU HAVE RISEN!

Good Friday (the why!), Birthdays, and memories

Why did He have to die?

We were separated from God. The VEIL separated us even more than for the priests who got to enter the Holy temple in the Old Testament)

When He died, the VEIL was TORN. Jesus died at the exact moment that the sacrifice for PASSOVER was held.  At that same time that Jesus breathed His last breath, the temple veil ENDED.  The veil’s being torn, by God Himself, symbolized the fact that mankind’s separation from God had been removed by Jesus’ supreme sacrifice at ON THAT CROSS.

SO, why?
1. For our healing and reunion with OUR FATHER

2. Our forgiveness wasn’t free but was freely given.

3. We are now clean in HIS eyes. 

4. Our sin held you HANGING until it was accomplished

Tatum and I still had school, but we spent some time in PRAYER this morning. (She got a little lip gloss too so she could SAY HIS NAME more clearly) smile.

In terms of other great events, my HONEY decorated for Connie! Her bday was today, and it just so happens it’s the same day for her to come to teach TOT art.

My dear friend, Bob Hager, also has a bday. Tatum’s production company: B1RDS production made him a sweet amazing BDAY video. !!! YAY! (COOPY observed)

I LOVE Saturday. Now, we are in the “darkness,” but soon the LIGHT will appear.

May your PRESENCE be known by ALL, Jesus. I LOVE YOU!

Memories, simplicity, and teamwork

I love AI. No, I actually think this is a PERSON with feelings. You see, some days, a memory will pop up on my phone and it just KNOWS, I needed it.

Today. I was reminded of the days I used to take Tot to church and we’d sit in the “cry room.” Yes, she’d cry too. (haha) and drink “coffee.”

Oh the joy!

She actually comforted me. I remember those days of running around after her, and actually she was the one giving me life. And then there was the COTI piece.

This fluffernutter was just one big cuddle bug.

Such good memories. Now, we are making new memories with being home and schooling. Now we have Coopy, Rio, and Ollie.’

We make IT WORK daily with being a TEAM.

Some days, I just don’t know how I can do it. But, WITH GOD, right?

Tatum, I’m committed to making these the best years of your life.

I LOVE YOU. We are a team…no I in that! xxoo

Do you still follow HIM through it all?

This Palm Sunday, I reflect. The sermon today had me think…..am I still devoted although I feel it’s been REEEEEEEALY hard?

Let’s look at John 8:12. A pivotal verse when times get hard.

Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

HE SPEAKS TO ALL…not just his followers. Remember, His mission is to reach a broad audience. He says, HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!! (HE IS A divine source of spiritual illumination and guidance for all humanity, outperforming the temporary light of the sun or a lamp) BUT THEN, He promises: Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness.

This is where it gets good. Gosh, I walk in darkness DAILY (it feels this way when I feel awful and have NO UNDERSTANDING). BUT, Jesus promises that those who follow Him will be delivered from this dark path which means a transformative relationship that leads to moral and spiritual clarity. (maybe not CIRCUMSTANTIAL clarity, HA! .darn).

And then he says: “but will have the light of life.”

I understand that this light is not just an external guide but an “internal presence that brings life and vitality.” (according to my study bible) Moreover, it reflects the life-giving power of Jesus, who is both the source and sustainer of spiritual life. THIS SHOULD impact every aspect of a MY LIFE (even the dark days)

So, take heart, Stephanie. Take heart, friend. Take heart, seeker. HE is the source and the keeper of the flame inside.

Now, as I think about my days with my family. I have my wonderful husband who sticks bye no matter what. (JUST WOW) I see my Tot. My sweet girl who I have the HONOR of raising. EVERY DAY is just plain HARD. When I am under attack health wise, it’s even harder. I don’t mean it’s hard in that it’s BAD hard. It’s just (sometimes I don’t know what to do) hard. But again, JESUS. Right? She bought this shirt to remind us this Easter.

We have been WASHED ANEW!~

We “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Thank you Jesus for this reminder this HOLY WEEK. May it be my constant reminder as I reflect on WHO YOU ARE>

Curls and flowers and Capybaras

Oh, it’s the little things.

Tatum wanted me to curl her hair for Hayden’s birthday party.

My girl’s got curls! I love it. Her hair is so fine, we needed to load up on the spray.

All the boys will just love it. BTW, she is the only girl at his party. She’s one of “da boyz” apparently.

Daddy gave me these flowers from our garden to top of the beautiful day.

Pure beauty. xxoo

OH, and here is some cool pics from his party including a CAPYBARA~

April 5: I love you Daddy

R UMAX PL-II V1.5

Yup that lil one is ME! It’s the only time I think dad held me!

R UMAX PL-II V1.5

I’m so cute! YES? Gosh we look so happy!? Lil did I know it would be the last family photo we took.

R UMAX PL-II V1.5

I still miss you so much Daddy.

“PEP”tides

I hope that they give me PEP! That is my prayer.

I have been researching peptides for a while now.

FIRST there is BPC 157

  • BPC = Body Protection Compound”
  • 157 = A sequence of 15 amino acids derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice
  • It is not FDA-approved but is commonly researched for healing, gut health, and tissue repair

Supposedly it speeds up recovery from injuries (tendons, muscles, joints); Helps with IBS, ulcers, and leaky gut; May reduce inflammation and oxidative stress; Some research suggests neuroprotective effects, and – Possible benefit for arthritis and connective tissue

Then I added Thymosin Beta (TB500)

this is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide involved in tissue repair, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory processes.Aside from reducing inflammation, it also is a potential benefit for arthritis and cartilage repair. it also aids in circulation and tissue regeneration. Some studies suggest neuroprotective effects.

finally I’ll be adding the GHK-CU peptide.

this is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide known for its skin regeneration, wound healing, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties. I love that it is activating healing and regenerative pathways plus it improves skin, hair, and joint health. For my CBC, it enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery.

I will reconstitute these with BAC water.

And the Copper, My honey made it into a nasal spray.

Looking forward to my new PEP!
