“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Man and citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity…Let it simply be asked where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice?”

It’s that season again, when we’re reminded to be thankful — and to express thankfulness. God has told us,

Even though we know it’s God’s will, for most of us, a reminder is a good thing, because in the midst of busyness and challenges of life, we often forget to be grateful for our many blessings.
I always think of a particular incident when I think of giving thanks. Many years ago, our friend Paul noticed that his young daughter Susannah had a ritual with her bedtime prayers. She always prayed, “God, bless Mommy, and Daddy, and …” She went down her list, asking God for her all her wants.
At prayer time one night, he said, “Susannah, you have a lot to be thankful for. I’d like you to start your…

On Thanksgiving here in America let us thank God for our lives and the greatest opportunity it provides which is to serve His plan and purpose while we devout our love to Him our Father in the Holy name of Jesus. Amen.
As we share our love with family during holiday festivities remember to pray for all those who are alone or in any difficult unfortunate circumstances, those multitudes that are suffering; that they are blessed to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who wants to lead them home!

Like anything in this life truth and facts must be ferreted out so carry on from here listening to the tune then read all of the text, there is a second version of the story behind the song, and then another song that nails down the significant all encapsulating meaning of “Lonely People!”
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” Lyrics Meaning
by SMF · Published February 18, 2020 · Updated February 19, 2020
“Eleanor Rigby” is a certified Beatles’ classic, indeed somewhat of a cultural phenomenon in and of itself. And as such, certain information should be established from the onset.
First is that for all intents and purpose it is safe to say that the titular character, Eleanor Rigby, was not a real person. This seems to be an idea that many fans of the song have a hard time accepting. But throughout the years, for the most part Paul McCartney, the primary writer of the tune, has contended that Miss Rigby is indeed a fictitious character. Yes, at one point he did acknowledge that his conjuring up this name may have been the subconscious result of being influenced by a particular tombstone in a graveyard he used to hang out in during his youth. But he has also contended that she is a totally-fictitious character, one whose people’s insistence to prove is real has to some degree confounded him.
Indeed at the end of the day, the factual consensus is that he got the first name of the character from an actress (Eleanor Bron) who was associated with the Beatles at the time. And the last name was derived from a liquor store (Rigby & Evens Ltd, Wine & Spirit Shippers) he was familiar with in the UK.
Father McKenzie is not real!
And the same also goes for the second character we are introduced to in this song, Father McKenzie. In fact he was originally named Father McCartney after Macca himself. But to Paul personally, this appellation invoked images of his father. And upon realizing that his dad is nothing like the character portrayed in the song, he decided to rename him.
“Eleanor Rigby” is partially based on Reality
But with those facts being established, this is not to imply that “Eleanor Rigby” does not have any basis in reality. Rather let’s say that the titular character is a composite of a number of different elderly ladies Paul McCartney used to hang out with when he was a child. Indeed he even used to run errands for them. So you can say that his sympathy for the type of person Eleanor is depicted as is real.
Narrative
Now as for the narrative itself, it centers primarily on the Beatles acknowledging “all the lonely people”. More specifically it depicts Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie as lonely souls themselves. And the first of the two we are introduced to is Eleanor. Interestingly enough her age is never specified. However, one peculiar characteristic she has is her tendency to ‘pick up the rice in a church where a wedding has been’. And despite this being somewhat of an unorthodox statement, it does effectively relay the fact that she is indeed lonely, perhaps even suffering from some sort of mental issues or poverty as a result.
Father McKenzie is also an interesting case. We see that he is in fact a priest of some sort or a head of a church. However, his congregation is nonexistent. Thus his loneliness is manifest by him being akin to a leader with no followers. Yet despite this, he stays committed to his profession.
Climax of the Story
So the way the story climaxes is with Eleanor Rigby eventually passing away. And sadly enough, “nobody came” to her funeral. But furthermore it is Father McKenzie who actually buries her. And so the story ends, with the Beatles apparently lamenting for “all the lonely people” throughout.
Now it’s debatable that they are trying to relay certain messages, lessons if you will, via this tale. For instance, it has been speculated by some fans that the case is presented as ideally Eleanor and Father McKenzie would have met when she was still alive, became friends and thus served as the remedy to each other’s loneliness. There is also a peculiar, ambiguous line at the end of the third verse, after Rigby is buried, which reads “no one is saved”.
Now at the time this song was dropped, the Beatles, particularly John Lennon, was going through an anti-Christian phase, so to speak. So it is honestly quite-feasible that since the church is one of the settings of this song, as well as a priest being one of its central characters, that the band is actually taking a jab at the organized religion. And if so what they would basically be pointing to is the idea of Christianity failing some of its adherents in the most-fundamental way.
Conclusion
Verily, if a listener wants to look for additional meaning in this song by examining the rich history of the Beatles, combined with the symbolic nature of some of its lyrics, there is definitely enough there to lend to varying interpretations. But by and large, the narrative featured within “Eleanor Rigby” is straightforward and easy-to-follow. That is to say that most people who appreciate the tune lyrically do so because of the parts of the song that are simple to understand. And in that regard, it is fundamentally a sad song. It is a sorrowful song centered on an old lady who lives with no one to care for her and dies with no one to bury her.
In other words it’s the type of track to invoke sympathy for those who may actually be living under such circumstances, i.e. a humanitarian tune. And at the end of the day, “Eleanor Rigby” is one of the reasons why many people feel that the Beatles were musical geniuses. They were pop artists who were able to write and recite a hit song about such thought-provoking and heart-wrenching subject matter as care for the elderly and sympathy for the lonely.
Facts about “Eleanor Rigby”
The credited writers of this song are Paul McCartney and an entity known as Lennon-McCartney. The latter would be a combination of Paul McCartney and his Beatles’ bandmate, John Lennon (1940-1980). Furthermore it is noted for being the first song which Mr. McCartney had written which was not centered on the theme of love.
The musical score of this song was composed by another Beatle, George Harrison (1943-2001). None of the Beatles themselves actually played instruments on this track. And in that regard, “Eleanor Rigby” is said to be one-of-a-kind. In this case what they did do was employ session musicians consisting of two violists, two cellists and four violinists. And
due to the complexity of the instrumental, the Beatles never played this tune live.
The producer of “Eleanor Rigby” was the Beatles co-worker on most of their hits, Sir George Martin (1926-2016).
This track originally came out on 5 August 1966 as part of the Beatles’ album entitled “Revolver”.
“Eleanor Rigby” was quite-successful. It topped the UK Singles Chart and performed likewise in Canada and New Zealand. In fact it is noted for being the top-selling song in the UK for 1966.
Moreover it peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Apparently it was not promoted as heavily in the United States as it was in the UK due to the religious references in the song.
“Eleanor Rigby” also earned Paul McCartney in particular a Grammy Award. This was in 1966, and it was awarded in the category of “Best Contemporary (R&R) Solo Vocal Performance – Male or Female”.
Moreover as of 2011, Rolling Stone has ranked this track at number 138 on its list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.
Popular Covers of “Eleanor Rigby”
A number of prominent artists have covered “Eleanor Rigby”, especially during its heyday. Amongst them are:
Ray Charles (1968)
Aretha Franklin (1969)
John Denver (1970)
Tony Bennett (1971)
José Feliciano (1992)
Pearl Jam (2005)
Paul McCartney also did his own remix of this song and featured it on his 1984 solo album, “Give My Regards to Broad Street”.
The Eleanor Rigby Fascination
Despite Paul McCartney acknowledging, as aforementioned, that Eleanor Rigby is not a real person, fans of the tune have still been obsessed with tracking down a real person by this name who fits the character described in the song. Indeed sometimes their efforts are borderline comedic. For instance, the aforementioned headstone in Liverpool, England (i.e. the Beatles’ hometown) which cites an “Eleanor Rigby” has accordingly become somewhat of a tourist attraction. Said headstone is even depicted on the music video to the 1995 Beatles’ track “Free as a Bird”. Moreover a document from 1911, which Paul McCartney at one time personally handled, which references a Eleanor Rigby (more specifically “E. Rigby”) was auctioned off for a whopping £115,000 pounds (approximately $250,000) in 2008.
Interesting to note is that there is also a real Eleanor Rigby statue located in the English city of Liverpool. It was erected in the aforementioned city in 1982. And interestingly, it is directly based on the character from the song.
Paul McCartney wrote most of this song. He got the name “Eleanor” from the actress Eleanor Bron, who appeared in the 1965 Beatles film Help!. “Rigby” came to him when he was in Bristol, England, and spotted a store: Rigby and Evens Ltd Wine and Spirit Shippers. He liked the name “Eleanor Rigby” because it sounded natural and matched the rhythm he wrote.
McCartney explained at the time that his songs came mostly from his imagination. Regarding this song, he said, “It just came. When I started doing the melody I developed the lyric. It all came from the first line. I wonder if there are girls called Eleanor Rigby?”
McCartney wasn’t sure what the song was going to be about until he came up with the line “picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been.” That’s when he came up with the story of an old, lonely woman. The lyrics “wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door” are a reference to the cold-cream she wears in an effort to look younger.
The song tells the story of two lonely people. First, we meet a churchgoing woman named Eleanor Rigby, who is seen cleaning up rice after a wedding. The second verse introduces the pastor, Father McKenzie, whose sermons “no one will hear.” This could indicate that nobody in coming to his church, or that his sermons aren’t getting through to the congregation on a spiritual level. In the third verse, Eleanor dies in the church and Father McKenzie buries her.
“Father Mackenzie” was originally “Father McCartney.” Paul decided he didn’t want to freak out his dad and picked a name out of the phone book instead.
After Eleanor Rigby is buried, we learn that “no one was saved,” indicating that her soul did not elevate to heaven as promised by the church. This could be seen as a swipe at Christianity and the concept of being saved by Jesus. The song was released in August 1966 just weeks after the furor over John Lennon’s remarks, “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now.”
For the most part, the song eluded controversy, possibly because the lilting string section made it easier to handle.
A string section scored by Beatles producer George Martin consisting of four violins, two violas and two cellos were used in recording. Paul may have been inspired by the classic composer Vivaldi.
The Beatles didn’t play any of the instruments on this track. All the music came from the string players, who were hired as session musicians.
Paul McCartney recounted this song’s origin story in a 2018 interview with GQ. He said: “When I was really little I lived on what was called a housing estate, which is like the projects – there were a lot of old ladies and I enjoyed sitting around with these older ladies because they had these great stories, in this case about World War II. One in particular I used to visit and I’d go shopping for her – you know, she couldn’t get out. So I had that figure in my mind of a sort of lonely old lady.
Over the years, I’ve met a couple of others, and maybe their loneliness made me empathize with them. But I thought it was a great character, so I started this song about the lonely old lady who picks up the rice in the church, who never really gets the dreams in her life. Then I added in the priest, the vicar, Father McKenzie. And so, there was just the two characters. It was like writing a short story, and it was basically on these old ladies that I had known as a kid.”
In Observer Music Monthly, November 2008, McCartney said: “These lonely old ladies were something I knew about growing up, and that was what ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was about – the fact that she died and nobody really noticed. I knew this went on.”
There is a gravestone for an Eleanor Rigby in St. Peter’s Churchyard in Woolton, England. Woolton is a suburb of Liverpool and Lennon first met McCartney at a fete at St. Peter’s Church. The gravestone bearing the name Eleanor Rigby shows that she died in October 1939, aged 44.
However Eleanor was not like the lonely people in McCartney’s song, as she was married. Another of the gravestones there has the word “McKenzie” written on it. McCartney has denied that that is the source of the names, though he has agreed that they may have registered subconsciously.
This was originally written as “Miss Daisy Hawkins.” According to Rolling Stone magazine, when McCartney first played the song for his neighbor Donovan Leitch, the words were “Ola Na Tungee, blowing his mind in the dark with a pipe full of clay.”
The lyrics were brainstormed among The Beatles. In later years, Lennon and McCartney gave different accounts of who contributed more of the words to the song.
During recording, microphones were placed very close to the instruments to create an unusual, vaguely distorted sound.
Ray Charles reached #35 US and #36 UK with his version in 1968; Aretha Franklin took it to #17 US in 1969. A year later, an instrumental by the group El Chicano went to #115. The song reached the chart again in 2008 when David Cook of American Idol fame took it to #92.
Because of the string section, this was difficult to play live, which The Beatles never did. On his 2002 Back In The US tour, Paul McCartney played this without the strings. Keyboards were used to compensate.
This song was not written in a normal chord, it is in the dorian mode – the scale you get when you play one octave up from the second note of a major scale. This is usually found in old songs such as “Scarborough Fair.”
Vanilla Fudge covered this in a slowed-down, emotional style, something they did with many songs, including hits by ‘N Sync and The Backstreet Boys. Their version of “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” was a #6 US hit in 1968. Fudge drummer Carmine Appice told Songfacts: “Most of the songs we did, we tried to take out of the realm they were in and try to put them where they were supposed to be in our eyes. ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was always a great song by The Beatles. It was done with the orchestra, but the way we did it, we put it into an eerie graveyard setting and made it spooky, the way the lyrics read. Songs like ‘Ticket To Ride,’ that’s a hurtin’ song, so we slowed it down so it wouldn’t be so happy. We would look at lyrics and the lyrics would dictate if it was feasible to do something with it or not.”
In 1966, this song took home the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Performance, Male. It was awarded to Paul McCartney.
In August 1966, the long-defunct British music magazine Disc And Music Echo asked Kinks frontman Ray Davies to review the then newly released Revolver album. This is how he reacted to this song: “I bought a Haydn LP the other day and this sounds just like it. It’s all sort of quartet stuff and it sounds like they’re out to please music teachers in primary schools. I can imagine John saying: ‘I’m going to write this for my old schoolmistress’. Still it’s very commercial.”
The chorus of this song was sampled as part of Sinead O’Connor’s 1994 song “Famine,” which is based on the story of the potato famine in Ireland.
In 2008 a document came to light that showed that McCartney may have had an alternative source for the Eleanor Rigby name. In the early 1990s a lady named Annie Mawson had a job teaching music to children with learning difficulties. Annie managed to teach a severely autistic boy to play “Yellow Submarine” on the piano, which won him a Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. She wrote to the former Beatle telling him what joy he’d brought. Months later, Annie received a brown envelope bearing a “Paul McCartney World Tour” stamp. Inside was enclosed a page from an accounts log kept by the Corporation of Liverpool, which records the wages paid in 1911 to a scullery maid working for the Liverpool City Hospital, who signed her name “E. Rigby.” There was no accompanying letter of explanation. Annie said in an interview that when she saw the name Rigby, “I realized why I’d been sent it. I feel that when you’re holding it you’re holding a bit of history.”
When the slip went up for auction later that year, McCartney told the Associated Press: “Eleanor Rigby is a totally fictitious character that I made up. If someone wants to spend money buying a document to prove a fictitious character exists, that’s fine with me.”
This was released simultaneously on August 5, 1966 on both the album Revolver and as a double A-side with “Yellow Submarine.”
The thrash band Realm covered this song on their 1988 album Endless War. It is a speed metal version of the song that got them signed to Roadrunner Records.
McCartney told Q magazine June 2010 that after recording the song, he felt he could have done better. He recalled: “I remember not liking the vocal on Eleanor Rigby, thinking, I hadn’t nailed. I listen to it now and it’s… very good. It’s a bit annoying when you do Eleanor Rigby and you’re not happy with it.”
Former US President Bill Clinton has stated that this is his favorite Beatles song.
Richie Havens covered this on his 1966 debut album, Mixed Bag, and again on his 1987 Sings Beatles and Dylan album.
God gave so much by His expression of love when he created us and all of this the seen and the unseen; then even gave Himself as the Redeemer to bridge the chasm between imperfection and corruption unto Holiness and Eternal Perfection in God’s glory for those of faith through Jesus Christ the Savior and Good Shepherd! During the Holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas as well throughout the year we must do our best to remember these facts and truth that tells us so clearly how it is better to give than to receive!
God bless you.

“34You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions. 35In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” 36When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.” Acts 20:35
“John 3:16 is one of the most well-known verses of all time. It says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

“When you defend My Word, you will be deemed to be cruel, unkind and lacking in sympathy to those who do not believe in God”
Yes it has begun as many already are serving the beast system and false god the antichrist to come upon the world stage in the short term as we are in the End Time now! Many profess inclusivity of all creeds, social orders, gender identity sexual preferences, CRT, Political Correctness, universal income or other communist agendas and all of the LGBTQ militant mindsets which are all man-made constructs based on lies and hypocrisy having nothing to do with God Almighty and His Plan for Humanity the Truth of which has been revealed by what Jesus Christ imparted to us through His complete sacrifice of Himself as the Lamb of God who came to take away all of our sins in order to cleanse our immortal souls before God to make us worthy to be in the presence of God the Father and His Absolute perfection and holiness; making us worthy and capable of being redeemed to everlasting eternal life and happiness as children of God in heaven.
Take heed and open your eyes and minds to what is going on in this out of control evil infested world which is ruled by the unholy one Satan! Look at all of this deception, governments, media, entertainment industries all pushing clever or decadent lies and see how little time you have left taking all of this mayhem as your warning to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior who does love you beyond comprehension and wants nothing to go wrong in your personal salvation which is near at hand! So you only need to accept Him now into your heart giving all of your heart to Him alone in order to be saved from eternal damnation, where so many are going but don’t you be one of them; you can make it to heaven you only need to have faith in Jesus Christ and accept His gift of love to you but no wishy-washy half-truth or pretending that you accept His gift while you also try to satisfy the world living in the Ways of this Fallen World as your primary focus or false god; that is a dead-end no matter how much anyone dreams of it not being by some man-made falsehood! We and this world all must die forever separated from God and that is because Satan contaminated it with Death in the Garden of Eden!
There is no other answer believe me in this one thing, but most important please hurry and turn to Jesus Christ; I’m only a foot soldier and screaming out to anyone listening to not be fooled! Jesus Christ is going to save you from all harm and death just pray to Him to come into your heart now; He hears you and the Father in heaven will send you the Comforter the Holy Spirit to guide you with Jesus leading you with His right hand!
God Bless You!

My dearly beloved daughter, how I weep with sadness when I see the terrible division which looms within My Church on Earth.The bitterness of My Agony is eased though, by those who truly love Me and who already feel concern for the way in which My Body is being treated.
You must never feel the need to accept any deed, action or words which are against Me.If you feel uncomfortable with what you witness, within my Church, by those who swear that they are in union with Me, when they desecrate My Body,you must follow your heart.I Am with you every second of this great apostasy and for those who will…
“Peter moved into God’s call that believers live holy lives, to be a holy people as God is holy.”
This is what all people should be doing but exceedingly far too many are absolutely not; so thus look at the condition of this human race which is becoming far less human all of the time!
But herein you have provided the absolute cure for what ails the very sickly or the whole human race; each and every one of us! Remarkably this cure was given to us thousands of years ago, but yet we now live in a most horribly twisted world where practically everyone thinks they have their own cures and know better what they should do to achieve a good life here while not so concerned if at all about what comes after its over; living for today and the gut!
I now want to repeat what you wrote here and then over and over until it sinks in completely!
“Peter then gave practical ways to live out that call to holiness and being honorable.
1. Be built up into a spiritual house, and be the spiritual priesthood as well.
2. Abstain from worldly desires.
3. Honor everyone, and particularly honor earthly authorities, as well as willingly cooperate with them.
4. Love the brothers and sisters in Christ, from the heart.
5. Peter likened the lot of the enslaved with Jesus when he was crucified. They were to follow Christ’s example in accepting authority and enduring suffering, whether they deserved it or not
6. Now, Peter would address how to live honorably for those married to nonChristians.”
Again you have provided an excellent illustration of truth, Professor and Sister in Christ Jesus! Thank you!
God bless you.
Brother in Christ Jesus,
Lawrence
Peter’s letter has a flow to it that the chapter breaks somewhat obscure. From praise and thanksgiving over the glorious joy of their salvation, Peter moved into God’s call that believers live holy lives, to be a holy people as God is holy.
He was already writing to those who lived throughout what is called the Diaspora—those of Jewish descent whose ancestors had been taken captive and exiled to live outside of Israel.
Now, Israel was no more, and the area where God had given their forebears their ancient inheritance was now called Palestine and folded into the Roman Empire. True, place names persisted. There was Jerusalem on Mount Zion, surrounded by Judah, now called Judea. There was Samaria to the north, and Galilee past that. But the truth was, there was no Israel for the Diaspora to return to.
But Peter spiritualized their exiled state by pointing out the…
“Though George Harrison (1943-2001) may not have been the most-popular Beatle, it was “My Sweet Lord” which became the first solo track any of them came out with which actually topped the Billboard Hot 100. Indeed this is the most-successful song George Harrison ever released as a soloist and the best-seller of any of the former Beatles during the 1970’s.
Indeed even outside of the United States, “My Sweet Lord” proved to be a mega hit, topping the charts in these countries: • Australia • Austria • Belgium • Canada • Ireland • The Netherlands • New Zealand • Norway • Spain • Sweden • Switzerland • United Kingdom
Release Date of “My Sweet Lord” “My Sweet Lord” was released by Apple Records on 27 November 1970. It was the lead single from George Harrison’s third album, “All Things Must Pass.”
God allowed him to leave here sooner than many would have wanted because God had better plans for him! Let it Be, he ended on the right note I say! Pointing out what God wanted not George or the world!
To me his Passing when he did and how he did says he had a worthy drive and desire to seek and know the Lord, but, he wasn’t truly specific enough, so was catering to the ways of the world like any of us do from time to time in our lives, not always serving the Master! And that is the duality or dichotomy of man; torn between placing one’s life truly in the hands of God and serving “His will” or wanting to submit to his own will and find whatever earthly success he can which is the wrong path and a dead end for sure! We can take a slippery slope into the clutches of the Evil one or we can climb our designated by God, “stairway to heaven.”
As I see the truth in this there is only one way to really try “living;” and that is to submit our lives totally to Jesus Christ, and in so doing “our life is truly a life lived for God and His divine plan” for any one of us that will put Him above all things! As only He knows what is best for each one of us, He being the Creator and our Maker! His love is beyond comprehension, but, we only need “Jesus Christ” to lead the way in order to truly live and become a member in God’s eternal family in paradise! Amen.
“How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!” Psalm 147:5
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:23
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.🙏 God bless you and yours!
“Happy Thanksgiving!”

An added thought came to mind now! Something I said to another online Lady a while ago and I think it is very symbolic as well, probably my favorite operatic play of its type, which I quoted with my thought at the time!
Do you know what those humming birds are? Survivors! So delicate and precious but yet they travel even tens of thousands of miles through all the storms and terrains full of dangers in all temperatures always on the edge of catastrophe even they manage to Survive reaching their destination where they can bask in the sunshine with the music of all the other bird species singing their happy tunes and the hummingbirds find all the nectar they need to live day after day! To me it’s like Man of La Mancha – The Impossible Dream singing the impossible dream; to dream that impossible dream to fight the unbeatable foe to fight with your last ounce of courage! This was what I am to tell you and in these words the message is contained!
“To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star” 🙂🌻 ❤️ ✝️ 🙏 🌟✨💫
Interesting footnote! You got this to be my One Thousandth One Posting!
And yes the Spirit of our Lord spoke to me and this is the verse He wanted me to reflect upon here; at this juncture!
“9The LORD has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and to this day no one can stand against you. 10 One of you can put a thousand to flight, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised. 11Therefore watch yourselves carefully, that you love the LORD your God.” Joshua 23:10
I’m that extra one! Yup, the odd ball…

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò appealed to Catholics, Christians, and people of Faith to unite against the dark forces of globalism.
Archbishop Viganò sent The Gateway Pundit his video and Appeal for an Anti-Globalist Alliance.
Please watch his moving call for unity, courage, strength, and faith.
Archbishop Viganò shared this moving text and video with us on Wednesday. The video and text are an international call for the creation of an anti-globalist alliance to defeat the evil elites who wish to enslave free men and women and promote a “Religion of Humanity that cancels Faith in Christ.”
From Archbishop Viganò:
“This Anti-Globalist Alliance will have to bring together the Nations that intend to escape the infernal yoke of tyranny and affirm their own sovereignty, forming agreements of mutual collaboration with Nations and peoples who share their principles and the common yearning for freedom, justice, and goodness. It will have to denounce the crimes of the elite, identify those responsible, denounce them to international tribunals, and limit their excessive power and harmful influence. It will have to prevent the action of the lobbies, above all by fighting against the corruption of state officials and those who work in the information industry, and by freezing the capital used to destabilize the social order.”
The whole pandemic issue is instrumental to the Great Reset, and it is the latter that we must fight. I think that, at this moment, it is most appropriate to create a movement of the people that calls together, in an Anti-globalist Alliance, Catholics, Christians, and people of goodwill. This is the first appeal I make to that effect.
…If the attack is global. The defense must also be global.
Here is a text of Archbishop Viganò’s message (see video of the same message below)
But for many decades all of this was unfolding and being carefully planned by the most nefarious diabolical humans on earth directed by “Satan himself pushing the agenda of the Mark of the Beast and Global Control” for the Antichrist to take his throne as god and totally crushing any worship of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; so that Satan rules mankind and forces all to worship him via the Antichrist!
I saw this graphically occurring on September 11, 2001when just having a late breakfast I turned on the TV to see the weather report and instead saw the Twin Trade Towers in NYC being destroyed in real time from start to finish! Being so shocked and in tears I ran out to my immediate neighbor’s home that was a retired couple to see how they were if they were acting seeing this horrible thing happening on their television too which they were and had me sit with them as we all were shocked to tear together! The gentleman and his wife both had served in the US Army in World War II and I felt so bad that they were witnessing this evil in our own Nation under God!
Mind you; these two videos when I just watched them again make me tear up immediately again to see such evil is so rampant in our world and getting far worse now all these years later with the conducting of mass depopulation, Crimes Against Humanity and other horrors upon the peoples of tis world! These two videos I was able to find are new to me and I only saw them for the first time yesterday when I prayed to God through Jesus Christ to help me say something worthwhile to people out there especially now that I was going to post my one thousandth essay/article on Word Press! I hope that it’s exactly what I felt God’s Holy Spirit telling me; that my feelings and effort are serving some purpose for Him doing His will; and that is all I care about!
But the really profound thing about all of this is what I had looked at just prior to Archbishop Viganò’s message and then stumbling as it seemed upon these videos instantaneously after when I had just seen another blog essay prior to all of this unfolding, which to me struck me clearly as what the false teachers or prophets peddle all over the place now; the false prophets and liars of our age that do not know God Almighty or seek him as they are the blind leading the blind with false religions, paganism or this New Age nonsense of all religions can unite as one, or just love and that is the answer to anything; even our fallibility and coming death!
Surrender is faith that the power of love can accomplish anything… even when you cannot foresee the outcome. ~Deepak Chopra
In other words more lies that are telling people to ignore Jesus Christ and what He said; and more importantly who He said and proved He is! The Living God Almighty our Creator and none come to the Father but through Him Jesus Christ! They remind of me of John Lennon’s false religion song “Imagine” which is all about a false belief system and basically communism and a rejection of Jesus Christ being who He told us or the world He is! That song is just what the false prophet non pope Bergoglio is chanting and projecting to the world from his Marxist ideology and Satanism Freemason beliefs!
Do you think that this Diabolical Evil from hell was or is going to be stifled or not continue to escalate the Final War upon Humanity?
I recall thinking how this event of 911 was a line in the sands of time and prophecy a specific demarcation point in the battle for justice which had been crossed by Satan in this ensuing Battle between Heaven and Hell that began with the great fall; now passing through an hour glass to the end of this world as we know it. As if all-time is passing through this figurative hour glass!
I couldn’t see how this wasn’t the beginning of the most horrific evils being unleashed from hell, with our high tech modern age going in the direction it is; with AI taking a grip on humanity while many power mongers gloating with earthly power want all they can grab and only seeing an opportunity to cease all earthly power now as they are driven and possessed by Satan!
This by Archbishop Viganò is the opposite of what this other blogger was spewing to lost fools dragging them to Hell.
Abp. Viganò calls people of faith to unite worldwide to join the anti-globalist alliance to free humanity from this totalitarian regime! I hope you all get it now if you haven’t up to this point; because your immortal soul is at stake!
“The Vatican, along with the draconian infiltration of the trained militants of the Jesuit Order, bring their combined objectives to infiltrate all world governments and cultures with the ultimate goal of achieving global satanism. This includes the implementation of Armageddon software and instigating wars and conflicts in partnership with the NAA. The Jesuits are behind the key soft kill methods being used in the attempt to accelerate the death rate for global depopulation and eugenic models through deploying and weaponizing multiple toxic exposures: GMOs, vaccine injections, chemtrails, radiation, nuclear and toxic waste ‘accidents’ and the transhumanist agenda. Their sinister plan is to destroy sovereign nations and cultural identity in so to lay the groundwork for the one world religion, which is based upon the open acceptance of practicing Satanism by the ruling elite satanic families. The cornerstone of these depraved practices includes child sexual abuse, child sexual ritual, human blood sacrifice, blood drinking and cannibalism. Packaged as a religion that is desired and promoted by non-human alien entities, assorted lunar forces and demonic spirits, these most vile planetary controllers carry out abhorrent anti-human agendas. Covered in opulent robes, they publicly profess to be devout men of God praying for world peace, while behind closed doors, the top echelon is negotiating to incite terrorism, war and run child trafficking rings to every corner of the globe. Pedophilia is a prime tool used by the NAA to conquer various races, planets and solar systems. This why it is prevalent in the organizations they control, such as the Vatican, the Catholic Church and Washington, DC.”
These elaborate satanic rituals are meticulously well organized to directly communicate and interact with the anti-Christ forces, mainly nonhuman entities. Through black magic sorcery, human sacrifice and blood harvesting, they receive detailed instructions from the off planet anti-Christ forces, to carry out the next moves for their One World Order agenda. These black magic rituals, with child sacrifices, go back to the NAA invasion and the introduction of the Kabbalah teachings, when the Artificial Tree of Life and demonic hierarchies were presented in Babylon by the Saturnian blood worshippers. This spiritual template is still being used by Satanists and Luciferians worldwide, it is their religion. Some believe they are the descendants of superior alien Gods and through the practice of blood ritual sacrifices, it gives them the means by which to contact demonic entities and their spiritual master, Satan or Lucifer, and carry out his wishes. Satanists and Luciferians are masterful deceivers who cloak themselves in many assorted names and labels, which go way beyond the Church of Rome, choosing their disguise to hide behind many different religions, atheism or secret societies. This makes them appear to be separate groups, but they are actually running the world under the same unifying umbrella of hidden satanic practices.

According to the Apostle Paul, spirits of wickedness thrown down from the third heaven are dispersed in a multitude throughout the first heaven. It is with this abode of fallen angels and demons that Indian god-men (2), shaman, and contemporary New Age mediums interact and to which astral plane travelers from the time of Nimrod to our own have been visiting:
“Western observers began participating in shamanistic sessions involving hallucinogenic plants, (and) found, to their astonishment, that they could have experiences similar to those described by shamans.” ‘Life’ magazine popularized shamanism in a 1957 story, “In Mexico, American banker Gordon Wasson ate psilocybin mushrooms in a session conducted by (a) shaman.” Wasson described to ‘Life’s’ readers his experience of “flying out of his body.” Narby and Huxley report that “hundreds of thousands of people read Wasson’s account, and many followed his example.” (Modern Shamanism: Spirit Contact & Spiritual Progress, James Herrick, p. 17, from “On Global Wizardry, edited by Peter Jones)
When the soul comes out of its’ body upon its death, it is immediately within the realm of evil spirits. According to early Church Fathers, if the soul is that of a faithful believer it will be met by one of Gods’ Holy Angels and escorted to the third heaven. If not, it will meet with deceiving, malignant spirits.
Shamanists and practicing occultists such as Carl Jung know that all about us and even here on earth there exist powerful, intelligent, evil beings that move so fast we cannot see them, who emit rays outside the spectrum of our vision and communicate among themselves on a wavelength beyond what man can hear and apprehend, thus they can observe us, inflate our most disordered, evil passions, overcome our wills, and influence our dreams and thoughts for good or bad. They can also, by way of telepathy or automatic writing, transmit through someone like Nietzsche or Carl Jung teachings from the demonic realm.
According to the highly celebrated Jung, Philemon, a winged, horned demon, supervised and inspired the writing of the “Seven Sermons to the Dead.” Jung described the occasion like this:
“The whole house was…crammed full of spirits. They were packed deep right up to the door, and the air was so thick I could hardly breathe…Then it began to flow out of me, and in the course of three evenings the thing (Septem Sermones ad Mortuos) was written.” (Jung relates how his soul departed into the timeless realm)…the mystical land of the dead (and) soon after the….’dead’ appeared to me and the result was the Septem Sermones.” (To Hell and Back, Maurice S. Rawlings, M.D., p.143)
Spirits can, and do, influence the minds of God-hating evolutionary humanists who then trumpet the demonic ‘isms’ dropped into their minds as their own brilliant ideas and do the work of devils by leading astray millions of people with their damnable soul-destroying teachings.
The whole evil goal of the evil Multicutural-Diversity Movement is to make man more Worldly, and less Spiritual. To falsify, embellish and over-emphasize the Material World over Eternity. To amplify all worldly passions and portray them as “good” and “natural” and “scientific”, and their acceptance by man as “Progress”. To have the Darkness overcome the Light.
Again, the goal of Jesus is Division. And again, Satan Unites.
Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man’s enemies shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. Matt 10:32-42
These are the quoted words of Jesus Christ, the Lord thy God. We either take Him at His Word, or we do not. That is the eternal dividing point.
We see today the outraged and enraged Leftist Loony-Tunes acting out with screaming obscenities and even violence, rehearsed and orchestrated by the Marxocrat Party, Funded by the likes of George Soros, organized by Alinskyians and continuously incited by the overheated rhetoric of the likes of Maxine Waters.
Over what?
Over the mere possibility of the Darkness being overcome by the Light.
Over the slightest possibility of the shutting down of the evil, Satanic, Marxocrat Party’s Central Sacrament of Abortion.
And, of course, over perhaps Satan’s greatest achievement, the cultural acceptance, blessing and legal protection of the “Lifestyles” of Sodom and Gomorrah. And the establishment in law of LGBT “Rights”.
Culturally Marxist and therefore “Progressive” Upper Academia today incorporates anti-American and anti-civilization Marxism and Homosexuality into all formative education, from elementary school all the way through the most advanced university degree programs. Whatever else is taught, pro-Marxism, anti-Capitalism and unnatural sex are also taught in the background. Along with the instilling of hostility toward America and American history, the American Constitution, white people, men, Christianity, Christians, the bourgeois independent working class, corporations, and all those among the most successful rich people who are not Marxist or otherwise anti-American.
Globalist Pope Francis’ Marxist Program to End All Sovereign Nations.
Our Globalist Pope leads the attack on all National Sovereignty to bring an end to all national borders in favor of Total Global Disorder, ostensibly for the good of the Planet and the Poor.
We have spoken of Pope Francis’ obvious Marxism among the Papal Imperfections Pages, among other places. His unfailing support of Marxism’s total global agenda leads to one possible conclusion, that he may actually be a Radical Marxist Revolutionary in deep disguise. Or, of course, he could be stupid; a mere Marxist Useful Idiot. Or something somewhere in between, like a Progressive. Whatever he is, he opposes national sovereignty and the right of nations to have borders and rules of entry. And, whether he believes it or not, he fervently supports the Marxist-Globalist-driven Climate Change hoax aimed at all nations subordinating themselves to Global Governance, for the good of the planet.
(And for the good of Globalism.)
Without naming names, specifically without naming President Trump, Pope Francis has embarked on a program directly opposing anti-illegal immigration “Right Wing Populism” in all sovereign nations with borders. He wants all nations to allow floods of un-vetted, undocumented, aliens to enter their borders without restriction.
No need to apply for immigration papers at any embassy, no need for any immigration papers, no need to do anything the law requires in any nation, or even to enter through the appropriate entry points. Just flood right on in, from any point on any border. And bring your Marxism and/or your Islamism with you, right on into your new host country.
Lots of Cardinals, Bishops and Priests have jumped on Francis’ Globalist bandwagon and are welcoming criminal aliens with open arms, all over America. Publishing foreign language lists of “rights” for them to learn and take advantage of, as if they were citizens with citizen’s rights, and not criminal aliens at all.
We can understand, if not forgive, Pope Francis’s Marxism since he was born and raised under Socialism. But for American clerics to be pushing all this treason against America and promoting condemned Marxism over Catholicism is shocking. How did they learn to hate America so? How did they come to support worldly Globalist-Communist Utopian ideals over Catholicism?
The question applies to them as well as to the Pope:
Are they stupid, or are they evil?
Who am I to judge?

Couple of great truthful comments to keep in mind!

Look at all the Roman Catholic Church bashing on this site. No surprise, you are no different than the liberals who attacked the Roman Catholic Church since the 1950s. You are in great company.
Finally. Many so called “born again Christians” continually attack Roman Catholics. This has been going on since at least the 1930s and is no different than liberals who attack conservatives. In fact, it was the leftist who mercilessly attacked the Roman Catholic Church since at least the 1950s. The Roman Catholic Church is not a building or structure. Many do not recognize the heretic Francis or the current Novus Ordo Mass/Vatican II mass created in the early 1960s to destroy the Church and it succeeded. The tradition Latin Mass and those who refute the Vatican II mass are few, and demonized by the Vatican. Many do not realize that those who helped create Vatican II were not Roman Catholic, but leadership of various Protestant religions.

This is inspired by the Holy Spirit. I thank God, as a Protestant type Christian, that this man loves the Lord and loves truth. What an amazing succinct summary of the issues, no words wasted, this is calm but passionate fire. Thank you Father, bless his life and may he complete all your work you have for him to do. In Jesus’ name I pray.

“No Politician Should Have This Power!!” This Is TERRIFYING
The Government is acquiring indefinite emergency power for the health minister a (demi-GOD); and the restrictions are absolutely an insane draconian dystopian arrangement, more like the literary sci-fi term of the horrific anti-human engineered society of the future, resembling more the vision of “George Orwell’s 1984,” which sure it was a science fiction novel, but guess what, its coming true right now! These bloody bastards are starting to demand we all fall into line and comply with their every demand or else!!! COMMUNISM OF THE WORST ORDER which sounds a lot like North Korea type mentality in these screwballs in Australia’s government that they have as leaders, and just like here in the US that we voted into office (Rigged Elections) to work for us the people, and instead they said shove all that; we are doing what we want for ourselves and you can’t say diddlysquat!
What’s happened here in America is the big money, aka lobbyists like Big Pharma, Big Tech and all of the most nefarious minded evil slimiest people like Gates, Xi Jinping, Biden and Fauci head of the NIH highest paid federal government employee $434,312 and with all of his vaccines patents and other Big Pharma stock options and investments along with some actual backdoor deals aka money laundering that pencil pusher is making millions a year easily to do all he can to help Big Pharma get what they want from the Federal Government, to screw over the public; as in you take care of us and we take care of you! All of which is absolute power corrupting absolutely; basically an Organized Crime Syndicate and these supposed public servants or private entrepreneurs are gangsters! Is this what public servants and officials are supposed to do in a Democracy? Hardly! Sounds like a damned Dictatorship to me! All of this is geared toward more profit and doing better than the previous year; no end in sight to this corruption; and now they want to get rid of most of us as in genocide to depopulate the planet so they have it all to themselves and the Devil!
The whole system went Haywire a long time back and so many crony crooks and officials have sold out that I dare say if there were a crackdown to clean up the corruption first there may not be enough not corrupted to do the job and if they could we need to lock up probably 75% of all the upper echelon or even more than that! YUCK!!! So my point is I like Russell Brand putting a satirical spin on things a bit, it was good and he does get me to laugh which is something I sure like to still do when I can! But I don’t find myself in a laughing mood much these last couple of years, though still, I do try to find opportunity to do it because it is a good way to keep our sanity, kind of like a relief valve on a pressure cooker! This along with deep prayer of course and talking to Jesus and the Father through the Holy Spirit!
The other issue is that so many more cronies are joining forces with these power mongers to get a leg up and be a part on the winning side of the evil people in control! And basically this is so they can gain favor and sell out joining the party of Commies or Nazis, this way they won’t be kicked around they figure; but this is how Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin or any other megalomaniac tyrants rose to power! Naturally my greatest concern now is this all going to be too little too late as in we all watched this coming for decades and just sat around goofing off and kicking the can, as they say; down the road of course while being brainwashed and giving too much trust to men!
There was this guy I used to work with once, when I had a government job that I hated because of all the corruption I saw and the rotten attitudes that workers had, this guy’s included. I mainly felt that way because of their political connections and sense of entitlement or thinking they are so important and better than others, all so totally unlike me; as it were I got the job on my own merits and a God Send situation that came up suddenly after my initially not getting the job because a crony got it; but this guy one day while we were working said to me “all this crap is not my problem its above my pay grade;” I began to see how the politicians are all parasites and most if not all of the employees are political appointments or favor by nepotism, so all a bunch of little parasites working for the biggest ones! See people are mostly into things they do only for self and not for the better of our collective society, and the maintaining of freedom; selfish greed and just plain slothfulness, horribly lazy persons which is a sin! And I had come from the opposite side of the spectrum a huge clash, having had a hard physically demanding job working overnight and part of the following day; in total close to 15 hours a day, and hardly time to do anything for myself; no recreation other than try to catch a few hours’ sleep on my day off.
Everyone has a price they say too, so perhaps the snake has sunk its fangs in and injected too much venom into the hearts and minds of society as a whole, for enough of the people, to really do enough to stop the trajectory of this rocket to the forbidden planet; called hell on Earth. A protestor in Australia captured on camera did indeed say “Enough is Enough;” but I say “This is the SHIT!!!”
God bless you and keep the faith!
Brother in Christ Jesus,

“We take up our crosses and follow Him our beloved Jesus Christ”
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil”
Perfect timing and a most timely message here! I was just thinking early today as I was on a daily walk with my dog; thinking about this very point here in your well-illustrated truthful message!
“Busybodies” as you said was a precise thought I had about people in my immediate community along with meddlers, cronies of politics and power and just plain scoffers of a person who walks alone or is going against the tide and status-quo, as they speak with jealousy and contempt even backstabbing! As for example how so many were duped into getting the jab from the get-goes being proud they will not admit that they may have been wrong, tricked into trusting the government and MSM over being aligned with the Holy Spirit, because of pride and in some people severe bullheadedness to a fault! In Revelations it speaks about End Time when the truly haughty and proud will march into hell rather than to be totally humbled and submit to God’s Truth and admit their extreme error and need for redemption unto salvation! A time when truth and goodness are ridiculed or those who speak it are targeted
.
“The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” George Orwell
Many of these people I see around me know I worked in MSM and other fields of expertise but I shun the system and don’t give into government or powers and principalities all created and ruled by men; I obey all of the civil laws and moral codes of conduct but I will not be a minion to any man, group or government, especially now in this generation which I see is clearly passing away as in being the most lost ever with only one possible outcome which will be what has happened the Great Apostasy leading to the collapse of all humanity and the rise of the antichrist which will of course real the greatest lie from the father of all lies leaving only the final judgment and the return of our Savior Jesus Christ!
Billy Graham had said; “Many of our news magazines carry stories of immorality. Theologians and pastors are quoted as condoning sexual immorality under certain circumstances. The Bible says through Isaiah the prophet: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).
Precisely again what I was contemplating as I walked with my dog earlier today and you have brought to the fore here in your blog message! Billy Graham went on to explain very profoundly what I do see going on exponentially now!
“Humanity has always been dexterous at confusing evil with good. That was Adam and Eve’s problem, and it is our problem today. If evil were not made to appear good, there would be no such thing as temptation. It is in their close similarity that the danger lies.
Modern social righteousness often differs from the righteousness of the Bible. Someone has said: “A wrong deed is right if the majority of people declare it not to be wrong.” By this principle we can see our standards shifting from year to year according to the popular vote! Divorce was once frowned upon by society, and laws against fornication and adultery were strictly enforced. But now divorce is accepted by society, and fornication is glorified in our literature and films.
The Bible says: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin, and the Bible says God is going to judge it.
Honesty was once the hallmark of character. But it has been set aside with an “It’s all right if you don’t get caught” philosophy. Only when we are in court are we required to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” https://billygraham.org/decision-magazine/june-2012/confusing-evil-with-good/
I actually pain and long for this because as i see it each passing day may be an opportunity for some others to finally wake up and seek Christ in great humility but also I see far too much evil ensnaring more souls that are even running to the precipice now! This to me is the nightmare of all nightmares! I pray for God Almighty’s mercy for this lost generation but I ask that He would please bring His judgment as soon as possible and the final closure to the spiritual battle!
I’m convinced God answered my prayer and deep concern today with your message that He inspired you to bring into the light for all of us to see and I thank you for being his instrument in this way as you humble yourself and doing your utmost to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus by doing our Father’s will. Amen.
We take up our crosses and follow Him our beloved Jesus Christ!
God bless you and yours!
