Hundreds of Thousands Take to Streets in London

This is a beautiful sight to me where the People in any Nation are standing up for dignity, human rights and FREEDOM! These People God bless them are wonderful in my eyes to not be cowering or turning a blind eye to Truth and Justice!

They have these rights and the government is meant to serve the People not the other way around, so it’s high time the damned governments and bullies get out of the way if they won’t treat the people as dignified human beings!

Let’s pray for these good citizens who are nondestructive advocates for what is right! Amen.

God bless you all.

/MULYALE MUTISYA

A few of David’s last words were, ‘But the sons of Belial (Satan) shall be all of them as thorns cast away, because they cannot be taken with hands.Whoever touches thorns uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear; they are burned up where they lie’ (2 Samuel 23:6-7). When God commissioned Ezekiel to prophesy, He urges him, ‘And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid,though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house’ (Ezekiel 2:5-6). God’s Word uses an analogy of thorns, bristles, and briers to describe those who rebel against God’s ways, Word, and will – those who rebel against God and are under Satan’s power. Thus…

Isn’t this most special as most of what this article speaks about and presents in the videos I was spontaneously talking about with a stranger at a store early today! Almost verbatim! A sign from God!

Beautiful presentation here that you offered up for God in the name of Jesus Christ to be considered by any and all Catholics or others to consider the Truth about what has happened over the years and is now running pell-mell toward moral indignation, oblivion and damnation!

This is the first I have seen of any of this or the speakers and I have to say God bless them all for doing this and having the intestinal fortitude and goodness of conscience to take this stand for Catholics and humanity, overall something that should have been done just as candidly long ago! They put me to shame and I actually have some having been one who gave into the popular culture and deceptive rhetoric for a good part of my own youth and adulthood; mesmerized in my case not by any drugs or booze both of which I loathed but by the simple in your face decadence of going along with the pop culture and false images of success and materialism that I was falling for like many of my peers who were drugged and boozed up living like banshees in a secular lifestyle! Even though I didn’t act out or participate for the most part I was still doing what Holy Scripture tells us is sinful which is, to think it and participate in thought not action of the actual perpetrators; is sinful!

“But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.” (NASB) James 1:14-15

Once we have given in to our feelings by acting on them, we have sinned. That is Jesus’ message in the following verse.

“But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.” (NASB) Matthew 15:18-19

“Flee immorality” . . . (NASB) 1 Cor. 6:18

“Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.” (NASB) 1 Cor. 10:14

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s. But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.” (NASB) 1 Tim. 6:10-11

“Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” (NASB) 2 Tim. 2:22

“God has called us to be holy even as He is holy” (1 Pet. 1:14-16).

Should we not allow ourselves to do less; but rather to do our best; and be holy!

Just today I was in a garden center picking up some supplies and plants for my home. I was the only one nearby a women doing the same and we engaged in talking about the plants briefly then we were talking about how the Covid Crisis had wreaked havoc for so many people but I mentioned how the more frail vulnerable seniors in nursing homes had been victimized horribly by this atrocity perpetrated by the Tyrants and Deep State government machine to push the NWO Agenda. How these good people many of them that fought in World War II or subsequent wars and many mothers who raised their children with good moral standards certainly making a difference in this world for the better were subjugated to being just old junk in the way like what Governor Cuomo did in New York by sending in severely contagious cases of Covid right into the heart of these nursing homes like some Bio-Weapon to take these elderly good folks out like trash.

The inhumanity that’s been demonstrated by mankind over just this past year clearly indicates to me that Satan’s power is being usurped by many in high earthly stations to not help or save humanity with the science and policies or edicts but to attack, ruin and destroy it! Then to top this off I just read how the evil Man of Perdition of America Biden just made a public appearance saying that if the people want to fight the government they will need F-15 fighter jets and probably nukes which was obviously the talk of a dictator and madman to even say such a thing, as it was also a veiled threat to American Citizens and Patriots, that we the bad ass government will chop you all up into little pieces if you think you can stop my tyranny which is the Devil talking through him without any doubt in my mind; we have a complete manic demonically influenced creature in the White House! I said as much long before he was installed into his current station! I mention this here because the obvious over the top behaviors and attitudes of top officials like a President of the United States of America along with the Heretic Pope of the Roman Catholic Church is absolute proof that there is now a clear and present danger at work around the globe with the sole intent being to conquer and destroy! I remember when I went to some local political rallies here back in 2016 how so many Democrats where screaming bloody murder how Trump couldn’t be allowed to become president because he would most assuredly start a nuclear war and he just can’t have his fingers on that nuclear football that stays close to the president. Trump beat Clinton fair and square and he actually slowed any pace toward any nuclear conflict even becoming the first president since the cease fire armistice with North Korea was signed back in 1953 to calm Kim down and got him to stop test shooting missiles toward Guam and Japan; while actually going to the demilitarized zone and stepping into North Korea to talk face to face with Kim. Sorry you crazy Democrats the maniac you wicked people have cheated into the Presidency is the one who may very well start a Nuclear War!

Then this woman mentioned how in our town she had been bringing the host to elderly as I took it to mean in place of the priest doing it himself, he sends them to the elderly after consecrating them at and during the mass. So now not only are they performing a secular protestantized mass and having lay people distribute the Holy Sacrament to the parishioners at the church they can make a pizza delivery style passing of the Eucharist! I didn’t want to start anything because first I don’t know this lady and secondly it wasn’t my direct concern. But, I did get into my past news photographer information gathering thinking and thought I should continue our conversation a bit more to find out if she would give any opinion about such things as the, Drag Queen Story Hour, where these perverted men sit with the children and read some I’m sure weird story to the children. She answered by saying, “well that’s too much” and then I did a Segway into, isn’t there too much indoctrination going on from grade school age up through high school where this sort of thing and homosexuality along with now Wokeism is being pushed upon young vulnerable minds and damaging a generation as well as our society. I said how the “traditional tried and tested” way of living, which the Bible even addresses saying that a man commits an abomination to lay with another man, isn’t this all a sinister manipulation of our culture and “standards of morality and decency.”

Mainly because the Leftist fringe was supported by the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center bringing suit upon law suit to any organization that wouldn’t support them and give them all the recognition and even praise or glorification they are clamoring for; now we have this all being pushed down the throats of the majority to poison society. I went on to say how the Pope we now have is a fraud just like the Puppet POTUS; who are both good buddies and apparently are on the same page with regard to so many off the wall radical ideas or concepts. She did seem to be agreeing reluctantly because she is also indoctrinated by saying well there are many different people and we have to get along; and she has grandchildren as she mentioned, taking up much of her spare time. In other words playing the proverbial ostrich in the sand bit!

But, this is what has happened as I see it where so many have not resisted or are not firm enough and just went along to get along, to where now they are messing with the Eucharist and children in schools and church twisting it all into some horrendous counterfeit fraud institution of religion and that is exactly what recent prophecies of the past century along with the tried and tested Holy Scriptures spell out would happen in the End Time; as Satan prepares to install the antichrist to his earthly throne as even the head of the church and claim he is god. It’s so unsettling to think how the majority have allowed themselves to be corralled and boxed into some trap by just accepting what is coming! Where are all the protests and strong citizens with clear concise thinking when things are slipping down this slippery slope, staring into the precipice and going down like a hand basket to hell! People have been selling out incrementally since the 1930’s and this was brought out in the video documentary! This is what happened as the pandemic mushroomed into a gargantuan global lock-down for nothing more than a flu like illness with a 99.98% survival rate but yet this influenced the global population to take a Gene Altering Concoction that wasn’t properly tested over many years, the way any vaccines previously had to be before being sprung on the public! This can only be happening in such a way globally to this level by Diabolical Satanic means; all people can’t be this stupid; so the influences and indoctrination processes are designed by the darkest forces in the universe and Biden along with Bergoglio are living proof of this evil power at work; as they are leading agents of these diabolical designs!

I agree with Our Lady that punishment is long overdue and to me the punishment should come, the sooner the better, and be as harsh and painful as it can be because this human race is a wasteland of sin, debauchery and blasphemy! I’ve said it before and just recently, I feel so badly about being here in this world that it’s going on and on allowing more opportunity not to improve but rather to sin even more.

I sure know what kind of Catholic Biden is along with the Heretic Pope Bergoglio they are no doubt AUSCP Cultists infused with Freemasonry; Basically anti Catholic and I dare say that is a movement which is moving the cultural baseline closer to anti Jesus and God!

Dear Lord, help us; this lost generation is teetering on the brick of madness and evil petulantly from leaders in their lofty stations all the way down to the dregs of society, many with no recourse being so indoctrinated by the Evil One!

Awaken this foul and secular world of abomination now; I ask in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.

Catholicism Pure & Simple

Our Lady of Fatima: ”More souls go to Hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason”.

There is a lot wrong with the post-Vatican II ‘Church of Nice’ and its justification, celebration and promotion of all sorts of rampant variations of the sins of the flesh. Brainwashed by the Devil, they pretend to claim it is “charitable” to do so, but nobody buys that lie.

LifeSiteNews Correspondent Jim Hale in is Minnesota this week, covering the annual meeting of the Association of United States Catholic Priests, who attacked Jim, and mocked faithful Catholics who rallied to protest this group that promotes homosexual marriage and women’s ordination.

A regular commentator on The Eponymous Flower blog, Damian M. Mallipalli, points out an inevitable truth after watching this video clip:

Even If

“There is no cure or magic treatment”

Perfect! What a beautiful comprehensive write up on this difficulty you are experiencing that I can’t imagine being produced any better than what you have here constructed for all to learn from and share!

“There is no cure or magic treatment,” you “hit the proverbial nail on the head” saying this because after some of the nightmares I’ve had to sustain through over the last dozen or so years that were blatant attacks upon my wellbeing I too learned that there isn’t much that can be done or as you said, “no magic cures,” for so many of the things that hurt us whether they are physical or psychological. Of course many in the medical industry will say there is this med or that one to manage the condition but let me tell you most of that is hogwash and most meds will mess up a person much more ultimately being toxic, and will eventually kill.

Too many people in this world are arrogant and self-centered saying they don’t need God and are so antichrist they are surely headed to hell in a hand basket; no two ways about it! This Scripture is perfect, and you placed it here for a God given reason as I see it perfectly from my experiences that hurt me; and what it tells us all. It is a matter of Faith and what or who we put our Trust in; that is absolutely and unequivocally what God is telling us through our living in this world, telling all of us in Plain Truth by our experiences; but so many are rebellious! Here for such a short time and they would rather be on their high horse trying to deny the Author of the Universe, but they only doom themselves in the end; a test my sister!

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.” Psalm 28:7

I’ll say a prayer for you now and I thank you for showing such strength of character and heart that I know God will respond to in His way! You’re on a mission for God and working to serve His plan. Amen.
God bless you and yours.

Hot Damn!!!

If this ain’t the Cat’s Meow and Beat All!

If this isn’t some outrageous positive news and push back man, then I don’t know what else could be!

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

I recently wrote how I hope and pray parents would stand up and be counted; take some real action against these damned commie infested school boards and “crush the cockroaches pushing this CRT;” like Governor DeSantis is doing in Florida and you remember some years back; like when they “squished the fish!”

Just pass this around people get things cracking; each one of these folks was phenomenal including that 9 year old putting many adults to shame!

The man with two medical degrees could have a moonlighting career as a Stand Up Comedian too; his delivery and personality are lots of fun!

Truth be known they are all very nice people fighting the good fight, God bless them!

Here is what I just said a little over a week ago and thank God prayers get answered!

Now I say this, it’s come time to do or die, “stand up and be counted,” push came to shove and time to get off our collective asses and tell all the bastards we had enough; that we will never back down until they all back off, or are put in prison! No holds barred we need to take them all to task and be like this fine citizen, telling them we can fight back as hard as we need to until the job is done! There are millions and billions of us and only groups of them; but that is why they push the vaccines, in order to kill off massive numbers of us and keep citizens living in fear under lock and key, prisoners in our own country!
Make it happen people! God Loves you!

A young mother born and raised in the Soviet Union blasted critical race theory during a Bedford Central, New York school board meeting — arguing that it is “actually a tyrannical Soviet ideology” that results in mass starvation and has killed millions of people worldwide.

Under the guise of good intentions, compassion and love for minorities and those discriminated against, the Critical Race Theory and “equity for all” curriculum is marching society towards communism, the mother of three argued in a scathing 3-minute rebuke of the school board on Wednesday.

“The proposed ‘anti-racist program’ is just a prettier name for racial Marxist teaching.You don’t need to sugarcoat it for me. I lived it. Same methods, same vocabulary, same preferential treatment to certain groups,” she lamented.“That’s why equity is packed with good causes like ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusion,’ so nobody can challenge it…

Thank you Kathleen for another tremendously valuable article containing wonderful insights into God’s Grace and Mercy which paves the way to true Salvation and fulfillment! As I began to write here in response I felt more compelled to go on to a point that would appear more complete, so I actually spent more time than I really had or anticipated; having to wake early, but I know something from above helped me to push on to that proper point of departure to sleep! But what follows came together as is 1, 2, 3 out of thin air without any planning; like I had some duty before me. These words here I added afterwards when I finished with the reblog. I thank our Lord for it all.

“There are no short ways to perfection, but there are sure ones.” This reminded me so much of what my dad would always tell me as a young lad with chores to do. Always be willing to tackle the task or job at hand and do your best, don’t be looking for short cuts or some way to get out of doing it and not live up to your responsibilities or obligations in life!

Then this passage here jumps out to me as being so much like my dad’s way of looking at life in general and our proper duty or service to our Lord God who has given all of us this great opportunity! Because even though we are in a fallen state we have all the equipment or accommodation to rise above all of the imperfection of this fallen nature and truly be children of God; in perfect harmony with His Glory and Absolute Perfection in Heaven!

“This is also called by St. Thérèse of Lisieux “the little way”, a loving commitment to the tasks and to the people we meet in our everyday lives. She took her assignments in the convent of Lisieux as ways of manifesting her love for God and for others.”

Why else would God Himself come down to this level which compared to heaven must be utter chaos and so atrocious to God and all the heavenly angels! Yet He knows us and always sees that spark and potential that He planted in our hearts and souls; we weren’t meant to be tossed out with the trash or failures, so imperfect and lost, but to be living eternally in greatness; being so happy and joyous always!

His plan is perfect and He our Lord God doesn’t intend on losing us so the opportunities to shine and show that inner glory within are always there for the taking while He is always there to assist our efforts to not fail but to succeed, and if we have bumps in the road he will get us through that with our persistent faith and trust in Jesus Christ; always being there to come through for us. Through thick and thin always being on our side if of course we will just be willing to approach each day with humility and our hearts open to Him; so we can take the most mundane tasks and apply ourselves to that task/job as my dad used to say, and live up to our obligations taking our responsibilities seriously with vigor, enthusiasm and even a joy; to know we are enlisted in the service of the one and only Great God Almighty our Creator and Father in heaven; who loves each of us more than anyone else can or we comprehend, with eternal unconditional love! But we do need to be diligent to perform our tasks at hand thus showing our actual appreciation and respect for how much He has given to us and will when the time comes to fulfill His promise; we thus acknowledge by so doing thusly, that we are truly humbled and thankful for this gift of existing; for God’s perfect plan of love, fulfillment and bliss. We also set a good example for others to be so inspired and help each other to rise above the fray or suffering turmoil.

Let us not lose sight of Him first of all and then remain vigilant in seeking His glorious will for each of us as individuals that are all unique and precious to him, as long as we are listening to His voice in our hearts; trying our best to do the right thing being guided by our conscience to turn away from what we know is wrong and sinful.

This whole idea brought something to my mind that I think is so relative as it highly speaks to our opportunity here in this life and in a harsh contrasting way but one line in this movie jumped out in my memory having seen this film as a boy with my Dad which had two among the many who I think to be all time greats in leading roles.

“Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton) directs this true story of Henri Charriere (better known as “Papillon” or “the butterfly”), a prisoner so determined to escape the notorious Devil’s Island, he attempted it multiple times until he reached old age. Steve McQueen plays Charriere, and Dustin Hoffman is very good as the hero’s anxious, defenseless friend. Based on Charriere’s own memoir. The film is tough going (it is set, after all, on Devil’s Island) but not gratuitously violent. There are sequences that stay with one for a long time, such as Papillon’s brief stay at a leper colony and the long periods of starvation and solitary confinement he endures after each attempted flight. –Tom Keogh” quotes.net/movies/papillon

The one line is this; “Dega: A temptation resisted is a true judge of character.”

Louis Dega says that about Papillon after he saves his life from a cut throat! Dega was quite moved, as he says nobody ever did that for me, it was a profound experience for him. And in the circumstance most would do the opposite is the bottom line. Their being in that every man for himself and dog eat dog world!

“From The Practice Of The Presence Of God The Best Rule Of a Holy Life”
Much valuable insights to be sure in these writings.

“Practicing the Presence of God” is a spiritual exercise that challenges us to remain focused on God during an “everyday task or chore.” Long associated with Brother Lawrence, a monk who wrote about his experiences with “Practicing the Presence,” it is a spiritual approach to life that asks us to break down barriers that distract us from God’s presence. In this article, we discuss some of the important ideas, Scripture, and thoughts from Brother Lawrence to help you better understand Practicing the Presence of God.” spirituallyhungry.com

“Translator Robert J. Edmonson had a similar experience. “I had an image of Brother Lawrence as a jolly monk who took pleasure in cleaning pots and cooking,” Edmonson wrote. “I was struck by the depth of his love for God and his life lived in obedience, humility, and concern for others.”[4] This paradox reflects the challenge facing translators, which is best illustrated by comparing the translations of one of the more famous passages. First, from the original 1692 French edition of Maximes spirituelles:
L’on seroit même surpris si l’on sçavoit ce que l’ame dit quelquefois à Dieu.[5]
Robert Edmonson took a straightforward approach in his translation of this Maximes passage:
We would be quite surprised if we knew what the soul sometimes says to God.[6]” Wikipedia.org

The following PDF file when you have time should be to your pleasure and happiness I believe to read on in conjunction with the video presentation as to what this humble man in a monastery did for God; living up to his obligations and responsibilities.

http://www.pathsoflove.com/pdf/Practice-of-the-Presence-of-God.pdf

Brother Lawrence said and I quote: “That perfect resignation to God was a sure way to heaven, a way which we had always sufficient light for our conduct.”

You know me by now, that I can be too long winded and indeed there is so much I would like to get into regarding the movie and character as well the subject of this fine article; but as I must retire soon it would be best to add this one other line, a famous quote from a good man who was saintly and an example that I wish so many people today would be trying to live up to in behavior and character; but sadly so many are off the rails!

Martin Luther King, Jr. – “The ultimate measure of a man is… The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

God bless you all and I hope I’ve put a bit of focus on even a modicum of inspiration in your own hearts. Amen.

Today (June 9) is the feast of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi. She was one of the most remarkable lay mystics in the history of the Church. Despite being favoured with many extraordinary mystical gifts, and consulted by bishops, popes and even other saints, she kept her feet on the ground, and lived the life of a busy mother in Rome in the 1800′s. In fact, she was so focused on properly fulfilling her duties that she was known to ask God to stop favouring her with ecstacies and other spiritual gifts so that she would not be distracted from her work!

The chief road to sanctity for all of us is found through the careful performance of our daily duties. Perhaps some people are called to extraordinary things, but for most of us holiness will be entirely found within our ordinary life.

Does this mean that…

Tremendous and Exemplary offering here by our Brother!
I must pass along trying my best to offer my own humble words!

This Nation or Republic under God was built on the blood of heroes and dedicated Patriots who had great love for all of the things that matter and would take a bullet to defend them all in still now; Free America.

We as Free Americans must Honor and Respect all those who came before us and paid the ultimate price for Freedom; that must still be defended in this world unfortunately with blood, because there will always be others in the world that will want to strip Freedom away from those that have it and enslave them. “Let Freedom ring from sea to shining sea” has always been the mantra and battle cry of true Patriotic Americans and still is at the core and heart of this Republic for which is stands, one Nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all! Sadly too often these days some of the most prominent names mentioned in the news are worst cases of “absolute power corrupting absolutely” in America’s history; demonstrating their lack of the due Honor and Respect to all of those that fought and died for something as Great as our Freedom and this Great Nation, that has done so much good and will continue to do just that; as we will see a full measure of justice; because even though the wheels of justice have had to move slowly they are moving with precision as they are directed by The Great power and Judge of Truth which is God Almighty!

“Putting Things in Their Proper Perspective” my hope is you first consider the greatness of the God in heaven that loves us and then how miraculous it has been for this Nation to rise up as it did and produce so much good in a world of raging storms of conflict, and God Almighty may again bestow His blessings upon this place America, if we honor and respect as we indeed should our Creator who made this all possible; and now we citizens moving forward into the future with a singularity of purpose with utmost confidence built on the strength of our Lord God who is with us as we climb any mountain or walk through any valley in any of the trials and tribulations of life, knowing we are a great nation and people who will never quit or give up the fight for Freedom and Goodness.

God bless you all, and keep your chins up because we can still be the best of the best like our forebears were as we give Honor and Respect to all those it is due!

God bless you and yours!

The enemies of America are many, they are in every corner of the Globe, but the numbers of enemies that are right here in our midst is astounding; so called citizens that are crazed and blinded by liberalism, socialism or communism, while even some others are our very elected politicians or appointed bureaucrats! Such individuals are fools or worse to put down America, because anyone who sincerely takes the time to review world history can find its readily apparent that human societies and institutions have been plagued with tyranny, oppression and misery of the common man due to the corrupted nature of men and power having its never ending destructive effect on the hearts of men, stripping them of any Godly virtue, principles or morals that they possess which God Himself instilled in men’s hearts, what Abraham Lincoln later referred to as “the better angels of our nature” to compel or allow them to live as brothers and sisters in peace; but they too often seek to control and oppress.

This Great America has been an anomaly or Great Exception of history, for its nearly three hundred years since the creation or its implementation. So it’s quite sad that so many who live in this Great Nation under God don’t see all this truth I speak of but instead take it all for granted, not cherishing the beautiful opportunity it has given to so many and still does; as these United States of America!

There has been a destructive evil working against America for some decades now, but that is going to be stopped one way or another by God. This Nation under God can still prevail over all its enemies but only by virtue of God’s blessings and grace being bestowed upon it! Or more specifically those that will defend America’s Constitution, Christian Heritage, with the Founding Fathers Original Spirit and Intent that dwells within those words of the Constitution, along with following the will of that same God that brought forth to this continent; these United States of America!

Just to make it perfectly clear that any persons who are Anti-America, Anti-US Constitution, many of them hating this nation with outlandish vitriol; I can say this with certainly, that if they were doing and saying the things some do now within our nation, especially some who are in our federal government in Washington presently, if they were carrying on in such a way back during the times of our founding fathers, they would be hung for treason and sedition which I believe would be completely justifiable! But in this upside down madcap mess of a world today many who are wrong are being enabled and being given a sense of undeserved entitlement to say whatever they want in their verbal attacks and that is; horribly wrong!

These few statements and letters from a handful of our Forefathers should put to rest what their position, point of view and mind-set was during the drafting of our US Constitution and how they saw the Birth of America, as to what the intent was clearly based upon for its continuance; by Virtue of that One Almighty Power by which America was Born, and would Sustain Itself! To those who wish to be America’s enemies along with any other potential detractors here or abroad; you will know that the TRUTH will always prevail and JUSTICE will be served!

Benjamin Franklin
Constitutional Convention Delegate and signer of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence
“I have lived, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth — that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?”
July 28, 1787, Address at the Constitutional Convention

George Washington
First US President, Commander of Revolutionary Army
“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?”

George Washington
“[W]hile just government protects all in their religious rights, true religion affords to government its surest support.” Oct. 1789, Letter to the Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church of North America “Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.”
Oct. 20, 1792, Letter to Edward Newenham

Alexander Hamilton
First US Secretary of the Treasury
“In my opinion, the present constitution is the standard to which we are to cling…. Let an association be formed to be denominated ‘The Christian Constitutional Society,’ its object to be first: The support of the Christian religion. Second: The support of the United States.”
Apr. 16-21, 1802, Letter to James Bayard

Patrick Henry
Member of the First Continental Congress, Governor of Virginia
“The great pillars of all government…[are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.”
Jan. 8, 1799, Letter to Archibald Blai

Thomas Paine
Writer, Revolutionary leader
“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Where, say some, is the king of America? I’ll tell you, friend, He reigns above.”
1776, Common Sense

John Adams
Second President of the US
“We have no government armed in power capable of contending in human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”
1798, Address to the militia of Massachusetts
“The experiment is made, and has completely succeeded: it can no longer be called in question, whether authority in magistrates, and obedience of citizens, can be grounded on reason, morality, and the Christian religion, without the monkery of priests, or the knavery of politicians.”
1788, “A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America”

John Jay
First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
Feb. 28, 1797, Letter to clergyman Jedidiah Morse

George Mason
Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, called the “father” of the US Bill of Rights
“The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth.”
Robin v. Hardaway, Gener

In closing, I can honestly say by my faith in God and in what He produced and blessed this Nation with; through and by Our Forefathers, shall overcome all the evil that is throughout this country, working it’s malicious and destructive activity in all walks of life; that evil will be revealed and chastised by God Almighty working miracles through His elect!

God bless you and yours on this Memorial Day; those that are with us today serving or have, and those who served which are now with God. Thanks to all of you for your Service and Patriotism; you’re Deep Love for our Great Nation under God. Amen.

Thank you brother, this sounds like a beautiful piece of literary work and sorely needed in many American families these days, that is grounded on the primary societal factor or unit; the family. Going back many centuries the Japanese firmly taught and believed that the family is the primary unit of any great society and civilization, without which none of it is truly possible.

I have to admit I hadn’t read this book but will look forward to it; although the name Bunyan rang a loud bell for me, and got me thinking back to my elementary school days which I can distinctly remember how I was captivated by the legendary story of “Paul Bunyan,” who I bet was the inspiration for the 1960’s Jimmy Dean smashing hit that my dad introduced me to when talking about some of his all-time favorite recording artists of the Country genre who were way up on the list with Johnny Cash from out in the Big Country, where this big hit came from; Big Bad John!

Getting into Paul Bunyan just now I want to paste two headings in a search that stand out and are also inspirational as part of Great Americana all in place with the Great Christian Heritage of our Great Nation under God!
First here is the Wikipedia encapsulation: Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack and folk hero in American and Canadian folklore.

His exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors, and he is customarily accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox. The character originated in the oral tradition of North American loggers, and was later popularized by freelance writer William B.Wikipedia

Birthplace: Various claimed, Bemidji, Minnesota, Akeley, Minnesota, Brainerd, Minnesota, Bangor, Maine, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Oscoda, Michigan, Ossineke, Michigan, Manistique, Michigan, St. Ignace, Michigan, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Wausau, Wisconsin

Occupation:Lumberjack

Nationality:French-Canadian American

Modern Day Paul Bunyan

“Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American folklore who has long been the hero of the American logging camps. His exploits, which revolved around the tall tales of his superhuman labors, were told by the fires of bunkhouses in the northern camps from Wisconsin to Maine, from Minnesota to Oregon, to Washington and California for decades.” legendsofamerica.com/ah-paulbunyan/

“Paul Bunyan is a larger-than-life folk hero who embodies frontier vitality. He is a symbol of might, the willingness to work hard, and the resolve to overcome all obstacles. He was popularized by newspapermen across the country in 1910 and has been a part of the American culture ever since.” https://americanfolklore.net/folklore/paul-bunyan/

Well sorry I didn’t know much about the book, yet; but wanted to add some good family Americana to this great reading venue you offered here! Great idea!

God bless you.

God bless America!

Want a booklet on a biblical view of family? Specifically would you want to have something to read concerning the roles of a husband, wife, father, mother, and children? This is one that I would recommend. I read this in one sitting and pulled nearly an all-night reading since it was spiritually edifying. This booklet is by the famous preacher and Christian author John Bunyan. It is amazing to think that he died in 1688 but his work is relevant for the 21^stCentury; that is a testimony of how when writers focus on being biblical it always is timely.

The booklet is divided into four parts. Part one is on the duty of fathers, the next part is duty of wives, then…

A month we’ll never forget

It’s been almost a month since life changed forever for my 14-year-old nephew Reuben. On Saturday 24th April, he and his family went swimming at a Queensland beach. Like any other day, the kids were in the water, having fun. But the jump Reuben took ended tragically.…

Hi Ali…I had woken up a little while ago and looked online at my account. I saw your latest blog post notification with a couple of others at the top of the cue. The first I clicked on was another nice Christian lady’s the Godly Chic Diaries and after reading that posting I send this which I thought may have relevance.

https://lawrencemorra.com/2019/11/08/he-alone-is-the-way-the-path-and-the-life-and-none-come-to-the-father-but-by-the-son-2/amp/

I next clicked on a very nice Christian blog site that I follow closely lately rebogging many of his because it was a very short thank you sent to me from my last comment yesterday evening. Then when I next read yours the 3rd in the cue I was sad and not sure what to say at that moment; as I started remembering how when I was a high school student I had gone surfing with some guys I grew up with who could surf and swim well but I was fair at it. This was just after a hurricane had passed by the area and so the surf was up to humongous proportions; way over my skill level and very dangerous! But being young and I guess we can say foolish I paddled way out around a point in order to be far enough out to be in the swell area were you wait for the biggest that is beginning to crest then go for it!

A set of three huge waves were roaring toward me and then I realized I was in way over my head and not in a good place so I went for it with the approaching wave and me and the board rose up into the air a few stories and all I could do was hold onto the big gun long board which suddenly shot down pearling under with me! I was lost in the under-toe and it was sounding like a freight train down there with rocks clapping and water rushing in all directions around me so I just felt in my heart oh God please save me; knowing if I panicked it was over and had no chance of surviving. So as I went limp and got tossed I felt a calm come and had no fear or anything really on my mind, Then like a cork I popped up to the surface and was bobbing around looking out to sea. Then I saw another huge wave building to a crest coming at me so I dove under it. I was already feeling tired but then when I popped up on the surface again as the next cresting wave, the 3rd one in that set, was now almost on top of me as I then heard a voice from a man on a surfboard whom I had no idea who he was; said grab hold of the board which I did and we paddled toward shore, then he said you can make it all the way now, and I said yea and starting to swim then stand on the bottom walking the rest of the way; and as I did I looked back as I recall to see that man which I did not!

I’m shivering right now and beginning to cry because something happened to save my life that day and it was God intervening so I would live to continue here for reasons only He knew! I walked on and fell to the beach sand laying face first in it and saying thank you God and I’m not surfing anymore! I went on with life and many things have happened that if I weren’t around I know could have turned out much different, some that would affect others negatively and I also would not have grown to be who I am now, some of it good and bad; but still I know I made a difference in a big way here and there, many times.

So after feeling at a loss as to what to say to you I didn’t want to say some cliché thing and just fill in a window with some words. I got up from my chair at my desk and walked over to my bed where my dog being a bit old now was still resting so I got back on the bed and was petting her asking if she wanted to go for that big walk the one in that piece I just sent that I mentioned in it. She seemed peaceful so I said OK I’m going to lay down a bit and as I did for about 15 minutes I went into a dream and in it I was standing in a building like hospital sort of place and saw Rueben and I was glad to be there and get to see him in person so I could talk a bit; then we said our hellos and I asked him, so how long have you been standing like that and how do you feel now after all this has happened; to which he said for a while and everything is great or something to that effect because it gets fuzzy now after that point my dog happened to disturbed my peaceful dreamy state and I had to get up to bring her outside!

My hope and prayer now is that what I saw and truly hope in my heart of hearts is a sign that things will work out fine for Rueben and everyone connected to him now and onward through this circumstance! I feel in my heart God has special plans for Rueben. I’m starting to tear with emotion again; it’s all good we are in His hands! Tell Reuben I said hi and I’ll be thinking about him as I go for this morning’s walk down that same location I wrote about in that other posting. “Always Walking with Jesus Christ”

God bless you all and great love and happiness to all of you in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen. 🙏 🙏 🙏 😉 👍 ♥️ 🌻 🌈🌻🌞

Brother in Christ Jesus,
Lawrence
I just saw the last message I sent your way was April 3!

Those emojis in that order were part of a previous message to you some time ago that I noticed as soon as I looked at my contact history.

It's a God thing...

It’s been almost a month since life changed forever for my 14-year-old nephew Reuben.

On Saturday 24th April, he and his family went swimming at a Queensland beach.

Like any other day, the kids were in the water, having fun.

But the jump Reuben took ended tragically.

As he dived into the wave, he was caught in a current which pulled his head violently into a sandbank.

His neck broke in several places and he lost consciousness.

He floated to the top of the water.

His dad Andrew, my brother, thought he was pulling a prank.

But he wasn’t.

As Reuben lost consciousness he heard a voice saying ‘Don’t worry – your dad will help you.’

And, true to the voice, his dad came for him.

Quickly realising he was in danger, Andrew dived in and pulled Reuben to shore.

A retired surf lifesaver…
