Look I’m actually a kind and generous man with a huge heart and some accessible heartstrings that some people have pulled on and taken advantage of over the years trying to manipulate me or get something from me and typically just to get me to accept their wayward ways; to think as they do about these things. But it’s my responsibility to watch out for my own good and learn from my mistakes or continue to resist perversion and sin of any kind, including these sexual one’s, just as they should! That applies to everyone because Holy Scriptures say “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Leviticus 18:22
Even sexual relations outside marriage is wrong in God’s eyes, a perversion of what He created or intended this very intimate interaction between a man and a woman for; which is supposed to be a completely loving commitment to each other and a personal beautiful intimacy a complete mental, physical and spiritual expression of the great bond of love between the couple; that is all about unselfishness and only giving of self out of pure love; to the one you love so deeply in your heart, mind and soul. The Bible bluntly says, “Flee from sexual immorality” (1 Corinthians 6:18)
But we do live in a twisted culture where people find all kinds of excuses to become selfish and seek sexual gratification as a means to and end by itself, and then it just becomes all about lust and pleasure, the taking or using and abusing of another person to get that pleasure or fix; like a drug! The Devil knows all of this so he has many of us captivated by what has become in a sense this weapon, that he has used against us since the beginning, and now with all of these advanced technologies pornography is a billions of dollars a year business all about “exploitation and lustful pleasure!” Thus we have a very twisted society and sex sells, even in the imagery used in TV adds or elsewhere using human sensuality and sexuality as a tool to make money and get people’s attention to buy this or that!
If all people could resist this temptation and be virtuous and caring to one another and not allow themselves to partake of these sexual sins we would have a much healthier world on many levels. But to this point of homosexuality, I see how it’s at the bottom end of a culmination of wayward deviant, twisted, lustful desire and wanting only gratification; “not caring how bad or wrong it looks to God” and that is “an abomination to Him!” This attitude and behavior cheapens and demeans the value of human lives and places these persons at some denigrated, ruined lowly place of being less than the wild beasts, making a direct insult and mockery of and against God Himself; our Father in heaven. This is why it’s an abomination and a “major transgression against our Creator.”
Actions have consequences and my hope and prayer would be and is that more if not all people who are lost in this rebellious sinful behavior would awaken to the Truth and stop; so they can be in the good graces of God and allow their souls to be saved! Amen.
A federal judge has ruled that for-profit businesses when they operate on sincerely held religious beliefs are protected from liability for claims of discrimination by those who choose the LGBT lifestyles.
The company that filed the action, Braidwood, “has established Title VII places a substantial burden on its religious exercise, and defendants fail to meet the burden to show a compelling interest,” wrote the judge. “But even if their broad formulation of their interest in ‘preventing all forms of discrimination’ were sufficient, defendants have not selected the least restrictive means.
“Forcing a religious employer to hire, retain, and accommodate employees who conduct themselves contrary to the employer’s views regarding homosexuality and gender identity is not the least restrictive means of promoting that interest, especially when defendants are willing to make exceptions to Title VII…
The Fatalist Story Ever Told!
Not the greatest story ever told but the greatest lie ever told and crime against humanity perpetrated upon this planet earth exponentially far more deadly than anything prior! Too many people were needed to cooperate with such a massive global scale propaganda campaign and total charade, so the culpability spreads too far and wide for absolute guilt and crimes committed, from mass murder to mass murder; requiring the death penalty which isn’t going to happen at all!
Big Pharma and Government officials already have blanket liability immunity protection declaring no legal recourse being available to the damaged and dead; “why is that!” This is all a hopeless dead-end and I don’t like being a defeatist but; it’s all too little too late so millions and probably billions of bodies are going stack up over the next several years! Hey I hope I’m 100% wrong, but I don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see the writing on the proverbial wall and who is moving what narrative or will have the final say as far as human beings ruling other human beings, and being allowed to commit genocide; and get away with it! The only solution if there will be one is “God Almighty” has to step in and finalize what “Life and Death” for human beings is all about once and for all, because humans have already tossed in the proverbial “monkey wrench” and there is no full measure of justice coming from mankind or even anything held scared anymore Joyce; so it’s like beating the proverbial dead horse a million times over!
This is where “the men get separated from the boys” as it were and those who actually “believe in God versus those who do not!” Simple; and as I see it, far too many do not; even many who say they do are full of beans, mostly giving lip service and being fakers and takers like even on this internet, which is the Great American Way, just like the rest of the human race; people consistently conning other people is the norm now, I mean come on, look at MSM which is supposed to be honest reporting and journalistic dissemination of facts and truth, and why else did I bail on that industry when I was in it decades ago, when I could see the corrupted underbelly the beast’s lying nature, conniving nature, the smoke and mirrors; when it was only starting to get evil! Most are lying through their teeth! Now do you think they all want to put nooses around their own necks and will cave in to all this surfacing contrary narrative? Never happened! It’s a done deal and all sewn up! I wish the trials and hangings were coming, but instead all of the little people, that is us; are going to be left high and dry and dead!
God bless.
Amen.
Lawrence Morra III
My journey regarding the looming possibility of forced mandatory vaccination began just after January 2018. I had nearly died terribly—painfully—and had taken to studying
WHY?
As I slowly recovered from pharmaceutical products, MDs glared at my progress. I had refused to ingest any kind of pharmaceutical product and lived. I discovered medicine had changed—profoundly. My chosen field no longer existed per se.
Although I had had to decline a free pass to medical school in 1976, I still had mounds and mounds of knowledge to draw on. I got to work studying and researching—saw what is happening today LOOMING on the horizon many yesterdays ago in 2018 and did my best to help stop it.
But there are groups out there making fists upon fists of cash on the ground we’re losing and I can only see them now as controlled opposition. Today is August 16, 2021, and we are…
Thanks for the notice here Scarlett; and I have read Dr. Zelenko’s commentaries right along which when I combine his perspective with that of several other highly qualified and forthright top professionals in their field, I had concluded this same thing and I knew it from the beginning based on my own life experience, deductive logic and deep prayer to the Holy Spirit as the global nightmare unfolded!
It’s a shame that the majority of people didn’t see this Truth as you and some of us out in the world have but the mesmerizing propaganda along with the global collusion by many authorities and bureaucrats made for “a toxic soup of massive lies and deceptions” that as my Dad always told me as a kid to beware of the wolves in s sheep’s clothing in the world because if you don’t continually work to discern they will see you coming and eat you alive! Dad was right and that is what happened the most diabolical demonic human beings on earth have carefully crafted their plan the way the alien invaders did in the H.G. Wells classic novel War of the World’s did and I wrote to this effect using that science fiction story as a suggestion as to what was happening now to the human race!
One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to see some of the blatant truthful facts rising to the surface in this horror story from the pits of hell and that is where it originated from because make no mistake about it Satan is using these many nefarious cohorts on earth to pull off the mass depopulation and destruction of humanity! This all was being planned for decades and much preparation or preliminary ground work was laid out in advance with secular propaganda and mindsets being injected into societies to make people believe that science holds all the answers, and we know that was the populist theme being hammered by MSM throughout this pandemic of Trust the Science, which far too many people did and turned away from God more in the process; even stopping their worship or going to church and making that commitment!
I saw your just previous article to this one about the Mark of the Beast which I was going to try to reblog last night but it was late and decided to wait till today and lo and behold you came out with this!
So, I had compiled a viewpoint that I used in another reblog yesterday that contains some of these ideas I mention along with some worthwhile links to other postings of mine that have some specific information that fully support this determination by Dr. Zelenko which I’m going to insert here! We must remember moving forward God is the only answer and we can be confident in our faith in Jesus Christ that this Scripture holds true always as the word of God!
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
As I see it now talking about secularism or apostasy being so prevalent now it’s just as clear that even far worse than that is the fact that the masses are mostly “Luke Warm” even in spite of how much evil has reared its ugly demonic head over the last couple of years; and God said he will spit such out or reject people who will not make up their minds and more importantly “hearts” as to what they fill their hearts and minds with! And in today’s world sadly it’s not God with far too many people; even many that claim they do, are deceiving others or just themselves speaking falsely!
A prime example of that falsehood is Joe Biden and other high ranking leaders in our government and even churches! Biden in his first few months in office which he doesn’t even have the right to claim as legitimate, appropriated $469 Billion dollars for abortion making him the all-time abortion king, showing just where his priority is which is to serve his master Satan! This same monster that claims he is a Christian Catholic and wants to receive the blessed sacrament of the mass like any other person; but a person has to be in a state of repentance and grace first; which he can’t possibly be! He is according to standing history and precepts of the church disqualified being in horrendous mortal sin and willingly continues his sin, not caring what God says so therefore truly blaspheming Him; so he cannot have the Holy Blessed Eucharist placed in his totally sinful evil body and soul, as he is carrying out acts of not just Apostasy, but, of Abomination, as he serves Satan just like Obama did; and they both are clearly already property of Hell!
This is what we faithful are up against a completely reckless and evil “Ways of the World System” that is hell-bent and as Saint John Paul II had correctly stated now decades ago, “we live in a Culture of Death;” in which basically people are quite willing to do even with all they can see and hear, with their own eyes and ears so in turn they too serve the Beast! Which I believe is this corrupted world, “hell bent ways” system that is ruled by Satan! The massively destructive hate and evil fueled riots during the summer of 2020 promoted, even condoned by many in the government, which was obviously all evil; is now worshiped in America more than Jesus Christ!
It’s too far gone, and out of control and what bothers me now, is how many people I see on the internet or even in the immediate world around me that just keep accepting and going along; many of them playing phony games of promoting self or not caring at all.
This first blog link below contains some information and other links to additional essays I wrote that all revolve around this idea of massive death and destruction that is coming, just like the Biblical Prophecies told us all along would be the case in the End Time; the Four Horses of the Apocalypse are upon us; and will be unfolding soon enough! Depopulation and massive die-off’s is something I was aware of as well as my knowing that the vaccines were all part of the demonic plan to destroy humanity and bring great suffering to the people before the End comes, along with turning as many souls away from God as possible!
I got so turned off by some people that I interacted with here on this site last year and moving forward by their foolish behaviors and outright lying as they only seek to glorify themselves or get something else out of people online, I blocked them; as they are about taking and getting; a big game! One lady with tens of thousands of followers is all about fakery and lies thinking she is getting to do some good here when all she does is promote self and capitalize where and when she can! I had asked verbatim as she being a Catholic if she saw how diabolical and wrong Pope Francis is and how he has promoted falsehood, but, all she could say was “I support the pope;” so I saw then she is one of those fake Catholics like Biden or Pelosi that are not even real Christians! She wasn’t being truthful; or taking a stand for Jesus Christ and the whole Truth of God and certainly not humble; but rather playing politics and watching her own bottom-line.
Here is a portion of a previous essay that cuts to the chase!
Wuhan Flu shots were designed to “slow kill” the masses through time-delayed death
It is one thing for the genetically modified (GMO) virus to be intentionally released, but a whole different thing for the medical establishment to then introduce an injection for it right in the middle of an alleged “pandemic.”
In Montagnier’s view, this approach is an “unacceptable mistake,” at best, because all it will do is spread even more “variants” of the Chinese Virus and kill more people – which appears to have been the plan all along.
We have Donald Trump and his “Operation Warp Speed” scheme to thank for this nightmare, by the way. While some of his diehard supporters still insist that Trump should not be blamed because he was simply “misled” by his cabinet concerning the nature of the injections, Trump himself is aggressively pushing them even to this day, despite the tens of thousands of known cases of injury and death.
Evidence continues to mount that Chinese Virus injections were designed to be a “slow” kill for many, meaning their detrimental impact takes a bit of time to manifest. For some, however, injury and death will come immediately, as we have seen in the headlines as of late.
All of this would explain the mad rush to vaccinate people at “warp speed,” using any ploy or coercion tactic necessary to reach the desired target. Once enough vaccinated people start dropping dead, the remaining unvaccinated will more than likely resist, which is why the Biden regime is moving quickly to get as many people injected as possibly, preferably before July 4.
“The powers that be have your DNA from the swab tests in a database link with an artificial intelligence that will determine the best time for one to die, and it will be by a ‘natural’ cause like stroke or heart attack,” one commenter at Disclose.tv wrote about people who are not necessarily vaccinated but who have undergone a covid “test.”
“A certain frequency will resonate with the target only by the mobility tower closest to your home. Skynet is not sending droids, but frequencies.”

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands. They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat. Those who make them will become like them, So is everyone who trusts in them. – (Psalm 115:4- 8)
Today the Lord spoke to me for quite an extended period, the same things over and over. I have put them into categories for easier understanding but I received them all in one long conversation that I recorded as best as I remember.
Vaccine Fallout & Boosters
The Lord spoke once again about the covid 19 vaccines. He said that people all over the world will die in record numbers…
Yes Dawn a beautiful reminder of so much good back in those fine days of genuine family tradition, full of love and beautiful standards! Sad to see what has happened to this nation especially the nasty displays of arrogance and disrespect for just about anything good in recent years that has the name American associated with it, all triggered by the most nefarious enemies among us!
But, the good thing is Truth never dies and will always prevail like Justice; as the light overcomes all darkness or despair! The power of prayer and hope are what this is all about, just like those original Pilgrims proved back in 1620 when they crossed an ocean in wooden ships putting everything on the line to find peace, freedom and to build a “Home Sweet Home!” Home is where the heart is, and that is what you and anyone thinking about this right now should focus on for this coming Thanksgiving, letting all the good flow from within pouring out from the heart to all those we love and care about, while even extending some of it to those who are having it very tough and even alone! We can begin with prayers and then genuinely put our best foot forward like those brave and good heartened Pilgrims did way back in the day!
We can be the “New Pilgrims Now!” It’s about overcoming all the odds that can at times be stacked up against us! We’re from “the best of the best” and not quitters; “We Shall Overcome!”
God bless you and yours, and a Special blessed Thanksgiving! Amen.

How to make chicken or turkey bone soup
“Never discard the bones of turkey or chicken as they always will make a delicious soup. Scrape the meat from the bones, break the bones, pack in a kettle, and cover with cold water, adding a small onion. Cover closely and simmer very gently for three hours. Strain and cool. One-half hour before it is to be served, return to the fire, and for every quart of stock, add one cup of the cold meat, season, and keep hot till needed. This soup may be greatly improved by adding to it, three minutes before serving, ten oysters to each quart of soup.”
Chestnut Stuffing
1 quart chestnuts
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cream
Salt and Pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion juice
Shell and blanche chestnuts and cook in boiling water until tender. While hot, rub through coarse sieve. Mix with remaining ingredients. Makes 2-1/2 cups.
~
FormalTable Settings and Service
Housewives of the 1950s set their holiday dinner tables with their finest china, bearing the most exquisite designs. If the dinner was served in courses, a different design might be used with each course. All the dishes used in one course would match.
Place Plate – 10-11 inches across. This was the base plate on which the dinner plate was set.
Dinner Plate – 10-10.5 inches across, used to serve the meat and side vegetables.
Entree Plate – 8.5-9.5 inches across, used to serve an entree, salad, or fish. May have been used for dessert if the fingerbowl was brought in on it.
Dessert Plate – 7.5-8 inches across, used for dessert or salad. Used for the cake plate at tea.
Bread and Butter Plate – 6-6.5 inches across.
Soup Plate – 8-8.5 inches across with a broad, flat rim. Or a bowl could substitute.
Cups and Bowls
Cream Soup Cup – A low, broad cup with two handles, 4.5-5 inches wide and about 2 inches deep. Used for purees, bisques, and cream soups.
Boullion Cup – Looked like a tea cup with two handles that was used for clear soups, consommes, and bouillons.
Chilled Cocktail Bowl – A low, broad bowl inside a separate container. The bowl would be used to serve grapefruit, shrimp cocktail, and other chilled foods. Crushed ice would be packed around the bowl.
Glass
Colored glassware was very popular in the 1950s and would have matched the colors in the china dishes. Crystal glassware was preferred for formal dinners, either etched, cut, or rimmed with gold.
Goblet – The main component of the glassware setting. Two other glasses would have been set alongside the main goblet, usually a claret glass and a champagne glass.
Sherbet Glass – A medium sized bowl on a short stem used to serve sherbet, ice cream, and other frozen dessert.
Finger Bowl – a low, broad bowl used to dip the fingers in water.
Silver
Polished silver gave an air of sophistication to the table setting. Besides the usual dinner knife, fork, and spoon, the 1950s hostess might have provided an array of cutlery including a butter knife and smaller knives and forks for fish, entrees, salad, and fruit.
A List of Useful Serving Pieces
2 or 3 tablespoons
2 or 3 dinner forks for serving
Medium sized carving set
Butter knife or butter pick
Gravy ladle
Sugar tongs
Pie or tart server
Cold meat fork
Olive spoon or fork
Berry spoon
Jelly server
Preserve spoon
Long-handled fork and spoon
Pickle fork
Pierced server
Salad dressing ladle
Lemon fork
Asparagus server
Entree server
Cake fork
sardine server
Ice tongs
Ice spoon
Sugar spoon
Sugar sifter for powdered sugar
Ice-cream knife or server
Cheese server
Melon knife
Grape scissors
Linen
The 1950s hostess preferred white linen damask for a table cover at dinner. The napkins always matched the tablecloth. Monogramming was very popular in the 1950s.
Centerpieces and Decorations
Flowers were popular centerpieces in the 1950s. The colors had to blend in with the rest of the color scheme. Candles were usually white or natural wax color. The candles were lighted before the guests entered the dining-room and were kept burning until after they left the room.
From The American Woman’s Cook Book, 1950
~
Sounds like a lot of work! A lot of serving to do, and a lot of dishes to wash! But the 1950s housewife took pride in setting a well-appointed table. She derived satisfaction from pleasing her guests. Of course, we all know that that does not always work with family.
Most importantly, however, Thanksgiving is and was a time to spend with family and friends and to be thankful for what we have. Washing dishes is a small price to pay.
Thanksgiving Prayer
Lord, source and giver of all things, we give You thanks and all the glory on this Thanksgiving Day for the splendor and majesty of creation. We give You thanks for the blessings of family and friends: both those gathered around this table and those who are present only in our hearts. We give You thanks for this food, prepared by loving hands, and for the graces You provide to nourish our spirits, souls, and bodies so that we may continue to serve You passionately. Help us to be faithful stewards of all we have been given. May we reflect Your love and that which we have received to all those we meet, especially the less fortunate in our midst. Amen.
Practice Gratitude – Conversation Starters for Around the Table
Name two things you are thankful for this year.
Who are you thankful for, and why?
What part of nature is inspiring and beautiful to you?
What is something that makes you laugh out loud?
What is an unexpected blessing you’ve received this year?
Choose someone you are with and share three things you admire and appreciate about that person.
What is something you love about your family?
How are you going to practice gratitude this year?
Have aSafe, Happy, and Blessed Thanksgivingthis year!

“this if you will, wake up and smell the coffee moment happens; our epiphany”
Another unmistakable and profound message came to me from our Lord Jesus!
Last evening about the same time I was tired but determined to send out a message to a reply I received late yesterday afternoon to my previous comment I made the day before yesterday! Now if you like jigsaw puzzles as much as I do you will understand how good a feeling it is to see pieces to an evolving puzzle seemingly falling into place!
I believe without a doubt God is making His will known and leading the way here in what to me is as I call it connecting the dots in converging converging conversations and interacting events; and to me there is nothing I love seeing happen more because this is what the Lord’s Prayer states succinctly being most imperative; Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven! What’s more I’m so truly humbled and sorry at the same time because I’m nobody yet God allows and actually intervenes this way in my life and I just say Lord, I’m not worthy but I know you’ve shown such amazing grace and love to me that my heart is wanting to burst with sorrow and shame before you for not being the best person because I tell myself even though I’ve never been truly bad or evil I hate that I screwed up or not done better for you; and just been a fallen human being which I know you understand it all far better than I can fathom, the length and breath of it all the enormous gravity of failure that hangs over mankind and yet they produce so much more of it, far worse in many cases than all past transgressions and most frown or walk around with heads held high.
But just like this Scripture tells us; “9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.” Romans 3:10
This verse is so absolutely true but yet I know you haven’t given up on us all and I have learned and witnessed what Amazing Grace you are Lord!
“Amazing grace! howsweetthesound, That saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear. The hour I first believed!”
I have believed since a boy but did I really know what it was like to truly believe and know what that is like; no I only learned over time and through trials and tribulations, some serious suffering which was a blessing making sure I carried my cross as I must!
Now to clarify this more for all to understand for the sake of all, I’ve always been a good guy in most cases better than many and always wanting to protect and watch after others; I was brought up the right way and I was blessed with a good sensitive heart that many who loved me when growing up nurtured that good in me and then I quite naturally in turn did the same for others around me! But regardless sin gets us all one way or another and all fall short of the glory of God!
Now what I’m saying here should coalesce easily when I provide these couple of pieces to a puzzle or picture that God through the Holy Spirit has Divinely influenced as I and others have our hearts open to Jesus and allow the will of the Father to permeate our souls; then Jesus leads the way making it a smooth transition or at least something that we can handle.
First this text that came to me will fit very well with what I wrote last evening as you will see. These following quoted words I provide were not solicited by me at all but came to my email inbox at about the same time of evening as when I began writing last night.
“Then there are the non-believers, many of them good people. They use human intellect to put forth all the reasons why God does not Exist. Yet they, including many of their Christian counterparts who are lukewarm in their faith – will run to Me first. Their hearts will be unlocked and because they will only see what witness I bring to bear, they will know that I Call them. They won’t resist Me, unlike those stubborn souls who think they know more about the promise I made to return to present the Final Covenant, than Me.
Every task I give you, will lead to more and more nations taking up My Cross to create the one pathway towards Me. Never hesitate to walk alongside Me when I Call you, because when you respond to Me, you will destroy the power of evil. Evil may cause you pain, but when you allow Me to guide you, you can overcome any obstacle in your way.
I love you and I guide you, just as I protect My Prayer Groups around the world.
Now to what I wrote last evening that corresponds beautifully and I hope it all touches you or inspires as it has me to turn more so to our Lord for all of our needs and guidance in these extremely dangerous and troubled times and worse to come!
First of all I have to say WOW! I’m telling you this is some beautiful writing and to the heart and soul of what is going on in this world or what it’s all about and why we are here; really! You’re so right how so many people don’t connect to this or get it; as you mentioned when we are just teens or some people even into middle age and beyond, they keep fighting the Truth that is really deep inside and nothing in this world will bridge the gap or fill the void necessary to give that sense of completeness and joy which isn’t a material tangible thing as it transcends time and space but it must and does exist most assuredly; as we think our lives here in this limited material plane is the what we are an all we can be, when it’s not even scratching the surface of what exists beyond our comprehension and indeed our limited cognitive perceptions! This is where Jesus Christ can surely come in to make sure we see more than this surface value of life here, and know that He is real and absolutely wants to share all He has to offer with us out of His infinite love, and to totally fulfill us; filling us with His love and glory in a complete existence that is something that we don’t have the ability to fathom now which is why Trusting Him becomes so imperative. Because He has told us that He wants us to walk with him and follow for a while carrying our crosses in a difficult circumstance, but, He has promised us that staying on our path doing the Father’s will is the only way to live, and to everlasting life in His kingdom!
We can see how very short our time here really is comparatively speaking in the cosmic sense of space time, our being part of the universe and its vastness, yet each of us is barely a blip on the radar, just small flickering flames like candles in the breeze not much hope it would seem to really matter to the universe, and like the old saying, “here today gone tomorrow,” is really how it measures up to be a human being in a place that in terms of the entire known universe is about 13 Billion years old and the earth around 4.5 Billion. Depending on what school of thought and hard evidence we consider many scientists figure a forerunner of we humans was beginning life on earth about 6 Millions years ago and advanced to the more human form that we actually consider to be us more classically around 300,000 years ago, to be followed by actual Homo sapiens who were the actual ancestors that began civilization only about 6000 years ago!
Now I’m a bit tired at the moment and I know I brought this up for good reason which off the top of my head I want to say that the mystery and absolute awe of existence is profoundly captivating to me but when I place myself and my mere life into this perspective I have to admit if I have my wits about me, what can I actually amount to or what significance can I really have in the big picture or a universe and billions of people! Not much as I see it and you rightly mentioned how when we are very young we are so full of exuberance and dreams of making an impact or really becoming somebody so that others and maybe the whole world will say wow, you really did something with your life and you’re a kind of important person! Now I have to laugh and say I felt that and know so differently now how that doesn’t mean anything it’s all a lot of hot air and whimsical nonsense! Because say for example the universe goes on like it has been for another few Billion years and in that time the sun could become a red giant and the nearest planets including earth would be absorbed into the sun and eventually the red giant would under its own weight and gravity become a white dwarf! Just considering these concepts helps me to put my own life into perspective and realize that even all of earthly civilization amounts to nothing but a hill of beans, unless there is a lot more going on than meets the eye and that the human mind isn’t capable of fathoming!
But now that I spaced out our existence a bit in abstract terms let’s get right back down to earth and the old brass tacks as they say.
Where are you or I going with all of this scratching the surface and digging into some fascinating ideas or knowledge that even will really matter at the end of our lives here or further down the road or timeline as to the point would anyone care if there are people around millions of years from now or even just hundreds about who I was and what I did with my life? And what good would any of that matter in time when I’m dead and buried anyway! It wouldn’t matter in the scheme of material existence at all. But while looking into what you said in your commentary; maybe I can finally say what I think is the one thing that matters.
When you spoke about how when we are all very young and full of exuberance and dreams of what we will do in our future lives ahead and have such high hopes of amazing dreams and how this compelling drive is there by virtue of our wanting to make our mark on this world or leave a legacy, do something special in order to be remembered or very significant making use of all of that youthful ambition or sometimes pride. But then as the years pass and we go through transitions or even setbacks as life gets in the way or takes some twist and turn we start to see how the things we thought were so important recede into the background or our memories of our youth, and so we begin to let go of those desires or dreams perhaps becoming more practical, or actually seeing how those things are not so important to us and perhaps time is running out and we need to shift gears and get with the real program! That point you made about how we are find out that what we are really yearning for is that deep, pure and perfect love that can only come from our creator; this if you will, wake up and smell the coffee moment happens; our epiphany!
I think you nailed it down dashingly and so perfectly my Sister in Christ Jesus! You caused me to think of this Scripture immediately when I read this article essay of yours and it says so much about all of what I have written here; and what you finely tuned in on!
“10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. 12Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:11
Those people you mention that say speaking about Jesus Christ and His being the Truth is all so deluded, unscientific, illogical or blinded; I can categorically and unequivocally say that I know for sure they are all of those things, and they miss the boat or point totally; they are “the blind leading the blind!” I have discovered through my own life experiences and being open to Jesus Christ my whole life that He is absolutely real and does let me know in many ways or instances; sometimes very obvious and profound ways too.
God did not create us to be lost in the massive universe to be drifting in a material plane of existence like so many wild seeds that haphazardly float about having no greater meaning or Divine planned meaning!
We were created in God’s image meaning we have this contemplative, creative and ethereal conceptualization of existence and our own place in it, which we can only see to a point on our own! But then He did provide us with great wisdom in His word, the Holy Scriptures to provide us a rudder to navigate in this big world with a destination in mind and heart that He has already told us about; which is to end up with Him and our Father in their heavenly eternal kingdom!
For now because its late in the day I think I can share some much further explanation here with a couple of my previous writings that speak to this very specifically and one in particular where I was led to some concrete evidence that Jesus Christ provided through design and Divine plan to acknowledge me and my faith in Him.
That is one that I wrote called “The Salvation Stone” will I hope confirms what you already know! And then the following essay called “Always Walking with Jesus Christ” that should be self-explanatory and again further confirmation about His presence is close at hand always; He truly wants us to seek and love Him to the best of our ability and to me this is the crux of this whole subject, of what to do with our lives and what really matters! Without Jesus Christ our lives will be empty and have no ultimate true meaning, but will only serve to be like chaff or those flickering candles in the breeze, “here today gone tomorrow!” He is our only Hope! Jesus Christ truly saves and nothing else in all of existence will save you bringing you to eternal life in Paradise!
God bless you and I will pray that something here is truly helpful to you!
So adorable Hope! Lots of work for sure, but good work when you can get it I say; because this is how great mothers come in and are always remembered and loved!!! I think of the Epic, “The Passion of The Christ” when Jesus was a baby boy and our Blessed Mother Mary tended to him so beautifully and was worried too like any great mother does; but then when He was an adult and He gave so much love and affection even musing with the siting at the table He had built for her; those scenes touched me so much; so keep receiving God’s Grace and Blessings, as you do the fine job you do; as a Mother! Amen.
I love being a mother, but 79% of the time I feel like a broken record. Repeating my commandments (rules), and divvying out proper punishments when they aren’t followed.
“No! We don’t play in the dog food, it’s yucky!”
“Please! Stop making a mess, you’ll have to clean it up!”
“No, we don’t hit, son, that isn’t kind!” ….
In the face of a child we see the very raw form of mankind. It’s rebellion and potential for both good and evil, even whilst we are innocent to what is good and bad. We learn very quickly how to lie and manipulate. As if it is second nature to us.
As parents, we have our jobs cut out for us to remove such nature, to restrain it and teach our children to do the same. In order to function as a society, rules and restraints are necessary. Upholding morality and…
True Voice of the People is Being Heard Loud and Clear!
Look; the End Time is upon us, Tribulation coming on strong and politics to me is sickening after going through what we have in our corrupted rigged ugly nonsensical political government system for the last dozen years let alone the last 30 or 40 even; so anyhow, I’m a true Blue American Patriot!
But I’m being honest now about this factor of political sickness on both sides of the aisle, and I’m glad to see tides change and I’m in one Helluva Whupass Mood, and really want to kick some butt, figuratively and literally if I have to! Honest elections is a good way to start; so watch out all of you maniacs that have been riding so high on your drug of choice aaaaaaaMadness and Debauchery from Hell!!!
Now that we got that out of the way…
I got Michael the Archangel on my side with his Heavenly Army; what you got fools!!!
Anyone call this being a bully; one thing, Tough Shhiiit!!!
‘Massive political loss for the liars and ideologues’ trying ‘to blind the public’
By Art Moore November 3, 2021
Glenn Youngkin addresses supporters in Chantilly, Virginia, upon winning the Virginia governor’s race, Nov. 3, 2021. (Video screenshot)
Political neophyte Glenn Youngkin’s improbable, come-from-behind victory over Clinton acolyte and former governor Terry McAuliffe in Virginia Tuesday night is a “political sea change,” contends the man most responsible for elevating the issue of Critical Race Theory curricula in public schools.
Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute helped President Trump formulate an executive order banning teaching federal employees the neo-Marxist philosphy that white people and America are irredeemably racist.
With concerned parents across the nation raising the issue before school boards, Youngkin “made fighting against Critical Race Theory and the systematic state-sanctioned abuse of Virginia school kids the centerpiece and the closing argument of his campaign.”
Of course we all know this has been the biggest LIE ever perpetrated upon humanity if we are in possession of our faculties! What can we expect though when so many people are not just willing but begging to just give in and let our elected officials tell us what to think and do! When it is they who should be taking orders from US!
I said it before and I’m saying again, I had a bad time with my health due to brutal nefarious government officials along with their minions that harmed me and caused me to have to fight for my life on my own! Nobody cared deeply except my Mother, Father and God, along with the best doctor He sent my way to back up my legal issue; and she is a saint to me a great woman. So I don’t want any sympathy at all, but, I’m warning people that these power mongers and officials in charge won’t care a rat’s ass to wipe us out like cockroaches if they are allowed to continue making mandates and tell us we must do this or that! You are marching to your own slaughter when you think by cooperating you are saving your life; but, you are actually only providing a bit more time to live until they are ready to totally control and then destroy!
We must be vigilant in praying to Jesus Christ while we take a stand for Him and our God given purpose for existing, which is of course to serve our Father in Heaven; to do His will. And then we are assuring ourselves of life; but also everlasting in Paradise! Amen.
Don’t fail this test and take the Mark of the Beast giving in and thus supporting the Beast System! I’d rather die and plead to Jesus!
By going along with this evil you cut yourself off from God!
This is a Big Test of our faith and love of God!
It’s easy to make up your minds, look at Fauci and Biden; do you love them and want to follow them? Of course not! They are wicked and psychotic monsters!
Or do you want to love your Father in Heaven who will give you eternal happiness and genuine life there with Him through Jesus!
This is such an easy decision for me! I say to these devils bring it on and do what you will to me; but my soul belongs to God!
Amen.
God bless you and save you!
Brother in Christ Jesus,

They were spirited and eager as they gathered at the Newmarket hockey rink, a league of older men, all double-vaccinated and keen to finally get back to a sport they’d put on ice since the start of the pandemic.
Now they are recovering from COVID-19, one of their teammates dead, wondering if this tragedy could have been averted.
“It’s just strange,” mused Brian Dunn, of Thornhill. “15 guys who played separate nights, different change rooms, days apart, one tragic death. We vacillate between absolutely pissed off and sad … I lost my best friend.”
Dunn knows for certain only what happened to him when he returned to play with the Midas 3-on-3 league Sept. 30.
The over-50 league plays Mondays and Thursdays at the Stellar Drive rink: four teams, eight players each, play two games each evening on one of the two modified ice pads.
It all looks so simply clear what has happened and is going on looking back over the last few decades with hindsight vision being 20/20 for most anyone that really opens their eyes and cares.
Here in America we have top level government leadership positions filled with 100% toilet material and one only has to ask; how did this happen, to realize we all made it possible by letting the swindlers do their swindling! Who are they; mostly all of them who belong to the Establishment Country Club Upper Crust Liars of America who have been totally busy bilking all of us tax payers building enormous fortunes with anything from insider trading, to backdoor deals overseas with corporations, selling political influence, money laundering and even espionage to rake in enormous fortunes. Do any of you honestly believe that the Clinton’s should be swimming in enormous fortunes and even should have been allowed to be in government politics as long as they have? What did they actually accomplish and how did they earn all of that loot? Biden is the same for 50 years being a top dog swindler! George Bush the same as the only difference being he came from a top upper crust ruling class family and rather than doing the job he was elected to do for the American People he did a job on them and in other parts of the world as he chose to not just track down and hold accountable Bin Laden for the 9/11 attack he entrenched America in a Middle East War that created far more problems than it solved and all because he and his daddy and Dick Cheney are or were part of the Establishment Globalist Freemasons saying they had to get those WMD that didn’t really exist and they knew that; all sold their souls to Satan; that is a main reason Colin Powell was offed recently with supposedly Covid but his old age setting in and the risk of his mumblings or actively turning on the establishment being too great, which could and would expose the Bush/Cheney lie, so he was terminated.
Or what about Obama the smooth talking jive ass phony former Community Organizer Pot Selling Punk Criminal from highly corrupt Chicago who wasn’t actually a 100% Bona Fide eligible American Citizen born on American soil, making him actually “ineligible” to even run for the presidency, and as an added footnote he is gay to boot married to a man fraud, who actually did run the White House or Executive Branch, the highest office in our nation for 8 long corrupting divisive years, where gay and transgender nonsense got its strongest foothold in the American system along with him becoming the Abortion King funding more abortion than any previous president or administration; that is until, his former partner in crime at the time Biden now became the Installed Puppet POTUS, who is the World’s King of Abortion that obviously sold his soul to Satan serving the Beast System long ago and funded abortion to the tune of $469 Billion dollars during his first few months in office making “Abortion a Priority Centerpiece” of his administration for all abortions here and overseas, all that his administration can promote; and much of it now even full term day of delivery; because the body parts are being sold for multiple heinous purposes and used to even extend the evil lives of devils like Biden and Soros; and yes even for “satanic human sacrifice!”
This all began with the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center commie antichrist groups suing anyone that squawked about some fringe leftist agenda or radicalized persons/heathens not getting their own way and their desires predicated or based on immorality and outright sin in the eyes of God, making them antichrist; saying that they were being discriminated against so people started giving in and accepted the New Way the PC Way, to were now they are ramming down the throats of all Americans CRT and trangenderism from adults in the military to little elementary school children and twisting minds and hearts bending or converting them to the culture of the damned and insane who gladly sell their souls to the Devil to just go along to get along as long as they get their basic functioning needs met!
In all of this process the one big thing that was woven into the fabric of all these lies and diabolical agenda was the tossing aside of Jesus Christ and even Religious Freedom to worship and protect the founding principles that are the bedrock of this Republic under God! Most of Europe went down the socialist path many years ago and is for the most part an extremely secular society many churches closed and or converted to recreational venues or businesses while much of the Christian religion is the new style, watered down version of being all things to all people and “inclusivity being the way to love Jesus” by just allowing and accepting an anything goes kind of mentality! So abortion, gay marriage and all manner of foolishness is advocated by these new styled churches and as we see; even a fake pope in the Vatican promotes more ungodliness than even some governments’ do!
We allowed sin and evil corruptions to push tradition, tried, tested and proven rules or laws in society based on the Holy Scriptures, God’s word to be trampled upon, to just go along to get along; and basically gave up fighting long ago to be a bunch of dumb herd people! Now all ripe for the 2030 Agenda that is coming upon us with this all must be vaccinated for a cold type virus that has a 99.9% recovery rate; one of the biggest lies in human history being perpetrated by the evil globalist Luciferian Agenda!
I don’t see any road forward for such a human race except down deeper into the mire and slope that leads to perdition!
I say this because that is what it is and we must not quit but be ready to fight God’s battle on earth against all the powers of darkness that have been unleashed and are coming to vanquish all that is God’s starting with the worship of Jesus Christ the Savior! And to try taking all of our immortal souls to hell! Get ready, take a stand and pray constantly; being willing to fight for all good; doing our Father’s will who is in heaven! Amen.
My contempt is for what they’re doing to the emotionally vulnerable and fragile, in exploiting their mental illnesses by demonic cozenage not witnessed heretofore in America. That brings me to their assault on America and their villainous transmogrification of the federal government into a weapon of subjugation against which our Founding Fathers believed they had indemnified We the People.
The framers chose Federalism as our form of government because they understood experientially that government power inevitably posed a death threat to the liberty of individuals. They understood that power…
