Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Yazidis suing Germany for failing to prosecute IS jihadists
May 30, 2019 12:17 PM By Christine Douglass-Williams
A most welcome precedent that should be replicated accordingly in every Western country by victims of jihadists and islamic supremacists….

“Funny how no one wants to look into that report that Omar married her brother…”
By Monica Showalter – May 30, 2019
You’d think they’d be all over this like tabloid papparazzi. Wild and prurient news always sells papers and draws viewer eyeballs, and the scattered reports about how America’s first Muslim congresswoman, Rep. Ilhan Omar, reportedly married her own brother in a bid to bring him into the country ahead of the others trying to get in, is quite a doozy.

I am so very surprised, and so very happy to have seen this – today Nevada’s Governor, a Democrat, Vetoed the bill passed by the Democrat led legislature that would have eliminated Nevada’s Electoral College process. I am humbly surprised, and very glad he figured out that whole dump the electoral college game would have taken away our State’s voice. Good for him!

Agree. This is an interesting phenomena since the Constitution has no requirements that to qualify for the Office of the President the candidates must provide tax returns, so this will most likely end up in one of those hurried Supreme Court interventions since Federal trumps State when it comes to national issues.
But it is a concern.
I’m just tickled to see that our Governor gets it, with regards to voices of small states. I think having the recent experience of the federal government shipping waste for storage in Yucca mtn without State approval might have reminded him of the importance of State’s voices.
A wake up call that if this recent experience had not happened he most likely would have fallen in line with all the other States’s trying to imitate California’s antics.

“Bolton Finally Backs Off Iran Escalation: It’s “Not Over” But US “Deterred” Threat
In perhaps the best sign thus far that a potential US war with Iran has been averted (at least for the near term), given the possibility that both heightened saber-rattling and the potential for an “accidental” deadly encounter between IRGC forces and the recent build-up of American deployments could have led to a major conflict, White House National Security Adviser John Bolton himself appears to now be fast climbing down the escalation ladder. ”

So it appears that KIM JONG-UN has taken revenge on people in his “government” that he blamed for the breakdown between the United States government and the dictatorship, after the Hanoi meeting between POTUS and Un this year.
At least one NK official has been executed and two others are in hard labor prison camps.
The sister of the dictator is also apparently in disgrace.

Dear Patrick Henry:
I have learned that grieving and mourning are natural, normal, necessary & have a place but so does letting go. Letting go doesn’t mean no longer loving that person or not missing them. But it just means that we accept and are at peace that their time on earth is limited, as all of our lives are limited and that they have transitioned to their next phase. I will see them again but for a period of time I walk on Earth without them but still with their love they gave while they were here.
In my family, I had no examples of a health, Christian attitude toward death. Maybe they did & I didn’t pick up on it. Maybe I was never taught explicitly and it didn’t come naturally. I don’t know but I do know that I didn’t see it as a peaceful thing but as one of panic, occasional hysteria, denial, dread, absolute loss and heartbreaking loneliness for those left without that person who has passed. And yet we were Christian…. I also felt like something was wrong with me since God didn’t answer my prayers for healing of my relatives.
Now, I have come to see it differently. Fight it, avoid it as we have mission on earth and people to love but at the same time be reconciled and at peace that it will happen eventually but death has no sting for us if we are Christian. Well, maybe a little sting because we are attached to our family and friends and don’t want the separation, to walk without them or to leave them to walk without us. But its temporary separation.
I read so many here write so well, precisely and yet with great impact. I ramble and still don’t get a clear point across 1/2 the time! Point is, you have taught me much and more than I can properly share.
Praying for your comfort, peace, emotional strength and thankful for your kindness as you take care of and are considerate of your wife, even as you are in great need. Such a wonderful example of fully living until we pass on. Take care of yourself.

Darlin’ this is your Destiny. (Long time married here myself) and all of us “couples” know that one of us has to go first, more than likely. You will be first possibly…so…you will possibly be HER Angel-Guide when she arrives in the other realm. I say that as I am un-aware if your bride has health issues, or is in Grief-mode attempting to come to terms with your issues.
Anxiety comes from not knowing what to expect, and guilt is to be expected….You’ve looked out for, and protected each other , all of your days here in this realm.
When you decide it’s time for Hospice for you, she will support you, but she will be distressed about it. (It is all very normal. In fact something would be wrong if it weren’t that way)
You would be feeling the way she does now, if you guys were to change places.) That shows me…..that there is genuine LOVE in your relationship as a couple. {smile} It is so beautiful. Not everyone gets to experience what You two have enjoyed, and I myself feel so blessed…..having experienced that with my mate.
You are letting go…but only in the sense of your physical body….your Hearts are joined for ever. While she may physically still be here….you will always be with her, in her Heart….It’s not your responsibility to be here physically anymore. Your responsibility now, is to travel to the next Realm, and “scope out the place, and prepare for her arrival some day”
You will also come to her, in her quite moments, or when she is sleeping in her dreams….and remind her to be strong, and you still love her.
(This really does happen. I’ve witnessed it both personally and professionally too many times not to believe.)

PCH, Correct….have you spent some time reminiscing of those times? Remembering together not only the good times, but maybe even some struggles, you two weathered together, that maybe didn’t even have anything to do with you two, but you still “weathered” them as a team…job/career issues or I don’t know, when you moved into bigger living space, cause first baby on the way….you know, the stuff we life-partners do together. Or stuff like when one of you accidentally forgot the “tooth-fairy money” but the other one had your back, and everything went off without a hitch…..you know, “life’ stuff.
Actually…..those kinds of things that only life-partners have shared together. Those memories, shared again together will help both of you that you both can “weather” this thing too, no matter who goes first. It also helps you remember that YOU were not always the Strong one….that is unless You were in that “bed” giving birth to your beautiful legacy together……
Should you get tired, whilst we are speaking….don’t hesitate to take a break and rest for a while. On my computer, I have given you Sir, and special sound that alerts me to your acct’s comments.
Sometimes, communicating even, is tiring….I am reachable 24/7 until your move is made, and even after then if you wish, and are having a good day.
Also, before I forget….others, either the Mrs. or your sons can still communicate through your acct. and speak for you, to me. There may come a time, when you have a question or something, without the strength to physically type. It would be my Honor.
