The TV is my shepherd, I shall not want for entertainment.
It maketh me to lie down on the sofa.
It leadeth me away from the Scriptures.
It destroyeth my soul.
It leadeth me in the path of sex and violence for the sponsor’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in the shadow of my Christian responsibilities,
There will be no interruption,
For the TV is with me, its cable and remote, they control me.
It prepareth a commercial before me in the presence of worldliness;
It anointeth my head with humanism,
My coveting runneth over.
Surely laziness and ignorance shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house watching TV forever.

THE CROSS IN PRAYER
“At that day ye shall ask in My name.” John xvi. 26
We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us – a complete and entire and absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is nothing in which this identification is realized more than in prayer.
“Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.” Then why ask? The idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify ourselves with Our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove God answers prayer; we are here to be living monuments of God’s grace.
“I say not that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you.” Have you reached such an intimacy with God that the Lord Jesus Christ’s life of prayer is the only explanation of your life of prayer? Has Our Lord’s vicarious life become your vital life? “At that day” you will be so identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.
When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to fix the blame on someone else. That is always a snare of Satan. You will find there is a reason which is a deep instruction to you, not to anyone else.

Brown’s Daddy is at it again
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The father of Michael Brown is seeking a new investigation of the white Ferguson police officer who fatally shot the black and unarmed teenager nearly five years ago.
Michael Brown Sr. says that on Friday, the anniversary of his son’s death, he will speak at a news conference in Clayton and urge St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell to reopen the case.
Officer Darren Wilson killed Brown on Aug. 9, 2014, during a street confrontation. Wilson claimed self-defense, saying Brown was coming at him menacingly moments after attacking the officer inside Wilson’s police SUV.
The shooting set off months of often-violent protests. Demonstrations escalated again in November 2014 when a grand jury’s decision not to indict Wilson was announced. Wilson resigned that same month.

I gave you a link directly from Amazon that lists Vizio sets that still work, and tried to explain how it doesn’t really matter what brand of smart TV you use, because you can always get an inexpensive stick like a Roku or Firestick to add to an HDMI input on your monitor. That will “smarten up” even the dumbest of smart TVs.
I prefer to use my tablet as a sort of fancy remote control. I select apps from there and just cast everything wirelessly to the monitor. That way I don’t even need the apps to be resident on the set, or update them. The computer is the brain. The monitor is a passive partner in the process.

Sorry, Amazon was trying to sell the Firestick as they will no longer support the Vizio television app for Prime Video and that’s just what the email said.

And if you noticed, I said a ‘friend’…I fall asleep watching television, thats why I’m on my puter all the time 😛

Hi American friends. I see the Democrats are trying to ban assault weapons.
I am not going to get political. I support the American Constitution and Trump. How to keep those weapons away from the mentally unstable or how to prevent people from becoming unstable in the first place is a subject for a long research and discussion. But, What can I say, I like those weapons and in Israel you need to prove that you need them in order to get them and mental screening etc… In the US if you have an extra $2000 you can just buy this one that I love. The Israeli Tavor X95. It’s more or less the same as the standard Israeli military issue weapon modified for the American market.

To Ponder
Let me ponder on the miraculous victory of the Israelites over Ai (Joshua 8):
1. How the inhabitants of Ai pursued the Israelites and almost overcame them.
2. How, at God’s command, Joshua the son of Nun stretched out his banner and held it aloft until the inhabitants of Ai were routed.
3. How I must, in time of danger, raise my heart to God like a banner, and conquer with the Cross on my heart and prayer in my steps.

One Voice Children’s Choir would like to share a poem that was read by Alice Fernandez, a French national, at the 73rd D-Day commemoration at Brittany Cemetery. Ms. Fernandez and her family are direct descendants and beneficiaries of the sacrifices made by the Allied Forces during the liberation of Europe.
“Dear Veteran,
Today, I am representing thousands of children speaking to you
and to thousands of other veterans, and we want to say
thank-you!
Like us, you were once young and carefree, but when you were
still young men and women, liberty called to you, saying,—
I am dying, Come and save me!
And so you arose, full of courage and zeal, to answer that call.
You underwent training, day after day, for ‘D’ Day,
and when that day finally arrived in June 1944, you came by air and sea.
And you fought with the heart and soul of a free man, so that
we too might be free.
You saw your fellow soldiers fall on our beaches and in our
fields, and in spite of your grief and injuries, you stayed on,
saving others and fighting side-by-side with us.
And so, dear veteran, I want to tell you, and those dear to you,
who sacrificed their youth for our freedom and are now resting
in peace, that we are here because of you and thus are your
children,
And to you, dear veteran, who offered us your bravery and the
most promising years of your life, your sacrifice has not been in
vain. We are your living sons and daughters of liberty and are
here today to offer to you our most heartfelt ‘merci.'”

Lyrics (including Hebrew and French lyrics:)
Many night’s we’ve prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood,
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there’s much to fear
We were moving mountains
long before we knew we could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I’m standing here
With heart so full I can’t explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I’d say
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
