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 †

Thank you for posting these!
Oh how I love Spurgeon because of the ways he helps us see glorious God.
Very timely for me as I plan on 100,000 illegal aliens to come across our borders…monthly.
We have 2 small businesses. I expect labor costs to go up and profit to plunge.
I was naive and arrogant assuming we had another 4 years of Trump. Wow. Just wow.
Everything is shifting sand…except Christ!
Onward then!

Thank you so much, Dan, for posting this. One of my favorite “sayings” based on scripture is…
Bloom where you are planted.
No matter where God has placed you, bloom.
Posted at Revolver News today, a fascinating documentary on Papua New Guinea and the native truckers who travel some of the roughest, most dangerous roads in the region. I have always had rather strong objections to drone technology because of the use of it for authoritarian purposes such as spying and bombing, but I can see where it could be a real blessing to these people.
rah, you might find this interesting, given your work as a trucker. 52 minutes, but it sure had my attention:
I noticed that even there a truck had a Hazmat placard.
Lol, rah, that is a detail that escaped me, and I suspect that only someone with your background would pick up on that. I was thinking how I could never navigate those roads in a jeep let alone a massive truck loaded with cargo. I don’t have the mental acuity and nerves of steel needed to do that.
That one comment regarding protecting the “family jewels” was interesting. I can’t imagine the agony those guys must experience day in and day out travelling roads in that condition. Seems like a towel or even a cushion wouldn’t be enough to mitigate it.
Fred Hargesheimer was an American pilot shot down over PNG. With the help of native tribes, he eluded capture by the Japanese. After the war, Fred returned to PNG several times. He and his wife founded a school and did much to bring the gospel of Christ Jesus to the people in PNG.

Remember, at that time, the tribesmen were isolated and were at war between tribes. They dealt severely with ‘trespassers’, especially the rare foreigner. The providence of God is always present, showing divine protection in unsuspecting ways.
A series of videos I follow is produced by a missionary pilot flying the bush in PNG.

I had tried several times to get on with an outfit flying in PNG. But it didn’t ever work out for me.
I was struck by the fact that, despite the hazards of travelling by motor vehicle (whether that be trucks or other vehicles), the Catholic priest was able to travel to his many parishes without fear of man or nature. It seems that even the highwaymen left him alone. Seemed like divine protection to me.
Paul And His Good News
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
St. Paul opens his Epistle to the Romans by declaring that he has been “separated unto the gospel [good news] of God” (1:1). This agrees with Galatians 1:15,16, where he says:
“It pleased God, who separated me, from my mother’s womb, and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me…”
The last book of the Bible tells of the coming “revelation of Jesus Christ” in glory, to judge the world and reign on earth, but here in Galatians we have “the revelation of Jesus Christ” in Paul, the chief of sinners, saved by grace. The salvation of Paul, the one-time leader of the world’s rebellion against Christ, indicated God’s willingness, yes His desire, to save sinners. Thus it was appropriate that God should choose him as the apostle of His grace, making the good news known “to all nations for the obedience of faith.”
Let us not suppose, however, that Paul’s gospel concerned only himself or God’s grace to him. Apart from Christ’s payment for sin at Calvary God could not justly have saved Paul — or any of us. Thus the Apostle goes on, in Romans 1, to explain that this good news which God has sent him to proclaim is “concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” (1:3).
All through Paul’s epistles he proclaims salvation by grace, on the basis of Christ’s finished work of redemption:
“Being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24).
“Who was delivered for our offences and raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (4:25; 5:1).
“Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, that… grace might reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord” (5:20,21).
So the message of salvation by grace is essentially good news about Christ and what He has wrought to purchase our redemption.

Romans 1:1 ¶ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Galatians 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Revelation 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Galatians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Romans 5:1 ¶ Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Thank you again for the swift rescue. I am sure that the night owl treepers looking for my daily post of “Two Minutes with the Bible” appreciate it.
IDK, my chances of not landing in the bin have been about 50/50 when I use the Bold & Underline functions in the title. I think I am just going to post “as is” from now on, then use the edit function to do the title mods. I have been binned a little with out underlining though.
For those of us who spent entirely too much time waiting to experience the last set of our favorite musicians’ performance, these songs will have a special resonance. Last sets are specia times. Usually, the casual customers have all gone home, it’s often quite late, the club is starting to close, perhaps with the staff putting chars on tables and serving last drink coffee to the small fans who remain. In reality it’s a special time. Anthropologist Victor Turner refers to as “betwixt-and-between” because, as often as not, moring isn’t all that far away and yet there’s still some evening’s music to be heard. Here are three performances that celebrate this unique time. All of these express a musician’s view of the end-of-gig feeling of final ending. For them, it’s time to move on to the next gig. For us, it’s time to hear some great performances that, seemingly for us anyway, are special gifts.
This first choice is Lyle Lovett’s “Closing Time” performance on the occasion of Austin City Limits last show on their original performance stage. We often take for granted the performance of great music. We really shouldn’t. This kinda’ explains why.
I’ve always though jazz guitarist Jim Hall’s piece, “All Across The City” perfectly captures the 2 or 3 AM existential aloneness of having finished a last set and sensing the unique silence of slumbering city. I can almost see Jim, walking out of the closed club, standing on the street with his guitar case . . . and wondering if it’s time for supper or breakfast . . .
And finally our musical excursion can end with a back-story of a working musician’s life as Mose’ Allison tells us a story of having to wait for the club boss to show up with the musician’s pay for the night’s performance. Obviously, Mose’s is savvy enough to know better than to leave without gettin’ paid . . .
Found in the bin… 🙁
An excellent written post Garrison. “All Across the City’ is a relaxing composition.
You wrote–“We often take for granted the performance of great music.”
That is certainly true of many of the best things in life.
“All Across The City” is on of my very favorite Jim Hall compositions. The best version, I think, is by him and George Shearing on a Concord CD. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it on Youtube.
Thanks. 🙂

The General Grant Sequoia is the most massive living single organism on earth. Some of the giant Redwoods in California were well into their prime when Jesus was born.
While stationed at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX we lived in great family quarters, A three bedroom, two bath home with stucco exterior and hardwood floors on Chaffe Ave. It was situated on a ridgeline and from my back yard I could look out far into the distance over a good part of the city. In the back yard there was a huge oak tree that was a sapling when Santa Anna was attacking the men of Bowie, Travis, and Crockett at the Alamo.
The naming of the great, newly discovered tree species is an interesting story. If I recall properly (feel free to correct me) it was a race between British scientists and American scientists. The Brits wanted to name the tremendous tree after Wellington. Not a bad choice, however, in those days our American scientists were America-first.
So the American scientists proposed naming the tree for the well-known Cherokee scholar Sequoyah, who had created the first known alphabet of a Native American language. Quite a feat to create an alphabet, needless to say.
Long story short, as you can already guess, the American scientists and their allies successfully won the race to establish a name, and named this all-American majestic tree for an all-American member of the Cherokee Nation. Two good things unique to the United States of America.
It makes me sad sometimes to think of the lost opportunity this country had to merge peacefully in a spirit of cooperation and exchange with the existing inhabitants. What might have been…

The form of government
of the earlier colonies was
wait for it…….. SOCIALISM.
How long has the press been lackeys of the political establishment? Of course, newspapers have always picked one side or the other to support even before our Revolution, but I am referring to the broadcast media.
A study of the history of the Airmail scandal of 1934 gives a good indication of how long NBC has been a government lackey.. During the ‘Airmail Scandal of 1934 Charles Lindbergh along with almost all prominent people in aviation at the time were highly critical of FDRs executive order ending the airlines carrying the mail and ordering the US Army Air Corp to do it. Eddie Rickenbacker characterized FDR’s actions as “legalized murder”. Lindbergh’s opinion of that action was just as strong and he testified before congress on it. He was also scheduled to do a radio interview on the subject with NBC but the White House called the network and the interview was canceled.
NOTE: The Wickipedia entry on this episode is NOT a very reliable source for reading of the true events and impact of this scandal being biased towards protecting FDRs reputation/legacy by omission of important information. In the case of the Air Mail Scandal of 1934 they first state unsubstantiated claims as fact, ignore the fact that FDRs actions in this case were foolishly vindictive and motivated purely by partisan politics, then gloss over the substantial negative reactions by all the prominent experts on aviation of the day. Many of the entries on history are quite good, but Wikipedia is a politically/ideologically biased source and over time some entries on American history have been edited and sanitized as much as possible to protect icons of the left. Such bias also shows up in most current issues such as “Climate Change” with Wikipedia always faithfully towing the party line on the issue by eliminating any edits by prominent academic experts and scientists in various fields that challenge the conclusions that agree with what the left declares to be “facts”.

“How long has the press been lackeys of the political establishment?”
https://newswithviews.com/conspiracies-harari-and-the-new-york-times-part-1/
“…Harari also dismisses the idea that professors, journalists and politicians try to conceal the existence of a global conspiracy. Apparently he is unaware that the editorial page editor of The New York Times through all of the 1860s, John Swinton, delivered a speech to journalists at the Twilight Club in New York City on April 12, 1883, in which he revealed: “The business of the New York journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon. You know this and I know it….We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping-jacks; they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”…
…“Particularly remarkable is this group’s ability to see 10 moves ahead on the global board game. When they release a virus somewhere, they can predict not only how it will spread through the world, but also how it will affect the global economy a year later. When they unleash political revolution, they can control its course. When they start a war, they know how it will end.” Of course, Harari’s point is that it’s laughable to think any group can do this.
However, I have the tapes from Mikhail Gorbachev’s first State of the World Forum in 1995, and on one tape Zbigniew Brzezinski (adviser to Presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama) says they will not get to their desired world government through “one quick leap,” but rather by joining regional arrangements (e.g., NAFTA, European Union, ASEAN, etc.) first. Then, in his book, THE GRAND CHESSBOARD (1997), he explains the upcoming importance of the Caspian region and how they can manipulate disgruntled Islamists. Relevant to the impact of a released virus, remember that in 2015, Bill Gates predicted a virus would be released and spread globally. And after Covid-19 was released and was beginning to spread, I emailed ABC News on March 2, 2020 saying: “And the economic impact of the virus’ biosafety and biosecurity threats on the stock market, travel, tourism, etc. has only just begun.” …”
COVID-19 ALERT!
The Gateway Pundit posted a Steve Hilton (Fox News) report fully exposing Dr. Fauci’s role in China’s development of the CCP-Wuhan Virus (a.k.a. COVID-19). This report produces evidence that Fauci was in full support of that virus’s development. When you combine this evidence with that published in Dr. Popper’s book: COVID OPERATION and the contents of Chinese General Chi Haotian secret speech– you will clearly see what China and globalist / eugenicists have instore for the American people and the rest of the world. Dr. Fauci and his ilk really need to be indicted and convicted for crimes against humanity and should spend the rest of their lives in solitary confinement.

https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/articles/item/5223-a-covidiac-new-year-lost-in-a-maskerade
“…The Key to Freedom: Ending the Maskerade
Nearly a year into an epochal travesty the likes of which the world has never before witnessed, we are told that the situation is worse than ever despite all the lockdowns, social distancing and ritualistic mask-wearing by a bamboozled 90% of the American population. As for the cult of mask-wearing, never has there been a greater example of the public’s gullibility than its acceptance of the preposterous claim that literally everyone, symptoms or no, is capable of infecting everyone else with COVID-19, and that walking around with a stupid piece of cloth on one’s face—a typically reused and dirty ritual talisman—could contain the spread of virions so small that crude face coverings make about as much sense as colanders in a bucket brigade. To recall the emphatic admonition against reliance on face masks by Trump’s useless weather vane of a Surgeon General, Jerome Adams:…
…To which I would add: Seriously, people—stop wearing the stupid things. You are making fools of yourselves.
Even more fundamentally than PCR testing, the myth of widespread asymptomatic transmission keeps the masks on people’s faces and the Covidiacs in control. For when all the other justifications of their tyranny have finally worn thin, fear of a silent killer lurking in everyone maintains the requisite mentality of abject submission to a new way of life dictated from above.
In short, the Great Reset—a universal event in which every nation must participate, with the Pope as globalist stooge leading the way, donning and doffing his useless ritual mask as the occasion requires and demanding the Sacrament of Vaccination, even when derived from dead babies, in order to unite the world in one Disease, one Cure, and one Vaccination for the remission of COVID. Consider the diabolical analogue here: the world is to be united in a “communion” involving lines of cells taken from the flesh of children sacrificed on the Altar of Moloch.
Most of Western Europe is now a virtual concentration camp—based on the same PCR testing scam at work here—and the Italian government has announced there will be no freedom before 2024 (per John Rao’s contacts there). That is, never. In Italy, a purported 364 people died of COVID on December 31 out of a total population of 60,000,000. But, you see, there are 576,214 “cases” of COVID-19 in Italy. Never mind that less than ½ of 1% of these “cases” are deemed serious or critical, and that an even tinier percentage—almost all very elderly people with multiple comorobidities—will die….
… Thus did Fauci reveal a pathological mendacity that allows him, with complete tranquility, to reverse himself to suit the political needs of the moment even if the consequences are the ruin of a nation. But like all revolutionary elites who commit crimes against humanity, Fauci luxuriates in the perquisites of the power he has seized, including attendance at a professional baseball game sans masks and social distancing in the same stadium he deems off limits to everyone else. (Notice the characteristic fingertip pose, so fitting for the little King of the Realm.):…”
No, I think general population would be just fine for Dr. FauXi..
WW I aircraft history.
A little history that some of you may not know.
Though Von Richthofen’s image here and everywhere is forever attached to the Fokker Dr 1 triplane,
WW1: Manfred v. Richthofen’s Red Fokker Dr.1 Triplane – Bing video
and is what he was flying when he died, the fact is that is not the aircraft he got most of his victories in. This airplane model, the Albatross Dr III wwi albatross iii – Bing images is the type he was flying when he got 60 of his victories. It is also the aircraft that he first had painted red. The red color wasn’t just for show. It allowed his fellow pilots to quickly and easily identify which aircraft was being flown by the leader. Even after the Dr I came out, Von Richthofen switched between the Dr I and D III and then later the Albatros DV all the time.
Several other great German aces of WW I also got the majority of their victories in the Albatross Dr III. In fact, in it’s time it was the most effective fighter aircraft the Germans flew. I guess though people just need to think that this great combat pilot flew one of the more unusual and easily identifiable aircraft of WW I. Anyway, know one will never know for sure if the single British .303 round that downed him for the last time came from the ground fire of an Australian or from the guns of a British Sopwith Camel flown by a Brit. It is one of those questions that will be argued about forever I guess just like which P-38 pilot actually shot down Yamamoto.
. The Fokker DR 1 is powered by a “rotary” engine. This engine type was common in both German and Allied aircraft and though it looks like the radial engine that powered many post war aircraft and WW II aircraft it is in fact a very different animal. A Radial engine is mounted to the airframe and the crankshaft turns the propeller. Only the crankshaft of a “rotary” engine is mounted to the airframe and the whole engine revolves around it. The propeller is attached directly to the engine and not the crankshaft and thus the whole engine spins at the same RPM as the propeller.
This configuration was used because at the time it provided a significantly greater power to weight ratio than any other engine design available. The problem is that the create so much torque with all that metal spinning around. Thus, they could only be used in smaller aircraft like the WW I fighters because it was impossible to counter the strain of all that force with a light airframe when the engine got to big. Aircraft with rotary engines had large rudders to allow the pilot to counter the torque of the engine spinning and keep the aircraft pointed in the direction he wanted it to go. That torque also made the aircraft turn much faster when a turn was made in the direction the mass of the engine was spinning.
Once the engine was started because the engine was spinning controlling the fuel flow to the engine was not possible so these engines had no throttle. Once they were started they would run at full power and the only way the pilot had to control their power output was by arresting the spark to the spark plugs.
Another problem was lubrication. The oil was ejected through the engine exhaust valves and so now you know why goggles were an absolute necessity and why WW I pilots faces were so dirty after they landed, The caster oil used for lubrication was being blown back in their faces. Of course the oil reservoir had to be refilled after every flight.
Because of these problems and the fact that the larger and more powerful a rotary engine gets the greater it’s mass and thus the greater the torque and thus the gyroscopic force it creates, the rotary aircraft engine quickly fell out of favor after WW I.
Here, this guy who built and flies a Sopwith Camel that can explain it better than I and you get to really see the start up and hear the sound of one of those WW I engines quite well. Notice that even in flight the loud rotary engine of the Sopwith Camel almost drowns out the much larger and more powerful Merlin engine of the WW II era Spitfire fighter it is flying in formation with.
BTW both Rotary and Radial aircraft engines must have their props pulled through with the ignition off before starting because the oil accumulates in the bottom cylinders when the airplane sits and will foul the plugs if not redistributed by cycling the engine before attempting to start it. As aircraft Radial engines go bigger this became a job for multiple men.

LEAVE ROOM FOR GOD
“But when it pleased God…” Gal. i. 15
As workers for God we have to learn to make room for God – to give God “elbow room.” We calculate and estimate, and say that this and that will happen, and we forget to make room for God to come in as He chooses. Would we be surprised if God came into our meeting or into our preaching in a way we had never looked for Him to come? Do not look for God to come in any particular way, but LOOK FOR HIM. This is the way to make room for Him. Expect Him to come, but do not expect Him only in a certain way. However much we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that at any minute He may break in. We are apt to overlook this element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way. All of a sudden God meets the life – “When it was the good pleasure of God…”
Keep your life so constant in its contact with God that His surprising power may break out on the right hand and on the left. Always be in a state of expectancy, and see that you leave room for God to come in as He likes.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter II – Man At Death
2:1
“Woudst thou know the condition of the departed members of thy race, and be made familiar with the effects of the habits and associations of perverted man? Measureably thou mayest; but know thou that their conditions are varied.” Then bidding me look upward she said, “What beholdest thou?” Obedient, I looked above me, and with wonder beheld an orb brighter by far than the sun of earth in its meridian glory. Light, pure, beaming along the celestial skies, radiated there from. “There,” said my guide, “are many thou wouldst see, who, clothed in raiment soft and white, move in harmony. There, night-shades never fall, and death and gloom have no element. Those who enjoy that blest abode do not suffer; no sin or pain disturbs their calm repose. But more of this thou shalt hereafter learn.
Other scenes less joyous must first be given thee. Marietta, thou knowest well, that with man are varied characters. The departure of the spirit from its unsettled and shattered habitation below, worketh no change in its nature.” Then touching my forehead, again she said, “What seest thou?” My vision being opened to a new scene, I beheld before me forms without number, struggling in the agonies of death. Some in kingly palaces on dying couches richly hung with drapery of costly price. Some in humble cottages; others in gloomy prisons; haunts of vice and iniquity; lone forests; barren deserts, and in deep and wild waters. Some lying beneath the scorching sun; some perishing upon bleak and snowy mountains; some surrounded with weeping and attentive friends; others dying alone and forgotten. Some perishing for their religion; others tortured by the cruel savage. Some aged, despised, helpless and forsaken; others, orphans, cast out and destitute. Some expiring from wounds inflicted by the assassin; others crushed beneath the heavy tread of the war-horse in the battlefield.
Thus where time and eternity meet, was revealed a scene of indescribable misery. “This,” said my guide “is but a faint view of the effects of violated law.”

Today, January 25th, is the day in 1777 that General George Washington led his 11,000 man army to winter encampment at Valley Forge. Washington could have wintered at his home, Mount Vernon. Instead he stayed with his troops the entire time from 1775 to 1781. He saw his home only once during the entire campaign.
One reason those Patriots deserve our admiration – due to harsh winter conditions, lack of everything, and disease that finds such places, about 2,500 soldiers died.
Who among us can complain of our current circumstances in light of their commitment? How can we measure up? Who among us will be counted worthy of such steadfast forefathers?
Valley Forge · George Washington’s Mount Vernon
What most people don’t know is that the conditions in the winter camp the next year at Morristown, NJ. were actually much more sever than those at Valley Forge.
The winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge was mild compared to what his Army suffered through during the winter of 1779-80 they suffered through the coldest winter of the war there. However at least at Morristown his Army had plenty of timber to construct shelters from and to use for heating. Washington stayed with his men there also.
Our revolution was fought during a climate period named “The Little Ice Age”. A period of greatly fluctuating and colder weather than average that lasted from about 1300 to about 1850. A period when they had ice carnivals on the frozen Thames River in London. The period that wiped out the settlements that Leif Erickson had established in Greenland and other great social/political changes. The glaciers at Glacier National Park the melting of which, the climate alarmists continually hold up as an example warming were all established during the period of the “Little Ice Age”.
It is believed by some scientists that a period of very heavy volcanic activity was either responsible for the cooling or at least responsible for the severity of cold during that period. IMO hypervolcanism was most certainly a factor but not the root cause.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Former 2020 democratic presidential candidate and former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard came out swinging against crazy democrat Adam Schiff & hack exCIA director Brennan over the weekend. At times she sounds more conservative than some Republicans.
“It’s so dangerous, as you guys have been talking about, this is an issue that all Democrats, Republicans, independents, Libertarians should be extremely concerned about, especially because we don’t have to guess about where this goes or how this ends.
When you have people like former CIA Director John Brennan openly talking about how he’s spoken with or heard from appointees and nominees in the Biden administration who are already starting to look across our country for these types of movements similar to the insurgencies they’ve seen overseas, that in his words, he says make up this “unholy alliance of religious extremists, racists, bigots, he lists a few others and at the end, even libertarians.”
What characteristics are we looking for as we are building this profile of a potential extremist, what are we talking about? Religious extremists, are we talking about Christians, evangelical Christians, what is a religious extremist? Is it somebody who is pro-life? Where do you take this?
You start looking at obviously, have to be a white person, obviously likely male, libertarians, anyone who loves freedom, liberty, maybe has an American flag outside their house, or people who, you know, attended a Trump rally… A targeting of almost half the country.”

I have a request to comment on the founding of London (Londinium in Latin) from member gsonFIT.
I do not have a great amount of time, but here are some basics.
Julius Caesar, during his conquests in western Europe, had invaded Britain to see whether it was worthwhile. Britain had no (or very few) gold or silver deposits, despite claims to the contrary, although iron was relatively plentiful. In essence, Caesar decided that Britain was not worth the cost of an invasion.
This changed for various reasons by 40 A.D. under the crippled, stuttering emperor Claudius: he wanted a military victory under his belt of some sort, and there were other considerations (e.g. stopping the predations of northern Germanic barbarians by controlling both sides of the English Channel).
As far as I know, Londinium was NOT built upon a Celtic settlement, but was seen as a favorable spot for a Roman army camp, which was usually built by a river (see e.g. Cologne in Germany was founded on the Rhine River). The camp became the basis for a town, which also happened in America (Fort Worth, Fort Dodge, Fort Wayne, etc.), as soldiers needed services from civilians. The spot was picked because the river was still fairly deep for heavier Roman shipping and was narrow enough for bridges to be built.
Historian John Morris has written a book called Londinium where you will find much more about the archeology of ancient Roman London.
Thank you
Just say’n… 😉

I was cleaning out some papers and I came across this. It says it is from Anonymous. Seems very appropriate for today.
A MEMO FROM GOD
This is God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If the devil happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, DO NOT attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFJTD (something for Jesus to do) box. It will be addressed in My time, not yours. If it is a situation that you think you are capable of handling, please consult Me in prayer to be sure that it is the proper resolution. I do not need sleep nor do I slumber, there is no need for you to lose any sleep. Rest my child. If you need to contact Me, I am only a prayer away.
Just say’n… 😉
Was watching a movie. Two women were conversing.
One asked the other, “Have you found Jesus?”
The other responded, “Did not know Jesus was missing.”
So in less than a week jo da jobkiller has probably wiped out 1 million jobs, if the senate goes along. What do you think?

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen.
Amen. Lord have mercy on us.
Need some advice. I’m trying to support The Resistance.
I don’t Twitter or Facebook and stopped using Goggle as my browser.
I will not go into Target, Walmart or Kohls (I wait in the car…..)!
I currently have G-Mail. What should I switch to…..and secondly is it going to be hard?
Thanks.
ProtonMail is what I’ve heard, H&HC. Haven’t made that switch myself yet, so I can’t say how hard it is.
I just read this today, seems like some good ideas:
