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 †

Prophesied vs. Testified
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
“If it was Paul who revealed that Christ gave Himself a ransom ‘for all’ (1 Tim. 2:6) as opposed to the “many” in Israel (Matt. 20:28), how do we explain John 1:29?”
“…John seeth Jesus…and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
John was a prophet (Luke 7:28), and the prophets didn’t always understand their own prophecies (1 Pet. 1:11), especially when it came to “the sufferings of Christ.” God knew that this would probably trouble the prophets, so He comforted them by explaining that “not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things” that they prophesied (v. 12).
We know that no one who heard John make his statement understood that Christ would die for the sins of the world, for some of the 12 heard it, but didn’t understand it (Luke 18:31-34). Not even Satan understood it (1 Cor. 2:7,8), or else he wouldn’t have instigated Judas to betray the Lord (Luke 22:3,4).
So the ransom Christ made for all men might have been prophesied in John 1:29, but it wasn’t “testified” until the “due time” came for Paul to be “ordained a preacher and an apostle” (1 Tim. 2:6,7).

1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
John 1:29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Luke 7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
1Peter 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Luke 18:31 ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Luke 22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
“If it was Paul who revealed that Christ gave Himself a ransom ‘for all’ (1 Tim. 2:6) as opposed to the “many” in Israel (Matt. 20:28), how do we explain John 1:29?”
“So the ransom Christ made for all men might have been prophesied in John 1:29, but it wasn’t “testified” until the “due time” came for Paul to be “ordained a preacher and an apostle” (1 Tim. 2:6,7).”
Clarity as to salvation coming in the same manner “for all” manifested as God moved with specific directions to the appointed preachers of the gospel as well as the Gentile hearers, as shown when an angel directed the centurion Cornelius to Peter (cf. Acts 10:1-8, 22). Meanwhile, Peter was given instruction by the Holy Spirit related to meeting those sent by Cornelius (cf. Acts 10:19-20).
Peter then began to speak regarding what applied to “all”: “And Peter, having opened the mouth, said, “Of a truth I understand that God is not One who shows partiality, but in every nation, the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him, the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the gospel, peace by Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all” (Acts 10:34-36).
The message included witnessing to Christ’s death on the cross, Christ’s resurrection, and that forgiveness of sins through the name of Jesus is available to all / “everyone believing in Him”: “And we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the region of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also put to death, having hanged Him on a tree. This One God raised up on the third day, and gave Him to become manifest, not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen beforehand by God, to us who did eat with and drink with Him after His rising out from the dead. And He instructed us to proclaim to the people and to testify fully that He is the One having been appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets bear witness that everyone believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name” (Acts 10:39-43).
The full implications of this included the reality that Gentiles received salvation in the same manner as the Jews:
“Of Peter still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those hearing the word. And the believers from the circumcision, as many as had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit has been poured out even upon the Gentiles. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to withhold the water to baptize these who have received the Holy Spirit, just as we also have?”” (Acts 10:44-47).
After Peter shared with “the apostles and the brothers” (cf. Acts 11:1) about his preaching to the Gentiles about Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection, they responded thusly: “And having heard these things, they were silent and glorified God, saying, “Then indeed God has given also to the Gentiles repentance unto life” (Acts 11:18).
More about what Peter had been privileged to reveal followed in Acts 15:7-9: “And much discussion having taken place, Peter having risen up, said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that from the early days God chose among you for the Gentiles to hear by my mouth the word of the gospel, and to believe. And the heart-knowing God bore witness to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, as also to us. And He made no distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by the faith.
James further noted in Acts 15:14 that “Simeon has related how God first visited to take out of the Gentiles a people for His name.” And of course, Paul and Barnabas were among those “apostles and the elders, brothers” (cf. Acts 15:23) who heard this and had “come with one accord” (cf. Acts 15:25).
“The full implications of this included the reality that Gentiles received salvation in the same manner as the Jews:”
Words mean things. Peter did not preach what Paul preached.
Galatians 1:6 ¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 ¶ For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Peter did not even know what he was doing there with Cornelius, or what as going on because they received the Spirit before water baptism, when water baptism WAS A REQUIREMENT!
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Acts 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
1 Corinthians 1:17 ¶ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, ONE baptism,

Who Runs The World? Blackrock and Vanguard
By Bill Sardi
April 21, 2021
“….“The smaller investors are owned by larger investors. Those are owned by even bigger investors. The visible top of this pyramid shows only two companies whose names we have often seen…They are Vanguard and BlackRock. The power of these two companies is beyond your imagination. Not only do they own a large part of the stocks of nearly all big companies but also the stocks of the investors in those companies. This gives them a complete monopoly.
A Bloomberg report states that both these companies in the year 2028, together will have investments in the amount of 20 trillion dollars. That means that they will own almost everything.
Bloomberg calls BlackRock “The fourth branch of government”, because it’s the only private agency that closely works with the central banks. BlackRock lends money to the central bank but it’s also the advisor. It also develops the software the central bank uses. Many BlackRock employees were in the White House with Bush and Obama. Its CEO. Larry Fink can count on a warm welcome from leaders and politicians. Not so strange, if you know that he is the front man of the ruling company but Larry Fink does not pull the strings himself….”

Eros Baric is a Slovenian classical guitarist of great talent. A couple of years ago he recorded a fine album called “Midnight” in which he performed some of his favorite pieces adapted for classical guitar. I just came across his work on this album and decided to upload a few of the pieces that I particularly like.
If you link to his site on Youtube you can downloard this album for about 8 euros. On his site, however, he mentions that purchasing a CD is quite expensive since the shipping costs are about the same or more than the cost of the DC. Obviously, it make more sense to just download his music and burn it onto you own discs.
Enjoy, Treepers . . .
Good morning all.
Just walked in the door at 00:20.
I did the same run up on the NW side of Chicago that I did last week.
Batavia
Two stops in Elgin
Last stop in Northbrook.
On the way up I hit rain then heavy wet blowing snow just north of Lafayette, IN. I actually drove out of the snow before I got on I-94/I-80. And by the time I was heading up north on the west side it was just cloudy skies.
When I finished the last stop the trailer was full to the tailgate. If the last stop had not had some small skids (standard if 4′ x 4′) they would not have been able to get all their freight on.
On the way back from about 30 miles north of Lafayette there was snow on the ground. The then at the 119 MM came upon a back up for an accident. Sat for 25 minutes. Right after that it started snowing. And it snowed all the rest of the way home.
The roads were fine but lots of drivers were backing off. Not me! Hammer down, there was spray coming off the tires and no white on the road except a little on the overpasses, so go baby go. Passed one heck of a lot of vehicles.
After turning in the paperwork and dropping the trailer in the assigned door I drove to where my pickup truck was parked and started it so it would warm up while I fueled and did my post trip on the big truck.
Despite that I had to use my scrapper and brush to clear the glass and the hood of my pickup of snow. Well over 2″ of heavy wet snow on the hood of my pickup.
And so here I am at home and it looks like a winter wonder land out there because that heavy wet snow sticks to the branches of the trees and covers the bushes.
I at a pot pie for dinner since I hadn’t had a decent thing to eat all day and now it is time for me to hit the sack! I would not be surprised if they call me before noon tomorrow. All I can say is that it better not be to do the same run I did today. That would suck!
Rah,
I enjoy your posts, so wordy. Is that a word, wordy?
Anyhow, thanks.
Past my bedtime, good night.
Watch out for the Navajo Express drivers….at least according to one of my YouTube faves, “Riding Shotgun”. Yep….I watch the truckers at night when I’m looking to wind down. 😉
Kinda mesmerizing. Love being on the road.
That stuff happens all the time. I have had them come in a lot closer than that! Three feet!
The majority of trucks are governed and then there the variables of the loads, gearing, and power. It is the lack of proper upbringing to be considerate of others. And so some driver has got you by 1/4 of a mph they determine they’re going to use it and traffic and others be damned. Like I said it happens all the time.
As for Navajo or any company. There was a time when one could be kind of bigoted and classify all drivers at a company as a risk. But those days went away with the advent of CSA scores. The reality is that if a company hires lots of unsafe drivers they are going to have more violations and accidents and their CSA score will skyrocket. Then if the DOT doesn’t shut them down the insurance industry will by refusing to insure them.
Right now the company I drive is in the green for all categories in the CSA. What that means is we are far more likely to get a bypass at weigh stations and far less likely to be pulled into a chicken coup or pulled over for a DOT inspection.
That being said the fact is that the trucking industry is way short of drivers. Companies are desperate for warm bodies to fill the seats. So there are lots of new drivers out there and some should not be behind the wheel. It’ll catch up to them sooner or later. The question is how bad will the accident be that ends their time behind the wheel? This is why the dash cams with monitoring services are great! Lots of unsafe acts exposed and repeat offenders fired BEFORE they kill or hurt someone. But there are companies who have not yet seen the light.
My dad was a travelng salesman (TX, NM, AZ). He loved the road. Taught us respect for truckers and keeping traffic movin.
When a big rig passed us on our left, dad quickly blinked the headlights when the truck had enuf room to safely enter our lane in front.
Us kids would anxiously wait for the truckers’ acknowledgements. Always a thank you!
I did that recently when a big one needed to quickly get in my lane. Got my thank you!
Used to get the light flash on the 2nd trailer while pulling triples, still appreciated
the courtesy.
?
Just imagine driving for Navajo in 1952, Bubble nose International, sleeper behind the engine
running from LA to Albuquerque. Winter not so bad but summer . 😉
Did a stink a few years back with the Fritz Co., before it was bought out by UPS; working some of the time behind a desk and the rest on the floor (never could quite get the knack of picking up a penny with a fork lift). Found the drivers and warehouse workers to be quite well grounded (and intelligent) … more so than the desk jockeys. Anyways, even among the drivers, their skill sets varied considerably. The local or city drivers would pull up, get their assigned door, and back to the dock in one smooth single move, then drop the trailer. The OTR drivers more often than not had to make several attempts at backing the trailer up to the dock before they got it right. All in the experience … the city driver might drop several trailers a day, while the OTR drivers might drive several days before dropping his trailer.
Your local drivers and dedicated drivers are hitting the same docks over and over again. OTR drivers are going lots of places they have never been before and hitting different docks all the time.
Local drivers and dedicated drivers spend more time hitting docks and parking trailers than OTR drivers and drive the same routes and bump the same docks over and over and over again. It is what local drivers do. While OTR drivers have to navigate to different places all the time and bump docks they aren’t familiar with.
Also OTR drivers will always be driving trucks with sleepers that have a longer wheel base and always have at least 3 axles. Local drivers use day cabs with no sleeper and a shorter wheel base and thus have a tighter turning radius and even a back window. Many drive day cabs with only two axles which have an even shorter turning radius. Big difference in the capability to maneuver in tight places and the having the ability to back into tight spots.
Some of the larger trucking companies have drop yards outside of big cities, especially those cities on the east coast with their older and smaller street layouts and many restricted roads and many underpasses without adequate clearance. The OTR driver drops the load at the yard and a local driver using a day cab that is familiar with the cite delivers it to it’s final destination in the city.
I often check out a new place I am going to using the google maps satellite view. The address given for a facility is the mailing address and more often than not the truck entrance is not even on the same street.
Nice venue!
Love seeing us able to do this again, and privately to boot!

Answer: “Global Warming”!
Fact is that weather events like this is exactly why the scammers changed the name from “Global Warming” to “Climate Change”.
Germany is so far having the coldest and 2nd snowiest April it has seen since the late 1800’s. The media has been pretty much mum on the record breaking cold most of Europe has experienced this spring. It does not fit the narrative.
And climate change still wasn’t selling, so they tried other tags to see what worked … climate chaos … climate disruption … and one of the latest, extreme weather. That’s a real red flag, when they keep changing the name or description of the product to try to get it to sell. People aren’t idiots when they see with their own eyes that nothing’s gone bad, they don’t buy the “new and improved” product, when it’s always the same old … well, you know … sos.
Surveys indicate that most people pay it lip service but don’t really worry about it and refuse to change their lifestyle in any way.
But never the less the level of propaganda has been rising in both volume and stridency of tone. With the democrats in power in the US the UN sees it’s opportunity to seize more power in it’s never ending quest to become the global government as do the mega multinational corporations which want the same.

NOW DON’T HURT THE LORD!
“Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip?” John xiv. 9
Our Lord must be repeatedly astounded at us – astounded at how un-simple we are. It is opinions of our own which make us stupid, when we are simple we are never stupid, we discern all the time. Philip expected the revelation of a tremendous mystery, but not in the One Whom he knew. The mystery of God is not in what is going to be, it is now; we look for it presently, in some cataclysmic event. We have no reluctance in obeying Jesus, but it is probable that we are hurting Him by the questions we ask. “Lord, show us the Father.” His answer comes straight back – “There He is, always here or nowhere.” We look for God to manifest Himself to His children: God only manifest Himself IN His children. Other people see the manifestation, the child of God does not. We want to be conscious of God; we cannot be conscious of our consciousness and remain sane. If we are asking God to give us experiences, or if conscious experience is in the road, we hurt the Lord. The very questions we ask hurt Jesus because they are not the questions of a child.
“Let not your heart be troubled” – then am I hurting Jesus by allowing my heart to be troubled? If I believe the character of Jesus, am I living up to my belief? Am I allowing anything to perturb my heart, any morbid questions to come in? I have to get to the implicit relationship that takes everything as it comes from Him. God never guides presently, but always now. Realize that the Lord is here NOW, and the emancipation is immediate.

April 21st Devotional
Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XXXV – The Resurrection
35:1
“Behold and wonder, ye inhabitants of paradise,” said a mighty angel as he descended and stood upon the tomb. “Yea, behold, as the Son of Man cometh from the abode of desolation, lo! he cometh a conqueror from the regions of the dead.”
While he yet spake, Jesus, even the Incarnate Spirit, the Spirit of Redemption, appeared walking among the tombs. And as he looked over them, he said, “Here sleep the bodies of my people. Long and dreary hath been the night of your slumbers, and cold the couch on which ye have reposed. Massive walls, enclosing this vast arena, have guarded and confined you while ye have slept. Precious dust thou art, since thou hast been the dwelling of spirits I redeem. Thou shalt arise. This darkness which hath so long shrouded thy abode in night, adding gloom to gloom, shall be dispersed by the light of life. Lo, I come to illumine this dark and solitary vault, this charnel-house of the dead, -to determine the limits of death and the grave, and to open a door of escape. Sleep on, ye sacred relics. Dust of my people. Sleep on until thou art animated by the quickening, purifying, and exalting principle of eternal law. Sleep on until life from on high shall redeem and spiritualize these properties of nature; and prepare the atoms of the sphere of rudimental life for the immortal and incorruptible habitations of the spirit in its spiritual existence. Sleep on until that day, when thou art called from this silent slumber to spheres of life. The tomb shall be illumined. Henceforth the totality of its darkness shall be no more.”
Then lifting his eyes, he said, “Watchman from the everlasting hills, descend and enter thou this abode. Keep guard until the morning of the Resurrection, when I will bid thee arise with these ashes, which, quickened into life, refined, purified, and reorganized, shall become the outer garment of my redeemed people. That day in divine certainty surely cometh.” Then one, mighty in strength, whose garment reflected ten thousand interwoven crosses, entered the arena, from the mount of light, and addressing Jesus, said, “Lo! I come to do thy will, O God.”
The Lord then replied, “Guard thou this sepulchre where mortality slumbereth; and placing in his right hand a sceptre, upon whose burnished shaft, was engraven the image of the cross; and also in hieroglyphics, the solemn events of the trial and crucifixion, Jesus said, “With this sceptre thou shalt defend and control these dominions until Heaven calleth for thee.” The watchman answered, “Be thou my help; thy will be done evermore.”

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
Interesting actions by the CCP.
I live in northern Va but have my alarm radio set to a talk radio station in Richmond. It helps to keep an eye on what’s happening in the state capital.
The last couple of months when atmospheric changes are right there has been a more local broadcast coming in that kept talking about China. I listened closer and caught the station frequency. I did some research and found it is local to Leesburg, Va. and claiming to be out of Washington DC. Leesburg is 40 miles west of DC.
looked up the station and found this headlined for it:
WCRW 1190 AM Washington DC, News radio. Leesburg, VA, USA. 50kbps Loudoun County, Virginia,Simulcast of China Radio International.
It seams it is part of a network the uses a company called StreamThe.net to stream CCP propaganda via the internet to multiple broadcast stations throughout the U.S. including the one I discovered in Leesburg
I don’t know much about FCC rules and laws but wonder if the streaming service is a way to circumvent regulations about foreign ownership and broadcasting in the US.
That is a breathtaking find! FCC and DOJ supposedly “looking into it” for several years. Given the cozy relationship of CCP with current administration, I suspect nothing will be done.
Thx. Been a long time.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?

“The existence of the Deep State in the USA has never been more obvious than it is now. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 — not to mention the unremitting and unconcealed campaign against him ever since — has brought a welcome clarity to the ruthless machinations of the permanent government. People who had never been conspiracy theorists before have become conspiracy theorists now, because the existence of a conspiracy has never been so clear and so obvious. The creature that had previously been lurking in the shadows has come forth to snarl at us in the full light of day.
“The same may be said of the globalist conspiracy. Two recent events have made the machinations of the NWO starkly visible, as if a nighttime landscape were suddenly illuminated by two successive flashes of lightning. The first was the coronavirus “pandemic”. As soon as the global governance crowd — represented by the World Health Organization — decided that the Wuhan virus was indeed the great crisis they had been waiting for, nations all over the world fell into line at the same time, implementing the same mitigation policies and drastically curtailing the civil liberties of their citizens in the same manner. The response was uncannily uniform and immediate — even Hungary climbed on board.
“How could all that happen without some sort of coordination?
“The second obvious sign was the appearance of simultaneous Black Lives Matter protests and riots all across the globe after the death of George Floyd. Sudden uprisings in American cities could perhaps occur without coordination, given the pervasive BLM propaganda that had already enfevered the minds of leftists and persons of color. But Sweden? Ireland? Scotland? Finland? When rioters started smashing and looting and pulling down statues in England, their modus operandi was identical to that of mobs in Minnesota, Seattle, Portland, and other American cities.”

“Once you’re ready spiritually and physically…you’re ready. After that, it’s physical and spiritual maintenance, constant improvement and enjoying life
“For those who haven’t heard, there’s a bunch of buzz over tomorrow night’s ‘super blood moon’ and various other signs of the times as indicators that the rapture is nigh. Mormons in particular have been getting caught up in this latest panic to the point where church leadership issued a statement telling the minority who were freaking out to calm themselves down. The freak out hasn’t been limited to my Latter-day Saint peoples of course; many others are getting their panic buying on.
“There are a lot of bad things going on in the world right now that one could certainly see as signs that the end is near. I am totally with you. And convincing arguments can certainly be woven by using scripture, historical records and some good story telling.

“The KJV is pretty clear on apocalyptic predictions: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
The Holy Apostles Herodion, Agabus, Rufus, Asyncritos, Phlegon, and Hermes of the Seventy
They are among the Saints who are commemorated today, April 8th on the traditional Calendar of the Orthodox Christian Church and April 21st on the civil or commercial calendar.
The Prologue from Ochrid and the Great Collection of the Lives of the Saints (St. Dimitri of Rostov) include fuller accounts of them as handed down within the living Holy Tradition of the Church.
A shorter version of all of the Seventy is here.

WTF?
When even the Munsters had a wholesome message. 1964.

Second City Cop blogger as guest columnist at Chicago Contrarian:

Good news, if they do come back. I didn’t read them every day not being from Chicago, or even that area, but did read the regularly. It was always worth a read:
“In any event, the BIG question….is the blog coming back? And again, we can only say, “Maybe.” We want to bring it (or something similar) back so that cops have somewhere to vent and participate in a “give-and-take” conversation. We don’t want to have the site reliant on the goodwill of the tech giants who have proven since the election that they have no qualms about attacking and silencing conservative thoughts, voices and anything that disrupts the current narrative. Our security is paramount in all of our calculations, and that means no obvious trail back to our people. Anonymizers and cut-outs are of limited use in the age of big tech. We are trying though.”
Edit: If you’re not familiar with why they quit blogging, see: https://heyjackass.com/enlightening-commentary/statement-from-second-city-cop/
Interesting take away. Living here, my takeaway was that although we already are sorely understaffed in the police department, it’s going to be getting a lot worse, and soon.

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
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
