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 †

It’s pretty hard to mess up the spelling of “Santa”. I can see Satna or Snata. But getting the “n” misplaced all the way to the end of the word? No. That was deliberate.
What would you expect at a …”Gnarly” (Duuuude) Christmas Crafts Faire … where all the hippie vendors selling handmade roach clips and aroma-therapy candles essentially HATE Christmas … but they cash in on it $$$$
The letter that I just snail-mailed to Walmart:
I was greatly disappointed to learn about your decision this week to boycott Twitter in order to put an end to free speech in America. I understand that your excuse was that Media Matters and ADL called Elon Musk anti-semitic. As a Jew in America who strongly supports Israel, I know that this is not true and that both Media Matters and the ADL are simply promoters of Democrat Party propaganda.
As an economics teacher, I realize that your customers are the middle-class Americans who are currently being impoverished by the policies of the Democrat Party, as is evident if you check out the fact that median household income went up under President Trump and has been going down under President Biden.
I am very pleased that there are alternative stores in our area which are not opposed to free-speech, and my wife and I will be pleased to take our business to them. So, in conclusion, your decision to boycott Twitter will not only result in your losing the market share from people like us, but will harm your customers financially. Should you soon decide to reverse course and quickly resume advertising with Twitter, let me know.

I like it. Very good.
I love all patriotic Americans, but this one is something special. It’s from 9 years ago but I will take it any time!
Thanks for these 3 good videos, David. We are so blessed that you have chosen the Treehouse to share your news with us. News that we can’t get anywhere else. So very many of us are praying for you and for Israel throughout the day, every day. God bless you and God bless Israel.
I truly appreciate this. Appreciation is an oxygen for the spirit!

How did we EVER laugh before the internet?
It’s fair question. First, I will assert that what our society considers humor itself has seriously eroded over the past 20+ years. Intellectual humor has all but disappeared, having been replaced by sophomoric and even juvenile humor.
The internet isn’t the culprit, so much as is the SMS texting applications and social media widely used in mobile devices and computers for quick messaging. Brevity has been the culprit there. No room to develop context, other than after being in a longer conversation.
So I see these comments as simply a form of texting, with use of emojis and graphic images available to add what our voice or face cannot convey….
We spoke with each other, in person. Or we watched comedy on the screen. or we heard comedic radio shows. None of these mediums left a person guessing as to the seriousness or sarcastic intent of the source – whether a live person, a person on the screen , or a person on the radio – all using vocal signs and, in film or video, facial expressions to convey the intended humor.
Good writers conveyed humor through their writing styles: P.J. Wodehouse wrote dozens of funny books that always kept the reader laughing despite the dry wit employed. Funny names, funny situations, and bumbling errors by the characters always conveyed the obvious.
The Stephanie Plum series of books by Janet Evanovich are another example of humorous storytelling that requires no codes or signals to understand the comedic inferences.
Newspapers used to carry columns by authors of funny stories using language and wit that was easily inferred as humor by a large percentage of the population. It required skill to write that way.
In all of these examples, context is most important. The humor is never presented as serious information anywhere in the story, so there’s little risk of being misinterpreted.

Matthew 23:39 KJV: For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Zechariah 12:10 (NIV)
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.”

9 year old Michael Idan joined Maccabi Tel Aviv players on the field tonight.
Michael and his sister Amalia (6) hid in a closet for 14 hours on October 7th and watched Hamas terrorists murder their parents.
Their little sister Avigail (4) was kidnapped and taken hostage to Gaza and was recently returned home after 50 days.
The players stood in solidarity with Michael and called for the immediate release of all the hostages.

Didn’t the Catholic Church learn ANYTHING about being on the wrong side of science since the 1600’s?
