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 †

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Those were the days.

Background and Real-Life Story
“The film is based on Greg Kohs’s acclaimed 2008 documentary of the same name. It explores how Mike and Claire—juggling everyday struggles and ordinary jobs—poured their hearts into performing classic Neil Diamond tracks. Pop icon Neil Diamond granted the production rights to use his music, mirroring his real-life connection to the couple featured in the original documentary.”

GLORY BE TO JESUS
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
— Romans 5: 8-10

The Last Days of the West
Muslims Pretending to be Socialists
…
Second, it forced-legislated into existence the welfare state. A Western citizen can now live his entire life in luxury without ever working. He just needs to learn to game the system, for which the Leftists are at hand to teach him. This has destroyed the character of the Western man. Broken families mean that children do not even develop character; therefore the next generation will no longer have proud, earning men.
This has now become a self-feeding, ever-growing loop: closure of factories pushes more people onto welfare; for them ever-greater benefits are legislated in each election cycle; that leaves no money for investment into real industries; that leads to an increase in unemployment; unemployed men become drug addicts and alcoholics; for them even more welfare programmes are needed, straining State finances even more; and so on. They can no longer raise families, forcing even more welfare programmes to be implemented.
Third, the Left welcomes into its fold Muslims pretending to be socialists. They promise and deliver, perhaps to hasten the demise of the West, even more welfare programmes. They also promote open borders and spend money on making illegal immigrants comfortable in the West. They are truly helping to destroy the West by its own ‘miserable’ hands (Quran 59.2 and Tabari vol vii page 158).
It is these Muslims pretending to be socialists in the USA who are poised to be the most successful of all jihadis.
American politics is divided right down the middle. In every election, both parties get close to 50% of the votes, and the swing of one or two percentage points decides the winner. Muslims, both politicians and voters, are mostly with the Democratic Party. They vote in a bloc, and they all vote. They will from now on make sure that only Democrats win. Democrats themselves are the party of welfare, green energy, trans rights, open borders and the regulation of industries. Muslim politicians will only encourage these programmes. This will lead to further strains on society, and the stressed people will vote even more for the Democrats. More Muslims will be brought to the USA, they will also produce more children, and with the welfare programmes the finances of the USA will be stressed even more than they are now. This will require more spending on welfare, and course correction through elections will become impossible.
Up until a decade ago, it was thought that the Europe was already too far ahead on the path to Islamisation, but the US would somehow save itself and also help save Europe in the end. But now it seems that the US will fall to Islam even before Europe. Even Muslims would not believe that in the end their taking over of the West turned out to be so easy.
God is the Holy Trinity.

Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
They was just drunk boys
They didn’t know what they did
One of ’em was married
Three of ’em had kids
River will take you
Most of us swore
Next time we got drunk
We’d just fish from shore
ohmygosh ♥️
We seen that John boat
Next day in a snag
Called up the men
And went out to drag
Quintessential America, out in the small towns
Business to be done, you “call up the men”
(they recovered 4 bodies of these inexperienced guys who went out in a small boat for midnight fishing)
This album floored me a couple years ago, I’d listen for locations mentioned and sat with Google maps looking them up to get a feel for the land this guy’s inhabiting and writing these songs from. Indiana? can’t recall without going to look it up again.
Was able to pin down the stretch of river he’s describing, it’s a major tributary to the Mississippi
He’s got a song about a nearby town that got taken over by a yogi and his followers, it’s clearly seen on the air photos … Fairfield
“One of ’em was married, three of ’em had kids”
… tells you — in a single line — a novel’s worth of character-setting, the social class they are, likely size of the small town they inhabit … that single line speaks volumes, and if it don’t make you chuckle, I’d have ’em put you up on the lift to see if they can figure out what’s wrong with ya
this guy’s deep – he’s well-recognized within certain segments of the music industry, but he ain’t Top 40
an acquired taste … if your taste runs to bourbon and smoked bacon
not my socks, mind you, but i bet this song could know those cheez ✨ it socks off too ♥️
(they belonged to the man if front of me at tjmaxx) ♥️
1972
I got an old V8 from the year I’s born
Don’t look like much, just a flat black Ford
Don’t turn no head, don’t catch no eye
Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by
Folks lined up just to dog my day
Now if I stay quiet, things get in my way

please pray for and protect the Christians in the Holy Land and the entire Levant, especially the Palestinian Christian villagers of Taybeh (formerly Biblical Ephraim) in the occupied West Bank, from the Evil One and his servants who prepare to welcome the Anti-Christ.
