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 †

Happy Valentine’s Day, Cat. I thought this might be appropriate…
“My therapist: You need to learn to love yourself.
Me: I’m not my type.”
💓
😁
Huh?
Guess you have to be from Texas to understand it 😆
Some hard truths are the sweetest. Thanks again DD.
Mornin’ brother!
A’noon!
The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing.
Good morning, Dan. It is so hard to choose my favourite Dr Spurgeon. Impossible in fact. But this is perhaps his finest, especially for the days we find ourselves in. God is in the room with us🙏.
Your taste is exquisite, Betsy 🥰
GM and happy hearts day ❤️
Good morning, FC and Betsy and a happy heart’s day to both of y’all! ❤️❤️😍
Good morning, G! And to you, my friend💓🤗
Good Morning grandpa. Hope you and your sweetheart have grand plans today. 💕
No grand plans, FC. Maybe stick some pork chops in the oven later. 🙂
Back at the laptop so just a smiley face.
We’re celebrating that way as well. Enjoying each other’s company. We each know what we have. And appreciate one another. That’s enough.😊
I just love quiet evenings at home, a fire, soft music and thou to slow dance with. Better than any crowded venue. Best part, we can do it every night. This time, I have Garrison to thank for setting the mood. 💋
He is a definite treasure, without question😊
Thanks Dan, I’ll second Betsy, very appropriate for the times that we live in.
❤️
🙌✝️🙌
Thank you W_P!
Thank you, WP.
“And the Second is like unto it. Love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the laws and the prophets. “🙏
That’s right, Love the Lord covers the first four and love thy neighbor encompasses the rest of the 10 commandments. And then the Lord went one up for the disciples and for us, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” John 15:12 That can be a real tough one for me.
It is hard for me as well, G. I do try, and so many times fail. Sometimes I think it’s a matter of loving the sinner (which we all are) and hating the sin. In the end where would we all be if Jesus didn’t apply that to us?
👍🙌 I try Sis, I try. As our pastor says on the scale from being reprobate to perfect we are always closer to the reprobate in this life.
But as long as we are moving in the right direction…
Yes…that’s all we can do. And try, try again. Thank goodness for mercy and grace, which I never take for granted.
Mercy and grace, the heavenly hounds, always after us. Thanks be to God!
Amen.🙏

Yes, but who photo-shopped those eyes? And hey, listen guys with blue eyes, here’s a little tutorial for you. As soon as possible, train your human to put down delectable food and if you can get them to think they’re being cute and making a funny video, all the better.
No photoshop here
Beauty!!
Tutorial No 2: You may need to learn how to manipulate your humans so they give you treats. Acting “cute” is central to this task and you guys are already half way there based on your looks alone. But you’ll need more than just you looks. If you watch this short educational video you’ll learn the ways of those older and wiser than you.
I learned on another lovely site that today is Mutt Day, as well as Valentine’s Day. So….
“I just watched my dog chase his tail for 5 minutes and thought ‘WOW, dogs are easily entertained.’
Then I realized…I just watched my dog chase his tail for 5 minutes.”
That one I understand 💡.
😂 😂 😂 😂
GOOD!!!!😁
One of the things I greatly appreciate about the Treehouse is that many commenters present differing viewpoints, outright disagreements, and even mild rebukes with grace and humor. It is delightful and instructive to see such civil and spirited discourse.
Your post reveals you are a very mean, intolerant racist.
Sarc
Just kidding
JUST KIDDING!
Good morning, Frank. Leave it to you😂
😂
Based on current popular definition, guilty as charged.😁🤣
So true, Precious. One of the last bastions of civility, if not THE last. Bless you.
The Last Refuge of civility and reasoned discourse… to say the least….
Yes sir. I really do feel like that.

Here’s some excellent from Solera Flamenco, a shop in Barcelona that specialized in first quality flamenco guitars. One of the great traditions in Spanish flamenco and classical guitar music happens every Saturday. This is a time when the guitar players begin visiting the guitar shops to sample the new guitars. If you’re in Madrid, Barcelona, Grenada or another large Spanish city, the local guitars shop become magnets for players great and small who want to sample the guitars. If you visit these shops on the weekend, especially during the morning, you are quite likely to hear some very famous guitars who are having a great time and playing for free. 🙂
One More. This is an old favorite . . . What I love about this is how the spirit of duende emerges and brings all of the participants together as the music just seems to flow around them. So. Are they aware of the spirit of duende entering their music? Of course they are. Flamencos will tell you that duende is plainly felt by every performer as the music simply immerses itself in the music and provides a unique unity to the performers.
Sadly, the performance I wanted to link to doesn’t appear. I’ll try again.
Got times out. The performance I wanted to include wouldn’t transfer for some reason. I’ll try to get it up later.
Garrison, if you type the name or some key words, we can search for it at YT.
Love guitar music Garrison, thanks. Do you know of Rodrigo and Gabriela?
(Hand up) I do! I do!!
And Guiliani…some of the most delightful guitar works ever written.
Pretty spectacular, Bananas, although the flamenco musicians I posted would undoubtedly turn their noses up when they saw Rodrigo playing this a pick. Flamencos tend to be very catholic (small “c” intended) about their music and playing flamenco style with a pick will get heaps of criticism. Of course for everybody on the outside of the music the fuss doesn’t make all that much sense. Flamenco players, Spanish and non-Spanish alike, just tend to be very persnickety about not playing “en compas”. 🙂
That first video is amazing!!!! This genre of music is so mysterious to me. It’s like listening to someone speak in a language I don’t understand, and yet I can’t stop listening and loving what I’m hearing anyway!… Here’s a little something to add to your musical offering tonight.
Sarah, you might like to watch the movie “Flamenco” directed by Carlos Saura. It’s a great film with opening scenes very like what we’re watching here.
Thank you for that recommendation. Will check it out.
Good morning, Garrison. You taught me the word duende in a post many months ago, long before I started commenting. As a lover of all types of music, I’m so glad to have it to describe that indescribable feeling I get when I hear anything that reaches into the whole of me and turns me inside out. But I had forgotten it. Thank you for repeating it and for the stunning examples that make the definition so clear.💓B
Two border collie herding videos.
The first one is visually amazing, though the snarky voice in me couldn’t resist thinking it was like watching throngs of leftists on the move.
The second video is one border collie herding ducklings to a small patch of water. I could watch this all day. I love the whistles that direct the dog as to what to do and the intensity of the dog is a sight to behold. As a bonus, of course, the ducklings are adorable.
In Aussie collies are only used in certain country, good dogs but their coat is prone to all sorts of bugs and whistles, grass seeds ect, mostly kelpie or heeler, are the best.
Obedient, smart, loyal if you treat em right, and love to work.
A well trained working dog is worth about ten grand, I have heard of some going for 20, consider that a good dog will do the work of four men the money means nothing.
Best dog I ever had was a red/blue healer bitch, mum was red dad was blue.
That dog would of died for me, talk about mungrels best freind !
Good Valentine’s Day to you, M. You are ours for sure💓🤗.
Good morning mate, handed off the nipper to his mama last night. Maybe next time you can teach him some more Aussie speak. He took to it like duck to water. I don’t mind learning myself, either.
Cheers
There’s nothing quite like a child’s enthusiasm for new experiences which truly grab their attention. You can see it in their faces. I think Mungrel’s generous suggestion has lit a spark with your nipper. Simply brilliant!
So Mungrel…just watched a brief video of a man announcing that a video of a man and his sister saying they were involved in drug trafficking with Morrison has been shown to the police at the ACT.
Had you heard heard this? Any truth do you think?
Good morning, Sarah. SO GLAD to see you post that gorgeous animal herding the ducklings, as I saw it yesterday and hoped at some point someone here would post it. Fancy!!!
In my old Welsh home, in August every year, Sheepdog Trials are held on a massive private estate called the Vivod. I haven’t looked on the internet to see if there is a link to them but will do so in a moment.
I’ve never been sure if one group of sheep are used for the whole of the 2 day trials, but if so, they’d certainly be fit after because the numbers of entrants are astounding. Winning that for those who compete is an indescribable accolade.
As a point of interest, on that estate there is a Neolithic Bronze Age cairn, 60 feet in diameter and 3 feet high, a burial/ memorial site. And I’m ashamed to admit that for the decades I lived there, I did not know that!
Good dogs! 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day Johnny Boy! 😉
This day in 1945, in fact during the hours that I write this, the RAF bomber command was hitting Dresden.
Only the raids where the atomic bombs were dropped are perhaps more controversial than what started in the early morning hours on this date in 1945.
The RAF bomber command sent 772 heavy bombers in two waves. The first bombers knocked out the water works for the city there by making it impossible to effectively fight the fires started by the incendiaries dropped. Being a city with many wood framed buildings it was a prime target for incendiary munitions.
The city had only seen a couple of smaller raids up to this time and those were USAF daylight attacks that concentrated on the RR Marshalling yard.
It was full of refugees that were fleeing the Russian advance and others, like the wives and families of various German high commanders and Nazi officials that had fled Berlin and other cities that had been repeatedly bombed in prior raids. It was thought that the Allies would spare the ancient city known for its history, architectural beauty, and having relatively little in the way of military infrastructure or production facilities and thus a natural place to seek refuge at a time when the enemy armies were flowing into Germany from both east and west.
There were probably over 100,000 refugees in the city in addition to its normal war time population.
But the Russians asked that it be bombed, believing it’s RR yards and road net to be the primary avenues through which the German military was funneling what limited military assets they still had to their front in that area. And the Allies agreed to do it. “Bomber” Harris needed little excuse to carry out such a raid. It fit precisely his strategy of area bombing the great German cities to demoralize the German populace.
However, by this point in the war the German populace and their military was already about as demoralized as they could be. There were still the fanatics of course, but the numbers of those were quickly being thinned out.
What little remained of the Luftwaffe was for the most part hiding their aircraft in woods and flying from roadways since the majority of their airfields had become untenable. And the Luftwaffe could not put up the majority of the limited number of aircraft it had due to lack of fuel.
I will not get into the many graphic descriptions of the casualties except to say that just like in the case of the fire bombings against Japan, many bomb shelters turned out to be death traps as their occupants were either asphyxiated or roasted alive or both. Total number killed was about 25,000 though the true number will never be known. They were still finding bodies from the raid in 1966.
A great controversy sprang up after this raid forcing Churchill to defend what had been done. But to this day many think that this raid was more an act of mass murder than of war. The arguments go on to this day.
I personally do not see it that way. When nations are locked in a death grip it is what one should expect to happen. The very same people that condemn the raid are the same that give arguments like “if it just saves one’s child’s life it is worth it” when they demand sacrifices from an electorate. Well, I am sure that raid saved more than one allied soldiers life.
Well I for one dissagee.
Dresden was a designated hospital city of no strategic value whatsoever.
Mainly full of woman children and elderly that had fled to the safety of the historical city.
Nearly all of the German causulties were so bad they were either dying on the spot or didn’t have long to live anyway.
Lack of all survival substances medical , food,ect, with the exception of water led the civilian population to actually get rid of any German soldiers left that didn’t go when orders, red cross flags were plastered all over the place for a city that was waiting to surrender.
War pig Churchill wanted another political point.
At the time the MIC had a contract to re-supply the Air Force with incenderary bombs at the depletion of those in the allied armory.
As far as I and many others are concerned the bombing of Dresdon was nothing more than mass murder of innocent people on the orders of the control pigs that are still running the show today.
Did you know that Churchill was actually a Fabian socialist !
Well, I knew U.S. Army soldiers who went into hitler’s death camps at about the same time, where the germans were daily still killing innocent citizens by the 10s of thousands.
If there is any compassion left in 1945, let’s give it to the victims of hiltler, not his supporters.
Just as with the japs, hitler’s terms from the allies was unconditional surrender.
They started the war, we finished it.
Many of us lost relatives as KIAs in WWII bringing an end to the slaughter by hitler and his henchmen and supporters. Thank God for their sacrifice and may they RIP.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
Bad Tolz Germany was designated a “hospital city” also and had a huge SS Officers training school complete with underground motor pool less than a mile from the nearest of the eight hospitals in that village. That facility was targeted for bombing by the 8th Air Force three times. Each time it was weathered out and thus it survived.
And so the facility was saved and since it was SS it, and any other such installations, were kept as a possession of the Allies as per the treaty. And so I spent three years stationed there.
While posted there I visited the nearby preserved concentration camp at Dachau and learned that one of its several sub camps had been set up near Bad Tolz specifically to service those hospitals and the SS school with slave labor.
There I met a German who had served in the Africa Corp and been wounded so severely he never left Bad Tolz afterwards. He was working as an orderly in our mess. Patton had hired him when he had the command of the southern Occupation forces. He retired 6 months after I arrived.
I also met a German that was head bartender at the NCO club. He had been a boy during the war. The SS had broken both of his legs when he failed to give the salute when they marched downtown in the village.
As for you claim about Churchill wanting to maximize the expenditures to the war industries? Nowhere have I found any evidence to back that claim and it does not make a lick of sense to me. Churchill wanted to preserve what was left of the British Empire. Britian was deeply in debt and had nearly run out Capitol in the first half of 1941. Most likely would not have survived if not for Lend Lease from the US which was legalized in March of 1941. This AFTER FDR had already given lots of help to GB, including three ships full of weapons from the US Armories to rearm after Dunkirk and for which GB did not pay a dime.
Churchills desire to preserve what part of the Empire and British global influence he could runs completely counter to running up the national debt. Nope! That claim does not add up and requires a smoking gun to give it any credence.
While the tag “Conservative” does not mean quite the same thing in British politics as it does in US Politics, Churchill spoke out strongly against socialism. The country he relied on to supply the materials that his country and the empire so needed was capitalist.
For all the attacks I have read about that bombing, none of them mentioned it had military purpose and was at the request of the Russians. Kind of like all those people who deny Hiroshima was a military target. (While at the same time giving survival tales from the people working for the military in that place.)
On the other hand, lots of transportation targets are easy to repair. Like railroads and especially airfields. The allies were constantly harassing and destroying everything that had a military purpose that they could find. Yet as described, ways were always found to get around that.
Same too for destroying manufacturing capability. Ways were found to overcome that damage. And if anything, bombing “civilians” working to support the military only seemed to stiffen their spines, not break their moral.
But one thing that always struck me as odd was that we developed technology for “pin point” bombing then we used tactics that could only carpet bomb. And carpet bombed Germany while claiming that our pin point bombing was making a difference!
Well, FJB has demonstrated that even pin point bombing can be totally useless in the wrong hands.
They are all “the wrong hands” in this maladministration, Jim. I believe there isn’t one, including within the brass , that has any idea what they’re doing. Not a single one.
British Area Bombing was a product of the realities of war. The British learned early on their machines could not survive in day light raids. So it was night time they went and precision bombing at night was not something that could be accomplished without extensive training that would be far beyond the ability to provide and still maintain the war effort.
Even the US daylight “precision” raids were frequently not very precise at all.
Germany set the tune early on for terror raids and that is what they got back from the Brits.
It should be remembered that it was Churchill that was a major obstacle to carrying out the “City Plan” that Ike wanted in preparation for D-day invasions. His fear of French Civilian casualties caused the plan to be cut back from what Ike had wanted.
That consideration was of course political but it still shows that Churchill was not the blood thirsty war monger that some would like to paint him as these days.
Don’t forget the anguish Churchill suffered in making his decision about Coventry. And anguish it was. I expect that decision affected him the rest of his life. Depression was his constant companion. His black dog, as he described it.
The Cathedral was never rebuilt, a reminder for future generations. The new Cathedral built next to it, unfortunately, is (and I hate to say it) an eyesore. It reflects an era of inhuman architecture which followed WWII in Britain, including housing which still stands and is a paen to desolation and hopelessness which has bred the underclasses which occupy so much of their cities. It takes the soul out of me to just see those character less high rise “prisons”, never mind the idea of having to live in it.
Dr Anthony Daniels, aka Theodore Dalrymple, is a retired psychiatrist who worked in HM Prison Service. He is an erudite man, and despite being a psychiatrist, one of the sanest and most eloquent observers of the human condition to ever put pen to paper. His essays (and there are hundreds of them) written about his experiences with the British prison inmates who came from those post war architectural hellholes are gripping. As are any other articles he has penned on many subjects.

Cheers, LS…Reading now.
Thank you. Very interesting.
There is still much debate in Britain about Dresden, rah, even into this day. A terrible thing. But war is terrible.
PSA for my CTH friends – Dan Walsh wrote a book called remembering Dresden that I read recently; I’d never known about it prior. I mention it because all of his books are great stories and Christian-centered. You might like him as well. KindleUnlimited has them for free oftentimes.
Good morning to you, parichute. Thank you for the recommendation.
The book “The Bad War” is online for free.
A point I forgot to make and that is weather. Precision bombing in that era and with many weapons still to this day requires reasonably clear weather and that condition did not exist over Germany at least half the time.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

A classic Burt Bacharach tune from the ’60s. I remember it well……
DeShannon’s recording vaulted that to instant popularity – it ranked very high on both US and Canadian top 100 charts for singles (recordings).
I think Dionne Warwick also recorded it a bit later (which was surprising since I recall that she usually debuted many Bacharach tunes).
A quick woof, I must sleep of all that cake !
I’ll have plenty of barkers eggs to share !
Have a great day Feral ☺

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.
BE MY VOICE

Happy Valentine’s Day Solomon ❤️ 🥀 🌸 flower 🌺 🌻 💐 ❤️. 🙋♀️
He has been on my mind as well, Cat. While he said he would return and wasn’t gone for good, it has been since before Christmas that he said it. I do wish he’d reappear. I miss him as well.
So, wherever you are, Solomon, I pray you are all right. I know you are in God’s merciful care. We all pray that you will come back to us. You are sorely missed.🙏💓B
We are in contact via cell. 🙏
💋
It is a very powerful means of communication all right, Frank. I can’t tell you the number of times someone I haven’t seen in a long while, once I think specifically about them, shows up very soon after.
From Solomon to you and Cat
“Their comments have me in visibly shaking tears.
Mission accomplished!
They’re tearing me up in the best kind of way.
What a great Valentine Day gift of love, in spite of some misunderstanding who is who.
You guys are the greatest.
You can post my response if you want.
I love them all.

Oh WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! How happy that makes me!! Thank you, 💓 All my love, Solomon. My prayers are answered🙏. Thank you so much, G. Bless you mightily.
😌
That really has given me peace, I can’t tell you😘
I knew it would. So glad he didn’t mind me re-posting his post. He’s become a very dear and treasured brother in Christ.
Awww grandpa ❤️ 😊
Solomon is a charming character who has influenced my ways in a permanent positive fashion. He planted a seed, nurtured it and has left it to grow in a natural state.
His ability to love another without prejudice is very special to me. Most of us(me) travel thru life being misunderstood by others. Rarely does one stop to give the benefit of doubt to another, although the same will expect same from me. He did. ❤️
Never had a chance to thank him till now thru you. ☺️ please remind him to water my flowers 💐 and That I always think of him when the leaves and blades of grass blow in the wind. 💕
Thank you ❤️ Grandpa and Solomon ❤️
Here’s to hoping it was Solomon who liked this. ❤️ Fingers crossed

The following is an essay that is a must read. It’s been picked up by Brit Hume and Jordan Peterson, both of whom recommend it:
Featured Comment (Bumped) – Small Dead Animals
It’s titled, Why is the Freedom Convoy Different from Other Protests
EXCELLENT article- actually letter / essay byt eh author “Chris” who says he was recently unemployed due to not agree8ing to be injected with the clot-inducing quackcines.
The author clearly identifies the tactics, hyperbole, and less-than-honorable motives behind the political classes’ near unanimous ad hominem attack on the Freedom Convoy protest.
Recommended reading for all Treepers.
And now we have Castro fils preparing to slam the full weight of his authoritarianism on the whole of Canada. Martial law? His dream come true. We’ll see.
Thanks for the recommendation GB, other I might have skipped it.
Personally, its been a bad two year long play that some of us finally walked out of during the second act.
“Personally, its been a bad two year long play that some of us finally walked out of during the second act.”
Seriously. I don t recall ever buying a ticket in the first place……
Nor did I, GB. I saw the previews.

“Lithuania broke with diplomatic custom by agreeing that the Taiwanese office in Vilnius would bear the name Taiwan instead of Chinese Taipei, a term used by other countries to avoid offending Beijing. China considers Taiwan part of its territory with no right to diplomatic recognition.
European Union has accused Beijing of holding up goods from the Baltic country of 2.8 million and EU companies that use Lithuanian components at China’s borders in retaliation.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said this week that China was adhering to WTO rules in its dealings with Lithuania.”
Haven’t seen this much on the news but it seems to indicate the world is dividing into camps..
Good for Lithuania on this point. Bad Lithuania for enforcing the heinous grotesque and inhumane vax rules….bad as in repugnant evil bad.
Terence, for news you won’t get here (there is no other part of the world our betters would have you think than here) seek out the site GATES OF VIENNA.
There’s a morning report each day with headlines from the rest of the world including America. It is extensive, with headlines and articles from individual countries as well. An invaluable resource for me and for anyone who is interested on significant events…of which one is the link you provided. It is hugely important.
Agree Betsy. I’ve found it a most unbiased, informative, accurate news source. It’s really a blessing it is still in existence ❤️
Truth, Cat. News one won’t get here that’s for certain. There’s no currency in ignorance of other countries in this shrunken world.
Now I feel guilty for contents of my pantry.
Personally I look at it like this, I have food to feed the hungry and I’m leaving morsels for another to eat after I’m gone. That’s why I stocked up. ❤️ 😉
You are such a good cat, Cat.🤗
I thought exactly that as I read it!!
A fire fighter adopts a girl that he saved in a fire, after she lost her entire family deserves endless retweets
Oh God love them both💓.
Saw something on citizen free press that I just had to share…..Va Lt Gov Winsome Sears does it with style!

Resourceful.
And clearly well-balanced.
Like Melania Trump.
It takes a special skill to maneuver gracefully in shoes that high…
She is wonderful.
What a fabulous woman she is! So glad you posted it. She really is a prize. I suspect the next governor of Virginia if she keeps this up.
Amen!
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Thank you for adding Pastor Pawlowski. 🙏💓

Currently in Paragould, AR.
My last uncle on my mothers side passed away Friday.
IF things go as planned I should make it home in plenty of time to make the showing tomorrow and pay my respects.
We have always been a close family. Now only one of my mothers 6 siblings remains. Been over three years since Mom passed.
They were all great people and I was lucky to know them all.
Condolences rah. Prayers for your family and for safe and clear roads for you.
Memory Eternal, Rah, for your uncle.
I am so sorry, rah. It’s hard watching those we love depart. God’s comfort be with you all I pray🙏
Rah,
did you see this?
