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 †

In Porto Alegre (Brazil), it is raining again .. but today we had some water and we could take a more decent shower …then I decided to get some of the water in a bottle to see how was it ..
They were so proud of their young gay governor who’s “married” to a 30 something medical doctor…. 😏
Heck, our water looks like that every day here in the paradise called “Texas”!!!
Are u kidding me? 😲 That’s disgusting!
We could find bottled water but there are many people who can’t and, of course, the trucks can’t bring gas (they don’t have central gas), so they can’t even boil the water to drink..
The nurse at my sister-in-law nursing home was already saying, “this is getting to be worse than the pandemic!!”
Hope things improve
-soon.
✝️💖
Oh my… that’s very yellow, “earthy” water. So sorry to hear it, Val. Think of it as if you’re camping and bathing in a lake. Though I’m not sure I would drink that… maybe with AquaTab for purification.
Israel Update:
-Biden said that an Israeli invasion to Rafah will bring about a stop of offensive munition supplies from the US. ie. The bombs that Israel needs. A full betrayal and a backstab.
I reported on this trend earlier and said that it will get worse.
-Senator Cotton from the RNC is calling for impeachment of Biden based on the above that is done if “political motives”.
-Major Jewish organizations in the US including some who are related to donations to the DNC are coming up with statements against the Biden’s actions against Israel.
-Israeli Minister of Internal Security (over the Police and Border Police) Tweeted: “Hamas ❤️ Biden”.
He is getting heat from the Israeli left. He is more right than Bibi.
-The IDF is operating still in East Rafah. I have videos.
-The next days will be critical. The Israeli Cabinet will meet.
They will decide on what’s next. Ignoring Biden or succumbing to her pressures. Note: If it was me I would activate internal pressures in the US in direct relation to the elections. If the Democrats are publicly acting against Bibi and saying they want to get rid of him, there is no reason to avoid doing the same in the US.
Biden must lose GA, NV, and PA. (Those states have enough Jewish vote to turn it around). Also must lose many electorates in NY and CA. I know that we have an issue with Jewish vote to the DNC and some will never shift but with good organization and PR actions I am sure that no less than 50% will shift that is enough to cause him to lose the above States.
-Biden’s actions against its ally Israel is making it clear that a Treaty with the US is useless.
I expect the Saudis to keep a distance from the treaty that was promised to them by Biden. The actions of Biden are causing him to lose many Jewish votes, the Muslims will also avoid him unless he enables a terror state, a Palestinian State, in a UN vote, this is a high probability possibility at this point.
Biden is acting like “there is no God”, ie. elections above all morality.
-Increased attacks on Israel in the North. They enemies of Israel are very satisfied and emboldened following the great betrayal of Biden and their hope that the US will complete a full swing against Israel.
There is no chance of a deal with Hamas at this point, the hostages are paying for it. Unless Israel surrenders and agrees to stop the war.
I don’t think that it’s possible. It would be a political suicide of anyone who will do it. But the pressure on Bibi is extreme. Biden pushed him to a corner of a lose lose situation. But I do believe that there is a way to win anyways. Israel will do what it has to do.
In 1948 the US prevented weapon sales to Israel when it was attacked by some 6 Arab nations in the Independence War. Israel bought weapons from the Czech Republic.
Biden is making a big mistake and will lose the elections and possibly his health too.
-Unfortunately I don’t have a full concept of the Israeli munitions situation. Will we be able to survive the North and South wars if we get no munitions? How much do we actually manufacture ourselves and how much can it be increased in short term effort?
I think it’s possible, but it’s more of a feeling than data.
We do make bombs for tanks and have precision mortars that we make. If a full war breaks in the North then it’s a major problem and Bibi will do its best to delay such a war till Biden loses the elections or he has munition solutions. Israel can be suffering a major disaster if it doesn’t have what it needs in such a war. They have hundreds of thousands missiles. If Israel stays defenseless, it can lead to a nuclear solution. Israel will not just sit still when its cities and major infrastructure is being destroyed with thousands of dead civilians.
But this is a long shot and I don’t think we will get there. But we can’t attack in the North to get the situation resolved without the munitions. So time will tell where things are going.
-Hamas fires mortars at the newly built US Pier that Biden formed for the Gazans.
The place is now starting to become operational anyways.
This is a week after they fired and killed a few IDF soldiers at the crossing from Israel to Gaza where the humanitarian aide is passing. Israel had to close and Biden forced Bibi to open it despite the risk.
God Bless you.
Twenty four hours before that betrayal, Corny, he guaranteed money for Hamas. The November election and Islamic votes are the only thing that matters to this godless wretch and the ones pulling his strings.
I fear too much of the population here has no idea about the Holocaust, such is the result of downgrading or eliminating the study of modern history.
And for those younger generations who do know, I fear a shoulder shrug would be their answer.
Almighty God is watching.
Caroline Glick is a treasure. Our situation is directly attributable to the replacement of history with bs such as CRT, DEI, the acceptance of nebulous sexuality, the adoption of non-pronoun pronouns and on and on.
My children used to dread my trips to school for teacher meetings – and that was 50 years ago!
She is a treasure, sis. My parents never had to go for a teacher’s meeting because KY father advised me before I step foot outside the door that I would not like the consequences of their having to do so.
That’s the problem today, or one of them…the consequences for bad behaviour and worse have been eliminated.
Like Alfred E Neuman of Mad Magazine, the attitude today is “What? Me worry?”
And why should they?
No expectations delivers exactly what would be expected.
Ohhhhh…. .that’s not ALL they are downgrading and eliminating? I was going to try to post this last night or this morning, but this seems the perfect place to put this. They are redesigning the high school diploma starting with the class of 2029. See notable changes below…. (biology? Well, of course we don’t need that anymore. They can’t figure out the difference between a man and a woman now.)
They’ve created a MONSTER with the Department of Education.
IMPORTANT SUPERINTENDENT MESSAGE REGARDING STATE’S HIGH SCHOOL REDESIGN
Indiana High School Redesign
Background:
Indiana is currently reviewing and revising diploma requirements for high school. House Enrolled Act 1243 (Rep. Robert Behning) calls for the sunset of current Indiana high school diplomas in 2028. The Indiana Department of Education is currently seeking feedback on proposed changes to the Indiana high school diplomas as they are charged with preparing new diploma requirements by December of this year. The new diploma requirements, if/when approved, would be effective starting with the Class of 2029 (the current 7th grade class).
On March 27th, the Indiana Secretary of Education presented the proposed diploma requirements to the Indiana State Board of Education. For those interested, the full recording can be found here, and the presentation specific to diploma adjustments begins around 55:28. Below is a summary of the proposed changes being presented. Also included is links to the feedback form as the Indiana Department of Education is currently seeking comments/questions during the public comment period to help shape the future of Indiana high school diplomas. We do not have a deadline for the public comment period, but we believe it may close in the next few weeks.
Proposed Indiana Diplomas:
The three pillars for the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) are Employment, Enlistment, and Enrollment into institutions of higher education. In 2020, the Department generated a Portrait of a Graduate for Indiana students which emphasized the following areas: Academic Mastery, Career & Postsecondary Readiness, Communication & Collaboration, Work Ethic, and Civic, Financial & Digital Literacy. The Department recently launched a new dashboard for Indiana residents known as the Graduates Prepared to Succeed (GPS) dashboard. The GPS dashboard currently provides metrics on a range of student and school outcomes such as attendance, literacy achievement, and more.
In response to HEA 1243, the Indiana Department of Education is proposing that Indiana offer two diplomas beginning with the Class of 2029:
What is the proposed GPS Diploma? How is this different from the Core40 Diploma now?
The current Indiana Core40 Diploma requires students earn 40 credits to be considered as a candidate for graduation. The proposed GPS Diploma, in current form, requires 20 credits in required courses, and an additional 20 “points” which can be obtained via other course work, experiences, etc. The table below highlights what is required by content area.
Content Area
Notes on proposed GPS Diploma required credits
Math
Algebra I is the only required math course.
Three years of math are required.
Science
Biology is no longer required.
4 credits required (example: Chemistry & Earth/Space Science)
Social Studies
US History and Government are required.
Economics, World History, Geography are not required.
English
English 9 is the only required course.
Four years in this content area are required.
World Language
Not required for new proposed diploma.
Visual Arts
Not required for new proposed diploma.
Performing Arts
Not required for new proposed diploma.
Physical Education/Health
Not required for new proposed diploma.
Computer Science
Course required for all students.
Personal Finance
Course required for all students.
Preparing for College & Careers
Course required for all students.
IDOE recommends offering this course in middle school.
In addition to the required 20 credits, the proposed GPS diploma would require 20 points that can be obtained via other course work, experiences, etc. There is flexibility for students to demonstrate competencies with a wide range of options, which could include work experience in the community.
What is the GPS Plus Diploma?
The second proposed diploma is called GPS Plus. This is not to be confused with the Indiana Academic Honors Diploma, or the Indiana Technical Honors Diploma. Those two options do not currently exist under the proposed changes.
The GPS Plus diploma essentially requires all of the foundational courses and competencies, and also requires that a student demonstrate employability skills by completing either a Work Based Learning experience (75 hours), a State Pre-Apprenticeship Program (650 hours), or a U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship (2,000 hours). And finally, a candidate for the GPS Plus Diploma would also need to complete a credential of value (market driven), apprenticeship, Indiana College Core (ICC), AP Scholar with Distinction, or a Cambridge or IB Diploma.
Is there a visual where I can see all of this in one place?
Yes. Thank you for reading thus far. We have several professional organizations that have been reviewing the proposed changes and providing feedback and input in recent weeks. A graphic that may help summarize what you have read today can be found here.
I feel like I need more information. How do I find more materials from the Indiana Department of Education?
If interested, current HS diploma information can be found here. Information available from the Indiana Department of Education on these proposed requirements is available here. Additionally you may view the IDOE March 27, 2024 presentation to the State Board of Education at this link.
What can parents/guardians do if they have thoughts or questions about the proposed diplomas?
The Indiana Department of Education has a created a form for individuals to share feedback and questions. That form can be found here. The deadline has not been posted, but I anticipate that deadline to be within the next few weeks.
I encourage you to read and view the information and provide feedback to the IDOE. In my interactions with Secretary Jenner and her team, as well as legislators, I have experienced a true listening ear. They do value the input of not only school personnel but everyone in this journey.
No matter the direction the state takes regarding high school graduation requirements, we will help our families navigate the process. It will be more important than ever that parents stay engaged in the course selections of your students. I encourage you to stay tuned in to this topic in the coming weeks and months. As requirements change, our administration will provide communication.
If you have read this far, thank you! There is a lot here, but there is a lot at stake.
To summarize: Thank you teachers! And we are all teachers. Stay informed.
Please reach out with your thoughts or questions.
I see one course there, Woo, that I am applauding wildly, and that is Personal Finance. That one I have been advocating for FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!
I don’t know how many of these graduates will go on to university, but as it gets more and more expensive, my bet that community colleges and trade schools are going to gather up a lot of them.
I don’t enough time to give scrutiny to it all..
BUT in general it seems they’ve got the emphasis right.
Not on their track record of “teaching” Betsy. I’ll leave financial planning to Dave Ramsey and Financial Peace University. Plus, Biology, Economics, World History, Geography are not required?
Eliminating who you are: biology
Eliminating where you live: geography
Eliminating how we direct commerce: economics
Eliminating the study of the past so we don’t repeat it: world history
Eliminating how we take physical care of ourselves: physical education and health (on a positive note… will this eliminate the weird sex education classes??? Bet not!)
They’re erasing everything. This looks like the “15 minute city” of education.
As I said, Woo, didn’t have time.to scrutinize. And while I agree with your critique, there are many kiddos who aren’t headed to college. The parts I caught were apprenticeships, skills to make a living. And I still believe personal finance courses are desirable.
I’m sure adjustments will be made.
Understood Betsy… sadly, I have no faith in their “adjustments”. I’ve seen too much politics at a local level. Boy, when Obammie said Hopium and Change – he really meant “change”.
For President Trump to “fix” all this – it’ll be like playing whack-a-mole.
I know, dear sis… there are times when the Augean Stables seem to be to full and too difficult to cleanse. One shovelful at a time is all we can do. With His help may we get it done. Our children and theirs after are are the targets, as they have been since the indoctrinationists slithered their way in since the 60s. A long road ahead…😘
Woo, darlin. . . Pay careful attention to changes which involve Savannah. Look up ADA “reasonable accommodations” There’s a lot of absorb here, love.
I was thinking ‘didchyna had any input on this.’
Sadly, China puts their children’s education as a priority. Wish we would.
https://www.heritage.org/education/commentary/disastrous-fafsa-update-cautionary-tale-against-more-government-involvement
-“1. Proponents of universal preschool want that same federal government that can’t manage a website update to begin providing early childhood education.
2. The large market distortion introduced by government preschool and childcare crowds out the private provision of care and limits choices for families.
3. The last thing Congress should do is repeat the disastrous mess it made in higher education in the early childhood education and care sector.”
Sigh! It’s not just Biden who’s acting like “there is no God”; sometimes I think Bibi is acting like “there is no God” as well!
Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
As for the nuclear option, I am just waiting for Israel to drop one on Damascus, which the Bible prophesies will be destroyed in one day.
Why?
Why what? Not sure what you’re asking
Why I think Bibi is acting as if there is no God? Because he seems to depend more on the U.S. supplying Israel with weapons rather than relying on God.Why Damascus might be taken out by a nuclear weapon? I don’t know IF it will be or why. All I know is what the prophecy says. Since it hasn’t been fulfilled yet, it’s going to happen sooner or later.
Isaiah 17
❤️ ☀️ 🇮🇱 David: Shabbat Shalom. I’m so glad to see you here.
Are you heartbroken and angry? I am.
Israelis love God and humanity with all their hearts and souls.
That includes Bibi.
The words “heart” and “soul” are in the Israeli National Anthem.
God is spoken and sung about in many Israeli songs and War ballads.
Did you have a chance to watch Dr Phil’s interview of Bibi yesterday, May 9?
I found it uplifting; like Bibi is still standing strong and determined to quickly finish Hamas in Rafah.
🙏 🇮🇱 ☀️ God Bless you, David, and your Wife and Family and Friends, and all Israelis including her Leaders and the Hostages, with deep comfort, courage, love, quick success, access to all needed munitions, increased weapons manufacturing capability, humor, and answers to all your prayers.
Amen 💪 😊 🇮🇱 ❤️
Thank you. Yes. It’s hard to follow the injustice.
I will watch the interview. Thanks for mentioning.
☀️🎶🇮🇱 Here it is, David.
You are most welcome.
I’m truly honored to assist you, my friend!
🙏 🇮🇱 🎶
Maybe Israel needs to reconsider the decision to guard the temporary pier for the US.
Then Biden would be stuck trying to get Congressional approval to have
“boots on the ground” to fight off the missiles that are being thrown at them
from Hamas 😛
Source: Biden’s Bomb ‘Pause’ Will Cause Israeli Soldiers to Die in Booby-trapped Buildings
Military Source: Biden’s Bomb ‘Pause’ Will Get More Israeli Soldiers Killed
Fears: Death by Booby-trapped Buildings
’Tunnels rigged in a manner we have not yet encountered’
President Joe Biden’s decision to withhold bombs from Israel will cause more Israeli soldiers to die in booby-trapped buildings that would otherwise have been destroyed from the air, according to a military source in Israel.
As Breitbart News reported, the Biden administration … withheld 2,500-lb. and 500-lb. bombs, and would also withhold artillery rounds, in opposition to Israel’s decision to attack Hamas’s last stronghold in Rafah.
Israel, which views the defeat of Hamas in Rafah as a military necessity, has decided to continue its operation. But in order to avoid antagonizing Biden, or running out of bombs, Israel will have to send soldiers directly into buildings.
“Everything is rigged to blow [in Rafah],” a military source said. “We are being engaged in numerous buildings, and tunnels rigged in a manner we have not yet encountered. Hamas is organized, and was waiting ready for the IDF to enter Rafah.”
Hamas had plenty of time to prepare, after Biden’s opposition forced Israel to delay an operation in Rafah for three months.
Israel acted after Hamas refused to budge in hostage talks, and attacked the Keren Shalom border crossing, a key entry point for humanitarian aid. Four soldiers died in the attack and several more were wounded.
Since Monday, Israel has held the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, as well as the Philadelphi corridor road that runs along the Gaza-Egypt border. It has also undertaken limited operations against Hamas terrorists in Rafah.
On Friday evening local time, Hamas launched five rockets that reached the Israeli city of Be’er Sheva in the central Negev desert, marking the first such attack on the city in months, and underlining the need for the Rafah campaign.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) practice in Gaza has often been to identify buildings where Hamas has hidden, warn residents to leave, then bomb the buildings. Dozens of soldiers died earlier in the war in booby-trapped buildings.
IDF soldiers have engaged in more face-to-face combat in counter-terror operations in the West Bank during the war, where Hamas is not in control of the area and therefore has not operated with the same degree of freedom as in Gaza.
The IDF is prepared for a slow, methodical campaign in Rafah. But that also means Israel will have to accept a higher number of military casualties than it otherwise would have.
And it means many Israelis are angry at President Biden.

PROPHETIC WORD:
. . . . . . . A TRUMP CARD IS ABOUT TO BE PLAYED . . . JGM, 05-09-24
Dear Representatives of Jesus Christ! I can’t imagine going through these times without these words from the Lord. He obviously knows we need it, which is why He is giving them.
Dear Lord, we ask Your special blessing upon Julie, her family, and ministry team, as well as all of Your trusted prophets. Bless them in ways money can’t buy. Reward them for their faithfulness to You. Bless all who are receiving, responding, and acting upon your spoken words as well as Your Written Word.
Father, we come now in agreement, in JESUS Mighty Name, as we respond to this word You have given. How we THANK YOU for it. THANK YOU for the kindness and love You show us by gently telling us what the enemy plans to do, and what You will do.
Heavenly Father, we come in agreement with every word you have spoken and we now DECLARE, in JESUS Name:
– THE ENEMY IS A FOREVER LOSER!
– OUR GOD IS A FOREVER WINNER !
– We will trust in the LORD our God no matter what the enemy throws at us, no matter how they try to trick or deceive us, no matter what things look like.
– Our enemies’ planned sabotage, chaos, and protests at our college campuses is backfiring, and not accomplishing what they had desired.
– It’s also exposing that these were all planned, and who’s paying for them across this country.
– These are the Days of Haman. These riots and uprisings will soon be a nightmare for the ones who’ve designed them.
– Our enemies are turning on one another, and NOTHING WILL STOP THIS DESTRUCTION THAT IS COMING, THE DIVISION THAT IS COMING, THE CONFUSION THAT IS COMING.
– NOTHING WILL STOP THEIR ANNIHILATION, BECAUSE NO ONE WILL STOP ALMIGHTY GOD.
– More riots are on the horizon, but IT WILL TURN ON THEM.
– The ones The Establishment and leaders have paid for, are now demanding more, and are not getting what they want, so they are turning on The Establishment that brought them here and funded this unrest.
JGM – A TIME OF UNCERTAINTY HAS BEGUN – [10 May 2024] [Heard – 9 May, 2024]
A Time of Uncertainty has begun. It will appear like things are going in the wrong direction and some people will not know which way to turn and what to believe if they do not have a FIRM FOCUSED FOUNDATION ON MY WORD.
It’s time to KNOW MY WORD, MY WILL AND THE TRUTH. My children I am pouring out TRUTH. Some will receive it. Some will not believe it. Which side are you on? Faith or Fear? Believing a truth or believing a lie.
TRAITORS in your midst will be exposed. MURDERERS in your midst will be exposed. LIARS and THIEVES…these SUPPOSED LEADERS will be answering for their crimes in front of the world just as Pharaoh answered for his in front of My people. The darkness they wanted to bring to this earth will consume themselves and not you. I AM the One protecting you and I will NEVER FAIL saith the Lord of Hosts.
NANOTECHNOLOGY is far worse than people are realizing right now. I will show you the manipulating, the damage, the control, the bondage it was to bring and I will show you who all was bringing it against you.
POISON…yes they have been poisoning the masses, the majority of the population in this nation. Why you may ask? For total surrender. For a total takeover. For total annihilation, a depopulation and a destruction of the foundation of your nation which is Me. They’ve tried to cripple this nation in more ways than one and I’m going to expose them and to show you every way they tried to accomplish this plan.
The FDA has been against you. BIG PHARMA has been against you. Your government has been against you. Corporate America has been against you. Religious leaders have been against you. Your courts have been against you. Foreign nations have been against you and have been allowed to damage your nation in many ways. Your leaders are ravenous wolves set to kill and leave no survivors other than their own.

Dear friend, it has been my belief from the beginning that the hand of God Himself has removed the cover from all we are seeing. I shall not be budged from that belief 🙏🏻
Me this morning…don’t ask me to explain 😁
Yes. Bets,
Something about this pic reminded me of you! 😃
I was in one of those moods 😂
Now…if I can just get back up into the standing position…
Amen goes right there, Bet !!! ❤️

Israel Update:
-New news is that the War Cabinet approved deepening the ground attacks in Rafah. In a limited way.
I am reading reports that the IDF finished surrounding East Rafah and a report that they cut Rafah to two parts.
It’s hard to tell but I am sure that we are operating into it but not with full force as would be preferred.
As I said earlier. The Salami system of chopping piece by piece to avoid a major conflict with the US while moving forward slowly.
Shalom David,
I hope you have watched Mark Levin’s scathing comments on Fiden. I concur with his sentiments.
Praying you and all of Israel are protected by God.

IDF says it hit two rocket launch posts in Rafah used by Hamas to fire at Beersheba
By EMANUEL FABIAN
Today, 11:13 pm
Two Hamas rocket launch positions in southern Gaza’s Rafah, used to attack Beersheba earlier today, were struck by Israeli aircraft a short while ago, the military says.
The IDF says it identified secondary blasts after the strike, indicating additional munitions were located in the area.
Hamas launched a total of 14 rockets at Beersheba today, nine rockets from Rafah and before that another five from central Gaza.
The attack caused damage to a park in the city, and lightly wounded a woman.
I’m DYING here!!
😂 😂 😂
Ha ha, Bets
I resemble that craziness!
My favorite art classes were those concerning color. I drive Lloyd nuts at the paint store!
I’m very particular also about colour, Corny…VERY!!!
My favourite paints were the British ones from Farrow & Ball. Their selection of “whites” was AMAZING!!!!
Thankfully, Sherwin Williams was able to replicate my favourite Light Stone which is on every inside wall of my house.
My artistic granddaughter has an eye like yours for colour. Her favourite classes are her art ones. She and I are so drawn to colour distinct likes and dislikes.
“Light stone” sounds really nice for an interior color. Don’t you love how colors react to a change in lighting? Even various types of light bulbs can change things pretty dramatically.
The there are the inventive names paint manufacturers use. One color in my house is “tandem bike!” What the heck does that mean?!
Yes I do!!! This one has some green in it…not much. We used it in the conservatory Chris built on our 1869 Victorian house in Wales. There wasn’t much to paint because it was all tall windows. But you just know when a colour is right. It’s one you don’t notice, therefore a perfect background which allows furniture, anything on walls etc to be noticed.
Another thing I am keen on is mirrors….lots and lots of mirrors. I have one wall in our open plan dining room I didn’t know what to do with…so I collected mirrors of different shapes and sizes, some with gorgeous beveling and arranged them covering the wall (which faces the front window) like an art exhibit. The light and the outdoors reflect in the mirrors and gives an otherwise darker than I would like atmosphere brightness…like having an actual window instead of a wall. Makes the whole place look bigger.
Brought some beauties with us from Wales. They weren’t expensive. How on earth they made it here in perfect condition I don’t know.
Tandem bike??????? You’ve got me there, girl…
🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
A friend of mine was helping paint a room for a young lady who was very poor. She told me later, “I kid you not, NO ONE could tell the difference between the walls we had painted and the ones that hadn’t been painted yet!”
LOLOLOL!!!!!
I believe you, Kudzu 😂😂😂
Oh….and bless his good heart 🙏🏻
Are there any artisans remaining today who have the vision and beauty of soul to produce such magnificence as this?
Exquisite
Honest question – has “diversity” ever produced such enduring and useful beauty?
Mandated diversity??
I doubt it.
Wow. The stone of the building as well. Gorgeous!!
Isn’t it spectacular, Patience???
I love the Twelve Apostles making an appearance… And the Four Virtues.
Awwwww
Safari’s having a swingin’ time.
Ill see your sweet lad tuere, ap…
And raise you this happy chappie 😊💕
here’s a friend for chappie 💕
1 cm octopus
Oh bless….my understanding is that octopuses have a degree of intelligence.
Dang!!!!! Why didn’t I proof before I posted???
Typing too fast….
“I’ll see your sweet lad there, annie…” it should have read.
Apologies 😬
Absolutely!!! And she’s probably a liberal 😎
😂
I wonder if I should share this with my wife!!
DD
Here, Dan. Might come in useful sometime 😎
ERROR 404 has this in his library…
He can recite it chapter and verse 😉💕
Do it, Dan!
-I showed it to my husband😳
Have courage🤣
He who dares, wins 👍🏻
Patience, I have many framed photos of our three nearest to us grands…the graduating twin lads and their 16 year old sister…from when they were small to now as the beautiful young adults they have grown into.
Many!!
But my favourite is and will always remain a black and white photograph of them (like this one) when they were 4 (the boys) and 2.
They are walking up a path in a botanical garden, and it is taken from a rear view, all holding hands with the boys either side of their sister. They were very close then and remain so today
It is beautiful, a metaphor for life’s road they are travelling together. As they fly from the nest into the unknown and we see them less, when I pray for them and think of them, this is the image which I will keep in my mind and locked in my heart 💕
It’s amazing what memories and thoughts arise from the pictures which are posted here every day. This is mine from yours….😘
Songs and pictures; especially black & white
Sound and smell
…what stories they tell
Can you imagine
if we were not so gift-ed?
We are so blessed
I prefer black and white photos, P. Its hard to explain why because I haven’t yet figured out exactly why. I think in my case it might be beecause absent colour we see the subject more intently be it a person(s) or animal, or landscape. There is no distraction of colour.
We are blessed, sweet sis.
God is good 💕🕊

True capture

Precisely 👍🏻
Oh, dear Friend
I’m betting you see more of your grands than you imagine. Some bonds cannot be broken, and yours with your grands appears especially strong.
Don’t we all have a few photos that have an essence or emotional element that touches our hearts!
Shooting our three arrows from our bow into the air…they’ll “fall to earth, I know not where.”
One going east, one going south, Corny, and one remaining. We have six other grands we never see, so these three are the ones who needed our presence the most I figure. Though there was no way to know it when we moved back from Wales and all was as it should be, the time came when it wasn’t. We were perfectly placed to be a supportive and ever present backstop.
These three, rightly, will now make their way in this world. But wherever God plants them, be it far or near, we know they are in His hands; and we are at peace knowing that when it mattered the most He graciously allowed us to be a huge influence.
They take all we’ve taught with them. Our work here is done 🤗💕
Awww, Bets
Beautifully said. We have 3 grands we don’t see and 6 that we do.
You play the “hand that’s dealt you.”
There is a plan, and we shall see how it unfolds. ❤️
That’s the only thing we can do 💕
Patience, that is so true. Everyone with whom you interact is dealing with challenges of different magnitudes. Literally everyone.

How he flipped on Israel.
😳 🤬 😳
OBiden is an evil entity.
I have no shocked face to give because I am not in any way surprised, David. He is what he always has been. A racist and an antisemite. As are the odious puppeteers who pull his strings. Had the 2020 election not turned into a coup I doubt Israel would be facing the horrors it has since October 7.
It may or may not have happened. But Israel would have finished the war by now. Biden is stopping Israel.
Also his lifting the sanctions on Iran could have been related to why it all happened .
I believe it would not have happened, dear David. President Trump remains a firm friend of Israel as he was when in office. Hamas, Iran, all your enemies knew it. I think they knew what he would unleash…and not wait 5 minutes to do so.
I know it’s complicated. It has always been complicated. But President Trump would have been standing side by side with Bibi, not behind him as O’Biden is now…with a dagger in his hand.
🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
…And all those arab nations that have been making deals with Biden are watching his actions to see how to manipulate further. One thing for sure, this admin is losing face in front of the whole world.
I couldnt even watch.
Oh, it’s easy to watch … slowcobra. He’s saying all the sentiments we WISH he was saying now.
One of those tyrannical DC courts failed to correct that frivolous Pelosi-Liz Cheney “contempt of congress” persecution of Bannon.
Does Steve Bannon have any appeals levels remaining?

This is How You Deal With Protestors LOL
😃 🎶 😅
Would’ve been funny had the guy cut in on some “palestinian “ protestors.
picking on the Jewish people was not funny. They are suffering through serious times, and the ones out on the streets with Israeli flags dont need some guy trying to be funny at their expense.
