Where have All The Flowers Gone?

Image
    Where have all the flowers gone? And common sense, decency, or education? Do you remember the last scene from the movie “Raiders of the Lost Arc?” The one where the warehouse worker on a forklift stuffed a crate containing the arc into storage in a huge warehouse. Right next to that crate was another one with your children, and one with the lessons from history, and one with the flowers. That’s where you’ll find your flowers.   Norman Rockwell’s timeless paintings showing Thanksgiving, little boys eying diplomas on the wall before receiving a shot or a little girl with a black eye waiting to see the principal after winning a fight are yellow with age. The children in those pictures died a long time ago and were replaced by kids sitting on a Drag Queen’s lap in a public library. And therein you see the problem. A PUBLIC library, funded by the state and blessed by Marduk!   And each time voices were raised shouting, “Foul!” a new law was passed to silence those voi...

Skinned Alive with Seashells

Image
 from Justin Vanparys Hypatia the Greek Philosopher Skinned Alive with Seashells Knowledge can be a wonderful thing, but in the case of the ancient philosopher and mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria, it also lead to her doom. Hypatia was one of the most important intellectuals of Byzantine Empire in the 4th Century, and she was also a woman. Her story is both inspiring and terrifying . Hypatia was born around 355, when the Roman empire had just split, leaving Alexandria in a disconnected state of religious and social unrest. Members of all religions - Christians, Jews, and pagans - were now living together in perpetual strife. Over the next few decades, their constant clashes would wipe out even more of the library's contents as they struggled to define their new boundaries. The Egyptian city of Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC - about 600 years before Hypatia was born. Alexandria became a culturally sophisticated region of the world in a rather short amount...

  from Carolyn Winn Robinson Did you know..... The Wizard of Oz…This is very interesting…🤔 The Straw Man represents that fictional ALL CAPS legal fiction —The PERSON. He wanted a brain but got a Certificate — The Birth Certificate. The Tin Man — The TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number). He was a robotic avatar, who worked tirelessly until his body literally froze up & stopped functioning. The heartless & emotionless robot creature who worked himself to death because he had no heart or soul. The Cowardly Lion was a bully, but was actually a true coward when someone stood up to him, like most bullies. He lacked true courage and in the end, the Wizard gave him an Official Recognition Award — Authority & Status. The Wizard of Oz used magic, smoke, flames & holograms, but all of it were tricks & illusions to push fear & compliance to make people do what he commanded. The truth is the Wizard has NO real power & only used illusions to create false power & ...

And it Will Be Given Him

Image
  James 1:5 If ANY of you lacks WISDOM, let them ask God, who gives GENEROUSLY to ALL without reproach, and it WILL be given (to) them. The moment ANYONE realizes that there is NOTHING that they can do to accomplish something…that requires understanding and comprehension of a plan, design…or, developing an idea to fruition…without involving our Mighty God’s total involvement in implementing EVERY step of that plan into action…then that person has just received that first measure of God’s WISDOM. Have a BLESSED Saturday Y’all!!! VQ

Little Adelaide

Image
  Adelaide Springett, born in February 1893 in Victorian Wapping, hailed from a family of street vendors. Tragically, her twin sisters, Ellen and Margaret, passed away shortly after birth and another sister, Susannah, succumbed at the tender age of four. By 1901, at just eight years old, Adelaide's residence was documented as a Salvation Army shelter, where she resided with her mother. An intriguing photograph from that time captures Adelaide at the shelter, where she, feeling ashamed of her worn-out boots, decided to pose barefoot (see her boots in the comments). The image, captured by Horace Warner, is titled "Adelaide Springett In All Her Best Clothes." She would emerge as the quintessential 'cover girl,' of the period symbolising the struggles of the impoverished in Victorian Britain. The hardships persisted as Adelaide's mother succumbed to alcoholism in 1908, leaving Adelaide and her older brother, who later enlisted in the army, to fend for themselves. ...

What is Rot and What is Not

Image
  Proverbs 28 The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions. When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability. A poor person who oppresses the poor is like a pounding rain that destroys the crops. To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them. Evil people don't understand justice, but those who follow the Lord understand completely. Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich. Young people who obey the law are wise; those with wild friends bring shame to their parents. Income from charging high interest rates will end up in the pocket of someone who is kind to the poor. God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law. Those who lead good people along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the honest will inherit good things. Rich people may think they are wise, but a poor person with discernment can see right t...

Mother and Child Never Changes

Image
  From M.A. Rothman 4,800-year-old skeleton of a mother holding her six-month old child. She is believed to be an ancestor of the Austronesian peoples that spread across the Pacific. Taichung, Taiwan, Dapenkeng culture, 2800 BC While excavating a prehistoric Taiwanese aboriginal mass-burial site discovered in Taichung, Taiwan, archeologists discovered the remains of a young mother and her child. They were amongst the 48 sets of neatly laid out skeletal remains that were recovered way back in 2014, according to Reuters. These archeological findings turned out to be the earliest signs of human activity found in central Taiwan. But what caught the attention of the archeologists was the remains of the mother and child. “When it was unearthed, all of the archeologists and staff members were shocked,” Dr. Chu Whei-lee, curator and director of the Anthropology Department at Taiwan’s National Museum of Natural Science, told Reuters. “Why? Because the mother was looking down at the baby in ...

Jesus is a Mighty force of GOOD

Image
  Hebrews 1:3 He (the Lord of Lords, the King of all Kings…and the Savior of the World) is the RADIANCE of the Glory of God and the EXACT imprint of His (divine) nature, and He upholds the universe by the Word of His POWER.  After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on HIGH. When the World has but a glimpse of Who Jesus is…they can only interpret the true NATURE of Who Jesus really is.  They look at the timid pictures hung among the art of museums and Churches that depict a timid, unauthentic man’s man…a person who appears weak and passive to confront a threat.  This was a feeble attempt by the Devil, himself to portray the exact OPPOSITE of who Jesus really is. Jesus called the Religious Leaders…hypocrites to their faces.  He turned over tables outside of the Temple…then chased the “Money Changers” out with a whip.  He confronted many who were infected with demons and dominated them with His POWER…simply saying, “Come...

Masturbating Man

Image
 from Andrew Omondi What is the true story of this man from Pompeii, whose photograph attracted great attention as a "man masturbating" when it was published? In 79 AD, Pompeii was buried in the volcanic ash of Mount Vesuvius. The plaster-filled body of this man who lived 2,000 years ago can be seen with his right hand close to the penis. When the photo was shared by the Pompeii Archaeological Park, it caused a stir on the internet and was dubbed the "Masturbating Man" on social media. Along with the other victims living around Mount Vesuvius, this man was killed by a hot pyroclastic surge. The effect this heat has on the body is responsible for causing arms and limbs to flex. This effect takes place not only during impact but also post mortem, meaning the bodies continue to change position after death. This is thought to be the reason many of the bodies—not just masturbating man—have been found in strange positions, many appearing as though they are grasping or gro...

What HE Said

Image
  Psalm 119:105 Your Word (my Lord) is a LAMP to my feet and a LIGHT to my path. Do you realize as a BELIEVER in our Mighty God of Heaven…and as a committed FOLLOWER of our Lord, Savior and King…Jesus…we have so much more of an advantage against ALL of our enemies who are manipulated by the rulers of darkness? Our God is LIGHT…all others who oppose Him are DARKNESS.  Those who dance within the shadows of evil and dress as a wolf in SHEEPS clothing are slithering within us.  ANYONE who “TAKES-AWAY”…or…”ADDS-TO” the Word of God…is NOT of God. Dig deep within yourself and ask the Holy Spirit within you…and ask BOLDLY, “Which Political Party is a Party of God’s Word.” Does it support the WILL and COMMANDS of our Heavenly Father?  What does the Word of God say about those who support Israel?  Which Party promotes LIFE, TRUTH, MARRIAGE as was written and instructed by God to be between (you fill in the blanks)…and so many more distinct differences between a Republican...

Taking a Right Turn at Eternity

Image
      Taking a right turn at eternity is something we all do. And it’s not a choice. As Bill Clinton so aptly put it, it’s what the definition of is is! I take a lot of suggestions as to my vernacular. Don’t say this, don’t say that. And the reason for this is my right turn at eternity. People don’t like to be called out. When religion gives no options, they change religion or fire God.  Atheism: Trying to prove a negative. “There ain’t no God!” Ok, Christopher, prove it.   Proving the existence of something other than ourselves is surprisingly easy. Jesus did it with one order of fish at a picnic. Five thousand people, all broke with nothing to eat. Kinda like a family reunion in Arkansas. Jesus does a little bait and switch and voila! Five thousand orders from Long John Silver’s with toys for the kids. How’d He do that?   Science has given us some amazing things. TV, cars, microwaves, COVID, well maybe not that, but it did come from a lab. Has your Chow M...

Whose Image is on Your Coin?

Image
    Whose image is on your coin? And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.  14  And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?  15  Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.  16  And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.  17  And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.   Many have heard this tale and believed they understood it but, as with all scripture there are many layers. You see, scriptur...
