Hi Geebee. And thanks for the beautiful gif you freepmailed me yesterday. I didn’t do it, I would assume it’s a billie or lori creation (or may St.Louie1)
Yes as usual an excellent perspective of recent events, AND without the eyes glazing over, AND slinking off into deep slumber. John’s essays are always lively and appreciated.
Thanks for reminding me to read John’s latest essay. I was off doing other and forgot to read it.
ahhh, another post worthy of passing on to a bunch of liberals. Let em wallow in their swill.
Always look forward to JohnHuang Thurday and the graphics inserted to enhance the essay. Keep up the great work!
Good evening, Dutchess. Thank you for today’s thread.

READ: Psalm 95
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. —Psalm 95:6
The ancient Greeks and Romans rejected kneeling as a part of their worship. They said that kneeling was unworthy of a free man, unsuitable for the culture of Greece, and appropriate only for barbarians. The scholars Plutarch and Theophrastus regarded kneeling as an expression of superstition. Aristotle called it a barbaric form of behavior. This belief, however, was never held by God’s people.
In Psalm 95:6, the psalmist indicated that kneeling expressed a deep reverence for God. In this one verse he used three different Hebrew words to express what the attitude and position of the worshiper should be.
First, he used the word worship, which means to fall prostrate as a sign of honor to the Lord, with an associated meaning of allegiance to Him. The second word he used was bow. This means to sink down to one’s knees, giving respect and worship to the Lord. The psalmist then used the word kneel, which means to be on one’s knees giving praise to God.
According to the psalmist, kneeling in God’s presence is a sign of reverence rather than a barbaric form of behavior. The important thing, however, is not just our physical position but a humble posture of the heart.
Its “Good Friday Morning” now and I love this thread from yesterday. Especially, the Essay by John. Thanks to ALL of you! Dutchess, you did a great job!
Thanks Rus, I want to give Dutchess/Jh2 a good 24 hours for their original thread.
The weekend thread is a coming!

Good Morning!
Questioning life today, wondering why a dear relative who helped many is having to suffer and yet another relative who scammed others just sold a house in California for $720,000, so the bad are rewarded and the good aren’t?
“Almighty, matchless, glorious God,
Inhabiting eternity,
I bow to You and give You praise,
In awe that You can live in me.”
Amen. Many thanks!
