    “If you think you’re going to vote your way out of this you’re wrong.” “They’ll just steal it again.” Folks, I’m about to blow a gasket with these types. Many of these people think they are—-or portray themselves as—-MAGA or “conservatives.” There is nothing whatsoever conservative or MAGA about this worldview. Quite the contrary, if I was a DemoKKKrat I would energetically promote this kind of thinking to suppress MAGA and conservative turnout. It is simply a wrong worldview in several ways.
  • Dear Fellow Priests – Holy Christmas 2021

    The following email was sent to the more than 150 priests of the diocese of Perugia, Italy, on December 24, 2021. Dear fellow priest, With the coronavirus, we see each other seldom, and with the social distancing, we speak with each other very little! Thus we share very little of our thoughts as priests in the same diocese! I would like to, at least in this occasion of Christmas, to share with you some of my thoughts that are very much on my heart.

  • I just Emailed Trump, maybe others want to encourage him too?

    Maybe Trump could use some encouragement with the super-sized amount of backstabbers and liars he is dealing with these days? I decided to email him and tell him how much I appreciated him and all he has done for the country and that I am praying for him constantly.

    The following email was sent to the more than 150 priests of the diocese of Perugia, Italy, on December 24, 2020. Dear fellow priests, With the corona virus, we see each other much less, and we talk among ourselves much less, unfortunately.

  • The Laborer’s Time is Now!

    04/04/2020 7:43:36 AM PDT · by Roman_War_Criminal · 8 replies
    I want to talk with you about how this coronavirus emergency pandemic crisis, as bad as it is, is actually a revelation to the world of how good God is. I want to explain what I mean by that. As bad as this is, it is a catalyst for the good. Such that this may be meant for evil, as some believe and suggest, but God as only He can, is bringing about good. Namely, the salvation of many who would not have otherwise come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ had this not happened. There are people that...

    Dear FReepers, I hope this year to bring you Someone more than what the world is so hesitant to give you this time of year on a ‘holiday card’ –I wish to give you some words of Encouragement—Encouragement that lives and breathes today Who’s birthday we are celebrating. The little display we have had over the years in our front yard is where we put all of our effort in decorating. As health fails, energy dissipates and budgets get thin, the most important thing remains—speak Encouragement in whatever way you can to your family, friends, neighbors and passersby. Jesus is...

    'I began with small steps, I didn't actually change the way I ate until fairly far into my fitness journey.'I guess you could say I hit a plateau - so I started to change the way I ate.'I watched my portions and ate more fruits and veggies, less packaged food more whole food.'She reached 115lb then hired a coach to help to weight train to sculpt her figure and entered her first fitness competition in 2014.She admitted being nervous the first time she stepped on stage but praised her coaches who helped prepare her.'I truly enjoyed the process.

  • Be Still And Trust

    07/25/2015 8:25:00 AM PDT · by Cecilia Trent · 2 replies
    “What they trust in is fragile; what they rely on is a spider’s web. They lean on the web, but it gives way; they cling to it, but it does not hold.” — Job 8:14-15 (NIV) When life seems unpredictable and our future doesn’t feel secure, we naturally want to scramble, doing everything we can to resolve whatever it is that has brought on our anxieties, fears, and discomforts. When we try to take control of an uneasy situation, we start to assume that we had control of the situation to begin with. In these times, God says: “Be still...

    “I have seven thousand in Israel, who have never bent the knee to nor bowed to Baal” – A Word of Encouragement from God By: Msgr. Charles PopeEvery now and again in times like these, I think of the prophet Elijah, anxious and fretting in a cave, so depressed he could barely eat. He was fleeing from Queen Jezebel, who sought his life. As Elijah looked to his beloved Israel, he saw a rather discouraging portrait of fellow Jews who were either too confused or too fearful to resist the religion of the Baals required by Jezebel. He seems...
  • Obama's Former Chief Economist Has Some Words Of Encouragement For US Workers

    zero hedge ^ | 8/1/14 | Tyler Durden
    The minimum-wage-hiker-in-chief will not be happy this morning. Former Obama administration economist Alan Krueger has some choice words for the hope-filled living-wage seekers of America: *KRUEGER SAYS WORKERS NEED TO 'RATCHET DOWN WAGE EXPECTATIONS' Isn't it odd how quickly the views of ethical economists change once they have tenure and the shackles of government-servitude are removed. We don't remember hearing Krueger arguing that a 'fair' wage is a little much to expect in the current environment. It would appear Mr. Krueger should stop being cynical and just get hopey.

    ligonier.org ^ | July 2014 | RC Sproul Jr.
    There is a sort of application of the Observer Effect that applies to the news of the day. Sometimes confused with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which argues that at the subatomic level we can discern either the velocity of a particle or its location, but not both, the Observer Effect argues that observing scientific phenomena can affect what we are observing. It’s almost as if the electrons know we’re looking at them, and adjust their dance. With respect to the news of the day, we often hear this kind of argument: “Social ill x is no greater today than it...
