I have been watching a lot of college football.

I have been watching the Wano episodes of One Piece.

Paul says some of you are sick and dying because you gulp the Supper unworthily (1 Cor 11). Share the moment the bread and wine stopped being routine and started feeling dangerous.

What happened, and how did it change the way you prepare?

I've never had a negative experience with the Eucharist. I have received miraculous healing though.

I feel angry. I need time to recuperate from my job this week, but now I'm going to have to log off soon so I can get ready for my stupid job tomorrow for mandatory overtime! I seriously wish I could quit, but I don't have the emotional support I need!

Well, it's very "Tristram Shandy" so far, so your consultants are at least cribbing from a tried-and-true model.

Here's my thoughts on what I covered from the book:

• I have heard that Adam and Eve were in one body before, but it was on Gab and they insisted that it was unbiblical, and the idea came from the Talmud and Satan. But after awhile, I do think what Katharine Bushnell says in her book, it is true, especially when you consider that Eve was taken out of Adam's side.
  
  
• The parts about Adam having freedom to eat from the Tree of Life (before he ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) and Adam having responsibilities for the Garden of Eden - it's little things like this we miss, and when someone points them out, we have to go back and look.
  
  
• The part about Adam's condition of "good" not lasting - I'm not so sure about this. It's hard to think that Adam was sinning before he ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And if it is true, why was God so patient with him and helping him? Don't we tend to view God differently?
  
  
• In both Discussion 1 and 2, I think that Bushnell's analysis on Scripture and what Scripture says itself derails Patriarchy. Patriarchy likes to protect Adam and blame everything on Eve, but God is not one sided and will always judge truthfully and accurately.

My boyfriend is kept too busy at work that he has no time for himself, we even have trouble contacting each other, please pray. Thank you.

For America, a different economic direction is needed with tourism being economically irrelevant.

The appeal of a cult is more often emotional than logical.

I have serious doubts about men leading anything because they seem weak willed and weak minded.

Satan runs the world (Eph 2:2)He has worked for centuries to manipulate and collectivize the world. He needs collective to leverage his influence. In order to get people willingly to form and enter these collectives, he needed a compliant population. In order to get each generation to be more compliant he has made great use out of public education.

There is a joke about a mother complaining, "When Billy was five years old and the teacher told him to shut up and sit down. When Billy was ten years old, the teacher told him to shut up and sit down. When Billy was 15 years old the teacher told him to shut up and sit down. Billy is 25 now and I wish he would go out and find a job.

In addition to the programming of youth, Satan has done a lot to destroy families such that parents think that putting their children in Sunday school and public school is all that is needed. It is sad to see how much is lost. It is not just men who have been crippled as a result of these changes Satan has directed us into.

surprisingly fragile entities which can be readily destroyed.

Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz For Money to Buy Braces​

A federal judge in Florida unsealed the civil case documents in October following a request from the McClatchy newspaper chain, according to The New York Times.

“Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for ‘companionship’ with young women looking to make money.”

According to the report by the House Ethics Committee, the girl signed up with a “sugar dating”website that arranged “mutually beneficial relationships,” usually with younger women and older men. That’s when she met Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg who allegedly paid her $400 for sexual encounters.

The documents continued that the girl met Gaetz at a party where she took cocaine and ecstasy and allegedly had sex with Gaetz twice for $400. She later told congressional investigators that she saw Gaetz use cocaine that night.

Greenberg, who cooperated in the case against Gaetz, pleaded guilty to underage sex trafficking, wire fraud, stalking, identity theft, producing a fake ID card, and conspiring to defraud the US government. He was handed an 11-year sentence.

Swalwell is the latest Democrat to face mortgage fraud allegations from Federal Housing Finance Agency head Bill Pulte, who sent a letter to the Justice Department on Wednesday.

Good. This hits so close to home

He's wiped out cities before and countries too. I wouldn't say "monster" I'd say judgement. But like I said, I'd understand why just based off of what's coming out now and I'm sure that's not even the half of it in what is happening behind more closed doors. His timing and all, but America will absolutely be judged.

The 7 years is not all great tribulation. It is the last 1335 days of the 7 years that is the great tribulation period. The Gog/Magog event will take place right before the 7 years begin. The 7 years are in Ezekiel 39:9.

Gog/Magog, then the 7 years. In the 7 years, the last 1335 days of it will be the great tribulation period. The 7 trumpet judgments and 7 vial judgements will all take place during the great tribulation period.

I don't remember the last time I even used pennies. I think a new "penny derangement syndrome" is starting, though. Watch there be another one of those protests coming to your state capitol buildings.

May they rest in peace and rise to glory!

Lord have mercy!

Hi, I'm always in the mood of "I'm never going to not feel alone at Mass, before Mass, or after Mass" but some times are more intense than others. It might be getting worse in November and December. I can't decide whether to sit in the nave until most of the people leave, and then leave myself, rather than leave at the same time that everyone else is talking to each other in the nave or vestibule. I don't know if it would make me feel better or worse. Can someone tell me which method they would prefer for themselves?

No. Not your every day normal Muslim. Don’t know how devout he is. Most Muslims are peaceful and believe killing one person is like killing the whole world a la Cat Stevens.

Firm tied to Kristi Noem secretly got money from government contracts​

On Oct. 2, the second day of the government shutdown, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem arrived at Mount Rushmore to shoot a television ad. Sitting on horseback in chaps and a cowboy hat, Noem addressed the camera with a stern message for immigrants: “Break our laws, we’ll punish you.”

Noem has hailed the more than $200 million, taxpayer-funded ad campaign as a crucial tool to stem illegal immigration.

The Department of Homeland Security has kept at least one beneficiary of the nine-figure ad deal a secret, records and interviews show: a Republican consulting firm with longstanding personal and business ties to Noem and her senior aides at DHS. The company running the Mount Rushmore shoot, called the Strategy Group, does not appear on public documents about the contract. The main recipient listed on the contracts is a mysterious Delaware company, which was created days before the deal was finalized.

Corey Lewandowski, her top adviser [wink wink] at DHS, has worked extensively with the firm. And the company’s CEO is married to Noem’s chief spokesperson at DHS, Tricia McLaughlin.

The Strategy Group’s ad work is the first known example of money flowing from Noem’s agency to businesses controlled by her allies and friends.

“It’s corrupt, is the word,” said Charles Tiefer, a leading authority on federal contract law and former member of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is not the first time that the Strategy Group has gotten public money through a Noem contract. As governor of South Dakota in 2023, her administration set off a scandal by hiring the Ohio-based company to do a different ad campaign, paying it $8.5 million in state funds. While the state said the contract was done by the book, a former Noem administration official told ProPublica that Noem quietly intervened to ensure the Strategy Group got the deal. ProPublica granted some people anonymity to discuss the deals because of their sensitivity.
