This is the hymn that came into my head at bedtime, and was still there this morning, so this is the hymn I post today: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise (see 1 Timothy 1:17), sung back the Smucker Family. Background sets by God the Father, who shapes the mountains with His hands.
Endearingly goofy, I should add–dogs just don’t take themselves seriously. They make rude noises to Lassie behind her back. They work themselves up over things that’d hardly make a cat bat an eye. They’re a perfect remedy, after a day like this one turned out to be.
So, what do you have to know to be a member of the House of Representatives?
Nothing!
Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) proved that the other day when she said Democrats–by which she means socialists like herself–have to “take back all three chambers of Congress–uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House” (https://www.dailywire.com/news/38491/watch-ocasio-cortez-has-no-idea-what-3-branches-ryan-saavedra).
The golden gal of “Democratic Socialism”–wait a minute, that doesn’t fly: better call it “Justice Democrats” instead–does not know what are the three branches of government. For those educated in public schools, that would be legislative (Congress), executive (the president), and judicial (the Supreme Court).
There ought to be a law against what leftids do to words. When they start talking about “justice,” watch out. It means they want to grab the money you earned and give it to their voter base, minus the big chunks of it that stick to their fingers.
If you voted for any Democrat, anywhere–shame on you.
What was so good about Western civilization, that it galloped past the rest of the world and achieved great things?
The Bible!
In 2011 Vishal Mangalwadi, a scholar from India who converted to Christianity, wrote a book that brilliantly proves that it was the Bible, God’s Word, and nothing else, that made the West great. With the Red Pope yapping about the obligation of countries with decent, relatively honest governments to stop eating food that ought to go to people living in countries with unspeakably corrupt governments, and the need for some even more corrupt world government to “redistribute” everything, Mangalwadi’s book deserves to be read–and re-read–by, well, everyone.

I reviewed his book in 2012, and it’s high time to revisit it. Sure, it’s a long review: but this book deserves one: The Book That Made Your World, by Vishal Mangalwadi.
Well, we spent the whole morning at the doctor’s office, and don’t know much more now than we knew yesterday. At least I don’t.
Patty has some kind of problem with her circulation. That’s bad. Other aspects of her health are pretty much okay. Don’t expect a detailed medical report from me. I don’t understand enough to give you one.
The immediate business at hand seems to be dietary modification. My wife is averse to taking a bunch of medicines she never heard of, so that’s off the table, at least for now.
All I really know is to ask for your continued prayers. God’s healing comes without dangerous side effects. I ask for it, many times a day, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Well, we’re at the doctor’s, doing our do-over; but that doesn’t mean I can’t share a hot news flash with you.
Special Prosecutor-Witchfinder Robert Mueller, we learn from a thoroughly unreliable source, will now probe the 1986 World Series for evidence of “collusion” between Donald Trump (not president then, just a bad rich guy in New York) and The Russians.
The New York Mets defeated the Boston Red Sox in the series when Sox first baseman Bill Bucker made a crucial error in Game 6.
But now, according to an assistant substitute groundskeeper who is being offered U.S. citizenship and a lot of dates with supermodels in return for his testimony, and life imprisonment if he doesn’t sing, Trump and The Russians arranged for Mookie Wilson’s batted ball to take a tricky bounce.
“I’ll get that sonofab**** out of office if it’s the last thing I do!” Mueller confided to his master, Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer. “We can’t allow grubby stinking little voters to decide who gets elected president!”
Leftids were appalled, five years ago, when Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia admitted to believing in the Devil.

In the wake of the Kavanagh hearings this year, how much imagination does it take to envision Democrats declaring that no one who believes in the existence of the Devil, let alone God, is fit to serve on the Supreme Court–or any other court?
Always presuming they haven’t said so already…

Do you get sleepy on a Sunday? I do–and so do all the animals in this video, especially the dogs. Cats don’t count because they sleep all the time, and I never met anyone who had a pet meerkat. And who knew a sleepy rooster could make such a cuddly pet?
Jambo, Mr. Nature here, with a brief safari into the past.
Today we’re looking for the largest bear ever, which is not the Alaskan brown bear or even the polar bear. They’re big: but the short-faced bear of North America, ranging from California to New Jersey, was bigger. Based on fossils, an adult short-faced bear weighed around a ton and stood 12 feet high when it stood on its hind legs. On all fours, it could look a six-foot man right in the eye.
Scientists estimate that these bruisers went extinct ten or eleven thousand years ago, along with a lot of other awesome mammal megafauna in North America. No one knows why. All we can say for certain is that they were here once, but not any more. Maybe the bears ran out of big stuff to eat–although we really don’t know why any of those beasts died out. Theories abound.
I try to imagine what it would be like to see one of these. Okay–but it might be the last thing you ever see.
God created these animals and pronounced them good. We don’t know why He removed them from the scene, although it might have been a good thing for us that He did.
We can only wonder.
