By Request, ‘Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Requested by Jan–Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence, sung by the choir at Manchester Cathedral, in England: traditional French melody, from Picardy (just across the Channel).

Come one, come all, to our first Christmas Carol Contest! Don’t rely on just a few readers to do all the work.

I don’t know. Maybe I should offer a cooler prize, instead of an autographed copy of one of my books.

Anyhow, the business at hand is to proclaim the birth of Jesus Christ as the focal point of human history, as something that really happened, Word of God made flesh, Holiness born as one of us–and in a stable, no less! But to the King of Kings the most opulent palace in the world would fall as far short of His glory as any stable would. And it’d be a lot less cozier.

Liquidator-ready Star Wars merchandise!

Yowsah, yowsah! The Star of Bethlehem–why, it was a spaceship! Ooga-booga!

Those spoilsports who said science fiction would rot your mind… Maybe they weren’t so far wrong, after all. Like for instance:

Hey! Has there been yet another Star Wars movie since I wrote this? I’ve lost count. Now that I’m no longer a liquidator, I’ve lost any reason I had for keeping track of Star Wars movies.

By Request,’God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen’ (the Gettys)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Our friend “thewhiterabbit” asked for this one–God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, sung by Keith and Krysten Getty, backed up by the Irish band, the Star of Munster. Not the usual arrangement!

The leadership in the contest now belongs to O Holy Night by Il Divo, with 25 views on the day it was posted. Can we get more than 25?

Prayer Request: ‘The White Rabbit’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Please join me in prayer for our friend and highly esteemed colleague, Dave, aka “the White Rabbit,” who has just been diagnosed with a fairly serious disease.

O Lord our God, in Jesus’ name, please uphold and heal our brother, David: for we believe these blessings are in your hands to give. Please, Father in heaven, preserve our fellowship; it means a lot to us. We are your servants, and the sheep of your pasture: and we need our Shepherd. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Cats vs. Civilization

Is this what happened to the Indus Valley Civilization? And I know the volcano always gets blamed for Pompeii–but who knocked stuff into the volcano to make it go off?

I am happy to say our two cats never produce chaos on purpose. Can’t say the same for the perps in this video.

By Request, ‘Mary, Did You Know?’ (Mark Lowry)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Joshua has another Christmas hymn for us–Mary, Did You Know?, sung by Mark Lowry with the Gaither Vocal Band. This is the second request for this hymn, but there’s no limit, so let everyone feel free to promote any hymn they wish to hear. It’s all part of the fun of our first annual Christmas Carol Contest!

The winner will be whoever asked for the hymn that had the most views on any single day of the contest. Meanwhile, there’s one prize for everyone–the hymns themselves.

By Request, ‘O Holy Night’ (Il Divo)

Justin’s brother, Jeremy, enters our Christmas Carol Contest with this request: O Holy Night, by Il Divo.

So far, What Child Is This? continues to lead with 22 views on the day it was posted. I don’t know–is that a lot of views? Well, we’ll find out, I guess.

Trudeau Exec Order: Believe in Evolution, or You Can’t Have a Job

It isn’t Cultural Appropriation when he does it. It’s just stupid.

Thanks to a new executive order by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canadians will now have to sign an “oath of attestation,” professing their belief in Evolution, as a condition of employment.

“There is no room in the Canadian economy for hateful people who refuse to believe in settled science,” Trudeau said. “We will distribute copies of the oath to every employee in Canada. Check the box ‘Yes,’ or you’re out of a job!”

Last year Canada ruled there would be no “Summer Jobs Canada” funding for any organization opposed to abortion (https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2018/02/canadas-pro-abortion-politics).

The new order, Trudeau explained, is aimed primarily at Christians while Muslims are exempted. “It’s always the stinking Christians who try to block progress,” he said, “always the no-good Christians who stand between us and the achievement of an earthly paradise. Well, from now on in Canada, they’re going to have to do it without a paycheck!”

[Editor’s Note: This story is a hoax. It is an experiment, intended to discover whether people believe there is any limit to the excesses of the Left–of which Trudeau is a spectacular example.]

‘Happy Earth Day…Not!’ (2012)

“You’re just gonna have to make sacrifices for my vision of the future…”

We’ve told you about those anti-human humanists. Here’s a classic example of it.

Back in 2009, the British Prime Minister’s “scientific advisers” told him Britain would have to reduce its population to 30 million or the country couldn’t be “sustainable.”

https://leeduigon.com/2012/04/22/happy-earth-day-not/

Given that the country’s population at the time was 62.3 million, it would’ve been interesting to hear how the “scientific advisers” proposed to get rid of the unwanted 32.3 million people. That information was not forthcoming. Nor did the “scientific advisers” offer themselves for erasure, by way of setting a good example.

If we’re not careful, one of these days, one of these news items is going to mushroom into a full-blown horror story.
