What a beautiful hymn this is! And I never heard of it till now. I Will Follow Thee, sung by the kids at Fountainview Academy, British Columbia. Sets by God the Father, maker of heaven and earth.

Kitty and Ratty
You’d think it’d be hard to find scenes like this, outside of The Wind in the Willows. But here are a rat and a cat playing together–with the rat even getting underfoot on the cat, just like cats enjoy doing to us humans.
By the way, rats make smart and affectionate pets. We had two of them and they were just as good as gold–except with each other, of course.

They Think the Electoral College Is a Real School
As you watch this video, bear in mind two things. 1. Education in America is compulsory. Everyone gets educated. 2. Our public education system is the biggest and costliest in human history.
What is the excuse for all these 20-somethings not to know what the Electoral College is? They think it’s a real college, probably with a football team. They have all been publicly educated, and at great cost. They have the right to vote, if they can remember to do so.
True, the video’s too long. After three or four minutes, you’ll get the point.
The fewer people who vote, the better. Rule by ignoramuses, we don’t need.
NJ to Approve ‘Assisted Suicide’
First do no harm… NOT!
The Democrat death cult has its claws fastened on New Jersey. They failed on Monday to legalize “recreational marijuana,” but yesterday both houses of the legislature passed an “assisted suicide” bill which the governor is eager to sign into law today (https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/new-jersey-legislature-passes-bill-legalizing-assisted-suicide-28830).
Wherever you find Democrats in charge, you’ll find laws favoring abortion, sexual anarchy, suicide, and drug use.
Our governor cites his “strict Catholic upbringing.” Well, obviously he’s totally rejected everything they tried to teach him. Boy, if you could ever find a way to harness liberal hypocrisy, we could get rid of fossil fuels the same day.
They pitch assisted suicide to us as humane, an escape from agony, it’s only gonna be after a doctor says you’ve got just six months or less to live–and we all know doctors are always right about that, don’t we?
They don’t say anything about “end of life counselors” or family members who hate you gathered around your sick-bed like vultures and nagging you to end it all. “C,mon! Don’t you realize how much money it costs to keep you alive? C’mon, now, kill yourself! Do it now!”
No fear of God. Like they’ll never have to stand before His judgment seat.
Good luck with that, sunshine.
Green New Deal Gets… Zero Votes!
Well, there you have it: they tell us the world’s gonna end in 12 years and we’re all gonna die unless we do exactly what they say–and then, when they get a chance to vote for it in the U.S. Senate, not one Democrat Senator, no, not one, voted yesterday for their precious “Green New Deal.”
What? Do they not care that we’re all freakin’ doomed? They told us that we have to do these things! Stop all use of fossil fuels. Guaranteed income for layabouts who refuse to work. No more private home ownership. No more cars. They go on and on about it; and then, when they get a chance to go on the record for it, they all vote “present”!
Yup, that’s what they did in the U.S. Senate yesterday. Fifty-three Republican senators, plus three Democrats who didn’t dare ever to go home again unless they voted “no,” voted against the Green New Deal; and 42 Democrat senators voted “present.” In the same sense that a pineapple or an ashtray would be “present.”
Like we’ve been observing all along, the Climbit Change crowd doesn’t believe a single word they say: it’s all for consumption by the stupid masses. Our rulers mean to rule us whether we like it or not.
They need an attitude adjustment.
Anyway, they couldn’t bring themselves to vote in favor of their own Green New Deal that they invented and pitched to us as absolutely necessary as the only possible way to escape Doomsday.
When a chef can’t be made to take a single forkful of the meal that he’s prepared for someone else, think poison.
‘After Christian School… It All Goes South’ (2016)
I’ve seen this for myself–how years of Christian schooling can be so quickly undone by public education.
Can it be the Christian schools just aren’t as strong as they ought to be? I don’t know. I’ve taught in a wonderful Catholic school, and I’ve taught in wretched public schools. I don’t know what would happen to a child educated at St. Helena’s if he were taken out of there after eighth grade and thrust into a public high school. All I can say for sure is that I’d never, never make the experiment.
Parents who love and respect their sons and daughters keep them out of public education.
‘When We All Get to Heaven’
Things have been mighty quiet around here lately; no wonder the kittens and puppies fall asleep.
So let’s shake it off and make a joyful noise unto the Lord–When We All Get to Heaven, sung by the choir and the congregation at Temple Baptist Church in Powell, Tennessee. I find their music minister grows on me. If he gets any more excited, he’ll fall over.
Sleepy Kittens, Sleepy Pups
I don’t want to hear any more nooze today–do you? How about some little fuzzy faces instead?
Some of these pups, when they fall asleep, they literally do fall. And not always in the most advantageous places.
Memory Lane: ‘The Mickey Mouse Club’
Walt Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club debuted on TV in 1955 and was a mega-hit by 1956, airing on weekday afternoons. Remember?
I was only six or seven years old when I started watching this, and now I don’t know how I ever managed to sit through it. Really, all I wanted was the cartoons! Especially Donald Duck, or Goofy. If they played them at all, they played them near the end of the show so you had to watch all the singing and dancing. Those sequences seem just as long to me today as they seemed back then.
I wanted one of those Mouseketeer hats, but never got one–just a set of plastic slip-on Mickey Mouse ears. Why in the world did I watch this show? Beats me! Was it because mine was the first TV generation, and we all watched TV because that’s what you did? And whatever they put on the screen, you watched? Say it ain’t so, Joe.
I’ll never get back the time I spent watching this festival of nothing.
