Have you considered that typically in the past, there was more prejudice against LGBT persons among the elderly?

I didn't consider it that way because it's a terrible explanation.
What about the other groups? Why target children?

I live in the UK and this is shocking news for many Anglicans I am sure. I am non demontional and my local church is Anglican. I never even heard of even such cases. I don't really listen to the news. His lost will be felt in the Anglican church and UK by many. Not commenting on the case I just felt a sense that so many of us are letting God down. We all make mistakes. There is so much going on in the world at the moment, that I find this just too much to take on right now.

I think I agree, if I understand you correctly. As I said earlier, no president in the foreseeable future is going to abandon Israel or force them into a situation they see as critical to their existence. Trump is not going to force a ceasefire that would cause Netanyahu to assert that the US had abandoned Israel to destruction.

Yes exactly.

Tho additionally, I think Netanyahu is crafty enough to play games with the timing of the war for some political effect or other.

Neo-Marxist Critical Theory says that your truth and facts are merely the tools of the Oppressor and must be discarded so that we are "not held back by what has gone before."

What's interesting about that is the assumption that facts and truth are mine. Or yours. That there aren't facts or isn't truth that are universal.

And there are facts that what has gone before can make it more difficult for people. My parents did not.own a house until about 1983 or so. We were very poor growning up. So, circumstances can affect us. But it's a difficulty not an impossibility. I was never told that I can't be whatever I want and that I can't pursue whatever I want. There were times I had a very difficult time finding a job. Life isn't always easy, but there is no one in the US any more.who.is prevented from pursuing their best life.

I do it when I can remember, and no one seems to mind, except that there are a few who seem surprised

I mostly am so focused in like a magnet on love that I cannot remember all the hand signals and right moves and so on

It's just me and Him

If I could, I would just stay on my knees for the whole mass

Thanks for sharing

I have no respect for them. Planned Parenthood and their cronies don’t deserve it. Ugh

Amen This passage was on my mind, I sense it ties in with the song

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 139:23-24 - New International Version

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

On a completely less serious note, your username got me thinking that I haven't seen or heard any mourning doves this summer. I saw my first owl in years, though, and scared an eagle. I was close enough to the eagle to hear how much air the wings moved.

Eagles are awesome ...

Come to think of it, I heard no mourning doves this year. I do usually hear them in my neighborhood.

This will probaby sound conspiratorial (lol), but I believe many of the changes we continue to see in nature are due to chemicals in the environment, things like chemtrails, etc. It only makes sense to me that those things would affect our wildlife population.

Our inherent worth and beauty as people come from being created in God's image (Genesis 1:27). Your value is not defined by societal standards of physical attractiveness but by the fact that you are God's beloved child.

1 Samuel 16:

7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

2Co 5:

16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

You are a child of God. You are loved by God no matter what you look like on the outside. The Spirit of God dwells in you.

This world is a testing ground for everyone, Romans 8:

18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory to be revealed to us.

We will be raised with a glorified body. God lives in you. Focus on Him.

My dad was falling too much. Between the money and the falls, there was just no way he could stay home. I hope you work out something for your dad!

My dad was falling more frequently too. His ability to stand had also been deteriorating and it culminated into him giving way to the floor the other day. I'm worried that if PT (physical therapy) can't rejuvenate him by February 4 (the target date) then I can't keep him at home. But Medicaid will take "everything" away from me. His bank accounts will be the first things targeted, and I'm temporarily using them (my dad is letting me) while he's away from home. It's a mess

Doesn't mean you're right, either.

You claimed that was I intimated was "baseless" and you said that you came to that conclusion by not having evidence presented to you.

You claimed that I was wrong based on nothing. While I made claims based on what I saw. There is a difference.

I never understood Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. They are not based on anything tangible, like bonds or stocks, and are very vulnerable to market swings and cons.

It is definitely something that takes active watching.

I didn't understand the internet either and missed an opportunity. This is why I am open to new technology but late to the game. My son would be able to explain it better but it's the blockchain more efficient in ledger transfers. How the "Bitcoin" comes from this I don't know. So I bought 0.00000000000000000000000000000000001 coins lol, but I wish I had bought 1 Bitcoin when it was down around 20k but I balked. My nephews bought several when it was in the hundreds per coin.

I invest in the top 2, Ethereum and mainly Bitcoin because after all Blackrock is in it so can't be all that bad. All that other stuff is questionable.

I do not think the voting would make any difference, anyway. Everyone has an idea of some issues, and they disregard the rest. Now we have some issue being dealt with from having the winner coming into office while other issues remain disregarded. I had no expectation it could be better.

Out of all of Donald Trump’s supporters, Derrick Evans has a particular reason to be happy with November’s election results – he hopes the president-elect will give him a pardon for participating in the 6 January riot at the US Capitol.

“A pardon will be life changing,” said Evans, who was a member of the West Virginia legislature when he and at least 2,000 others stormed the Capitol in 2021. It was part of an effort to overturn the results of the US election, inspired by the false belief that it was Trump, not President Joe Biden, who had won.

Continued below.

Jan 6 rioters expect Trump will keep pardon promise

Several Capitol riot defendants have asked for hearings to be delayed in anticipation of pardons.

First on CNN: Trump picks Kristi Noem to serve as his Homeland Security secretary

Thank God, a lawful handling of gov't affairs that is likely to ensue following Tuesday's election. I see PDJT has for the most part dropped his 2016 "Your going to get tired of winning" slogan though he could conceivably resurrect it per this mornings announcement of finally capturing the House of Representatives. This (we hope), will ensure a massive push towards common sense corrections over security and economy as far as the federal efforts are appropriately dealt. If I were to make a suggestion to all who are carried away with an outlook of pessimism, I would encourage you not to underestimate President Elect Donald Trump's track record of amicable concerns for all.

But, what do we make of the potential from here on? After securing all three branches of the US Government, DT's efforts are going to be a much smoother time of dealing with the resistance of Dem AND Republican sloth. The end game may well rise to something more than historic, but convincing enough to turn resistance on it's head in overwhelming benefit. How strong? So what if the US did become an aid to the world in unchartered fashion, after what the country and specifically, the whole Trump family endured since 2016, I don't think the country is ready to restore to them what they have endured.

May God bless the fruit of our hands in this effort to be a blessing.

CV NEWS FEED // Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan announced drastic cuts across the Archdiocese of New York, part of a broad restructuring aimed at streamlining pastoral offices, cutting costs, and enhancing local ministry effectiveness.

In a November 8 news release, Cardinal Dolan shared that the restructuring plan was developed after months of evaluation, and after a thorough review led by the Vicar General. The plan includes merging offices, reducing administrative staff, and transitioning many programs to a parish-focused model.

These changes are intended to better support the Archdiocese’s nearly 300 parishes while addressing financial pressures and preparing for the move to new offices in 2025.

“This restructuring has, unfortunately, resulted in regrettable lay-offs,” Cardinal Dolan stated in the news release, referring to reductions at the Cardinal Cooke Building and other locations.
