OP, Thank you for the movie dialog reference. I still LOVE that movie, even if Steven King did write the original "horror-show" novel. And yes, I think your reference is VERY 'pro-Q'.
"Tell Him you did it as a kindness..."
I can't BELIEVE I'm so "all het up" about an AI cover. SCOTTY! DUDE! And, THANK YOU, u/Dogsoldier2! There probably is meaning in the fact that this 'band' only exists in the ether. But WHAT A COVER! YIKES!
Thank you, AD! "The Wreck..." was - to me - the most painful anti-war song I'd ever heard. A clue? "The ship was the pride of the American side..." and when I learned how badly wasted were the blood and treasure of the USA during the war of that era - and how badly used (horribly overloaded) was the ship and crew of the "Edmond" - I thought Mr. Lightfoot was a genius. And I hated him for making me understand.
FOREVER WARS OCCUR because we do not quickly enough eradicate the war-mongers. I don't know if Q ever warned us about letting them live too long...
Lol! "Dey don NEED no STEENKING BADGES!"
OMG! Christian young-people? Camped out in tents? Gathered on the National Mall? Not homeless? Singing Praises to God our Savior? No riots? Just WORSHIP? YES, my creaky old knees will bend. YES, my weary tears will flow in JOY! MAY. JESUS CHRIST. BE. PRAISED!!!
I BELIEVE! This former McDonald's employee can fix McDonald's ICE CREAM MACHINES! SO LET IT BE WRITTEN! So let it be done! ;)
Wow, okay, so - it's AI. I wish I could meet the person or people who made this and give them hugs and prayers. I can send prayers over them, anyway. THIS is what AI can/MUST be doing if there is to be hope for us.
Charlie was NOT AI. Charlie was/IS real - but he gives us HOPE. We CAN keep that hope alive in Christ our Savior! Thank you, Charlie!
HALLELUJAH! You beautiful young people give this old geezer GREAT hope for the future. AND OUR HOPE IS IN CHRIST OUR LORD - AS YOU HAVE SAID!
Indeed. This amazing young lady has awakened this old geezer (me) to the usefulness of process analysis describing/unpacking historic events. While casting events in rough flow-charts might be an oversimplification, such charts might get us initiated to being able to digest MUCH more detailed information. You learn something EVERY day! ;)
Thank you, Q20191776! Thank you, MuckyDuck! Thank you, thatthingido2!
THANK YOU, dear JoysWan! STRONG the force is with you! And, Thank you, Mike! I had NO idea you could do this! And THANK YOU, USA - for being the most wonderful nation ever to exist! Are we Privileged? Are we BLESSED by The Lord God Almighty?
You bet your bless-ed SOUL we are! GIVE HIM PRAISE!
"Thank you, Mr. Jeffries, for your very optimistic assessment..."
Dear Brother Slectha,
You make me SO GLAD I happened to check on this forum, TODAY! This is inspired. AND, in an odd and joyful way, it points to the very Scripture our Pastor has chosen to reference for his message this coming Sunday: Ephesians 2: 8-11. AND - in my mind - I also hear references to Scripture that terrifies me: Ezekiel 9 (including: "Begin at my house").
All in all, we MUST keep our eyes on Jesus. You KNOW this. If anyone on this forum is aware, YOU, our dear Slechta, YOU know this!
So, I'll say it again: THANK YOU for your faithfulness! THANK YOU for your persistence! And THANK YOU for calling us again to our real mission! By God's precious Grace, WE ARE STILL IN THE FIGHT and our Lord has not yet given up on us! YOU ARE PART OF THE PROOF! AMEN!
Certainly I realize - as do all of you - that looks can be deceiving. But it is my earnest hope for the Iranian people, that there are no 'Basiji' hindering their evacuation - and perhaps even - their escape. May God in Christ be PRAISED!
I'm late to the prayer meeting Darcy - but our Beloved Heavenly Father is not constrained by such concepts as 'linear time' or 'event sequencing'. Please let me add my prayers for hope and healing for your family. God is BIGGER than any of my own problems and bigger than any problem you face.
"Father God, let the healing be NOW; let the Glory be Yours. Amen!"
Words are ENTIRELY inadequate to express our indebtedness to the AMAZING operatives of ICE. MONEY cannot properly compensate them for all the suffering and mayhem they are preventing every DAY.
I say, at the very least, those of us who love the USA and the children of the future must PRAY for our heroes/heroines of ICE and give thanks to God EVERY day for the "bullets" ICE has helped us to dodge. Hmmmm. Dodging bullets seems to be a theme for this era... THANK YOU, LORD JESUS!
Wait! Isn't this peacemaker the SAME MAN who Almighty GOD saved - just months ago - by a hair's breadth, from an assassin's bullet? Ya think The Adonai El Shaddai had some of this in mind? Ya think avoiding a nuclear holocaust over in Pakistan/India was - all along - a part of plan of THE ONE ETERNAL? Ya think preventing the TOTAL destruction of the USA by the leftist haters was part of God's Reason for saving this man, all along?
HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS! The Triune God <em>FREAKS ME OUT,</em> He's so amazing. He must be OMNISCIENT or something(Ya think?). Like FATHER of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! LIke: WORLD WITHOUT END; ANCIENT OF DAYS; from EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING and stuff. CREATOR GOD! HOLY OF HOLIES!
I've got NOTHING for superlatives left. Somebody help me offer THANKS to the Savior GOD! <em>"Lord, in our feeble thinking, we understand that probably NO ONE ELSE but Donald Trump could have prevented a nuclear nightmare between India and Pakistan."</em> YOU SPARED HIM, LORD GOD! ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY IS - yet again - BLESSED because of one more man you saved, Heavenly Father. Yes, I'm dumbstruck so I'll shut my mouth.
Thank you, A.D. Our beloved DJT will gladly, ABLY serve as the greatest President of our lifetimes. Yet the Donald will be among the first to testify, "only Jesus Christ is Lord and God".
AMEN!
If he survives the drinking of the 'water of life', we will know if he IS, the Kwisatz Haderach...
from the song by Crowder: "looks like somebody prayed..."
THANQ for re-posting this! What FUN!
This is the message I'm reading in to the clothing our beloved Flotus is wearing:
"I'm standing behind the man I love and the greatest President of this greatest of nations. I AM a woman of decision and of action. Be aware, Secret Service: if you can't/won't defend this man, I WILL. Whatever it takes..."
My hat's off to you, brother. Keep doin' what you do for the Glory of God! My own Church is getting busy! The Holy Spirit of God is on the MOVE! HALLELUJAH!
MAD respect for you, dear Brother Slechta. Your persistent presence here and your loving witness to the Lordship of Christ our Savior CONTINUES to be a mighty blessing to all persons willing to read what you share - especially me.
Q impressed me as a very highly intelligent believer in Christ as Lord and God - otherwise, I wouldn't be here at all. It is because our 'civilization' has been so VERY sick (re-trying everything but Jesus) that a great-awakening has become necessary. As I see it, hope in Christ is a primary reason for the existence of this forum. You are NOT 'forum sliding' by declaring 'Jesus Christ and Him Crucified and resurrected'. (paraphrase from Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:2)
Praise GOD I see some hope for revival in our nation and in our world - and I pray that is not just my wishful thinking. AND, while I don't want to push away our more secular Brothers and Sisters - and while I have no wish to alienate American patriots of other faiths - I see no other cure for our 'civilizational sickness' than in salvation by Grace, through Faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and God. (my paraphrase of Acts 4:12)
Please don't stop, Brother. My prayers for you and for God's Glory in your work will continue. I hope to find time to visit with you at c/Christianity. MAY. JESUS CHRIST. BE. PRAISED!!
Logged on (rarely) just to tell you this: AMEN! Underscore: "overwhelming responsibility". And THANK YOU for your comment!
