And I need to go to Costco just for my regular supplies.l and to pick up some extra supplies for the Western NC flood victims.

That place is gonna be more packed than usual today.

Well why am I still paying them for insurance?

But they also have been spending all that money to house illegal aliens. Don’t have the sauce now bc I’m on the road.

Well let’s see all the rats who vote against it!

I read online the Biltmore Building was not affected by flooding but some of the gates and lower areas of the estate were.

In General Asheville which went under water is a very liberal city. Yes, there are many conservatives who live in the mountains but even many mountain cities are blue (The city of Boone which also got hit may also be blue).

You’re welcome. I have to do my own research onto it.

Been taking bible study with a group of other women from other denominations. So it’s useful to learn how to justify my own faith as it relates to the Bible.

Samaritan’s Purse (Christian organization) is looking for volunteers beginning on Sept 30th.

Here’s a link:

I just gave you one link about Saints. Here is another that actually gives you the biblical references for why Catholics pray to saints: https://www.ncregister.com/blog/4-biblical-proofs-for-prayers-to-saints-and-for-the-dead

There are many others if you try want to delve into it. I am no theologian so I cannot draw you to biblical references. I do know there are more books in a Catholic bible than a Protestant one, however.

Being raised Catholic I never questioned it. It’s tradition. We celebrate All Souls’ Day and All Saints’ Day. And everyone who goes to Heaven becomes a saint.
Some lived lives that the Catholic Church recognizes.

Again we do not worship them nor do we worship their statues.

Just so you know praying to saints dates way back to the very early church. And the first Christian Church was Roman Catholic.

God allows them to hear us.

I’m a practicing Roman Catholic

You are correct May and the saints are not omnipresent. However this may help you understand:

https://catholic.cafe/2020/01/16/are-mother-mary-saints-and-angels-omnipresent-like-god-to-listen-to-prayer-requests-of-the-faithful-from-different-locations-on-the-planet-at-the-same-time/#:~:text=Mother%20Mary%2C%20the%20Saints%20or%20the%20Angels%20are,%28Ephesians%203%3A20%29.%20It%20is%20God%20who%20empowers%20them.

Catholics pray to the saints and especially to the Blessed Mother to intercede for us. We also ask them to pray for us. We do NOT worship their statutes NOR do we worship them.

We pray the prayer above to St Michael to protect us. We have different Saints we pray and ask help from. Some have specific novenas you can pray to specific saints to help us find lost things, ask for healings, etc.

I often pray the prayer above to Saint Michael but don’t typically pray to other saints for their help.

We pray aloud and also silently on our own.

This morning before Mass at my church we prayed the rosary aloud as a group. We will be praying the rosary every Sunday before Mass bc October is respect life month.

Red October starts on Tuesday .

Such a nice guy …NOT!

Good news! This needs to be repeated all over the country

I’m not even sure our lame duck Dem Governor Cooper even said anything about it.

The damage is devastating all roads into the mountains are closed.

Today is the Feast Day of St Michael.

He's a fricken ass who kicks

People don’t realize that absentee ballots are often counted after Election Day but before canvassing. Thus their ballots aren’t used to declare a winner if enough votes are obtained by in person voters. But your vote is still counted.

My advice is don't request an absentee ballot be sent to your home Vote in person instead if you want your vote to count on election night

Absolutely heartbreaking to see the damage. I live in the coastal plains of NC and was flooded out of my home in 2018 by Hurricane Flo. So I know what many of these people are currently experiencing and will be going through in the future. It took over a year to get back in our home.

Although we here in Eastern NC dodge the Helene bullet we feel for all those who did. We had a little rain and a little wind and a threat of some tornadoes today.

Now if we can just get our internet service back on again. We’ve been out since even before I got up.

I’m voting early bc I have to. As a poll worker I won’t be in my precinct on Election Day.

Even if I wasn’t working the polls I would prefer to vote early to avoid any shenanigans on Election Day itself. Long lines and any malfunctions be damned. I’ll be working and hoping we can avoid them ourselves!

Just so ya know we were told as Poll workers if anyone comes in and claims they never voted yet it comes up that they already did we can only offer them a provisional ballot.

I’m sure there’s more treasonous crimes she can be prosecuted for. Insider trading is just the tip of the iceberg.

I checked my to do list and ✔️ my done list. All checked and all done. Ready to vote And ready to take back this country!

Why are so many of these kid’s coming to the US unaccompanied? Do their parents sell them? Are they stolen?

It is sickening, but why would loving parents let their kids go?

Doesn’t this start with their parents back in their own countries?

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around why so many of these kids are unaccompanied

This isn’t to dismiss what happens to them once they get here but somehow we need to find out why they are alone.

I would suggest they use my tax monies to execute it instead.

That’s horrible. Poor kid.

Good one!
