I was feeling down and exhausted today, and in my prayers asking for God's help. Got a gentle nudge to listen to this song, which has always picked me up. Hope it helps all of my brothers and sisters in Christ this morning!
The lyric that always hits me right in the heart:
*... So get up, and answer, when you hear the call
Don't be afraid to walk, just because you're gonna fall.
A man is not defined by how he acts in good times, But rather how we shine through the dark skyline.
And continues to climb, up the highest incline If you stumble, stay humble, God will help you rise
Never do it your way, do it Yaweh.*
Note: I don't own the song, nor rights to it. Downloaded long ago, I believe this is performed by some of the members of DeepSpace5
I was going through some old pictures, scrolling through January 2021, because it's the anniversary of my father's death. Thanks be to God during all that madness, that Dad was able to come home and be with us, unlike so many others who died alone.
I had just found this website around that time. I thought it was funny that some of the pictures I found around that time would have a Q in it. Like there was a barbecue place in Charleston, South Carolina called the Q and I remember posting that here and reading all the great responses for my brothers and sisters in arms.
Being a part of this movement gave myself the resolve to fight the madness and not get the jabs and at least help me convince my wife to also be strong and be brave when facing job risk, family pressure etc.
Watching the video last night from Pascal Najadi, I was struck by how awesome this movement really is and how many people have worked so hard to uncover the truth and to teach us all and lead us all. This is a military operation that will someday make our grandchildren proud.
Thank you to everyone who does so much work to do the research, to find the truth, and to be brave enough to speak the truth. And thank you for all the amazing memes that provide some laughs in some dark days.
Where we go one we go all.
Behold me, my beloved Jesus, weighed down under the burden of my trials and sufferings I cast myself at Thy feet that Thou mayest renew my courage and my strength while I rest here in thy Presence. Permit me to lay down my cross in Thy Sacred Heart, for only Thy infinite goodness can sustain me, only Thy Iove help me to bear my cross, only Thy powerful hand lighten its weight.
O my divine King Jesus, whose heart is so compassionate to the afflicted. I wish to live in Thee, and die invoking Thee. Be to me, during my life, my model and my support; at the hour of my death be my hope and my refuge.

My daughter attends a local community college in dear old Massacookawitz. In order to register for Spring 2022 classes, the students have to prove vaccination or apply for a waiver. My daughter (22) has some neurological disabilities and as her legal guardian, myself and my wife are keeping her from getting the jab.
Check out this line of questioning by the school for a religious exemption. I would appreciate any lawyers reading this to respond if possible, as I feel like the religious exemption questions are bordering on harassment.
The header indicates several times that this will be an "interactive" process:
Massachusetts Community College members, including students, faculty, and staff must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and submit verification of their fully vaccinated status to the College absent an approved reasonable accommodation consistent with the Student Vaccination Policy located at https://mwcc.edu/covid. All requests for reasonable accommodation, including any requests to be exempt from vaccine requirements for medical or religious reasons, will be considered consistent with applicable laws and legal guidance and the Board of Higher Education Policy on Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity & Diversity for the Massachusetts Community Colleges. The College will engage in an interactive process to determine if you are eligible for a reasonable accommodation, and if so, whether the requested accommodation is reasonable and does not create an undue hardship for the College and/or does not pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others in the learning and working environment, as applicable. If unable to submit verification of full vaccination status and seeking a reasonable accommodation to comply with the Student Vaccination Policy, you should complete and submit this form along with the requested documentation as soon as possible and without delay in order to allow adequate time for the individualized interactive process to occur.
Here are the first two questions:
Describe why you are unable to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and/or unable to submit verification of full vaccination status in compliance with the Student Vaccination Policy.
Describe the reasonable accommodation you are requesting (including the applicable time period, if any) and all other alternate reasonable accommodations you considered (if none considered list other alternate reasonable accommodations that may address your needs). If your request is based on a disability (ex. health condition), describe your disability and how it prevents/limits you from obtaining the COVID-19 vaccine and/or submitting verification of full vaccination status in compliance with the Student Vaccination Policy.
Then, clicking 'Yes' to the question of "Is your request based on religion?" is when the harassment begins. The following questions are mandatory:
Describe your sincerely-held religious beliefs or practices that prevent or limit you from obtaining the COVID-19 vaccine and/or submitting verification of full vaccination status in compliance with the Student Vaccination Policy.
How long have you adhered to these religious beliefs or practices?
Are you a member of a particular church or religious organization that also holds these religious beliefs or practices?
What is the name of the church/religious organization and how long have you been a member?
Provide all other examples of how you abide by these religious beliefs or practices.
Does anything other than the COVID-19 vaccine verification requirement interfere with these religious beliefs or practices?
Have you received other vaccinations required for attendance at the College (ex. Tdap, Hepatitis B? MMR? Varicella? Meningococcal?)
Have these religious beliefs or practices prevented or limited you from receiving any other vaccination(s)?
Explain why your objection to the COVID-19 vaccination is not based on secular grounds such as personal philosophy, preference or inconvenience.
Attach documentation supporting your request for reasonable accommodation based on religion, if any (OPTIONAL):
I attached a signed letter provided by Latin Mass magazine, which I feel gives a complete summary as well.
Can the college legally ask these types of questions?
I volunteer at an amazing organization called Veteran's Inc. As a vet, I want to somehow give back to our community, and it breaks my heart that any veteran doesn't have food, shelter or a steady job. Started in Worcester, MA as an organization to help both homeless men and women veterans, Veteran's Inc has grown in both its services offerings, as well as locations. It's incredible the services that are now offered, with 90% of all donations going directly to programs and services.
Reaching out to my fellow Patriots, as there's a Stand Down event on June 18th. This event is incredible - SO many local business come down for a day filled with food, music - and most important, getting clothing and supplies needed by the homeless.
If you'd like to donate, I'd encourage you to do so to this worthy organization.
Thank you!

Since it's clear we are watching watching a movie, and massive change is coming, what are people investing in? What's some strategies to take for ensuring revenue growth during this time?
I'm an investing nube, and have had mediocre results trying to get started.
Thanks in advance for any pro tips! WWG1WGA!!
It has been a challenge throughout the past few years, as I've lived through the trials of the "catholic" church. As I continue to learn, research and read about all things Q, it has been even more eye opening as to the horrible crimes that the "catholic" church continues to drive. In the "catholic" church that we see in Rome, as well as across the world in some bishops, we see the leaders today are so often like the pharisees of Jesus' time, serving their own self interests and using their power and manipulation to control.
When I was a kid in the early '70s, it was "Catholic" with a capital 'C', as in: Catholic stood for the universal Four Marks of the Church - "One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic". I was raised that the Catholic church represented the unbroken chain of Jesus Christ's church that he put in place on earth. This is the Church in which Christ himself proclaimed that "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven." (Matthew 16:16-19)
As we come to the end of Lent, I am struck that once again I find myself in love with the traditions of the Church, which help me focus my life on God. Lent, being a time of preparation for the celebration of Easter, is a wonderful tradition to unplug from the world, and focus on God. I have rediscovered in the past 40 days a sense of peace, joy and calm, since I have focused my prayer and time to giving God control in my life. Not trust in man. Man has proven to fail God since the beginning. But trust in God, who sees all things and knows all things. It is God, and God alone who will guide us through this storm.
To be a true Catholic today is very challenging. I attend a traditional latin Mass, as a way to ensure that each Sunday I focus my time and attention on God. This doesn't mean I'm "holier" or "better" - in fact, on my knees, I remember the great line from Chesteron. When asked "What's wrong with the world today?", Chesterton responded, "I am."
I pray with so many here, to the one, true Living God, who sent his only son to save us. I pray that he may rid his true Church of evil, and that we may be given the grace to have the heart of Jesus. I pray for both my enemies and friends, and I pray that we all seek the Truth.
May God Bless you and keep you,
A fellow soldier
