Qanteen Report

*After reading the synopsis of “Hannible” by Cats PJs, texokie, who is still processing last night’s Q drops, decides to spend some time today in the LexiQon office researching and writing - despite the current Q Flurry.

She makes sure the cube steaks are bubbling properly on the back burner of the industrial sized stove. They are lightly breaded with only a dusting of low carb flour, (combo of tapioca and coconut) and are set to simmer in a light gravy for two hours. Other FReeQs have volunteered to mind them.

The large crock pots on the counter contain slow-cooking soups, a crockpot spinach soufflé, and some au gratin potatoes. A large tossed salad is prepared and sitting in the fridge. We still have a few pies left over from Wneighbor’s not-so-crazy-aunt, and there are 4 boxes of eclairs also in the fridge which a FReeQ with a majorly shameful pastry sweet tooth brought in - and which most of us applaud! [Digging these bunny holes burns a LOT of calories! LOL!] Fresh and abundant covfefe and sammiches are available, along with popcorn and vegetable trays and dips of many kinds.

Before gratefully settling with her laptop in one of the large easy chairs in the corner of the LexiQon office which Swordmaker is providing for LexiQon staff, along with the walnut research table, she pauses in the hall and listens a little bit to the ‘Chop Sticks’ being played on the Steinweigh. She then walks down the Qanteen hall past the Oracle and LexiQon offices, and enters the Qanteen Quiet Room. The Qanteen hall, though wide and spacious, is NOTHING like that portrayed in Cats PJ’s post 1133.

She enters the Qanteen Quiet Room quietly, as one might expect, because other FReeQs are already there working with their personal Bibles and devotional materials.

Someone has opened the window, and today the lake is quiet too. There is a dock at the edge of the Qanteen property, to the viewer’s left, as one peers out the window. Some FReeQs are sitting on the dock fishing, others are swimming, and all are talking softly about the current Q flurry we are in. Each of them have at the ready their phones or laptops - in waterproof containers for the highly energetic activity required of dedicated FReeQs these days.

texokie notices that above the U.S. flag to the right of the window, someone has placed eight 5x7, 4x6, and billfold sized framed prints of several photos into a stunning and inspiring wall grouping, which include:

1. The iconic heart wrenching picture taken following the OKC Bombing of the Fireman with the Baby in His Arms

On the wall to the left of the bay window, there is now an 8x10 framed picture of the Lord Jesus surrounded by children, with happy approving onlooking adults.

The table in front of the bay window still has Jenny Moore’s and Seth Rich’s framed pictures. Added to them is also the framed picture of Nole Edward Remagen.

texokie retrieves her devotional materials from the cubby, takes a seat and bows her head*

Wneighbor joins Texokie in some prayer and devotional time. We all knew this would get ugly when the light shone on evil. We all heard the warnings that it could get deadly dangerous.

I’ve struggled over the last 24-36 hours trying to find words of comfort for my fellow ~beloved~ FreeQs who are having evil being brought forth in their denominations. My heart bleeds for each of you and I am well aware of 3 things.

First, the God we all serve is the same. We are His children and He loves each of us.

Second, none of our denominations is without evil in the ranks. You are not alone when the light may bring forth evil in the ranks. No denomination is without it. We stand together.

Third, the faithful among us have one another’s backs. We as believers don’t paint with a broad brush that this is Catholics, Jews or even Protestants who are evil. We will stand for one another in love. The love of God will overcome this. I believe this is a lesson the faithful learned well and hard from the 20th century. At least I know the faithful in this community did.

I don’t think I speak only for myself. I know each of you has been in my prayers in extra portion the past 2 days. I also know I’ve forgotten names that I should be pinging with this message. My apologies but I know God hasn’t forgotten even one of you.

Retiring back to my prayer spot. Priorities.
