I wish to make atonement for forgetting to post today's class. I had to leave town to babysit my grandkids. When I realized my mistake I tried to get on line with my kindle to alert someone to open for me. For some reason, although I tried numerous times, I couldn't make a wifi connection work. So sorry. Homework will be accepted late.

There is no atonement for the sin of liberalism. None at all.

So very true. One must grow up and become Republican by 30, or die a liberal.

The world would be astonished if 0 atoned for his sins against Christianity.

Remedial Class is by definition atonement.

Would this not be considered, “Word for the Evening”?

For his myriad offenses against the Nation, including, inter alia, his refusal to acknowledge the intrinsic evil of militant Islam; his systematic evisceration of the Separation of Powers provided under the U.S. Constitution; his continual arrogation and usurpation of power through unalloyed fiat and abuse of Executive Order, his complicity in the slaughter of members of Seal Team Six; his destruction of discipline and effectiveness in our Armed Forces; and his complicity in the massacre of Americans in Benghazi, there is no course of atonement severe enough to earn him forgiveness.
Do I need to mention his name?

A++ I am shocked that Americans still support him and his evil antics.

We are doing fairly well. DH has been diagnosed with cancer, yet refuses to act. It is my biggest worry. Other that that life threat, we are fine. RME

I shall pray for your hubby that he gets himself to a medical facility ASAP. I just received word that one of our oldest friends died of cancer, and we didn’t even know it. (They lived on the other side of the country and had become VERY liberal so we only corresponded at Christmas. It happened fast.) He was diagnosed late, and there was no help available. This was an extremly talented and wealthy man who had everything to live for. He left a widow with 3 houses to care for. No children. They were both “only” children themselves, so there is not much family around at all. Funny thing, his wife has become conservative since his passing.
To: tioga
I don’t know how to advise you on that decision or indecision. Prayer is always a good start.

No need to worry about making atonement for matters beyond your control — it’s not you didn’t make a good-faith effort or should’ve known better, like before posting a state map depicting well-known locations....

The consultant advised surgery immediately to remove it. Prostate cancer can be ignored, they are not advising him to do that though. His brother has stage 4 prostate cancer, too late. DH is the 4th in his immediate family to get this same cancer.
