Happy Sunday all!
An interesting lineup...our SJW seems to have FDR on the brain...but what I like is he’s running I was a Communist for the FBI; but is doing so before his beloved Blacklisted show...is Murray a communist?...anyway, I’m happy to see I Was A Commie being played, I wonder if SJW will try to use it as an example...then a tribute to super cool Berry...and an interesting 2000 Plus with the great name of The Brooklyn Brain...
How you doing?
FDR prayer from election eve speech, from 1928 Book of Common Prayer:
FDR speech text:
http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/daybyday/resource/november-1940/
http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1928/Pray&Thanks.htm
“ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
Hey. Is there a reason for the FDR focus now? I got your messages, didn’t understand their intention.
A beautiful prayer.
Murray is certainly a Dem, which accounts for his choice. I thought it was interesting that FDR would often use prayer, something today’s Dem leaders would not.
Probably because this Tuesday is Election Day.
How's it going, Vision? Another mass shooting in a church today. Purely evil. Other than that, we're doing fine down here.
Things are good. Baltimore city is going through an unusual rash of violence which is unsettling.
What loss, a nightmare in Texas. I’m waiting to deal with it until more is learned about the shooter.
Baltimore is a kinda rough place, from what I understand, but an uptick in violence IS disturbing. I know you’re careful.
Evil people are riled up now. The Knockout Game is from the very pit of Hell.
HA! Good point, Vision.
Vision, I hope you have a good week. Stay safe.
Night Gina.
Murray is a scumbag.
