Russo-Turkish War of 1828–29 => no, sorry turns out the Greeks were fighting on their side.
Or how about “guage” vs “gage”.
Matthew 24:37-39
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

(for the thread)
Thank you for your kind wishes re the “cat ranch”. I actually am a slave to only one cat, inherited from my late Dad. I chose this moniker as my job was rather like “herding cats” as the saying goes. I love this cat dearly, mostly for her own sake, partly on behalf of my wonderful Dad, but I am not a “cat lady” — just a lady who loves a cat.
Thank you for your quote from Ephesians. I copy-pasted it into my file of fave Bible quotes.
This reminds me of the last days of the multi-culti Greek world, then the last gasps of the dying Roman Empire, when unwanted newborns were exposed (Greek) or tossed into the Tiber (Rome — but often fished out and rescued by those outlawed pesky Christians, haha).
We no longer care about our children or preserving their innocence. This means we no longer believe in or care our future. Bad, bad omen.
Everything nowadays is all about adults, what is convenient to adults. Never mind the children, we can’t let them get in the way of our hedonistic pleasures.
Caught it, after you caught it -
Thank you though!
Noah experienced the barbarians before the barbarians.
Society is going all in now.
Body piercings, tattoo’s, clothing, “music”, “art”, speech, anti-culture...
More and more, we are resembling the most devolved pagan ritualistic tribalism we recently identified with Aboriginal or Ecuadorian head hunter tribes.
No question it is Satanic to the core.
I have days like that
Plus this phone’s keyboard seems to have a mind of its own.
Must be static.
(tattoos)
Can’t tell you the number of pretty young women who have those all over their arms, etc.
They were just fine without them.
The Mark of the Beast will just be another tattoo, of course.
And it makes shopping 🛒 so convenient!
I am truly deeply sorry for the loss of your father...
It’s hard to comprehend, but God loves you even more than your father or family here on this earth.
I lost my father in a horrible auto accident in 2001. He saved my youngest brothers life, but lost his own.
My family was very close, and my dad and me were closer than most could understand.
Make sure you give this to your cat -
“he’s got no choice but to finish what he started, even if the goals have been diminished”
That’s a very weak position to be in strategically, since he isn’t going to be making decisions based on what is objectively the best option, but rather based on his own survival. If the Ukrainians are smart they can take advantage of this kind of stubbornness to bleed the Russians dry.
“psychological analysts from different agencies (and not all our own), had Putin tagged as possible to probable sociopath...”
Not exactly a tricky diagnosis, since almost all successful intelligence operatives have sociopathic tendencies. It’s practically a job requirement.
Thank you. My Dad was a brilliant scientist who did much good for this poor old world of ours. I miss him so much. The worst was watching his incredible mind and finally his body succumb to dementia. Such a cruel disease
The cat (age around 14) is doing well now despite her age now that I have her eating Honest Kitchen food.
The dog (age about 16) I inherited from my late mother, not so much. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease not long after Mom adopted her from the local animal shelter six years ago. I have tried the special shampoo recommended by vet ($36/week) and pills from vet ($210/month) and have her on special food, but nothing seems to work. She stinks to high heaven even two days after washing her in the expensive shampoo and keeps pulling out her fur. She looks so sad and alarming now, most of her fur missing!
I have heard the ads for Dinovite and wondered if it would he!p her, but so many scams these days. Have you tried it? I would love to get a realistic take from a real person. I am getting desperate over this poor little miserable dog. My heart just breaks for her.
Again, thank you for your kindness. It is a most welcome balm. I am so very sorry about your Dad. What a hero. He will a!ways be remembered for that.
One more reason why every country on earth should create iron clad laws to keep 'intelligence' people from establishing themselves as a third, fourth, or first branch of government.
All the folks who said, "But, but, but - that's immoral, unethical and totally wrong... are weeded out the second year of service. Living in the gray is ... for the most part - closer to evil than most of us ever want to be.
Works when you're up against a greater evil but these are the sheepdogs we sense and fear. Probably the only ones tough enough to protect us...
Yes, we may need sociopaths to do certain jobs, but we definitely don’t want sociopaths to ever be in a position of power, where their only oversight is other sociopaths.
Paladins are a great tool. I remember the first one with “Have Gun, Will travel” on the barrel.
The Russians have been flying up to 300 sorties a day. Of course, they have control of the air, obviously more so now than when the war began given all the military targets the Russians hit and continue to hit.
You're believing propaganda that isn't remotely true. But, given that it is coming from the Biden regime, you should be able of figure that out. The Biden regime is lying again. Fancy that.
The regime wants to desperately extend the war in hopes of, somehow, hurting Russia or getting NATO involved. But, Ukrainians are dying and losing more and more of their country. That is why Donald Trump said we should be negotiating an end to the war.
Are you are neo-Nazis is that why you’re supporting Ukraine?
The same globalists and neocons behind the election fraud and behind the attempts to drive Trump out of office have been behind what's been going on Ukraine. Ukraine is a honey hole for corrupt politicians and their rich donors. The same people want to turn Russia into what Ukraine has been -- a country run by oligarchs that will funnel the money back to US politicians and business interests.
This is war is about globalists trying to take down a Russian nationalists that is hindering their agenda.
“For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine.” (Psalm 50:10-11)
“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.” (Proverbs 27:23)
“The righteous care for the needs of their animals...” (Proverbs 12:10a)
*The plain brown colored Sparrow was common and present where Jesus walked, and may well it may be the second most common bird in the world.
It is within this context Jesus, Gods only son, told us God cares for even these common lowly Sparrows.
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:26)
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father [or without our Fathers knowledge]. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29-31)
That you would care and love the lives of the lesser little creatures that God gave, is both honorable, and I believe a picture of your sensitive and tender compassion and grace, but even more really, a picture of Gods heart of hearts love and care and tenderness, and compassion and grace poured out on you!
You have lost your most loved family members, your parents, an they were physical and tangibly. They loved you and you loved them deeply, and with all of your life. But God is the one Who gave you your parents, and all of these are temporary human relationships in the backdrop of eternity. And your parents were already such a gift... Wait till you can be with them forever!
Even if there was great turmoil and heartache. Christians are not ever sinless on this earth. “There is none righteous, no not one.” God will deal with unforgiven sin at the Great White Throne.
If you belong to Him, His loving arms which were stretched out on that cross, are already wrapped around you, and nothing in the universe is strong enough to pull you out of His hands which were pierced for you!
And to him, and because He loved you so much, He would have gone to the cross if only for you!
Regardless of their sin, if your parents belonged to Jesus (*Yeshua Hamashiak), your mother and father will once again hold you in their arms, and probably not long from now!
I have included a link to Psalm 139, which J listen to often, as I am really down sometimes...
My prayer is that you will fully grasp and rest, and have peace through this text —
There re those who are most certainly narcissistic.
All humans have the capacity of blind arrogance and pride however.
