We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

As I have said many times that big govt stimulus does not actually work. As money is shifted to a site for a project that money will go to the senior or most skilled labor. As private industry does not have the resources to compete they will still spend the same money on a project but may use a lower skilled person. This does not really create a new job opening as much as it moves to skilled or senior persons around.

The Killer Kittens? I'm entertaining thoughts of trading them for two guinea pigs. One of them, or maybe both, have torn a section of my living room blinds -- a relatively neat block of five slats on one side. Now my place looks like all the other aspiring-to-be-a-ghetto windows around here. Dammit.

Go out on almost any moonless night in August and you are bound to see a few “shooting stars.” Go out on the night of Aug. 12-13 and you will see lots of them. This is the night when the annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak, and a single observer at a dark-sky location can expect to see between 50 to 75 meteors in an hour. The Perseids are perhaps the year’s most consistent meteor shower, and they occur under nearly ideal circumstances this year. The crescent moon won’t rise until well into the early morning hours, and the mild nights are perfect for stretching out on a comfortable beach chair and looking skyward.

I assume that you'll hear nothing about this from Democracy leadership. That's because they know he needs to temporarily change his branding if he hopes to get reelected in WV. His even saying this much means he intends to run again instead of retiring.
Once he wins, he'll get back on the reservation, where he wants to be anyway.

I'm trying to get rid of clutter ahead of a possible relocation. There's a *lot* of junk I want to dump. It's just exhausting to think about carting it all to the dumpster or donating it to the thrift store. I keep seeing TV ads for a company that comes and takes your junk away: "All you have to do is point." (And write them a check, naturally.) It begins to sound pretty attractive.
There's something attractive, too, in the thought of dumping a lot of old junk and starting over: like being reborn, or like a crab shedding its old shell.

I was helping an elderly woman move recently. A hoarder. I told her she needed a hundred boxes. She said she had six and thought that would do it as she was going to donate stuff.
She ended up moving a hundred boxes of stuff she did not donate into a storage unit for which she now has to pay monthly rent. Some people just can't part with stuff.

Drove by a post office yesterday with a huge green bag outside filled with stuff. My wife saw on FB that you pick up the bag at Lowe's (don't know cost info), fill it up with your junk, then call the company up and they weigh it and haul it away. You pay per pound I guess.
My guess of the bag dimensions would be ten foot by five foot by four foot high. That's a lot of room.

>>Two Federalist Society legal scholars say Trump can't be president under the 14th amendment for inciting an insurrection and giving aid to others who also insurrected.
The one teeny tiny problem is that Trump and no one else has actually been charged with insurrection.
This is akin to Alvin Bragg elevating misdemeanors to felonies because Trump violated some unspecified federal law.
NeverTrumpers are just assholes, period, stop, end of story.

But there are often treasures like a special letter or card buried in a pile of 12 year old bills.
Best find so far is the ventriloquist dummy (of color) that belonged to her favorite uncle. Also letters from her British penpal from grade school days.

An index card is where we write out our OP Plans, in cursives, to keep OPSEC preserved.
Wouldn't our secret police want to know our real OP Plans? Terms with me can be arranged, but "they" should be prepared to eliminate my Google file. Plus bring plenty of negotiable items like gold, Val-U-Rite kegs, and my wife's life-sustaining prescribed and legal drugs.

One of our curates is a very intelligent fellow. In one of his sermons, he said that our prayers should be structured in four parts, in descending order:
1) Praise to the Lord
2) Thanksgiving for blessings received
3) Remorse for failings
4) Petitions for intercession
In a church bulletin, he even had a sample structure for a prayer following this outline. Losers like me who were badly catechized when young and then lapsed for too many years simply have no idea how to pray, so this was by far the most useful sermon I've heard.

The Soviets used pens too. Neither them nor the US used pencils over concerns that fragments of graphite would break off and float around. A pen in space has to be different because of zero-G conditions but the pens that were developed were actually inexpensive.

I use the finest point black pen (Pilot) I can find. Also use 4 X 6 index cards daily - from the dollar store. I write the day and date at the top, then the weather forecast for the day and the next day - as a choice between two days may make me wait a day. I write things to the right side I want to get done, or as the day progresses stuff I have done. It's nice to be able to pick up the cards and search for last date grass was cut or when I ordered something. Occasionally I'll put my weight or waist size in the upper right.
I think in retirement some daily semblance of discipline is good.

That reminds me:
If any of you are birdfeeder types, try a fly-through feeder. We've just used them this season but have retired our traditional feeders as they've failed and replaced them with the fly-through type.
We don't have squirrel problems which might be a concern for some, though. The fly-through style is fantastic for cleaning and refilling, though. And larger birds can land on them, too. We've had a pileated woodpecker come and see what all the fuss is about once.

1) Praise to the Lord
2) Thanksgiving for blessings received
3) Remorse for failings
4) Petitions for intercession
As a Protestant, that is actually much preferred over what is typical in public prayers:
1) "Thank you for your mercy"
2)
3) "We pray for those who need Your help"
4) "Keep us Safe"

Food was good. The cooks want to do a good job. Of course, when they truck hot food out to the boonies when you're on alert in winter in Germany, that food is the best you ever had.

Did much of my time as a junior sailor on the old Knox class frigates.
Small crew, small mess decks. Limited amount of storage for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (FF&V).
But, the galley did the best they could with what they had. Sometimes it was not the best, but it was always edible. And the underway Sunday brunch was a sight to behold.
And there was always Navy Chili-Mac.
Still love that stuff.

Sheet cake type pineapple upside-down cake, serves 32 people.
I would grab four-five of the little dishes that had a slice in them.
Just to eat the pineapple and glaze, then throw out the left behind cake.
And bowls of Creamed Chipped Beef on Sundays. Right next to the half pound of bacon, and three eggs over easy.

They can be but the church is a little fussy about the ashes. Sprinkling them around is a big no no. Ask your priest if cremation is right for you.

More than likely.
Back in the day, when I was still the holder of a valid FFL Class 3 (C&R) license, USPS could legally deliver qualified small weapons in small boxes with no reference to content of box to my front door.

“What do we do now?”
“LET’S MAKE MORE EVs!!!”
It amazes me that the market rejected the Chevy Volt and the response by many auto manufacturers is simply to make more of what people don’t want.
Oh, and if the U.S. auto industry is destroyed by this, you can’t blame free trade for this.

Mess-hall food was good. At San Diego we ate a lot of rabbit. That was my favorite, along with chipped beef on toast. On-board ship, we traveled in a typhoon for several days and got no food. On Okinawa (Camp Schwab) the food was fantastic. In Viet Nam, had to eat at a Seabee camp. Breakfast was a slice of fried bologna, lunch was a cube of jello with a slice of carrot in it. Gave up on that and lived on MREs. Back in the USA (Weymouth, MA), food was decent.

There was a perception that cremation was associated with denying the Resurrection of the Body. It’s allowed now, but there are certain restrictions, such has not scattering the ashes, as noted above.
