  1. May The Lord Jesus Christ bless you this day.
    “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

  4. I’d like to wish everybody a merry Christmas, and a deep and heartfelt thank you. This site, and the people that I have found on here have helped me find the good while struggling through this difficult year.

  5. From this list, I could subtract a few, and add few. Trump appears to be confident and will fight. I believe he finally got radicalized, and will not leave unless forced.

      1. The Smartest Man In The World – IQ 200 – Is Convinced The U.S. Election Was Stolen.

        Christopher Langan is well renowned as the Smartest Man in America and indeed perhaps the world. Now, he’s railing against the alleged election fraud that “delivered” the race for Joe Biden.
        Langan, 68, tweeted this week: “Many citizens, including me, won’t accept cheating scoundrels like Biden or Harris as leaders. Best get ready for trouble.”

    1. You honor us, Charles, with your post. I knw many folks who revere Christmas and other holy days. Some of them believe that every day is holy.

      Carry on in grace

  11. Our best Christmas laugh shared here:

    Today our 5YO GD was given a pair of Disney-theme walkie talkies. She turned them on. There was static and chatter over them.

    Her LEO father listened, then started laughing. They are picking up the local police car voice transmissions.

    Now the rest of the family wants them.
